No, no it won't.

I love that I can share science or history or even *soil* ⬆️ on #Mastodon & every comment is thoughtful, polite & interesting.

It’s a nice reminder that despite what I became accustomed to elsewhere, social media can still be interesting & fun. Long live the #fediverse🖖 /2

I wish the world could get as excited about heat pumps as they are when the fruit company has announcements about new stuff

I'm just gonna leave this here.

UKRAINE ATTACKS!!!

Say a prayer and send healing thoughts to the brave Ukrainian Freedom Fighters who today are moving against the Russian invaders!

More alarming every hour': Russians admit Ukraine gains. Is counteroffensive underway? Live updates

I keep meaning to do some more of these. This Teddy Bear ballet dancer is a favorite I did last year.

Can a loud sudden noise jar my #ActuallyAutistic comrades into an instant meltdown?

If so, you are not alone.

@clouddweller @actuallyautistic @disabilityjustice @Shadedlady @homelessjun @disability that’s always fun. Another hack that I just discovered I use on social media. It never pays to argue with trolls because they do not care about facts. But all you have to do is demand receipts. Demand proof that what they say is true and watch EVERYONE ELSE pile on the troll. Saves so much sealioning arguments. Most of them can’t provide proof. Or (and this is fun) they post links that disprove their point. And if they manage to post something, I’m usually able to discredit the source because of the nature of my work.

@evan Qualified no, I don't trust a computer to update properly unless I'm staring at it. In my experience, whenever a computer updates and I'm not looking at it, it gets into a strange state I can't recover from because I don't know how it happened.

That said, if other people want their computers to update while they aren't paying attention, it's fine if that's an option for them, as long as I still have the option to watch mine.

Has anyone tried turning the U.S. off and then back on again?

@theautisticcoach Like a lot of autistic people, my differences in childhood development compared to my peers made me equally a target for ridicule and praise. Being described as "special", even a "genius" by the adults around me did nothing to mitigate the growing sense of dehumanisation I felt during my childhood. And I fell off that pedestal in a big way when I grew up. @actuallyautistic @actuallyautistics @autisticadvocacy

Have my #ActuallyAutistic comrades ever been told or conditioned not to stim? I don’t mean dangerous stims like self harm, but the more common day to day ones like fidgeting, singing, etc.

@Phoenixrisen82 @theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic @actuallyautistics My mother would very sharply tell me to "stop making that noise" that I hadn't even been aware I was making.

My dad was better, much more calmly stopping only stims that has harm potential. But it was the 50s & 60s. We were both undiagnosed autistics, & understood each other, but not why other people were so different.
