If anyone is looking for reading to unwhiten or de-medicalize their understanding of neurodiversity/autism, this interview between Audre Lorde and Adrienne Rich was hugely influential to me. I keep going back to revisit it.

Pages 81-88 has the neurodiversity part

The pdf is a scanned copy of the book, and doesn't play nice with screen-readers :(

I spent one day in Jail and it was absolutely horrific and now you’re saying if I didn’t happen to be born here I could’ve been kept there INDEFINITELY

to be clear detainment isn’t some Orange Is The New Black communal life shit

Detainment is being kept in a cell possibly alone with no free access to water or toilet paper or any kind of stimulus and they MIGHT feed you so.

Undocumented immigrant detainment centers are concentration camps

Australia is having a Bird of the Year poll and NZ, not content with making their politicians invalid and trying to adopt their refugees, is now striving to elect the Ibis as their new Bird Ruler.

Please only answer if you joined Mastodon within the last 7 days. What would have made the instance list on joinmastodon.org more useful for you?

For me, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality is the canon now. The original books have too many seams. Okay, telling people to read a fanfic is a hard sell because of the fanfic stigma, plus the first 10 or so chapters have a different style to the rest of the book, after 3 or so years I've given up personally recommending it to anyone and expecting results

Also the fact that this one fanfic is longer than the 7 original books

Wow I have never seen this before: we discovered an owlet in the tomato tonight! I hope this little thing is ok

Before you even think about bashing FF8 realize that it represents the pinnacle of weapons technology for the entire series
