The reason why all these conservatives states are starting to create death penalties for pedophilia is because they're trying to look like they're against it while they turn a blind eye to the fact that Trump is one. This is nothing but posturing.

Sorry for the background noise. I hear that background noise is all the buzz, but I am not a fan... I'm autistic. 🚫🪭 Can you spot the relational frames in my puns? #dadjokes #flightjokes #puns #punissuer #beardedbehaviorist

Protesters get called "troublemakers." Kids get called "defiant." Disabled people get called "non-compliant." Behavior science has a name for this: counter-control. And counter-control is NOT a problem to fix in the person. It is a signal that the environment is too restrictive.

This is NOT in reference to the events at BAFTA 2026. It is in reference to the culture of excusing racism regardless of its source. Interestingly, Davidson repeatedly owned his behavior despite it being tourette's related. The shame is on the BBC for not editing, on BAFTA for not accommodating 1of2

What a society protects is what a society values. Right now it appears that what is being protected is profits & pedophiles. Don't look to words spoken. Look to actions taken. When the concerns over children being trafficked are responded to by pointing out the DOW is over 50,000, it's a confession.

The Bigot Tree, a Poem

Ramadon Mubarak!

When we work with neurodivergent* learners, we must look at the whole person. Stress is not just in the mind; it is in the body. One key player is cortisol (often called the stress hormone). When cortisol levels stay high, the body stays in a state of alert.

I was raised by the people and community who screamed tyranny under Obama & Biden. I, at one point, even agreed with them and voiced similar views. Yet I have seen something quite interesting. Those same people are VERY selective as to who is worthy of being able to define tyranny.

When someone points out that P3D0$ are excited in another country, and the RNC's response is to scream that someone threatened to unalive the POTUS, do they realize that they just admitted that tRump is just that? 😂 🤣

Nothing sucks more than expecting something awesome and not getting it. Well, probably being stuck in the position of this poor guy sucks more. Poor guy!

Public Service Announcement! A pastry surgeon is a cookie cutter. 🍪🥼🔪 Thank you for attention to this matter. Look, I know things are hard right now. AND, it is resistance to find humor and joy in the face of terror and hate! Love is more powerful than hate, after all. And laughter is part of love.

Dear Carob! I compared you to a 💩halftime show put on by 🧻TP USA & Kiddophile Rock! Yes, I prefer chocolate, but you don't deserve such slander! Please forgive me! 🙏😭

What is propaganda? It's the push to shape what you think and feel. It uses stories, images, & emotion to promote an agenda. So where does disinformation fit in? Disinformation is one of propaganda's key tools. Propaganda is overall strategy. Disinformation is a tactic; the deliberate spread lies.

Have you ever had carab? You know, the chocolate substitute? If you compare carob to even meh chocolate you can tell the difference. Bad Bunny gave us AMAZING, decadent chocolate. What did TP USA give us? Carob.

I You just can't substitute it. And I get it. Some people have a chocolate allergy! If it's your only option I guess it's better than nothing. But if you have a choice, why settle for anything less? Carob is just carob. I don't consider it a substitute. You can't substitute what Bad Bunny did.

Should Not Feel Angry, a poem

I'm sorry...

I love teaching! I love puns! I love behavior science! This video is, interestingly, connecting all of these. Now, I didn't put any puns in this video; however, puns and this video share the power of connection. I connect ideas that are seemingly abstract to REAL WORLD things.

If you need others to be hurt, suppressed &/or removed from your sight to feel to feel happy then you are the cornerstone of the problem. Supremism requires people to exist.

It was illegal to help a runaway slave. It was illegal to help Jews, Romani, and more. It was illegal to sit at the front of the bus. Do with that what you will.

Civil rights = inalienable rights. Saying that anyone getting the right to be treated fairl under the law means you are admitting that you want those people to be treated as less equal. George Orwell's Animal Farm comes to mind here.

Alert: ICE is drawing weapons on legal observers in Minneapolis.

Don't let them pretend that they are administering justice! This persistent violation of fundamental rights is not justice. It is injustice! Justice has been obstructed by the Trump administration, MAGA, & the Nat-Cs* is the real problem! The human traffickers are STILL not being held accountable!

IntegrityIndex.us. Because attention to the Access Maintained behaviors of our ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES matters! Functions of behavior are important to understand in Context!

