Defending the oppressor while identifying as a victim and demanding change is endemic among liberals.

Idk I'm not a programmer. I have no idea how they do the magic. I just got the regular ones that respect the laws of gravity to an embarrassing degree.

Everything is so fucked I'm breaking out the shortening. I've never made yeast rolls before but why not? What could I do? Fail? Awesome. My cooking has always sucked so why not?

(My cooking is fine lol)

Honest to God, if that’s our legacy, I’d be incredibly happy.

There’s good football with watching and talking about everywhere, at all levels. It’s not just 40 teams, it’s 400, all with great players, stories, and passionate fanbases.

But, that means "all football is good football" is a mainstream idea

There's more good people out there than evil and this is one of the suckass ways we are reminded of that. :(

The Minecraft show is top notch but the snake formation and spelling out Ohio with MULTIPLE TIGHT PASSTHROUGHS and the flair at the end just sent me over the top. I am nearly in tears. I miss marching band. I miss band! I need my flute fixed! I NEED to play again!

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

It's the boob-jiggle animations that hypnotize them into suspending their disbelief.

Is it forgetting or neglecting or does it even matter at this point?

I imagine writing for an audience who live like aliens compared to the general populace ends up making the author look crazy to literally everyone.

Always a work in progress. I appreciate you bringing this roblox stuff back up because it gets too easy as a parent to gloss over big issues in the Electronic Babysitter.

I am loud and cringe. I'm short and weird and I take up way more space than I should and I will continue to do so because I don't hog that space for myself. My wings are wide and everyone who needs the shelter can come in. I probably have fidget toys and snacks.

🏳️‍🌈 Mother Of Exiles 🏳️‍⚧️ @dragynwing.bsky.social · 3h

The only thing that lets me go out with them the way I do is that I am not embarrassed. I mean, I am but I have learned to shovel that emotion into a bin to deal with later and I do. My job is to take up the space my kids need and as I do it, I get better at it and it brings others in.

norms like respecting people's personal space. That's a big ask for a 5-year-old autistic child who just wants to PLAY!

A mom today commented that she doesn't know how I handle both of my ND kids out and about at the same time and I admitted I gladly sacrificed part of my sanity for the privilege.

🏳️‍🌈 Mother Of Exiles 🏳️‍⚧️ @dragynwing.bsky.social · 3h

If I just used the autism excuse and disciplined my kid later or even right there, I'm teaching society that the problem is my child's behavior and that there's nothing else that needs to change.

My kid isn't malicious. He deserves feedback that takes that into account while reinforcing societal

🏳️‍🌈 Mother Of Exiles 🏳️‍⚧️ @dragynwing.bsky.social · 3h

to my kid. I then told her that she was older, bigger and that he was autistic and I think that's the part that really upset her. Guilt isn't my goal, tho. I asked her what she could have done instead and we both agreed that walking away is better when it's an option.

Still, she gets to feel safe!

My youngest was harassing a girl 2 years older than him but what I saw when I noticed the conflict was her about to kick him over with her foot. I came down and stopped her right away. She told me about my 5-year-old throwing wood at her. I told her she has the right to feel safe and I would speak

🏳️‍🌈 Mother Of Exiles 🏳️‍⚧️ @dragynwing.bsky.social · 3h

Harm reduction for my autistic child comes in teaching him how to be safe with his body and how to have a safe body with others. If my autistic child hits another kid, there's going to be a natural consequence no matter what i do. Excuses won't turn back time but context can alter the future.

If you're a kid, you rely on your parents for Step 1.

If you're in a relationship with someone who isn't ND, you often rely on them for Step 1.

If you're an adult living in a world that cares more about your symptoms than your holistic well-being, only you can do Step 1.

🏳️‍🌈 Mother Of Exiles 🏳️‍⚧️ @dragynwing.bsky.social · 3h

Being ND isn't an excuse for bad behavior. It's context.

If you or someone you love has a diagnosis or just is ND, it is a rough world to live in. That's no excuse to cause harm. Especially when it's ND on ND abuse. Boy, is that just a fun game of Who's The Bigger Victim?

Step 1 is harm reduction.

What's cool is that he will show me his friend list, point out who he knows and how and asks me to delete everyone else. We keep voice chat off and he understands why. So he can play as safely as possible until new alternatives entice him away.

Building trust in me and not fear of his environment.
