Here’s a thing about how autism is pathologized So for my day job, I edit academic papers. I saw two different papers today, one that focuses on helping young children in after-school programs develop friendly interpersonal relationships and... https://t.co/GH44ZczQUt
@Claudia_Rizzi@commaficionado I'd say it has to do with their energy and tolerance level AFTER something. Like, all kids are expected to behave in a particular way in public, and ask kids are tired after being made to do Polite for more than like ten minutes.
@tracytron2 @Xalindria @lava273 @Cactrot No, that stupid line in Avengers about "I'm always angry" is a concept form the comics. Bruce is deeply traumatized from an abusive childhood and yearns to be invincible so he can never be hurt again, but his rage makes him unable to control his transformations.
@GeekyJules I started using Twitter regularly when Ellora's Cave blew up in the early 201somethings because it was the easiest way to follow wtf was happening. I'd published a book with them DAYS before everything went sideways. Started following a bunch of authors.
@Jessika_Griffin @ellle_em The problem with Mastodon, as I understand it, is that people create their own private networks, so it's not the same interaction level as Twitter? I haven't used it before, so I don't know.
@ellle_em In case the validation is helpful: it really doesn't. There are a LOT of us where it would be difficult-to-impossible. I have no idea where I'd even start if I did. <3
@alyzande How well does Linked In work for non-traditional work stuff, like freelancing etc? My job history is so damn weird that I've never bothered with more than having an up-to-date profile there.
@elknight20 This is me, still cranky about how they named Thor's axe after Beta Ray Bill's hammer in the movie. I'd love to know how they feel about how Thor was referred to as "Odinson" when he was unworthy of the name.
@Nezumi_Youjo @machineiv It's difficult to talk about the new testament without brushing up against some really brutal stuff against Jewish people. For all the "Jesus was Jewish" talk people have, the Bible pretty strongly blames Jewish people for Jesus's death.
@invent_god@thedigitaldash_ Unless you're considering people with PTSD neurodivergent, this is pretty crap. Afaik, that's where the term actually originated.
@GeekyJules This thread has been a journey from someone who thought they had a point to someone who is frantically trying to cover their ass and refusing to put down the shovel.
