A$ shut down in Canada partly after outrage over obtaining 12K DNA samples of children from hospitals, to isolate the Autism gene. They may have removed the word “cure” from their mission statement in 2016, but the actions continue to reflect an org set on eradicating ASD and silencing us.

Autism speaks shut down in Canada in January 2025. Thank God.

Panel 1: Text says "My dad was an orc". It's a green orc wearing a dress shirt with a purple tie and glasses, holding a cup of coffee. The cup is made of stone and has an ragged axe blade on it. He also has a pencil in his pocket protector, and the pencil is also a tiny axe.

Panel 2: Text says "My mom was a witch". It's a woman with green skin and one yellow eye, glowing and emanating magic, gleaming from beneath her big purple witch had, which has small wood constructions hanging off of it and two pins on it: one of a mushroom and one of the Newgrounds angry face. He's wearing jeans and a Costco tank top, with a reddish purple vest over it, and is holding a broom and a tote bag with a bag of chips visible within it.

Panel 3: Text says "You'd think I'd be some kind of magical berserker". We are looking overhead at a muscular green man looking up at us, with his arms splayed out in a powerful stance, and his left arm holding an axe. He has a dark purple had and shoulder-cape, and smiles with malice. Text continues, saying "but actually I ended up with my MOM'S strength and my DAD'S magic attunement."

Panel 4: A normal looking with green skin, messy purple hair, big round glasses, and a pointy nose, wearing a t-shirt with the night sky in a square in the center, says "so, basically, I'm green."

I think businesses asking people to rate every single experience has furthered this damage. We shouldn't have this many opinions about this many things, and we certainly shouldn't expect other busy people to care if we do.

few ideas have damaged the average psyche more than ‘the customer is always right.’ it should be a little bit humiliating, being a customer. you should walk into any service transaction knowing that the other person, and not you, is in control over whether you get your treats

Nothing radicalized me about housing as much as reading what NIMBYs were willing to say out loud with no shame.

Is it sometimes about wildlife preservation? Sure? And in CA a lot of that is already accounted for. But most of the time it’s about keeping out “undesirables”.

Sam @samd.bsky.social · 1d

housing politics is cool because every fight is like “mixed income housing vs. a bunch of the dumbest unhinged rich NIMBYs who lose their mind at the sight of midsized apartment buildings”

If you guessed "someone's trying to build a new apartment building," you'd be correct!

a picture of 80s era Madonna, the greatest Italian-American. she is lounging across a white table in front of a kind of bamboo / rattan backdrop. the look is indescribable but I’ll try. dark jeans, a black mini skirt with some insane lime green pattern, a pink studded belt. then a black tank top over a hot pink tank top. about one million bracelets on each wrist going halfway up her forearm. big dangly earrings. she has a red scarf tied in her hair with a bow on top and huge 80s sideswept bangs. her lipstick and eyeshadow are both like gray-pink??? its a wild look no one else could pull off

Thank glob we're melting the planet so a dude named Rich can strike out with women.

Also imagine not being able to come up with "Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you" on your own.

C. Buckthorn @cbuckthorn.bsky.social · 3d

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

Someone in my mentions is upset because these people haven’t suffered the worst at ICE’s hands and therefore they shouldn’t be praised for being out on the streets?

Yeah, no. To push back on these people we need everyone — especially those with relative privilege — to get up and get involved.

Y'all won't take advice from people with uteruses about abortion or Black people about racism or poor people about ways to address poverty or autistic people about autism. You let white wealthy neurotypical men figure it out.
