@BanTracker @drummergirl_19 @Jacob_VonD I want people to be happy, healthy, and safe.

What do you want?

@CrunchyMommaC @CuriousBunnie12 First looks also can dramatically decrease stress levels though. It takes some of the “performing intimate moments for everyone we’ve ever met” out of it.

And also timelines can be WAY easier when you do the “cheat” 🤷🏻‍♀️

@_daijak Also housekeeping!

@SceneByAshlix @JoePostingg Requisitioned is absolutely the correct word and while not super common for most people, most people also don’t requisition things often.

@evermoresivy My sister and (Jewish) I are lowkey obsessed with this so. I get it

[Wendy 🍒 @cherriesandgin]

@Michellek4040 @emilykmay But we see each other more than we would if we were friends. Doesn’t stop my sister from telling me to fire her as my therapist so she can be friends with her though!

[Wendy 🍒 @cherriesandgin]

@Michellek4040 @emilykmay I met my therapist at my nail salon. We hit it off and she offered to refer me to someone. She ended up being a good match for me. We’ve discussed that we both knew that day that we’d either be therapist-client or best friends. We’re both kind of sad sometimes which way we went!

@SkinnySC @_Zeets This fundamentally misunderstands how generative AI works. It’s not a useful tool. ChatGPT doesn’t know anything. It’s not just that the kids aren’t learning. They are trusting the output of gen AI. You can’t ask AI a question and get a real answer.

@sharrond62 You mean the movies where the nazis are burning books?

[Wendy 🍒 @cherriesandgin]

@AlHendiify I’m confused. What is a roaming law? Are you allowed to have outdoor cats?

[Wendy 🍒 @cherriesandgin]

@mamashchamuda I once convinced myself out of agnosticism and into belief with the lack of afterlife discussions. I figure if someone were making stuff up they’d include that pretty fundamental answer

@ArtAutonomy And just to answer the inevitable question: if you are an ally to queer people, anti racist, and feminist, you cannot vote for the current Republican Party. It is incompatible.

[Wendy 🍒 @cherriesandgin]

@ArtAutonomy I’m perfectly happy to have friends with different opinions. I’m unwilling to socialize with people who don’t are hateful. Transphobia, racism, sexism, homophobia, and all other bigotries aren’t “different opinions.” They are hateful values and I don’t associate with them.

@FirstClassDuck @Cluffalo They put a tag on it when it’s overweight so airline workers can plan

[Wendy 🍒 @cherriesandgin]

@HannahLouYah @crulge Right but that’s how it gets used

[Wendy 🍒 @cherriesandgin]

@Phreakdawg69 None of this is what I said

[Wendy 🍒 @cherriesandgin]

@Phreakdawg69 Ok so you are having the exact problem this post is talking about. I never said it meant smart and quirky. Good grief.

[Wendy 🍒 @cherriesandgin]

@Phreakdawg69 It’s funny how you can just decree this without any information

[Wendy 🍒 @cherriesandgin]

@crulge I want to clarify. When I say we need better language, I mean to replace phrases like “low support needs.” I think all autistic people should remain on the autism spectrum.

[Wendy 🍒 @cherriesandgin]

@crulge I put support needs in quotes because it’s a phrase that is distinctly imperfect and encourages the idea that “high functioning” people don’t need support when in fact we often just learned to cope (and therefore have bonus trauma etc).

[Wendy 🍒 @cherriesandgin]

@Phreakdawg69 I have a diagnosis from a mental health professional. Try again.

[Wendy 🍒 @cherriesandgin]

@Phreakdawg69 Ok so you just don’t know what autism is
