[Image description: A first-person view of a pale arm outstretched, dangling a small common lizard by it's extremely long tail.] @torch_of_justice on youtube: Re: mold; Why do you think some life is worth protecting and other life not? What do you believe the point is of any life that is not sentient? Re: scientific start of a pregnancy being at the end of the mother's last period; look it up for yourself if you don't believe me, I am neither lying or mistaken. Re: why would I intervene in the life of a lizard but not someone else's body? Because that body is not mine, nor am I called to be the caretaker of my fellow humans. I have far more to do arguing for the protection and feeding of the 60,000 children who age out of the foster care system every year, many of which are also the young women trying to get abortions because they were raped in their group homes. Children who were abandoned (not only by their families but also by t...

Each overflowing with flour, a rolled-down paper sack and small metal flour scoop artistically frame the foreground.] Krystal Parson, on a public facebook post which was shared in a private group, said this:  'So tonight as I was cooking, I was thinking about life. And I said in my subconscious "I've reached my breaking point." 'I began to make cornbread and cracked these two eggs and I heard "Now I can use you!" You see an egg can't be used until it's broken.' I disagree. I'm not a product to be consumed by the discompassionate. I'm not a replaceable cog that can be cut to match the needs of a machine. An eggshell, once broken, is discarded, ground up for compost at best, it's contents scraped out and transformed into s...

Me: I can't think of anything to say that doesn't make me sound like a 70s anti-war hippie... i wish this was something we could solve digitally or financially or something... 1: Yeah, I don’t like war either, I just don’t understand how someone can be so stupid. Me: That's a strongly subjective statement. (also extremely vague. Am I the person who is "so stupid"? Not likely, but if so, why???) 1: Well, yeah, it’s subjective of course. And obviously, [National Leader P]. 2: Power makes anyone stupid. Me: I doubt it's stupidity. You don't acquire power by being stupid, our recent president's bearing notwithstanding - it could have been one hell of an act. You acquire power by being selfish, and every war or invasion I've ever researched has had a significant profit margin for someone very close to the people in charge. That's not a stupid reason to go to war - although it's intensely selfish. I don't agree with the morals and...

I wanted to share a couple Android apps I've found to be helpful on days that I'm overwhelmed (nonverbal). Regardless of how thoroughly an autistic person learns to speak, there will be days where it really costs too many spoons to make words come out with proper enunciation, especially in order. So, apps like these are essential for austistic adults, if only because many people are too lazy to communicate with sincerity. There are many such apps, but these two are free and highly configurable. Kids may prefer apps that use more/larger pictures, but once they develop a larger "inner vocabulary" the picture boards won't be suitable. I remember clearly when I was a kid, because I couldn't say the words I was reading, my mother assumed I didn't know them, that somehow I was fooling all my teachers into thinking i was more intelligent than i actually was because I was somehow cheating on the book reports I was turning in. She constantly made me feel as if ever...

[img desc: blurry white papers on a blurry tan desk, a magnifying glass held in the center of the frame reveals equally spaced non-language dark grey glyphs, including shapes such as squares, circles, and a simple drawing of a ringed planet, written with a very "wet" pen. This is likely a code, but it matches pretty closely to the description of how my visually impaired friend describes sight - even when she can see, it doesn't really make sense.] I've just woken up... and this is what's already occupying my mind.... the other day in a discord mostly for blind people, i had an argument with someone who said something like, "the first, biggest problem that blind people face is the blind people who are able to work and choose not to", this was driven because apparently friends had told her that certain jobs were too hard for them. it was exceptionally frustrating to explain to her that sometimes people just say things that aren't accurate ...

》　It really saddens me that it only takes one bad apple to ruin a bunch for most people. The reason the saying is, "one bad apple ruins the bushel/barrel" is that because of the way apples rot, they emit a gas that causes all the apples around them to rot as well. When talking about how people interact, a person did not develop their personality by accident or by chance; they were enabled by so many people that there's almost no way of picking out any particular influence. For instance, if you read the book about Trump by his niece, she points out that nearly every troubling behavior he has was initially caused by the extremely high desire he had to earn his own father's affection, and was subsequently reinforced by celebrity-dom and the trappings of wealth. Similarly MLK Jr., who was a reverend for some time before he became a celebrity, was strongly influenced by his own understanding of the Word of God and the unconditional support of his loved ones, ev...
