My Son: Natarāja with South East Asian characteristics lies next to bombshells from 1969. Huge craters lie next to where the ancient Champa kingdom - that ruled these parts from 8-14th centuries - built vast temple complexes comprising of Sivālayas and much more.
But the forest, the temples and bombed craters are all protected by UNESCO, and are being restored with an international team consisting of archeologists from India & Vietnam and funding from Germany and Netherlands.
the first thing I do when I get a new phone is turn off audio and haptic feedback ... the scene where O'Brien is trying to move the space station made me realize that #StarTrek would be hell for me @actuallyautistic
I literally just opened Geometry Dash and was met with a terms of service pop up.
"…Why are they showing me this? Did my data get wiped or something?"
And then I see the Tower and realize that 2.2 just released.
Glad to finally see it here. Played through Dash (which is really easy for an insane imo, beat it much more quickly than usual), and it was mostly great! Only issue is that I REALLY don't like the swing copter. It's not fun to use at all.
@juggles
Can't say I'm great at it either. Honestly, platformer game type is a weird concept for Geometry dash, but I don't mind it. The way different game modes are incorporated into it is really fun though
@theautisticcoach@actuallyautistic And also having told our mother that - ie. a) thanks but no alcohols, because else burnout - I want to take care of my health and b) I dont want to be ill for 2 weeks after thanks to having aquired several respiratory diseases (eg. the flu, covid, etc.) while traveling about 1000 km across the country and back. by train. 2/
And then actualy ENJOY vacation time till the 2nd of january. Like for the first time in years to mentally IGNORE all potential work related stuff. Just relax. Do a strim. Rebuild and fiddle around computers. Maybe take a walk or two. Travel by bus to places and walk around there. All that :) 3/
@fdroid Why do I need to click an extra button in the updates screen to show which apps have updates? I already went to this screen, and it's an extra step for no apparent reason.

From Along the River During the Qingming Festival 清明上河圖. Version claimed to be Song Dynasty, but likely to be a late Ming forgery. Held in the National Palace Museum, Taipei.
Time for the usual daily #anime#manga#DecRecs, and today I'm gonna rec Pandora Hearts by Mochizuki Jun.
Japan loves Alice in the Wonderland, and this is another tale with a twist on it. Our main character, Oz Vesalius, was told that his entire existence was a sin during his coming of age ceremony and was banished into the Abyss where creatures called Chains exist. He meets Alice, one of the Chains in the Abyss, made a contract with her to help her regain her lost memories and then together they bust out of the Abyss into the surface/normal world and found out that ten years have passed.
It's very hard to describe the plot... But the series starts off immediately intriguing, and there are lots of mysteries to unfold. Also, there are lots of heartaches and paaain... But the ending is satisfying, imo. And the art is very pretty.
I'd recommend not watching the anime until after you read the manga because the anime is not great (please, someone, readapt it) but the music is great (well, it's Yuki Kajiura) and the cast is A+.
I’m rewatching Elementary and I’m on season 4 where they introduce the autistic character Fiona Helbron. While I like some aspects about the character, I don’t like the trope that it is impossible for an autistic person to tell a lie. I’m lying. #ActuallyAutistic@actuallyautistic
@autism101@actuallyautistic yeah she never passed the smell test for me, even though I had not yet been diagnosed as autistic when I watched it. She was too extreme

@vsnmaryland This is the same judge who issued the injunction it looks like?
Alston issued an 18-page opinion Tuesday evening to lift the injunction. He said the allegations that the removal efforts amounted to grave desecration “were, at best, ill-informed and, at worst, inaccurate.”
Aight, good to know he's changed his mind.
Some of the figures also on the statue include a Black woman depicted as “Mammy” holding what is said to be the child of a white officer, and an enslaved man following his owner to war. ... He noted that the statue depicts, among other things, a “slave running after his ‘massa’ as he walks down the road. What is reconciling about that?” asked Alston, an African American who was appointed to the bench in 2019 by then-President Donald Trump.
If I were this judge I'd be kicking myself for issuing the injunction in the first place. What craven ghoul would defend this rock?
