TIL The Double Empathy Problem theory suggests social difficulties experienced by autistic people when interacting with non-autistic people are due to reciprocal differences, not an inherent deficiency, most autistic people are able to display good social reciprocity with most other autistic people

okay but the BEST part of the first study discussed (conducted by an autistic person!) Is that it shows that while easy, calm, mutual communication and social interaction is often more natural between two autistic people than it is between an autistic person and a non-autistic person, it is ALSO like this when an autistic person encounters a non-autistic person who imitates the autistic individual’s behaviours- neurotypical parents copying autistic children’s play, for example, apparently receive more positive engagement from their child- which is SERIOUSLY FUCKING IMPORTANT and VERY VERY GOOD because it is, once again, scientific evidence that bullshit like aversion therapy and enforced conformance and FUCKING “quiet hands” aren’t “”“”“solutions to the autism problem”“”“” and that “”“”“problems”“”“ with autism don’t stem from BEING autistic, but rather, from how NON AUSTISTIC PEOPLE TREAT AUTISTIC PEOPLE.

IE, once again, there is nothing bad or wrong about being autistic

"first white person to ever sucessfully br racist against other white people" the oppression and violence against polish and other eastern european people in england and Britian extends before and after J.K. Rowling writing this piece of shit.

Like I get the "joke" but you're ignoring the decades of shit polish people have faced in this country that she building off of. Its not 'white people on white people racism haha' its contributing to structural oppression and xenophobia thar exists here.

i know i can't argue with reality here but it's devastatingly unromantic that blood transfusions only work if you have compatible blood types

valtsv

sure i guess it's something that i can transfer my breath to their lungs via a kiss in an attempt to resuscitate or keep them alive but it lacks the visceral intimacy of sharing my blood in their veins you cannot convince me otherwise

He was like- I want a passionate and romantic love confession just like in Jane Austen…

And he got it. Oops.

we don't give percy enough credit tbh honestly if i was 12 and my mom died and my best friend was a goat and my father was a sea god and i was expected to go around the country looking for my uncle's thunderbolt with a girl that i was pretty sure hated my guts while literally everyone in my life was hiding things from me and never giving me any information so i had to peice everything together and still being called dumb i would go on a homicidal killing spree. i think percy managed to beat up ares because of the unhealthy amount of rage and agitation that was building up inside of him. honestly i don't blame him at ALL pop off king

for some reason zooming out really far makes it more obvious. i still have no idea how this is achieved

not-terezi-pyrope

This is an AI generated image created by combining a colour shading template with a prompt that was something like "a group of cute cats". The AI generated a matching image while retaining the rough shading of the template image (the words "gay sex" on a white background). It's the same as that spiral image that was going around.

It's funny how tumblr loves generative AI as long as it's a fun meme and/or they don't know that that's what it is.

not-terezi-pyrope

Other AI tells: The window is two inches from the floor, the shadow pattern on the cats is nonsensical so that it fits the shading of the text, but blends in seamlessly (not a photoshop job), distorted cat facial features, some of that cats have two fukcign legs,,,

Fun fact: anytime you hear a story that boils down to “and then some ABSOLUTE FOOL sued this totally innocent megacorporation for assloads of money AND WON! Can you believe it? Ridiculous. Some people, right?” 99 times out of 100, the corporation super fucked up, the plaintiff 100% deserved that money,.and you’ve just been fed corporate propaganda.

… Even that one time someone walked into a glass wall at apple?

fandomsandfeminism

Apple Inc. has settled a case related to an 82-year-old woman who allegedly sustained injuries when she walked into a glass wall at the comp

The one where an 82 year old woman broke her nose because Apple hadn’t followed proper safety and building regulations. Where this same door that, again was violating safety codes, had already injured other guests and the store hadn’t fixed it. Because they wanted that sleek aesthetic.

Yes, even that one. (Also it was settled out of court and Apple paid her the money she asked for. So.)

The only exception is the guy who sued Redbull because it didn’t give him wings…

notajerusalemcricket-deactivate

no that one too. red bull was sued because their marketing for all of time, including the slogan, gives off the idea that its a potent energy drink (which it isnt. i mean it has caffeine but not a Special amount.)

when asked, they doubled down, and constant marketing of something as an Energy Drink when its really not is false advertising.

of course when making Clicky Headlines, news sites reported it as

uh

this

Red Bull settles class action lawsuit.

thenilofernoorulain

What the fuck!?

notajerusalemcricket-deactivate

lmao

notajerusalemcricket-deactivate

id like to note a quick rule of thumb

if, in these types of “ridiculous” cases, the plaintiff wins against MegaCorp Inc. for a huge amount of money, whoevers telling this information is misrepresenting their case.

if that last one was actually about sprouting wings, redbull woulda just laughed it off, and the court wouldnt enforce anything

worddevourer

Ultimately, the rule is this: A big company will always have effective lawyers. If those lawyers cannot worm their way out of culpability for the company, then whatever they end up paying out is probably still less than it should be.

hulking-godless-child-beast

if the lawyers can’t cover their ass, A) it was a MASSIVE ass, and B) the marketing team will

next year james patterson is slapping his name on a book called "the secret lives of booksellers and librarians," which is real bold considering that every bookseller and librarian that i've met in my time as a bookseller and librarian absolutely loathes him. including me.

birdlord5000

"rowan if you hate james patterson how come you know about a book of his that's coming out seven months from now?"

I Must Keep The Scope Of My Sniper Rifle Trained On The Beast At All Times

Okay, I feel the need to explain just why James Patterson is so hated by librarians.

See, it's not just that he writes mediocre, churned-out thrillers; there are many, many authors of mediocre, churned-out thrillers out there, he ain't special.

It's also not that he "writes" them with "coauthors" and slaps his name on them - again, this is not unique.

It's not even - though this is starting to get there- that he chases every publishing trend and creates His Version of everything from Diary of a Wimpy Kid to Nicholas Sparks, which nobody likes as well as they like his thrillers but still buy because they have His Name on them like a summoning charm.

No, what makes James Patterson uniquely loathed is the combination of the frequency of publication and his popularity. Because, to be honest, I'm not sure that anyone even likes his books anymore, but it doesn't matter, because if they have the James Patterson name on them then readers will be queuing up like zombies desperate for a fix of decaying cerebral matter. Which would be tolerable if he had the decency to only write one book a year like most other bestselling authors, but "James Patterson" (quotes VERY intentional) puts out roughly two books per month. So as a librarian, not only do you have to buy every new book James Patterson puts out, you have to buy multiple copies in order to fulfill demand. Somewhere around 5% of my fiction budget is spent ENTIRELY ON JAMES PATTERSON. Every new James Patterson that comes out means a dozen or more queer romances, inventive sci-fi novellas, unique cultural viewpoints, etc, etc that you can't buy because YOU HAVE TO BUY JAMES PATTERSON INSTEAD. (See also, you just weeded and shifted the Ps in fiction to make room and now it's full again oh god why.)

And the clincher - the absolute clincher - is the knowledge that the publishers will be "finding" "unfinished manuscripts" by "James Patterson" for a minimum of fifty years after his death, so even if some right-minded bibliophile with a claymore takes one for the team, we will never, ever be free.

And that is why we hate James Patterson.
