Give someone a fish, they’ll eat for a day.
Teach someone to fish, they’ll eat forever.
Teach everyone to fish, the marine ecosystem collapses and the only people who eat are the boat-builders and the bankers who bundled their boat-loans in complex derivatives and flogged them off before anyone figured out what was going on.
This looks cool - psst @hrhturq :D
Balloon for when somebody lands in the hospital for something that was definitely their fault.
well shit
Ah yes, the profit motive, always incentivising the best outcomes.
Today on “I’m an Adult and Get to Decide What That Means”: Mad scientist light switches
Today in that’s an excellent accessibility aid and I need the print file omg
Print file here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:649284
It’s got versions for several types of switches.
why does this have 32k notes? it’s just a picture of a knife in a ranch bottle, is there some unspoken joke that 32 thousand people share? what is going on here, i dont get it. it’s just a fucking picture of a knife in a ranch bottle. is there some spiritual connection people have to this picture? is there some ominous and mystical reasoning that this has 32 thousand notes? do people reblog this because it makes them look like some indie blogger? or is there just something funny to this? someone please explain
no one tell him
Scheduling this to post on March 15 because it needs to happen.
March 15 again and here we go…
So there’s this artist, Alex Schaefer, who makes a bunch of paintings of Chase Bank burning.
There’s just
so many of these
and I think it’s incredibly funny but
I just read this bit from the artist and
This is a "plein air" painting which means I set up my easel right across the street of this Chase bank in my city and painted it like it had caught fire. The police questioned me on the spot. Three weeks later Homeland Security was knocking on the door to my home. The question they kept asking me was "Do you hate these banks?" I can honestly say yes.
And I just think this is the greatest artist statement I’ve ever read.
By the same artist, this one’s titled The Bankers’ Hanging.
Mah peeps, do you think there may be a message here? :D

THANK YOU
Oh, go OFF!!!!
[transcript:
"This is how it feels when neurotypicals tell me to use person first language.
Actually, you can't call yourself gay. Oh uh, I would really prefer if you called yourself a person with gay, that way you're putting the person before the sexuality.
Actually, I don't think you should call yourself a short person. My child is actually a person with a height challenge, and I would really prefer it if you used person with height challenge rather than short.
I don't know, the word fan sounds really harsh. Can you just say person with interest instead? I just like the way that sounds more.
I don't know if you cashier enough to speak for the entire cashiering community, can you please use person who bags groceries and also scans them? No its not a mouthful.
If you can't treat me like a person because autistic is in front of it, maybe the word isn't the problem."]
Okay if anyone is willing to help I would appreciate it. Im in education and currently getting a masters in special education and we are constantly taught to use person first language. This is the first time I have seen anything saying the opposite and especially since it is coming from someone who is autistic I want to listen and take it seriously. Is the issue that people are correcting OP on using person first language themself, or is it just generally not liked by people?
Person-first language is kind of complicated, and obviously individual preferences vary. But in general, you should use person-first language when dealing with illnesses and diseases. You should not use it to describe an identity.
GOOD: “the person with schizophenia,” “parent who has an opioid addiction”
BAD: “lady of gayness,” “man with Jewishness”
People in the autistic and deaf communities tend to resist person-first language because many consider their condition to be a natural variation in human development rather than something to be treated or “cured.”
That’s the super-condensed explanation. But ultimately, WHAT you are saying matters a hell of a lot more than the order of words you say it in.
To me, autistic is simply an adjective. Person-first advocates will say "you shouldn't define yourself that way" and I say it's not a definition, it's merely a description - I'm tall, I'm blue-eyed, I'm queer, I'm old, I'm autistic, I'm exasperated.
"My child has autism" reads to me like "my child has cancer" or "my child has a bicycle".
I mean I'm diabetic and I hate forcing "person with diabetes" too. Diabetes is obviously objectively an illness and I'd certainly click a magic button to cure it without a second thought, unlike my ADHD for example, but it's a thing that affects a lot of my life. People telling me not to call myself diabetic sounds like "oh, actually, I want to pretend this isn't a serious illness that affects literally every moment of your life, and I want to pretend that you're lying and making up excuses anytime you mention that it's causing you issues and also you should just be better at """""managing"""" your illness."
But lots of other people with diabetes feel differently and would rather it be phrased like I did in this sentence.
So there's a couple guidelines I'd recommend:
1) Generally, mirror the language of the specific person you need to describe, excepting things like reclaimed slurs. If they correct you, accept it gracefully.
2) if you are writing something about them, like a blurb for a newsletter or anything and it's relevant, ask them directly what language they prefer. Only ask parents or caretakers if there's literally no way you can ask the person in question.
3) When you need to talk about full groups without a specific representative in mind, look to see what they call themselves. Don't rely on CDC or governmental guidance bc their guidance sucks. Try to see what self advocacy groups use, and avoid groups dominated by parents if at all possible.
4) if you ARE going to use person first language, never abbreviate it. Part of the point with person first language is for it to be a bit clunky, as a way to force people stuck in thinking patterns out of them-- for example, "unsheltered people" as opposed to "the homeless". The idea is that instead of conjuring up images an audience has previously associated with the phrase, you can short-circuit that and maybe make them think about how much it would suck to be without shelter. Abbreviating it takes away a huge part of the point of the person first language and is likely to cause you to do things like write "PWDs" instead of "people with diabetes" and "person with diabetes s" makes no sense and you should stop. It also indicates that, rather than using the phrasing to emphasize their humanity, you have instead just checked a box on a checklist.
5) don't correct someone about language they use to describe their own identities.
I’ve been waiting the fucking years for an appointment with adult mental health services for an ADHD diagnosis. Maybe once I finally get the help I need I’ll have the spare mental bandwidth to care about person-first versus condition-first.
Behold, I did an art! Specifically, character art of Morta, the protagonist and chief chaos muppet of my kids scifi novel-in-progress, Morta Felix. Her heart is in the right place; it's just a pity about her awful, awful brain.

Billionaire U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross says he doesn't "understand why" unpaid federal workers need money
U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross is puzzled as to why 800,000 furloughed federal workers need to visit food banks to keep their families from starving, when they can simply get a loan.
From Reuters:
Asked about their struggles, Ross told CNBC: “I know they are, and I don’t really quite understand why.”
“The banks and the credit unions should be making credit available to them,” he said, noting that the government would give federal employees back pay. “There really is not a good excuse why there really should be a liquidity crisis.”
Wilbur Ross is has a net worth of around $700 million, according to Forbes. Before becoming Trump’s Commerce Secretary, Ross was co-chair of the Bank of Cyprus, which is a laundromat for dirty Russian money. From The Dallas News:
The country of Cyprus has a long history as a laundromat for dirty money, particularly from Russia. Cyprus is referenced 530,937 times in the Panama Papers, and the Bank of Cyprus, the country’s largest bank, is referenced 4,657 times. And the cast of characters linked to the bank and President Donald Trump is troubling.
