This demonstrates how shitty the modeling is that #climate #crazies use to tell us we're all going to die in a few years.

I wonder how many of the victims were republican? Sad but there you have it.

No guns in an #NRA meeting, at a #gop function for a #governor, or damn near anywhere else these #crazies gather.

USA. Another 3rd world country.

@onlymeindc I had a nurse say the same thing to me… that I’m taking too many precautions and it isn’t healthy and I “need to get out more”. I’m immunocompromised 🤦‍♀️. It seems like that phrase is coming from somewhere and getting in some clinicians heads. #crazies

Disclaimer: This reply might sound like a personal attack, or a "well actually", while it might be the later, it really isn't meant to be either of these things. The extrapolations wherein contained are my own perspective and an interpretation of what to me the above mentioned toot (and featured article) imply, I am not accusing anyone of *actually* sharing the opinion that I'm feeling obligated to argue against:

While this is an interesting observation/correlation in regard to capitalism, utilitarism, and the weaponization of certain neurotypes in that context, it is also an heavily psychophobic comment:

There is nothing inherently wrong/bad with psycho/socio -pathy (which like most, if not all, are also both very dubious "Diagnostics" btw)

Not so long ago (or perhaps still to most) being #ActualyAutistic meant (amongst other things) being without empathy, manipulative, calculating, conniving etc.

While the #ActuallyAutistic label is nowadays seen in a more positive light (something that I believe should be read under the same framework aka #Capitalism realized that some neurotypes, while excluded from the workforce could prove particularly productive, and hence are currently in a state of grace -one that only translates into targeted exploitation, not accomodations btw, something that in my opinion will backfire soon enough). While being #ActualyAutistic is currently seen in a somewhat positive light, all other neurodivergent people are left on the sidecurb, and this saddens me deeply.

#ActuallyAutistic experiences are barely distinguishable from that of less acceptable form of #neurodivergence (I say this as someone coming from a family which amongst other things is mainly defined by the fact that those that aren't on the #spectrum are dx'd with some form of psychosis or another, I will not deny that some of these people are highly problematic and abusive, but this not due to their neurotype, if anything more often than not it is due to their inability to recognize it and to internalized Ableism/sanism, in other words while their behavior might be considered as such they were never inherently toxic/bad/evil..

There is nothing wrong with any given neurotype, be it ND or not, nor should these be understood through a moral lens. Moreover, this statement that has been making the round for years, while it might be statistically true, conflates a neurotype with violence, something that is particularly problematic since ND people are by all metric prey to abuse, victims of predatory behavior (be it criminal or not) and very rarely the abuser, worse even it seems a way for neurotypicals to distance themselves from systemic issues that they might be better equiped to fight against, it's a way of passing the buck ("it's not me/us, look at me, I am one of the sane ones, it's them #crazies, they are the reasons we can't have good things, if we just got rid of them" etc.) It's a process that scapegoats a specific class of people while otherizing them, robbing them of their humanity and if history teaches us anything this never ends well.

I have no idea wether you identify as ND or not (and also to repeat the point made in the disclaimer, I am not writing this to "call you out" or attack you for that matter),but this is a trope I have seen all too often, one that I have been guilty of perpetuating myself for a very longtime btw, which is probably why I feel so compelled to address it in this manner.

Crazy cats

Put out their night time food. Mirabella thought she was going back outside though (semi-feral that does come inside) and since it's still raining, I didn't let her out.

In the meantime, one of our older cats suddenly got the zoomies. No idea what ghosts he's chasing, but he was in hot pursuit, including pouncing their paper (packing paper from a package rec'd today) and through a box we've modified to make a house.

We triggered a host of #extremists and anti-abortion folk today by saying we will "work for free".

Apparently volunteering is outside some people's sphere of understanding.

We even managed to suck from a little worm-wood hole a reportedly racist, homophobe that censored us on Wikimedia almost two years ago! They apparently joined Fedi six months after we were censored by them.
