We can live longer on affection, safety, comfort and belonging than we can on food alone.

The truth is that we need ourselves and each other to be whole.

First impressions can be distortions 🩻, fantasies 🚀, fairytales 🧚🏽, illusions. And yet, according to the science, we often determine if we can work with someone within the first 2 minutes of meeting them.

Yeah if I'd waited another day on getting help it likely would've been too late, as it is, I'm very weak & pt should be interesting on Thursday.😬
So naturally as my spouse is quickly finishing his healing from chemical burns, basically able to now change his only remaining bandage without my help, I get a bad bought of cellulitis that I need his help in bandaging up, because it's in a spot I can't see without a mirror.🥴

The war in iraq wasn’t about my freedom. It was about claiming the oil fields.

The war in Afghanistan wasn’t about my freedom. It was about use of an airstrip to fight Russia.

The wars in Syria, Libya, and Yemen weren’t about my freedom. They were about Russia, slavery, and genocide.

I would rather ensure that my elderly and disabled clients get a livable monthly income than continue to protect billionaires from paying their fair share in taxes.

Got a nice t-shirt to wear out, starting tomorrow. I'll get my spouse to take a picture of me in it, possibly for a profile pic here. (*Hint: From the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free.)

Yes to all of this - especially the striking a match part and the UBI.

My daughter was evaluated by school psych in San Diego and began receiving SPED services immediately. She has received SPED services in Oregon since we moved back.

Can anyone tell me why she needs ANOTHER psych eval from a completely unrelated 3rd party in order to receive disability services?

Below still holds but today I also got 55lbs of seed potatoes I ordered last month in the mail, so over the next 2 weeks, I'll be planting them, weeding everything, doing some home repairs & continuing to clean the animal pen.
In about another 2 weeks the first batch of seed potatoes I've planted should be ready to harvest & another 2-3 weeks after that, the first batch of garlic likewise should be ready for harvest. Meanwhile I've a steady supply of walking onions & eggs to cook & eat.

Alright, 6th & final variety of seed garlic to be ordered this month has now occured, last month I ordered 5 other varieties & bought a 6th in person, so with the 2 planted last year, that should have me planting a total of 14 varieties this coming fall....Even as one or 2 I'm going to mostly wait>>

So, re: alt text, do it, don't do it, get somebody else to do it, but for the love of fluffy little kittens, please stop writing thinkpieces about how it's not that good a thing to do anyway. It really helps, I promise.

Still not sure if I'm really doing anything but wasting huge amounts of time, energy & sizable money's on gas for my car, in these efforts of PT & OT, especially OT- in terms of my hands- as exercise after exercise seems to hold no practical purpose whatsoever. My arms & wrists were never weak>>

Continuing to detail my garlic planting, mainly now seeing that, at least for the next year or 2, the easiest route is to use the first 1.5-2 feet- across both sides of my front yard, to plant all the garlic, even as, for easier marking of the different varieties I might add indeterminate potatoes>>

Generic descriptions don't convey the information or context sighted users get from the image. Examples like "election results," "group of people," "screenshot from Google," or "city skyline" may be technically be true, but they don't provide information and context.

Continuing to almost go back & forth on when to order what garlic varieties....some of them I'm going to push off until September/October/November, especially as 1 or 2 I don't see "urgency" in even doing so January -March & others I'm going to be sticking to ordering this summer. #Gardening

I am having a whole lesson in electricity and stuff and it is great.

Honestly physics baffles me (which might make sense with being dyspraxic maybe but then again maybe not) so I appreciate being taught like I'm 9 or so.
I think I can ELI5 how a GFCI works with words, but we'll see how it goes.

There's two pieces of background information that will make it make sense: why an electric circuit is called a circuit, and what grounding means and what it's for, and I'll explain both of those first.

Okay so if you want to understand a thing about electricity and safety in your home (which you probably have at least one GFCI outlet if your home isn't that old) this is the end of a thread where I was taught about these things.

And I think it was an effective lesson so I'm sharing it.
Yes! (you can't see but I definitely just punched the air in triumph).

Okay so I might understand this a bit now: a GFCI helps in wet situations because if water gets where it shouldn't electrons will be lost into the water which is conductive and won't go back through the circuit.

I still do not understand some people's actual desire to cause pain and discomfort in others.

And I have good evidence this is not a universal Autistic trait so.
