Question for fellow @actuallyautistic and @actuallyadhd neurodivergent folks:

How do you explain your ideas to neurotypicals?

I constantly struggle because my brain has made connections that are not obvious to others, and when I try to guide them through my thinking I confuse them with details or by skipping explanations that seem obvious to me but completely surprising to anyone else.

Frameworks, links, anything is appreciated!

my ancient iphone 8 couldn't really grasp what was happening, but my ancient panasonic lumix picked up quite a bit with its little leica lens on aperture priority #aurora #alaska

The flip side to “Europeans are lazy and don’t work hard” is that we’re able to maintain a modern society with a high standard of living while still being able to spend time with our families. And why kill yourself through overwork when most of the rewards go to somebody else, anyway?

This map shows where Russia is currently attacking GPS signals in the EU.

According to this brilliantly researched article from Peter Møller, Russia has a classified weapons system called Tobol, which is jamming GPS satellites from a base in Kaliningrad.

By using photos and articles from before the war, he has managed to piece together a surprisingly clear picture of what the Russians are doing.

(In Danish but translating it is absolutely worth it.)

The blogging platform #Ghost is working on adding #ActivityPub integration. That means, among other things, being able to follow Ghost-powered blogs and comment on articles right from your Mastodon account. The website they made to explain their plans is really nice! This is what momentum looks like.

Mastodon friends… important poll (please boost for reach!)

The tables in our nearby #NYC deli have literal dried beans as decoration (see first reply to this thread for pics)

So…. beans? 🤔

Yes. This is a callout to people thinking that they aren’t doing all they can, or those thinking that they should be doing more for whatever ails you.

“…by having a poverty of the imagination we actually hold back just solar energy transitions.
We don’t believe enough in utopian visions to act in line with them. And if we don’t do that we don’t actually create the possibilities for them to flourish…”

The most punk thing you can do is care about vulnerable people in a society that actively discourages it.

I just finally deployed something I've been working on for a few weeks now: a feed of my writing, posting, reading, and other various activity that lives on my website at https://www.mollywhite.net/feed!

I've admired the POSSE (https://indieweb.org/POSSE; "Publish [on your] Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere") model for a long time, but only finally found the time and energy to put something together that I'm actually happy with.

How did The New York Times, one of the world’s most famous and well-established publications, choose to review Geraldine DeRuiter’s ( @everywhereist) new book?

By illustrating her decapitated head on a plate, getting devoured by another woman. No, I’m not joking.

I got mad about it. I wrote about why:

Abled people find it hard to believe how many people are actually disabled, vulnerable, mentally ill, or have chronic pain and impairment that requires ongoing medication or other treatment because they think of themselves as "normal" and "the default" and assume other people are faking.

It's a pretty common story, the same as every other dominant group looking askance at the marginalized and asking why they can't just bootstrap themselves out of the problem.

Even as they make it worse.

#Help: I need recommendations for resources to learn #business financial concepts and #calculations.

I have advanced #math knowledge up to and including multivariable calculus. My background is in physics though.

I am a business owner and want to make some financial models for #marketing budgets for fun (but also hopefully useful).

But I never studied #economics or #finance in any way.
