I want to send a special shout-out to my very VERY patient, chill livestock guardian dog Jack: every single baby goat we've had on this farm has to check and see if maybe, just maybe, there's an udder with milk hiding somewhere on the dog.
And Jack just patiently lets them all learn he does not have an udder. He's a very good boy.

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.

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.

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.

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/

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.
