Raccoon help needed!

Hi!

My mother has been feeding a family of raccoons recently and they are getting way too dependent and comfortable around people, I keep trying to convince her to stop but sadly it's been to no avail. Do you have any advice or information I could share with her as to why it's a bad idea?

Thanks in advance.

A fed raccoon is a dead raccoon. Raccoons that are highly habituated to humans are at a higher risk of getting hit by cars, developing terminal diabetes/kidney failure/cancer, and getting killed by other humans who hate raccoons or call the health department in fear that they are rabid. I like to make it clear to people who feed raccoons that I can feel their love for the animal. And then I introduce them to better ways to love the animals, such as planting native fruits, veggies, and nuts. And providing a safe place for them to engage in natural activities where they won't be hurt by others.

Hmm. My ceiling in my living room that I haven’t been in since Dashcon is collapsing and there is an alarming amount of mold. I believe something bad has occurred, I do not know what to do about this situation because it is not raccoon related.

side note, but i feel like this is a good example of how autism manifests in seemingly "low support needs" individuals. I can get a permit that is very hard to obtain, go to another country where nobody I work with speaks the language I do, hold myself together while I kneel beside a dead raccoon to try to determine cause of death, write reports for institutions to mitigate risk to raccoons, etc etc etc. but then the moment something like this happens I freeze up and curl in a ball and have no idea what to do because I have no money or skill to fix it myself and i'm scared of the textures. And also literally cannot speak on the phone ever.

No, it's not inappropriate. It is a really common feeling for a lot of autistic people society deems as "low support needs."

There's a lot of frustration and shame in it, too, because of the way the world as a whole treats us. I think it is rooted in Aspie supremacy or whatever (internalized and external), but there is so much focus on the so called magical, wonderful abilities autism gives you (in my case, raccoons/costume design), that when you exhibit autistic traits more commonly associated with "high support needs" individuals, people automatically go "ummm I think you are faking/lazy/stupid/weaponizing incompetence/blah blah blah because I have seen you do [xyz thing that people find incredibly impressive], so you should easily be able to do [current thing]!" When that is not how autism works. Additionally, I don't think most people realized that a lot of "low support needs" autistic folks aren't infact all that "low support needs," it's just that they don't have people able to meet those support needs, so they just struggle. And because nobody is there to see them struggle, then those struggles don't exist.

Would anyone want to help me by being a mod of my rabies babies community? I have kind of let that fall by the wayside, but people are still in it apparently and spam keeps getting posted :/ it might be a good place for me to post my lyssavirus hunting computer tutorial once I finish that though

gender essentialism is soooo funny bc it's like "this is what women are like" and you're like "I've met women and many of them, if not the majority, have not been like that" and it's like "well women SHOULD be like that" and you're like "why should women be like that" and its like "because that's what women are like"

Autism actually can make people violent and aggressive, and I’m tired of “autism advocates” saying it can’t. Many autistic people, especially higher support needs people lose control of their bodies during meltdowns and times of high emotion. Some autistics have limited control of their bodies at all times. This body brain disconnect is a prevalent associative feature of autism. This is not to say that measures shouldn’t be taken to protect and teach the autistic person and others, but you can’t erase real, but stigmatized parts of a condition, and then dare to call yourself an advocate. Just because a symptom is unpleasant or unpalatable doesn’t mean it’s not a genuine part of the disorder. Stop ‘cleansing’ your autism advocacy.

and when people acknowledge it they treat it as an Evil Boy Thing which. no. autistic girls (and autistic people considered girls by these sort of people) do it all the time you just don’t acknowledge their existence.

Checking in periodically that the Ianto shrine still exists, and usually finding evidence via posts by people in Cardiff confused at learning it's a memorial to a fictional character who died sixteen years ago and not like, a memorial to a real person who drowned. It's a testament to the Power of Stories blahblahblah but is also such a preposterous thing to exist. That loser Sherlock Holmes only has one plaque at Reichenbach Falls so I think it's clear Who won Superwholock

The famous memorial to Gareth David-Lloyd's fallen 'Torchwood' character Ianto Jones in Cardiff Bay will be no more as of next month.

RIP Ianto. Again

The government tore down our glorious Ianto Shrine but they'll DIVERT POWER LINES for the grave of DOBBY!??

Potter fans complained after a project manager suggested cables would go under the grave in a BBC interview.

It's been saved from being destroyed TWICE??? And I've never heard even once that this exists and Potterheads had to be told to not leave fucking socks on an environmentally protected beach to honor DOBBY. The fuck
