I worked in or around public health for a long time. You just broke off a piece of my heart, and fired my rage center. That is all too true, and all too ignored. The truth is never told and if it is it is not believed.

Thank you for saying this, I only hope it makes others just as sad and as enraged as it does me.

Stuff like this always makes me feel better, I so often feel alone, then I see things like this and think, I have done that for so long, but there are others.

Sounds to me like he has plenty of power to end the strike, he can see the concrete requirements from the workers. Grant them, in full, strike ends, company safe. Sounds simple Mr. 21 Million plus perks.

Oh I get what you mean but I think the word is culpable LOL

I am kinda old, I got my diagnosis late because when I was in grade school, no one talked about autism, I was just "special" I was passed grade to grade because I would "catch up eventually" I grew up through a lot of change, I saw the LGBTQIA+ community go through something very similar to this. When we were allowed to "come out" and be less scared the community was so tribal. The gay men didn't want the lesbians around and vice versa, no one believed bisexuals existed, and you were only transexual on the weekends to make money. Or that was the thinking then.

Now we, for the most part, see the value of working together, the strength in numbers, we have shed some of the internalized homophobia and found a collective voice to fight against the attacks from the outside and stop perpetuating them internally.

This seems the same tribalism we are seeing in the nurodivergent world right now. There will be a time to come together, and fight the attacks from the outside, a time to raise our voice together and protect our own, but for now, each individual that see this as problematic must begin the cry to end the infighting and strengthen our group and show what we can do collectively.

I am waiting until they can't reset one of the "blue screens of death" in his operating system. Then we get a Mitch statue that holds a platter of dildos at parties.

I am not one to ask for trust from strangers on the Internet so take this as you will. I have seen true triumphs in the adoption/foster system, but much more often it goes very badly. I have seen good families destroyed, and individuals broken, I don't mean to poison that well, I want that system to work, but right now they are so underfunded and understaffed that there is no way for them to be effective, and the religious route is laughable at best, those organizations are charitably described as preditory, I have other words but they don't belong in polite conversation.

Sigh... yes.

Mainly because I found out that people tend to either get extremely offended, sad, or violent when I do that too much so I have people that help me say something that aren't entirely untrue.

I think Lennybird may have worded that in an unfortunate way, but there is a point, the MAGAt crap is designed to exploit mental illness and nurodivergence. The thought process it takes to believe the junk that comes from them is truly magical, and that level of mental gymnastics requires an amount of breakdown of skill or deep religious belief, and while that is not All mental illness I can see where someone on the outside could look into that camp and see only mentally ill people and just put together a very very bad and frankly hurtful phrase.

You are my kind of people 💯

You are right!

Cyndi Lauper, no matter how bad it got for me when I was little, and it got really bad. I could count on her to be "right there waiting, time after time" and to see my "true colors" I know that sounds stupid, but I would get my tape and my walkman, go and hide in the dog house with Tramp, he would sleep next to me, and Cyndi would sing to me and I would sing with her, and it was okay for a few minutes, I was safe. Nothing existed but Cyndi's voice and the warmth of Tramp's body, it was almost like it could be okay.

So Cyndi Lauper, she was always inspiration to keep going, it could be okay if I could hear her voice.

But, but, but... dehydration 🙄

Sounds like Thomas found another precedent he hasn't had a chance at destroying yet, well except Loving of course, and the "this isn't the right vehicle" bs is just sour grapes.

You can't see me, but I am swimming just under the surface in that picture, I told them to wait so I could be in it too, those rascals. LOL 😂 😈

So obviously fake, the note in the story is clean without creases, and was what uploaded by the document scanner the cops keep in the trunk of a car so that some Walmart brand website could be the only outlet to run it. Nice try spreading hate.

I know it isn't much of a response, I know we do what we can. If I could I would hug you, we could sob together, but Keep up the fight, Vote if you can, make your voice heard, don't stop being that thorn in the side that keep attention where it is needed instead of on that shiny thing over there. And I promise to do the same!

I am absolutely in love with the show about the Fascist party ripping itself apart, I am appalled by the carnage left in it's wake. The no-true-scottsmanism that is showing is just another sign that the divide is getting deeper. If you ever said anything, thought anything, voted for anything, or posted anything that doesn't toe the party line exactly you owe a debt forever. That is what it's about though, what can I hold over you to control you.

No specific concerns, I like what you shared, I am looking for some general takes. I appreciate what you know about the noise cancelling.

There are times that I feel like others are taking offense to me asking for clarification. I have found that in some cases my tone of voice is misunderstood, trying to clear up the misunderstanding didn't help, but it did at least give me an explanation.
