@likewise @bookstodon I am such a huge fan of the Brontes. Is Bronte named after any particular Bronte?

    I am super excited to get back to the beach - I am hoping to take some decent lightning pics over the Gulf of Mexico while I am there.

    Just got this ad on FB.

    Regardless of the content, this falls into the category of

    "I have a secret foolproof way to make endless money, but somehow I need you to pay me to learn my secret and become my competitor, thereby endangering my own secret business of foolproof endless money"

    so it should be obviously a scam to anyone who thinks about it for a few minutes.

    AfD-Abgeordnete von Storch mit Fäkalien beschmiert

    In Daun in der Eifel haben am Freitagabend etwa 100 Menschen gegen einen Auftritt der AfD-Bundestagsabgeordneten Beatrix von Storch demonstriert. Ein Mann beschmierte die Politikerin mit Fäkalien. Er wurde von der Polizei überwältigt.

    Ich weiß, es freut -entgegen der eigentlicheen Auffassung von Recht- irgendwie schon, sowas zu lesen...

    Aber denkt denn niemand an die armen Fäkalien, an die Beatrix von Storch geschmiert wurde?

    I haven't mention it to a lot of people around me. I said it toy parents and my sister. Part of my family learned about it when I went in the local news/at the radio.

    I don't disclose it in general. It's not by fear of the reaction. I don't care about what they think.

    It's private and not public like my gender, my sexuality, etc. I don't mask even in public. I stopped for my mental health and to be myself. But, I will not write "I'm an autist" on my head.

    I prefer to choose who I will tell I'm an autist.

    @Autistrain @markusl @jenandra @hosford42 @Tooden @andrewporter @cwebber @ginsterbusch @dpnash @actuallyautistic @neurodiversity @pathfinder Yeah I need to be more selective too & I do consider it personal & private as soon as I respond to the inevitable "So what do you do?" I have to tell them before they say something ignorant or offensive. It has many upsides too in that it's led to many people realising they or someone they know is autistic. Which brings me great joy & them a lot of answers.

    @markusl @Autistrain @jenandra @hosford42 @Tooden @andrewporter @cwebber @ginsterbusch @dpnash @actuallyautistic @neurodiversity @pathfinder Really glad your wife is supportive 🙏 might I suggest you actually be selective with who you disclose to? I do so with abandon because it's now my field of work but I have a friend who never tells anyone she's autistic & after years of people patronising me, denying me work opportunities, suggesting I'm violent or a maths whiz or "you don't look autistic" I very much understand why.

    Disclosure is a personal choice, you don't owe it to anyone & if you do expect people to either not care, not understand or even worse think they understand.

    @sentient_water @markusl @Autistrain @jenandra @Tooden @andrewporter @cwebber @ginsterbusch @dpnash @actuallyautistic @neurodiversity @pathfinder I would say, dip your toes in before you decide to swim. There are pros and cons to disclosing or not. They will be different for each person, whether we are talking about the person disclosing or the person being disclosed to.

    I mostly throw the doors wide open. I get a lot of relief out of living authentically. But there are still people I won't tell, because it isn't safe. And which people are which can be very surprising and difficult to learn.

    @starwars THE POETRY OF STAR WARS. Emperor Palpatine's Speech to the Senate in STAR WARS: THE BAD BATCH is written in 9 enclosed quatrains where there's a rhymed couplet sandwiched in between an unrhymed couplet. So the rhyme scheme is this: abbc, deef, ghhi, etc...If I were to perform this poem, I would speak the rhymed lines with great volume and tone than the unrhymed lines and put a brief pause between each stanza.

    Shear Joy

    You might have heard of wind shear, but have you ever seen it?

    is one of the windiest places I've ever been, particularly on the south coast where this shot was taken. The clouds are clearly showing an abrupt change in wind direction with altitude, commonly known as "vertical wind shear". This was not a day for driving around safely!

    @DVM_vet @histodons @militaryhistory I was thinking the other day about how the Nazis occupied Italy after its surrender to the Allies is seemingly forgotten history.
