Fifth (temporary !!!!!) cat confirmed.
She needs a bootcamp for a while at our place because she wasn't at all socialized where she was - rapidly heading into houseless cat situation.

It's not about biology, it's about being emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually ready.
Reducing baby-making to biology, is reducing people to cattle. I bear witness that this is, dhulm.

These protest make trending videos, BUT it's not what sets French protesters apart from other countries.
It's blocking ports, blocking oil refineries, it's blocking trains and highways ALL OVER the country, it's blocking nuclear plants, it's cutting electrity to politicians.
@childmindinst
Pro-tip : when your child seeks attention from you, GIVE THEM ATTENTION before they are distressed.
They will learn that they can count on their reliable and dependable parents. They will learn to trust their parents.
@JoshuaPHilll
She's been visiting refugee camps several times per year, for twenty years. She's a former Special Envoy to the UN. She wrote and directed several war movies. It's not **that** insane.
@JoshuaPHilll
Then there's blocking the universities, and refusing to pick up the trash AND blocking the trashtrucks in their garages AND blocking the incinerators AND the students protesting WITH the garbage collectors.

1) it always starts with words
2) letting this sh*t slide at an awards show, is exactly what empowers bullies to do this kind of physical escalation in schools.
same dynamic as giving Tr*mp a big racist platform, emboldened racists everywhere. people died.

Doesn't apply to the court of public opinion.
It's a legal principle, to be used in a very specific legal context, and NOT any sort of univeral moral guideline.

That makes sense, because rape isn't about sex, it's about dominance.
Hence rape and sexual assault has been repeatedly used a tool of social dominance by ethnonationalist colonial groups (see : serbia/bosnia and russia/ukraine).

daughter was near tears explaining to me that she doesn't want to try to be diagnosed, fearing that she will not be believed.
I explained to her that

She sighed in relief.

Reading these tweets, I realize how fortunate I was to pray in Brussels Grand Mosque during my formative years as a revert.... with the women's balcony right atop of the men's section, with a clear view (plexiglass) of the mihrab below.

But not all mothers.
My MIL told me "good for you" after the divorce.
My SIL told me "I don't know how you did it".
Sometimes they're just like that, without enablers.
I have NO patience for autism martyr parents, when my low support needs autistic children are taking care of their high support needs parent (me).
Just now, my kids helped me up the stairs. Making sure i don't fall. It's a Bad Day & they have my back.
Autistic kids are the BEST

It's not that simple - for example I'm very very dyspraxic and I was an excellent dancer.

This has to be shared widely, to reach the russian people : ukrainian president's direct address to the russian people : russian with english subtitles :

You cannot 'both sides' this, anymore that you can 'both sides' domestic violence.
There's a perpetrator, and a victim.
The perp abuses the victim, due to beliefs of entitlement.
It's not complex, and it's not complicated.
Reactive violence is NOT abuse.
@slward80
This is hilarious. I sure didn't manage to be a mother three times over, by being "childlike".

adults are, well... adults. With all it entails.
"Befriend these childlike creatures..." WE ARE NOT GOBLINS. OR FAERIES.

Because he was/is an abusive drunk.
No father gets *court ordered* supervised visitation for years, on the whim of the mother. It's not **just her**.
And now the kids are old enough to decide for themselves, and they all stick with her.

my autistic brother didn't have a gf until his late twenties (or was it early thirties), and somehow he NEVER EVER turned into a raging misogynist.

She had to work with both him AND bettany on that set. And get back to her controlling husband at the end of the day. All with twin toddlers.

It won't reverse
- executive dysfunction aka i can't prepare a meal
- sensory issues aka i only like three kinds of veg
- lack of funds aka i can only buy broccoli once a week
- i ought to limit carbs BOTH for my neuro issues AND for my hormonal stuff.
TLDR; ableist & classist.

Because eugenics is bad, actually.

Your child can't do homework, or housework, or any kind of chore if there's someone else at home. Anyone else. Pets not included.

My kids. They are self aware, undiagnosed autistics, living their best life.
Yes they have had issues with bullying, but having a supportive family system really does change everything in terms of mental health. They're not alone.

Right. Unfortunately, i am neither shocked nor surprised by today's images from Bucha.
I am more baffled by the apparent surprise of journalists/politicians.
There's only two ways i can interpret that : either quite young, or very eurocentric to the point of apathy.

@AbleismCat
And you are YOU ? To pretend you have any kind of authority on how a marginalized group calls themselves ?
You are not entitled to anything. You have no seat at the table, and no right to speak on the matter.
@Thricemarked
The anger i felt when i saw a student with her baby in my med school... and there was a university nursery.
Did they really think i couldn't manage at my age, or was the dad being Black a factor in "convincing" me ?
I was so naive, so sheltered, and they took advantage of that.
@Imani_Barbarin
French is my maternal language, but i don't pronounced the app Parler in French in my head. It makes no sense.
It's an american app, full of american right wing propaganda, so i pronounce it in american in my head.

After their split, in an interview with JA, she said that they didn't have "one comfortable couch" while together.
Their indoor decoration was his and his alone (he's "artsy" or so he tells himself), and the comfort of his wife was not on his mind at all.

Tbh, it reads more like defending his territory/property/social rank, than anything else. Once that was done and established, he had the peace of mind to continue his business.
@Thricemarked
This hit a bit close to home for me. It's not about adoption, but...
I was pressured into "choosing" abortion to have "any" chance at success in life. 19yo, NOT 15yo...
The anger i felt years later as i discovered all the welfare programs hidden from me by my family.
Should we tell the neurotypicals that autistic people have a sex life and have children of their own, or would that be a fatal shock to their system ??

Functionning labels are inaccurate, harmful, and outdated.
High functionning is used to deny struggles, support, and accomodations.
Low functionning is used to deny competence and agency.
@APStylebook
NO !!
Autistic people loathe person first language !
We are autistic, not "with autism".
In describing groups of people, or when individual preferences can’t be determined, USE THE MAJORITY CHOICE OF THE CONCERNED GROUP.
@Saraheboon
Everyday sadism.
We could tone the phenomenon down and call it normalized verbal cruelty, and tone it down furthermore and say petty meanness, but it's actually sadism (= enjoying the act of hurting others) for the sake of maintaining social status.
@Purpleella
People who don't really know autism would be in disbelief about their autism *now*, because they're happy assertive teens.
- my eldest used to bang her head against walls
- my second refused to read fiction, read only encyclopedias until 12yo
- my youngest talked very late
