Burning down a refugee camp is not a tragic mishap, especially if you first burned down the refugees original homes, their hospitals, their water pumps and treatment plants, and their fields. No, it is not a mishap. It is an intentional act of violence against people who have lost everything.

No accurate figures so it's up to the brilliance of @mike_honey_ @dbRaevn & a few others to estimate what's going on.

This suggests that over 1 million people have C0VID in Oz right now, & that almost half of the entire population has had C0VID in the last 6 months. These numbers are extraordinary.

@burningbird They're not really far-right. They're of the same mindset as Yahu's Government, the IDF, the majority of Israelis...and Israel's major supplier of weapons. Would WaPo class Democrats as Far Right? Are they even prepared to stigmatise the Republicans as being Far Right Trumpist MAGAts?

I hate when media does inspiration porn stories in general, but particularly when:

  • They let a newly disabled person with tons of internalized ableism become "the voice of disabled people"

and

  • When that "success story" clearly came from access to therapeutic supports the average person doesn't have, yet now everyone who doesn't meet their standard of recovery "must not be trying hard enough". #Ableism @disability
Tooden,
@Tooden@aus.social avatar

@meganL Every damn time. Pressures are also brought to bear - to encourage, entreat, or exhort the injured to become self supporting; to become as whole as their injury will allow. Anything else is weak-minded and defeatist. Some ableist ponces decided that compaasion is leftist. @disability

Housing prices today are absolute nuts; in 2003 our apartment cost less than half of the median unit price in Melbourne today. God knows how we'd buy a place nowadays on freelance incomes. Way past time for government to remove property investor tax incentives.

Australia property prices: Average household would struggle to buy average house

@timrichards I fail to see how it can benefit the ones who are doing this, in the long run. Bunch of Nottingham Sheriffs. What will they do for kicks when they have priced everyone - including themselves - out of the market?

I’ve been reading about “stimming in autism”, which up until now was very confusing to me mostly because that’s the one point kept being repeated in the community being a must for an autistic individual. And I can’t relate to that at all.

Then I came across something that describes the purpose of ‘stimming’ is to deal with extra energy. Then it kinda hit me, I’ve never had the need to stim because I’m a low energy person in general.

I get overwhelmed with activities when they involve raising heart rates (yes, THAT too). I like quiet things, dead of night etc. Once at a time in my life, I was pretty sure I could hear flow of electricity.

So my question to the #ActuallyAutistic community: do you think stimming is a must for autistic people? Do you relate to it? Anyone know of any low energy stimming that gets overlooked?

Thanks! Much love!! 💕 #Autism #Neurodivergent #stimming @actuallyautistic

Tooden,
@Tooden@aus.social avatar

@farah Stimming is also a self-soothing activity...especially in stressful situations. If you don't need it, it doesn't make you less autistic, afaik. Mine are mostly unobtrusive, thus unnoticeable, now. I used to chew my nails. I used to smoke cigarettes. @actuallyautistic

Is there a term in the autistic world for "outing" someone? In the gay world we have often very accurate "gaydar".

I was watching a mom and son on a television show. On one hand I want to talk about them and their interaction, but on the other hand I don't feel right about "diagnosing" them, particularly in a public way.

What are your thoughts on self-diagnosis being belittled by many in the autistic community?

For clarity, I’m not asking to start a debate, just a genuine discussion. I currently don’t have the option to get a diagnosis, but feel fairly confident that the research I’ve done over the past year and a half has been legitimate and credible.

I don’t feel comfortable saying that I am definitively autistic, but I am ok with saying I’m “self-suspecting.” @actuallyautistic

@chevalier26 Or not. But, it is still one view. My 'special interest' for the past 21 months, has been . It is ongoing. @darrellpf @pathfinder @janetlogan @actuallyautistic

Tooden,
@Tooden@aus.social avatar

@chevalier26 As a very late realised , I want to add my reassurances about self-discovery vs formal diagnosis. A majority of Autists have their informal diagnosis confirmed if/when they go through the formal assessment.
I'm not sure what the gatekeepers expect to gain from their actions. @actuallyautistic
