Autistic people are expected to spend ridiculous amounts of energy untangling unspoken rules to blend into neurotypical society when one health class during elementary school explaining how Some People Communicate Differently And That's Okay could improve our lives massively for the better.

existence of normalization implies existence of abnormalization

Always ask what they mean by "mom & pop" and I mean this broadly. When pressed, people often offer that they heard it someplace. What they heard was "mom & pop" as substitute for the term "small" and, friends, that has a technical meaning and you'd be surprised how big small really is.

It’s cool how the President keeps having meltdowns and it’s fine but when I do it, it’s a big deal and a symptom of my disorder

Shocked myself with wall voltage for the first time! Felt kind of underwhelming. Didn't happen when I was working with electronics... I was in class trying to plug something in and I had to unplug something and my fingers slipped and grabbed the live and neutral while it was still plugged in lol

The bothsidesing of our present crisis, and this equating of the Fascist Right and the "extreme Left," is such a fantasy, and it's borne out of a class of people who have been legitimately radicalized because social media allows people to tell them they suck shit, which is unacceptable to them.

Title: I Can't Believe I Have To Marry The Novel's Assassin Lord In Order To Survive?? Actual plot six chapters later: ok I have now created a small company that uses magical tea leaves to cure death. I believe that by healing the elf prince of enemy country Elfbelia, I will solve the geopoliti-

Been trying to read some isekai lately.

our current system of submitting resumes into an endless void is bad enough that pretty much any alternative would be preferable at this point. you want me to participate in an ARG to get an interview? sure why not. solve the riddles of a fey creature without giving away my name? worth a shot

John Wick Mandlbaur

he is either (1) stupid enough to not know when his own daughter-in-law and own voice are AI-generated (a risk in its own terms) or (2) someone in the White House thinks they can make money off lying about MedBeds

linux colonel

Just to recap, the actual president found an AI-generated video of a fake news report depicting a fake announcement about an imaginary healthcare system based on a technology that doesn’t exist and posted it on his official social media account

it is just a straightforward statement of fact to say that the trump administration sees any black student at an elite institution as one too many

The thing regular people don’t often grasp about ‘academic freedom’ is that if you don’t allow experts to research & teach in their fields of expertise, guided by their professional judgment & decades of training, you have effectively given up on the concept of knowledge & shut down your university

My sister’s report from “war torn” Portland: “too many farmers markets, please send help.”

“i feel like a loser sometimes” me: “we all feel like that!! i love being a loser!!” “i’m a loser who does physics and doesn’t go outside…” “hey!!! that’s not what makes you a loser! :)” “i— okay i’m a loser who GETS to do physics—“ “YEAHHHHH!!!”

noble gases are just really closed off polycules

If The Problem With Inertia isn't the coolest mech you've ever read about, it's almost certainly the wettest mech you've ever read about.

Encouraging diversity among scientists is ethically right and also leads to better science.

We are a government ruled by viral video fiat now. You aren't even allowed to research which viral video has whipped the regime into a mania and how they came to believe it, because the research of the systems themselves is viewed as "censorship." This how you end up randomly invading Portland.

when the Supreme Court takes away my rights

no I am not going to abbreviate polyethylene terephthalate with glass fiber reinforcement on bluesky because you people are freaks

the cat is dead, ok?? how long do they think cats live!!

Resisting the urge to be pedantic when people talk about Schrodinger's cat like it's some kind of unsolved paradox 😭

Putting undercover cops in the bathroom to look out for people doin' it in the stalls is creepier and lewder than people doin' it in the stalls is.

“a man… was arrested in the bathroom after standing at a urinal for a prolonged period, causing an officer to get suspicious… he was detained in a back room at Penn Station, where officers called him a homophobic slur. His charge of public lewdness was dropped after he completed a diversion program”

ultimately the way this world treats trans women as utterly disposable even despite so often sounding the alarm early for abuse done, and people not listening or mocking it, is why my politics are so concerned with their wellbeing and political subjectivity

Being alive in 2025 is constantly taking ticks of psychic damage

Yeah anyways this whole thing was a hoax and right-wingers are deleting their viral posts about it from earlier today. Completely made up. Rinse repeat with a new one tomorrow.

I imagine this feels mint if you’re a dog

so ICE is a jobs program for men who like to hit women and get away with it

I thought the meta vibes thing was satire omg

Talk Of Fascism Dangerous, Warns Ministry Of Compliance

okay man

imagine getting fired from teaching physics because i am not politically loyal enough to radical centerism

I think there needs to be a rule in journalism in this era that publishing any “people are outraged” stories should require the journalist to actual walk outside and find at least, like 3 living breathing people who give a hoot about the story.

repeating the phrase "full books" as I slam my head against my desk until I pass out

It feels like an insult to the notion of objective reality to invoke “experts” to weigh in on a numerical fact you can verify with a pocket calculator

“If I were a planetary doctor, I would sit down with my patient and say: ‘Last year, I suggested you change something but you didn’t. (...) So your health is declining further." PIK scientist Levke Caesar on the 2025 Planetary Health Check via @theguardian.com. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Finally, autism has arrived

so scared for my antidepressants and ADHD meds augh

Out of fucking control and if I were an elected Dem or running for office I’d be in front of every camera I could find telling America your prescriptions just got twice as expensive, your health insurance premiums are about to skyrocket from ACA subsidy cancellation, and oh the gov shuts down Wed.

Patel is basically admitting on camera that the FBI no longer adheres to the Attorney General Guidelines, which prohibits investigating U.S. persons based solely on First Amendment activity (including membership in a group).

Scene of hegseth pulling all the copper wiring out of the pentagon

"why am I always do stressed out" "why can't I stop getting mad on socials lol" "how come I'm drawing so much slower than the last few years" "why can't I sleep"

Living out my last few peaceful, people-free days in the science building before school starts

An unfortunate thing that happens debating (for lack of a better word) people arguing sex is binary is when you inevitably point to exceptions to their def's they'll go "those are so rare, we shouldn't care ab them" The whole difference of opinion is whether exceptions are humans worth caring about

It's kind of wild how effortlessly they've lept to "any criticism of us is terrorism" and how they seem to be getting away with it
