evangelicals in the usa: plotting how to make the poor, gays and immigrants suffer evangelicas in my country: potting how to rescue a trapped pigeon

I really don't think Jesus would had been a conservative, tbqf. I mean, come on, jobless carpenter who criticized greed and state power with his loyal band of 12 friends doesn't sound too conservative to me.

I get more pleasant feelings from posting here than on Twitter, even if way fewer interactions. The lunatic vibe sort of ruins it for me.

Anyway, I love being a lizard.

Lol, it's actually literally that. Around 16-20 yo I noticed how weird & freakish I was & made an effort to be pleasant & upbeat. I practiced my expressions and physical posture in front of the mirror, studied other people, made an effort to keep eye contact (something that is still hard for me).

The local drunk gentleman who insults everybody loves me. The grumpiest nurse ever to have lived calls me "angel". Patients say I'm a saint. I even got a formal congratulations on my bedside manner by the town's mayor. How do I do it. It's like my autism is for social charm or something.

I'm noticing this weird tendency of late that people fall silent when I speak and I'm sort of worried to be transforming into my uncle, whose's autistic (literal) respect for the truth has made people sort of recur to him when any divisive issue arises.

I succeed at fasting yesterday on Ash Wednesday 🫡.

I was thinking, given that apparently some places have *succeed* at cost 0 energy (nuclear in France, for ex.), there is no reason that after robots come to function well, we could make the cost of pensioners exceedingly cheap (being taken care by robots that would use nuclear energy).

I hate to admit it but maybe the anti AI art people were sort of right.

Twitter is so full of Nazis, it's crazy. At this point I'm sort of supporting including nationalism as a mental issue.

It's Saint Valentine's Day and I'm here alone listening to a podcast on what would happen if the sun disappeared. How's your day going.

date idea: we made a blood pact on the one who escapes the permanent underclass has to help out the other

The key thing you learn in a theoretical CS class is that wildly varying systems can be computationally identical. There is no connection to that here except by analogy, but I do think it immunizes you against the idea that two things that are mechanistically different must be essentially different.

I would be interested in a playlist of the best LOTR inspired music that isn't from the LOTR soundtrack. I bet that would have some pretty great stuff, the Chris Thile and Led Zepellin alone..

This is the luck of the autistic woman:

animals who are jerks: - swans - dolphins - ducks - geese - kangaroos - racoons - cats - crows - ravens - parakeets as you can see, birds are over-represented in the jerk category

I know this is speaking from privilege but sometimes I would like if there were something like summer part-time jobs but for adults, as if spending 1 month working in an aquarium, a cinema, a bookstore, a garden, Idk.

If I'm not whimsical, explain why I love Disney, birds perch on my finger and why I'm being followed by an overly-insisting bee, ah. Exactly. You can't.

I have perfect pitch but for morality.

Best novels after the 1950s is easier than the best novels b. 1900s-1950s. My views: 1900s: The Wings of the Dove, Where Angels Fear to Tread, The Golden Bowl, The House of Mirth, The Buddenbrooks 1910s: Of Human Bondage, The Phantom of the Opera; Ethan Frome (Disclaimer: I haven't read Joyce).

To me is wild to meet again the people from my childhood who believed that yoga, astrology, tarot, Harry Potter, Baudelaire are satanic. I truly believed this archetype died out (and these ladies are even younger than my parents). Not sure what to make of it.

the key to all the secrets of the universe and it's just math

"But you are a radical": Yes. I am.

Given that many women and men will likely remain single, I will be investing in Paradox games and weighted blankets and call it a day.

My only comment on the Epstein revelations: the crisis of trust is severe and affects both right and left. Given that trust and justice are necessary for our political system to function, a technical and open committee should be formed and charges brought against anyone rich and powerful.

I wrote a short story: borretti.me/fiction/julia

The face of an angel, the charm of a mermaid and the temper of a 85 yo retired librarian: me.

There are 2 questions used as "caught you" w/ me: 1. What's your profession? Asked by men who want to prove my job is one of these "bs jobs" and therefore = women don't do things of value outside the home. They universally shut up after I tell them I'm a MD. 2. "But what makes you a conservative"

I have commented that there is no long academic history of the US by state. This also happens in other subjects: in general there are no long detailed academic works on periods: for ex., the Victorian era cultural & social history, same with a history of Germany in the 19th c.

clawdbots are recreating feminism from first principles and you are dooming

ok how do i do this

I really like to organize my bookmarks on a Friday afternoon. I don't care how uncool it is. I will be reading in an orderly fashion while you savages will be doing that horrible chaotic approach.

You know what would make you feel better? Hanging a lot of art in the walls. That wall over there looks way too bare, trust me on this.

I'm at the "hearing doors open and close" stage of spending the weekend alone at home.

There should be a state program to make life more like university: yes, this may sound pathetic/weird but if you think about it many people go around life without structure and goals and there is a lose of human potential there.

There are many areas where we lack long academic books. Surprising but there are no good books on: • history of the USA by state (look it up) • a long academic cultural and social history of the Victorian era • a long academic cultural and social history of Germany in the 19th century

Best part of being autistic is that you make discoveries about society as an adult that apparently everyone knew since they were like 10 yo.

my hobbies: complaining online

squirrel on her way to do a rabid feminism

My favourite aspect of children is how we have to teach them that messed up thing we do is actually entirely normal and no, we are not looking for any solutions 😌.

The worst tragedies will be happening and I'll be like "what a world of wonders, how beautiful the world is".

One day I will be the sort of woman who wears nail polish and feels fashionable and not the sort of woman who tries to wear it and feels condemned to the fires of hell because she is basically a Quaker.

Cousin and I were seeing pics of our. grandmother dressed as a man in her teens/early 20s (she looked very handsome with her moustache). She also collected pics of pretty women and was very odd when young. We take after her, ofc.

There is a type of northern hemisphere Catholic that just doesn't exist where I live: the sort of Catholic who cares a lot about the minutiae of liturgy but cares a fig about the poor, the weak, foreigners, etc. The turbo Catholics I know are all about charity.

I go back to Twitter and bam boom, viral post. Which is nice but also, God, there are a lot of mad people there. It frustrates me that many are at the stage of just not seeing with their own eyes (on Alex Pretti's muder).

There is something that sort of makes me feel good about being followed (on social media) for being "fiery" and "strange".

I want to whine and whimper so much yet I will have to live my life with daring.

how i rise each morning knowing that the world is my country and all men are my brothers vs how nationalists rise from bed hating all the world but their country and having no brothers

OK. It's not only yoga that is Satanic but also the French poet Baudelaire?! I'm somewhat aghast at a lady who teaches English at what's arguably the best local university saying this. I'm also very curious.
