Also today, may I express deep concern about the ADOS-2 diagnostic test?
Examining an autistic child, research teams mark 'aggression' if the children "Display an example of mild disruption"
"Display anger"
"Display negative behaviour"
Use a "deliberately loud voice"
No, I am not joking/

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

“The networks are still compromised, and booting the hackers out could involve physically replacing ‘literally thousands and thousands and thousands of pieces of equipment across the country,’ specifically outdated routers and switches…”
The Chinese government espionage campaign that has deeply penetrated more than a dozen U.S. telecommunications companies is the “worst telecom hack in our nation’s history — by far,” a senior U.S. senator told The Washington Post in an interview this week.

Nothing like the evaluators for getting support services downplaying Covid risk, and saying even if approved for support services I won’t likely find any willing to wear an N95 in my home. They just likely won’t be willing to. Just say you want us to die already and be honest about it.

actual tip for people new to bsky: far more than the other site Alt Text here is very widely used and encouraged on picture and gifs. it's a strong enough norm that many people literally won't quote/like/reply to an image post without it. there's an option you can set that will remind you to add it♥️
some reasons using Alt Text every time makes this site better for everyone (do not think "I don't have many followers, odds seem low any are visually impaired")
-respects mute words
-makes image post searchable
-lets people in on reference they missed
-any post could get shared beyond your followers
