A thing that drives me crazy as a supervisor is people who won't ask clients or employees for stuff because they have made up their mind that the person will say no, before even asking. I always say the same thing: "Let *them* tell you no."
@ask_aubry Look this is the first time I've opened Twitter in months and the first thing I see is this and just. I'm just going to gently close it again and back away slowly, have a good night everybody.
@wizardsofautism This has been a big topic in my house, as we've learned my wife and son are both autistic. I don't personally find it to be a respect thing, but a cue that my son is listening, because that's how neurotypical people usually show it. We're finding other cues instead now though.
@the_tweedy Seems to be right on target for being not fully formed. (Also, sir, I have been away from Twitter for awhile and like. Jesus, you just keep getting more absurdly handsome STAHP IT I'm starting to hate you 😂)
@onenhillion Oh i love your grandma so much. This made me very teary eyed. I'm chronically ill as well, and haven't been able to work since I was 36. Letting myself be has been the hardest part by far. Sending you love and good wishes.
She just announced that her 17-year-old son knocked up his 15-year-old girlfriend. So just hear me out on this, we should all be talking to our children well before age 21 about sexuality and gender.
So apparently there’s just straight up an adenovirus that makes you fat, and we’ve kinda known this for awhile now? And studies show that quite a lot of people have it?
Did everyone know about this thing but me? Cos I sorta feel like that should have been a bigger discussion.
@Lady_Devi_ @SueTheBirdLady @flareaudio They are AMAZING. Truly. A world of difference for my wife. And they really do make her feel calm, without the extra noise causing anxiety or dread. They sell a really nice keychain case for them too. I'm hella cheap, and I would honestly spend twice as much.
@SueTheBirdLady @flareaudio Wife has autism & really sensitive to lots of different sounds. These are AWESOME. I got her some for Xmas & she is astonished by crowd noise not upsetting her, ambient sounds in the house, etc. A little pricey but now I would pay ANYTHING, they help her SO much. 157/10 get some!

@ErinInTheMorn I'm so sorry. My very loving and typically incredibly supportive mom surprised me by taking 8 years to get over it and stop deadnaming and misgendering me. Hang in there.
I love public libraries because they are built on the principle that books are so important and so necessary to human flourishing that access to them cannot depend on your income.
