Is there an "express" option where I just pay double for the ticket instead?

"Stay the duck out"

Oh the whole scene was adorable!
A skinny lad with in a sleeveless grey denim jacket and spikey mohawk. A black lipsticked goth in an oversized black hoodie, a backpack with mascots dangling from it.

Both desperately not looking each other in the eye. Her hands in fists, stretching her sleeves

"A meltdown is not [bad] behaviour... It is not trying to communicate and has no function."

This is so important. Ember always doing the good work. I'm aking this to heart.

A meltdown is not a tantrum.
It's a seizure.

Punishing a seizure as bad childish behaviour is monstrously cruel.

What are the "desired results"?
The BCAB who replied has videos conflating meltdowns & tantrums. Asking "WTF - What's The Function?" of a meltdown.

A meltdown is not behavior. It's a neurological event in which neural pathways are cut-off. It is not trying to communicate & has no function.

This reminds me of my favourite overheard punk-teen conversation. It was at an anti-government censorship rally

"Do you like memes?"

"First, just to clarify, if your intent is flirting I want you to know its being well received. Yes I do like memes. My favourites are... "

Finally, a diet to achieve the 'ideal shape'

I know it's not the point, but could we talk about the eldritch abominations in the sky above him?

"And the shape that lead the shambling horde was like unto a man, but shifting, formless. From his shoulders emerged furled standards, and his head was a single unblinking eye, wreathed in spikes."

It has worked so far. People will avoid things that racists think are cool faster than things anti-racists think are uncool. It doesn't have the same kickback of "political correctness gone too far" or "you can't day anything"

It's not about offending someone. It's about you looking like a shitbag

I think this is specifically the WPWW "white pride world wide" gangsign. We can call it a gangsign, that's what it is.

The okay sign is "WP" and the open hand is styled as two Ws

I find getting excited takes the sting out of corecting people

"Moron doesn't just mean fool in the current climate of rising fachism people will suspect you mean moron in its original context of eugnenics, race purity, and ethnic cleansing. Just fyi, I'm autistic so I gotta watch out for it"

A 5-Year Update of Conflicts of Interest in Autism Intervention Research in Applied Behavior Analysis Journals - PubMed Researchers' false, incomplete, or missing disclosures of conflicts of interest (COIs) can introduce bias into research, can erode public trust in research findings, and represent ethical violations of most academic journal policies. A 2020 study discovered that publications in applied behavior anal …

So, the ABA industry got worse on this, not better:
"Ninety-three percent of statements claiming no [potential bias] were false. Conflicts of interest are increasingly pervasive in ABA autism intervention research, and the vast majority remain undisclosed"

Oh you ☺️

Hailey was a beloved trans character played on British soap "Corronation Street" from 1998 to 2014! In 1999 she married Roy Cropper, my fav autistic character, despite it being illegal and again in 2010 when laws changed. They fostered 2 teens and 9.7 million people tuned in for her last episode

Odo is 100% gender fluid

The invention of a new category will allow medical insurance companies to deny care. That is the goal.

Similarly to how the fluid and changing "levels" described in the dsm are considered rigid and immutable classes of autistic people by insurance companies, again to deny care.

My therapist: Preposterously Cute Pixel Art Godzilla isn't real he can't hug you

Preposterously Cute Pixel Art Godzilla:

Photo and Text: Photo: performers in Pokémon costumes. Geodude looks like a very accurate geodue but geodide levitates do the costume has legs covered in white and light grey checkered pattern that is identical to the transparent background of PNG images. Text THEY ACTUALLY PUT TRANSPARENT LEGS ON GEODUDE AT A PARADE IN JAPAN

My understanding is that “Ninja” outfit are not based on historical fact but on kuroko (theatrical stage technicians) who were to be ignored as if invisible during the performance.

Seeing a floating Pokémon having the checkered transparent PNG as a leg covering pattern feels so on point to this.

My constant worry with Ian Fay is every amazing looking bust sculpt is actually sitting on top of a worryingly swole torso and body, wearing a too tiny piece of underwear with er... the main body bulging to escape.

The quality of photos from Artemis II of the moon surface is incredible to witness in real time.

Congrats on the move to Cork! I spent many happy years living there, for bootstrapping a place to live I strongly recommend freecycle.org I got so much stuff there as we were renting unfurnished. Absolute lifesaver

People sometimes have whole flats to empty if they are emigrating

October 1582 was only 21 days long. February is not the shortest month, this one october was.

@pastapilled I suppose what easter is teaching us is that it has to be so over before we're so back
