Thing go BOOM!
So Starship Ship 36 just detonated *before* the static fire test - fueled and waiting for the test. Looks like the top tank lets go and sets off the whole stack. It would be bad enough if it let go during the static fire test, but it just blew up. And it's cooking off the fuel tanks on the pad.

When it comes to Mr. Jeffries, one potential word stands out, especially if the rumor about his disdainful attitude towards his peers traveling to El Salvador is true:

“Quisling.”

Sharing for all of you to read.
Today, I want to talk about "Those rude autistic researchers who dare to question how research is done".
Typical comments paraphrased as:
"I dread looking on social media, in case one of the autistic research crowd has critiqued our work in public".
It's a strange thing, isn't it/

Mild/Moderate/Severe is nonsense.
We are not a monolith applies in all directions.
This is not a 2D linear spectrum.
Neurodiversity is a 4D continuum, for all of us.
Today's reminder: the autistic spectrum means each person has their own specific version of autism, shaped by their internal and external environment and life experience, expressed in a unique way.
It's all of this, not just one part. Autism can't be a linear scale going from less to more autistic.

Being clinically diagnosed autistic, I have to contend with sensory hypersensitivities, anxiety, dyspraxia, and social awkwardness.

Never has my autism been the reason for me to give the salute of the NSDAP.
Who hasn’t been innocently hanging out at the inauguration of a man dubbed by people in his own party as the next Hitler and accidentally performed a Nazi salute that could only be more blatant if it was accompanied by a tiny finger moustache?

There’s times I wish the concepts from the movie, “Brainstorm,” was a reality, so these researchers could understand EXACTLY how autism affects us.

They would freak out in a minute over what goes on in our heads, and further research would be reoriented to actually include our input.

This one chose climate change and fascism. They just chose it at a slower pace.

Please pay attention to this, especially if you have children. Had I known growing up my brain and body worked differently from those considered my peers, things would have been considerably easier. Granted, I still would have struggled, but probably not as much as I had to.
Autistic children are at a 28x higher likelihood of death by suicide as compared to non-Autistic children.

That risk is higher when Autistic kids are not identified.

When you know a risk you lower a risk

& now you know, too. 🫶🏻

My ASD diagnosis was one of the most beneficial things to occur to me in my lifetime. However, I still face a lot of harassment and discrimination because of my neurotype. I’m now comfortable with my own brain, but it’s going to be looooooooong after I’m off this planet before things change for us.

On December 20, 2024, @faetooth.bsky.social performed their final show of 2024 at the Echo in Los Angeles and played new material from their upcoming album.

Their first long player was super heavy. Based on what I’ve heard of the new songs, the next album will be even heavier.

@propublica.org needs to do a better job of their reporting. They CLAIM they want to hear from us, but when autistics complained about the article in question and requested retraction or edits, our missives were ignored.
As a historian of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA therapy), Anne Borden King knows @propublica.org missed the real story about insurance and autism therapy. The question is, how could they get it so wrong? At TPGA.
