In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

His reply was a doozy.

This is the best explainer on what Lovecraft’s elder gods actually do to your mind—they don’t instantly drive you insane, they force you to comprehend the futility of human society.

He uses covid lockdown as an example. It’s brilliant.

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

David Byrne talks about what being autistic means to him, including completely missing body language cues during conversations. He also doesn't quite grasp the non-ableist view of the autism spectrum, but TBH neither do most folks. @peoplemag.bsky.social:

I didn't know that Ivar "torture the queer and autism out of them" Lovaas, the monster who invented conversion "therapy"/ABA, was also a literal Nazi, but this is the least surprising fact ever.
"Lovaas was a member of the NS Youth League, patterned after the Hitler Youth and named after the Norwegian Hirden paramilitary organization... Both he and his father are listed in Norway's "National Treason" files documenting Nazi collaboration."

He also said the Nazis inspired him to behaviorism.

Explain to me why “conversion therapy” is banned in 28 countries and ABA is not, when they have the same creator (O. Ivar Lovaas) and utilize similar if not identical principles, techniques, and goals (forced assimilation).
Autism $peaks is the largest and most popular Autism organization (among allistics), who continues to be 100% in support of ABA. They have lobbyists who push ABA as the “gold standard Autism treatment.” It utilizes same practices as “conversion therapy,” which is currently banned in 28 countries.
ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) is the “gold standard” of “treatment” for Autism, and was created by the person as “Conversion therapy” (see Lovaas) with similar techniques and goals. It’s torture that continues to have widespread support and acceptance.
