Aspie Supremacists, who believe their brand of autism makes them superior to both neurotypicals and other autistics, have attracted praise from autism experts, who have branded their worldview “adorable”.

Ha, so clearly the Universe saw coping better this week, and decided I needed to be tested again. And now I can't find my day planner anywhere.

When do I change my Estradot? When is the next planet going direct or retrograde? Any number of reminders... Not in my phone, on paper, like a weirdo.

Repeating "there are bigger problems to worry about and people more worthy of your disdain" through a bullhorn at anyone still being this petty with everything else going on.
unfollowing people who do too many "haha blahaj transbian" jokes. we get it they're cringe. why are you so obsessed with this. maybe unpack that. they are literally just young women having fun with their friends, there are bigger problems to worry about and people more worthy of your disdain.

I have no patience for people who would dim the harmless joy of others, especially their trans siblings.

Leave the blahaj girls alone, y'all.

Super grateful for the people still doing book reviews -- often unpaid -- at small venues, just for the purpose of being good literary citizens. With the gutting of every major book review outlet, we need these folks more than ever.

It has no "understanding" as we would recognise the term. It doesn't build narrative at all, based on felt sense or affect. Haskell really is not engaging in philosophy. This is a marketing spiel.

Philoidios rather than philosophy.
Researchers working with the A.I. system Claude have come to understand that the model’s selfhood, like our own, is a matter of both neurons and narratives. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/kEX1vV

Do any of my techy friends want to tell me if this crew is any good?

They *appear* to provide all the services our small society might want.

Ōtautahi if you’re looking for a lovely evening out this week, check out this season’s Open Air Summer Shakespeare production of The Merry Wives of Windsor at Mona Vale.
Bring a blanket or chairs and some dinner (food trucks also on site) and have a laugh. We really enjoyed it!

It's totally weird that it's people like David and Musical Chairs I see highlighting that the inflation issue was global, not a result of Grant Robertson making money printer go brrrrr. NZ opposition parties seem to find it difficult to go "look, same for EVERYONE".
It certainly doesn't sound like the "suddenly new covid enquiry" setup to provide a report to the government a few weeks out from the election has a lot of space for nuanced analysis of the "while lessons can be learned we need to keep what was happening elsewhere in mind" variety.

Exposé: There are so many fake and dangerous "treatments" for autism, and too often they are practiced in parent misinformation echo chambers where people get told that severe symptoms like a child vomiting just means the product is working. From @bigiftruetvo.bsky.social:

A. Nonsense. There are doubtless billions of people whose names are not in the epstein files and large numbers of those could invent cool things, write cool books, or be competent senators.

B. Don't threaten me with a good time, tho.
“If all the names in the Epstein files are released then our entire system will collapse.”

Works for me.

What worries me a lot about society currently is that I personally feel that we have lost the ability to be human around each other, and all I do is try to restore that balance.

All of us are just trying to navigate through the mess of life and make it out alive. We should acknowledge that more.

One of the things I often hear in feedback from assessments is that people "feel seen" and for a long time I have been trying work out what makes people feel invisible.

I do not feel that I am exceptional at this - but I listen, I am non-judgemental, I acknowledge their emotions.

As much as I dislike capitalism and consumerism, my degree in media studies compels me to watch and applaud commercials that are well done.

Well shot, unique, memorable---if it stays with you, and entertains you, then it's done its job.

It's started.

10 days of all night roadworks outside our house.

They are resurfacing Barrington Street in Ōtautahi. One way traffic northbound only between Studholme and Milton Streets.

Thank goodness I'm off to Wellington for three days (son's final presentation of his Masters in Architecure).

We need to talk more about perimenopause/menopause. We are left to figure it out on our own so often. Let’s help each other out ❤️
Actually, let’s talk about perimenopause/menopause.

I know a lot of my pals/followers are younger than me here so feel free to ignore.

My perimenopause went undiagnosed for about five years as medical practitioners mostly don’t give a shit about it.

Literally the second my period stops I turn into a feral goblin that wants to hump everyone. Actually sometimes mid period.

While this absolutely sucks, we are going to see a lot more places implementing universal global age verification over this next year, because the number of states and countries legally requiring it has gotten to the point no one can keep up anymore.

Every single Black parent who has ever had to give their child The Talk, and had to explain to their children what that n-word their kids in school (or their teacher) used meant.

Y'all are on easy mode if you think explaining gay is hard.
always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay
