"'Play-based ABA' is often more insidious than old-school discrete trial training bc it’s harder to recognize as control. A table full of flashcards makes power visible. But when the same conditioning is wrapped in toys and smiles, the coercion hides behind warmth."

I've been watching some Indie animation on YouTube (I know, right), and I have three shows that are (mostly) made by a single artist, and are mostly #obscure. New time I do this, I'm'ma do this for animation on Newgrounds, as it's a much better platform for creatives.

Lets be clear, intersex is a spectrum of any mix of sex characteristics that isn't 100% male or female—which may involve no genitals at all. Using intersex is like saying "all vehicles are flying cars". Dualsex is fictional, intersex is real. intersex.wiki/wiki/Interse... fanlore.org/wiki/Dualsex

It is, in essence, the exact same as the one with MasterCard / Visa.
And just like with the payment processors, the best thing for us to do is to become tremendous pains in the ass.

Stop trying to redeem WHITENESS.
You aren’t a “white communist”. You are just a communist.
You aren’t a “white anarchist”. You are just an anarchist.
You aren’t a “white socialist”. You are just a socialist.
Whiteness is a sociological phenomena that isn’t based in bioscience at all.

2) No "dangerous" kink
3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational"
So what can we DO about it?

To all you CEOs, you KNOW when people start storming the streets saying "I want CEOs to know their job isn’t safe.", you'd be screaming to the hill tops about it. If we can't apply the same layoffs to you, that's just slavery — just replaced the whips with the risk of being fired and evicted.
Repeated warnings of AI-driven layoffs is fueling anxiety among workers, who report feeling pressured to accept pay cuts or worse conditions to keep their jobs (Anne Lutz Fernandez/Nobody Wants This)

🧵 I've been listen to #mento — Jamaican Village music / Jazz music (sort of) — and I've been loving the music by Chin’s Calypso Sextet. If any of you have heard the Jamaican song "Soldering" by Stanley Beckford, you'll roughly know the chorus to Chin's song "Give Her Love", because it's based on it.

How [not] to talk about autistic people: "Learning to recognize the features of autism instead of focusing on ‘deficits’ is crucial. No person deserves to be viewed as a collection of symptoms, yet that is the inevitable outcome of a deficit-based approach."

Over the past day, Israeli airstrikes killed over 404 Palestinians and wounded 560, targeting residential areas and reportedly wiping out entire families. It is inarguable. The ceasefire is dead.
Israel is bombing Gaza again. Here's what doctors are seeing on the ground.
"I think ceasefire is a very loose term,” said one physician in Gaza. “I wouldn’t say we entered Gaza at a time of peace and quiet.”
