Iowa high school student Clementine Springsteen got up on stage to be recognized for academic honors
Calmly shouting βtrans rights are human rights!β right next to republican Governor Kim Reynolds
The same governor who signed bills banning gender-affirming care for people under 18 and restricting bathroom access for all trans folks
Get busy on restricting voting access republicans. Because kids hate you.
Watch the video attached to the story at the link below: White supremacist activities are on the rise in Columbus, Ohio. If we don't nip it in the bud and take a stand now, we are headed for disaster. And while you might think "hey, they're only protesting drag shows," I encourage you to revisit the lead-up to WWII in Germany in the 1930s.
I quite enjoyed it.
I knew that "Strange World" was an eco-parable but I did not quite understand just how radical it was. I love animation and I definitely want to watch it now.
I've often thought that at the root of the Climate Crisis is the crisis of narrative or storytelling. We only can conceive of a new future by playing with the possible through the imagination.

Iβve diligently worked my entire life to cultivate the grace with which I was not born. Only in granting myself compassion did I truly find it.

re: Autism "over-diagnosis"
I'd keep in mind that the NY Post is a rag owned by Rupert Murdoch - same guy that owns Fox News. If there are two sides to an issue, they'll be on the fascist side.
Autism "over-diagnosis"
This makes me sad, it implies the increases in people being diagnosed autistic aren't "real" and such people aren't really autistic π

It's also strange this is the takeaway, not that people weren't spotted earlier as #ActuallyAutistic.
I am reminded of this graph of left-handedness. There aren't more left-handed people than before, they're just being correctly identified (and not made to surpress their left-handedness):
How can democracy self-correct if the public does not understand where the problem lies? And where will the pressure for change come from if journalists do not hold the responsible parties accountable?https://presswatchers.org/2023/04/republicans-threaten-to-tank-economy-media-blames-biden/
The usual suspects voted against it, I see.
China just voted for a UN resolution that calls russia the aggressor in Ukraine.

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
