@MikeASperrazza Let me ask you a question Mike- if I’m telling you I smoked crack, why in the world would I lie about snorting it? There’s plenty of pictures of me smoking crack doing all sorts of stupid things, with all sorts of people and rarely with clothes on. But not snorting cocaine.
@aleryxa_ Far left, bilateral femur fractures are most critical, 2 can wait, 3 is clearly dead. Even his chest cavity looks like a ghost face on the X-ray. That is a ghost photograph.
@Alayna_Og I get these: focus on electrolytes, potassium, sodium, magnesium. But the thing that really works for me is pickle juice. I actually love the taste, and a few ounces a day just sends them into remission.
evolution of autistic relationship with language
- take everything people say literally at face value
- horrifying experiences of finding out people don’t mean what they say
- hyperfixation on understanding people’s motives leading to digging up skeletons people want buried
- compulsion to seek out other autists for that sweet sweet autist-to-autist communication
- congratulations, all of your friends now have exactly the same problems as you but at least the conversations go hard

I’m an investor in Brooke’s company.
Let me tell you a little bit about Brooke.
She’s relentlessly resourceful and she can get incredible things done without needing a lot of money or support. For instance, she hosted me and a large group of our investors for a huge event, very little notice, and it went off perfectly with every detail taken care of.
She doesn’t need direction either because she’s intrinsically self-motivated and accomplishment oriented. When I’ve seen her interact with the larger Corgi ecosystem, she brings people together in ways that make the whole much more powerful than the sum of its parts.
When I talk about Corgi, and I often talk about their culture of working incredibly hard and that their people love it, she’s a perfect example of someone who sets that very standard for the company.
I hope Corgi holds onto her for a long time, but if she ever chooses to leave to start her own company, I definitely would invest.
I don’t love it when people give criticism in public. But given that this will turn a spotlight on Brooke - I thought this was a good chance for the social media record to be set straight.
I also hope more employees and founders share a bit of themselves alongside the job that they do in their social media because marketing matters and people like being customers of Corgi because it’s a company that has people like Brooke at it.
I hope more people follow Brooke’s lead. Especially on good hair days.
🧵Masking is not performance. It is protection. 🚨1/16
Masking is ( or was) trending on Twitter.
It’s also increasingly heard in clinical practice.
As with most phenomena that suddenly become popular, it can be misunderstood ( and are applied broadly)
“Masking” is not one thing.
( yes it was originally described as social camouflaging in ASD)
It can be heterogeneous. ( in its functions)
Let’s explore it from a neurobiological and psychological perspective 👇
@RealLAnative@TheOnlyDSC Three of my favorite all-time vehicles: we never had a K5, but we did have a Scout II and a Ford Bronco (Eddie Bauer). My grandad also had a Wagoneer that we would take out desert prospecting in the Superstition Mountains in AZ. This feels very Orange County to me.
@SteveSkojec Can confirm, 5'9" 280 with a 19-inch neck and wide shoulders, thick ankles and wrists, and played rugby from High school into adulthood with the Navy and then club. Sticking someone like this is amazingly fun. Also worked in diplomatic security and as a bar bouncer, mass helps.
