Realized not only have I blocked them, they've blocked me which I always find is so telling. If you trawl the PDS feeds retroactively blocking people who block you, you are so brain poisoned you'll start writing shit like, well, this.
God could part the heavens to explain that a hurricane was entirely caused by man-made climate change and public polling on climate change would move 2% in the wrong direction
really not a fan of how "neurodivergent" has morphed from a neutral-valence term to cover the umbrella of developmental conditions, learning disabilities, etc. into a synonym for "mental superpowers" in some circles
The Rain Man stereotype has become so embedded in our cultural psyche over the last 40 years that we don’t even recognize it for what it is anymore: A movie plot point.
Using “neurodivergence” to mean “Level 1 Autism as I personally experience it” and “neurotypical” to specifically mean “not autistic” is really fucking annoying and that’s what happens every time someone Magento posts about their neurodivergence.
it’s like, okay, are you asking me to hand the climate policy reigns over to people with ADHD and mild dyslexia? is that what you’re asking for? I’m sure they’d do a fine job about it but I don’t see the benefit
This type of guy’s narrative of neurodivergence only includes those whose diagnosis is immediately perceptible to “normies”, but not exclusively debilitating, so you can say it’s a superpower.
People with mild dyslexia are “normies” and people with like, severe schizophrenia don’t exist.
i think there is a type of climate activist who is going to be pretty upset when the climate doesn’t end up being the thing that compels “normies” to obey or die but it doesn’t usually get illustrated this… directly
Not the point ofc but of all the pejoratives in the world that could describe the current government of the United States, we're going with... 'normie'
