i learned that the Hawaiian island of Kauai encourages tourists to check a dog out of shelters for a day as part of a field trip for dogs program. Having the dogs out and about gives them exercise and increases their chances of getting adopted by a local (x)

so much positive media about gay men takes the form of coming-of-age stories about young people, which is fine, but not enough about unapologetically flamboyant men over 70

Abortion Clinic Employee Shares How Some Pro-Life Women Act When They Come In As Customers
I am not surprised that anti-choice zealots would hypocritically obtain abortions, but I am thoroughly fucking shocked that they wouldn’t even attempt to hide their anti-choice views when doing so.
Read “When the anti-choice choose,” a collection of anecdotes from abortion providers about serving this kind of patient.
i vote that in the next star trek film instead of having another female strip down to her panties and bra, jim kirk should strip down to his panties and bra.
The same thing happened when Airbnb started as “you got a spare room? why not rent it out to a visitor for a few nights? you get some extra cash and they get a nice place to stay while they visit the city” and it immediately turned into “I’m gonna buy up every available unit in this condo building downtown and rent them out short term, contributing to massive rent increases, severe housing shortages, loud inconsiderate assholes treating places where people are supposed to live like cheap no-restriction hotels, and then bitch and moan when Airbnb gets banned from my building before just continuing on anyway”
Love how a lot of “autistic parenting problems” can get fixed by just using your brain:
“my autistic child doesnt like hugs” so don’t hug them, that will be 150 dollars
“My autistic child had a meltdown in a busy grocery store” so don’t bring them to a busy grocery store
“My autistic child is a picky eater” So give them the food they like but also encourage them to try new food in fun positive ways
“My autistic child only want to wear the same shirt everyday” so let them wear the same shirt everyday
“My autistic child claims loud noises hurt their ears.” So turn the goddamn noise down, Susan!
some of this definitely tracks but a lot of the time it’s not as simple as that. if you’re a single parent with an autistic child, and you can’t afford childcare, you can’t just leave your kid at home alone while you get food. sometimes taking children to places that they don’t like is 100% necessary. however, something that might help in this situation is giving the child clear information beforehand about what is going to happen, letting them know they are heard, and telling them exactly what is expected of them and how long it will last:
we have to go to the grocery store. i know that you don’t like it there because [anything they have said before about why it makes them upset] and i don’t either, but we have to do it. we are leaving at x time, so you have until then to [transition from what they were doing before]. when we are there, you need to walk next to me/hold my hand/(maybe give them a task such as counting how many types of fruit they can see in the store, a small activity to do, or a stim toy. keeping them grounded and entertained is good). it will take y amount of time, and then it will be over and we can come back home and you can do z [special interest related activity or other reward that will recharge their nd batteries after a draining experience]
autistic children grow up to be autistic adults. sooner or later they will have to go into a grocery store, maybe on their own, maybe every week, for their whole adult life. acclimatising them to knowing how grocery stores work from a reasonably young age, helping them learn that grocery stores are not scary, and that if they are scary they are at least endurable and that trips there don’t last forever, is going to be far more effective and helpful in the long run than simply teaching children that if they don’t like something they don’t have to do it. coping strategies are far more useful than avoidance for situations that are necessary.
i am saying this as an autistic adult, who was an autistic child, and who has very specific difficulties with grocery shopping myself, before anyone comes for me calling me neurotypical or whatever.
also like some of this is advice is coming from a nd frame of reference and leaves out the part we’d find obvious that parents actually need advice on.
“my autistic child doesnt like hugs” so don’t hug them, that will be 150 dollars
is missing “but do find out how your child DOES communicate love, such as doing activities with them or frequently using affirming words, please for the love of god dont just not communicate with them just bc your first option didnt work”
honestly, that last part is so important. discussions about accommodations get so combative that people end up talking past each other without actually solving the problem to anyone’s satisfaction.
on international women’s day don’t forget the day was started by jewish socialist women & immigrants striking against unfair labour conditions and the first marches that began the international women’s day movement were organized by socialists as well. it isn’t just some uwu solidarity good feel day, it is explicitly a day to talk about labour, to show solidarity with working class women, to strike back against capitalism, and if your women’s day organizing leaves behind women of colour, immigrants & jewish women, focuses on how women should “lean in” & acquire corporate power over others, you’re fucking up bad.

It’s always funny to me how الله is translated as “Allah” instead of “God” so that intentionally or not (and I suspect more intentionally than not) it ends up sounding like Muslims worship some other, alternative monotheistic God of Abraham. A different one.
Anyway what I actually think we should do is just start doing this for every language. Have news stories talk about how Notre Dame is a cathedral where French Catholics pray to their god, Dieu. There’s a schism between the Russian and Ukrainian churches even though they both worship Bog. Etc.