My pattern recognition skills as an AuDHD historian & behaviorist is in high alert! This is pretty clear. They are trying so hard to wag the dog the way they want the dog to be waged! They are trying soooooo hard to manipulate us and play us, but they never anticipated this level of resistance!

A shout out to two new fans! Seriously! A special thank you to John & Secudus for your engagement on Facebook! You may not get an A for being on topic but I think you deserve an A for your effort regardless. You definitely get an A+ for your engagement! A HUGE thank you!

For those who imagine that disabled people's rights are NOT being threatened... Pretending that there are no issues doesn't change that there are issues. This attack on Section 504 is based in the same dehumanization that is the basis for the current actions the Trump administration.

A little data collection from yesterday.

Last post before I go dark for the general strike! If you are watching this on the 30th, get offline, y'all! See you on the 31st! Fuck 🧊! No Kings! No Pedos! No Exceptions!

Behavior Techs & Supervisors! You can participate in the general strike without sacrificing ethical practice! 1) Don't Spend Money on the 30th! Shop locally owned & operated if possible. 2) Don't use social media or services that advertise to starve the system.

Ethical Participation in the 1/30 General Strike for Behavior Analysts Feel free to use this script and don't worry about crediting me. Also, share this please:

Being a Behavior Analyst is NOT political neutral.

Being a Behavior Analyst is NOT political neutral.

When is it appropriate to speak up as a professional? Because it seems to me like when it is "appropriate", when it's "professional", and when it's "ethical" is defined by those who would rather be comfortable than ethical.

Now is the time to stand up for human rights! NOW! Not tomorrow. Not next week. Whether in your professional role or in your role as a community member, it is time we stand together and be heard! Human rights are NOT optional. They are fundamental to our society and our science!

ABAI violating their own position statement by featuring JRC, the ONLY organization that uses CESS in the world, as a featured employer? Hey, if you aren't boycotting ABAI yet, why not?

Rigidity is a non-responsiveness to stimuli in the environment. While there are some values we should hold rigidly such as protecting the welfare of our clients and defending the rights for all, there are some we should hold less tightly to lest we harm ourselves and others. Happy New Year. -BB

You know the saying, "Rules are meant to be broken?" My version of that is "Rules that don't match the needs of the people within the environment and/or that are used to coerce and control instead of protect from real harms are meant to be broken."

Lovaasian & Neo-Lovaasian ABA is conversion therapy for autistics. Any "therapy" that strives to force a person to appear or present in a "acceptable way" while suppressing their natural characteristics is conversion therapy.

The presence of counter control should be an indicator of coercion & environmental rigidity. Instead, it's used to justify coercion & environmental rigidity. Read that again.

I'm beginning to realize that people who complain about accommodations for disabled populations are perceiving accommodation as conveniences instead of as vital supports needed to be able to access the environment.

A researcher found a species of ants that had toes when they were small but had none when they were larger. Other than this they weren't all that interesting. She wrote a single note on the species in her journal. It was, "lack toes in taller ant." If you are going to CoABA 2025, I hope to see you!

Being half deaf is wild! I went to the library looking for the book the Rise & Fall of the Third Reich. I walked up to a librarian and noticed he had a really big Young Republicans pin on his chest. Odd choice for work, but ok. I asked, "Where can I find books on the Rise of Nazi Germany?"

Updated Definition of Insanity: Insanity = Rigid adherence to rules (spoken or unspoken) in the face of changing conditions, new information, etc.

Praise matters! Don't be a "Good Job Robot"! Instead, try labeling the behavior you saw with enthusiasm! Example: "Match! You matched it! Yay!" It's more realistic and it also models relational connects & builds language skills!

Protip: the appropriate response to "you are hurting me" is never to ignore or justify one's behavior. Even IF there was no intent to harm, the response means you are now choosing to ignore that harm & continue which means you now have chosen harm.

I am not anti-medication or pro-medication. I am pro-get-the-supports-you-need-to-succeed. If that means medication, great! If that means no medication, great! It's about addressing your needs.

If you want to support an artist, stand up against tyranny, and celebrate Pride all at once, please consider buying (or sharing) this design! www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1720...

Ignorance is bliss. Especially when the drug of misplaced rage is used to redirect that ignorance towards harm.
