Miffy, autistic space ace- they/them white
Idk like, I wonder how many bad inner-community discourses are an issue of competing needs between folks?
Like, some autistic people need quiet places.
some autistic people need to stim loudly and have no volume control.
both those groups are part of the same community but may need different spaces, at the same time it would be bad for them to be completely shut off from one another?
Idk just musing here :-p
Wow! Check out this incredibly preserved fossil of a nodosaur, a kind of ankylosaur bearing long spikes on its shoulders.
Thanks to being swiftly buried in seafloor silt & mud, skin & minute, beautiful surface details of the dinosaur, rather than just the bones, were preserved. Traces of mineralised pigments even suggest reddish pigmentation of the skin.

Folks, I'd really appreciate if ppl could stop boosting this post-https://octodon.social/@Scavenger/1909492
I'm following enough people and like, there's only so many folks I can actually follow at once before I don't have enough spoons to read through my home timeline :-0
Thanks
I kinda feel there needs to be more compassion for #actuallyautistic people in SJ spaces?
like, just realizing that folks not getting a rhetorical question post, a sarcastic post, or just saying the wrong thing might be an honest mistake by a ND person?
:-o
ok, I'm good for follows now I think, thanks for the recommendations! :->
*awkwardly follows and unfollows people by mistake because I follow from the wrong account or get mixed up cuz low spoons*
It is also wise to never assume the person you are dealing with is a non-autistic, abled person. They might not be what you expect them to be and their words and behaviour might not mean what you are used to.
There is, for example, a difference between privileged mansplaining and *splaining in general and an autistic person communicating via "infodumping" (that's what some of us call it). We don't assume you don't know what we are talking about, but by sharing all we know about a topic that fascinates us, we make sure we understand each other right and we try to connect with you.
@Scavenger destroy all capitalism imo

Reminder : I need donations more than ever. My bank account is near red, and I still have to pay 56$ per month for the server, and something like 20$ for the domain name .house the next month. Almost 20$ are covered (and one sent me 0.09BTC last month, that was very kind), but I'm just saying, any contribution is welcome (and don't forget you can claim an account at https://cloud.targaryen.house/, so you can also decentralise your data!).
I can pay without donations, but that'd be very helpful.
please remember to follow your dreams https://mastodon.social/media/3Rv3ulC_9-ioU64hYVk
....someone with no posts just randomly liked my post and followed me-
I'm guessing a bot unfortunately :-I
although, I am glad the text and display on the page for privacy badger is big, more paragraphing would really help honestly-
it kinda smooshes together for me :-p
a link to the slideshow would be nice for those of us who cant do long paragraphs?
it would really help if a lot of privacy and tech activism stuff was more well explained?
like EFF explains how privacy badger works in a way someone with no background in tech can understand using a slideshow like presentation.
like having ADHD/autism I got what the program was and how it worked straight away, and its really easy to operate without a tech background?
kinda wish this was a more common thing?
This is a photo of a crashed kiosk advertising the menu and offers at a popular Norwegian pizza restaurant chain. It shows that the kiosk was running facial recognition and basic sentiment analysis on the people looking at it.
Based on the number of people who sent me this on Twitter, it’s clear that people care and are unhappy with corporate surveillance.
The worst bit? Compared to what Google and Facebook do daily and at scale, this is a toy.
i think it's important to note that not only are people vastly nuerodiverse in thinking and functioning, but even the so-called baseline of how people we call "neurotypical" function is so widely widely disregarded by the capitalistic kyriarchy we live in .
