"professionally neurodivergent" influencers are one of the many banes of my existence.
You're not actually interested in helping anyone. They're just interested in creating a following. It's another facet of parasocial marketing. And they always have something to sell. ALWAYS

You need to rebuild trust in scientists. Because the public has a lot of really good reasons not to trust them.
The entire field looks down upon science communicators. And rewards the kind of asshole cutthroat publish or perish behavior this does not loan itself towards informing the public

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

It's just wild to act like "there are social rules that you will not be told about and you absolutely MUST follow them or someone will act like you put sugar in their gas tank" is unique to neurotypical people. And if you think that way, you might not notice you're doing it!

This is around when I gave up on social media as a cause for social change.
Two years and two days ago, a woman delivered some chili to her new neighbors. Everyone was very happy and normal and there were no lasting effects.

I have ADHD and a cold spot on my foot that will not go away without direct skin contact with a heating pad set to max. Can't be a heated fan. That actually makes it colder. Needs to be direct skin contact with a heating pad.

If you’ve historically been a “vote blue no matter who” type, it’d be cool if you could use this moment to understand why vilifying leftists who actually do think it matters is basically a psyop you accidentally fell for. This is why people warn you about guys like Newsom.

If last week I had made the suggestion that there was a blacklist of actors who did not Support Israel, you would think I was being anti-Semitic.
Yet here we are.
It's like they saw every anti-semitic canard and decided to make them true...

Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows.
Does this sound familiar?
Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."

It sure looks like the likes of Javier Bardem, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Mark Ruffalo won’t be making movies for Paramount in the foreseeable future.

They did this to the author @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social once when he was younger. Stopped him at the border and wouldn't let him in because he didn't have enough money.
Years upon years later when he had already become probably a millionaire, they still stop him at the border for an interview

So— update. We arrived at the Canadian border and were promptly rejected for “showing up too early.”
They also indicated we hadn’t saved enough money but declined to say how much we needed.
And even if I came back in December to get my visa, Clover could only stay for 6 months.

FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia.

To answer your question, yes, they will come for us all if needed. Yes, they will kill us all. Everyone who opposes them will be considered "antifa".

Declaring Palestine Action a terrorist group and declaring "antifa" a terrorist group... It's all connected to how any and all Palestinians (and their supporters) are immediately labeled Hamas, and in many cases that seems to justify their killing. Please make the connection.

Don't fall for conspiracy thinking. The government doesn't need to engage in vast conspiracy theories to arrest leftists. They will just arrest them and find justification later.

My father got angry with me when I tried to explain groypers to him. Refused to even entertain the notion that the mainstream media would either have no one on staff to explain internet culture, or would not bother to get a consultant who does.

I think they want to reduce the population by a couple of dozen million. Probably in cities.
Of course all the rich folks will travel abroad to get their vaccines and treatments. And they will have private sources for all of their medicine and food. All tested independently.

Every complain I have seen about #AnimeNYC can be answered with a question: "First time, huh?"
It is obvious these people have never been to an anime con before.
"why does it smell? Why is it so crowded? Why is there hentai? Why are the cosplayers half naked? Why is everything so expensive"
