@heavenslittlebastard @nellie_m @XenoDangerEvil @actuallyautistic Welcome! It can be a bit overwhelming but it starts making sense quite soon. When you're used to being fed posts by an algorithm, it can be a bit jarring when everything you see is by choice.

here’s an explanation why (first link) and a workaround if you want to see all replies (second link). It’s good to remember that if you visit the original page in your browser, you can only read, not like/boost/comment.

@actuallyautistic Could anyone recommend a book on emotions for Autistic people - preferably BY an Autist. My Autistic 14YO son just asked me for one, but "not one for kids". He says he needs something that discusses emotions and what they feel like, to help him understand how he feels. He knows anxiety all too well, but the more subtle ones are difficult for him to understand.

We're looking ourselves, of course, but so far the recommends we have found have been rather suspect. I value the ActuallyAutistic hive mind's opinions far more than any search engine's!

Please boost for reach ;-)

@VeroniqueB99 I remember when Dan Quayle misspelled "potato" and we were all like "yeah... he can't be president."

Good times.

I loved this interview between Heather Cox Richardson and Stacey Abrams about how to meet the moment of the next four years.

Meanwhile in serious countries, the opposition stands up and opposes in beautiful ways.

MP Hana-Rawhiti Kareariki Maipi-Clarke of New Zealand, tore up proposed changes to the Indigenous Treaties Bill and started a haka in the Parliamentary Gallery.

She's the youngest MP at 22, representing Te Pāti Māori.

BADASS.

This is an experiment. Please boost.

Here's the idea: This post is going first to my followers, then, if they boost it, to other people. This domain has been registered for only this experiment. I should see in my web server's logs when mastodon instances start crawling the site for info. Then maybe also some curious humans.

I just want to play with my monitoring a bit :)

"Tolerance" means letting others live their own lives how they want.

"Tolerance" does NOT mean accepting an endless stream of abuse with good cheer.

The elivator lights go out. We’re trapped.

Christmas music begins, the worst of the worst: “Little Drummer Boy.”

“But they can't play this in March,” whimpers Carol.

"Little Drummer Boy" finishes—and begins again. Eternal repeat.

Our alien captor laughs. An ugly sound. So much hatred. But why?

Thank you to anyone and everyone still bringing comedy to the Fediverse. You are needed and appreciated.

And thank you to anyone and everyone still bringing alcohol directly to people’s door. You are also needed and appreciated.

This isn't quite the world I thought we were living in. I tell myself it's chaos. The world's like that. Things to up and down. And every morning I take the paper in my driveway and throw it in the trash. Like dog doo in a plastic wrapper. I get it, okay? Don't need to think about it every second.

If you can’t accept me at my worst, that seems reasonable. I’ll circle back when I’m somewhat better
