so, I learned that #threads can not only get your posts, even if you blocked them (via different servers that didn't and that store your posts cus people there may follow you or interact with you), they can also monetize those posts by showing ads next to them. Thus making money off of you. Put that together with all the genocidal and fascist and other harmful activity. It makes me think that the #enshittification of the #fedi has begun. The cycles seem to move faster and faster. I love it here and I've had many elightening convos and beautiful connections. Today I read that 41% of servers have blocked threads. Maybe there is still hope.
Esp. the neurodivergent community on here is the best I've ever experienced. @actuallyautistic
The good solution is a total defederation of the fediverse. It's letting threads be its own bubble. It's highly unlikely that it will happen. The other answer could be to break the fediverse in two with on one side the federated and threads in one bubble and the defederered in another.
Thought. I have always run warm. I do feel the cold, but not as much as most people. I hate (detest?) overheated department stores. This got worse with the onset of perimenopause, & I was unable to wear jumpers for years, because I couldn’t get them off quickly enough during hot flushes, which threatened spontaneous combustion. This settled somewhat after finally going on HRT.
I’ve noticed a change since going on ADHD meds. I now wear winter pjs on a “cool” summers night, & a nightie on warmer ones & am more likely to don a jacket of an evening.
@Susan60@actuallyautistic Interesting. I always blamed my bad temperature regulation on my fibromyalgia, but my hands and feet are cold and within the past few years, if my hands get cold doing farm chores, then they HURT SO BADLY like stabby hurt. I keep the heat down and especially in my office cabin, on days like today (45ish) if I get cool and stay cool then I get stomach aches. I can't do heat at all anymore, but too cold is not good either. I'm like an M class planet, I guess.
@Susan60
Before I got fibro, I was always warm. Except for hands, feet and lips in winter as I have Raynauds.
But since the fibro I do feel the cold sooner and find it harder to warm up. Still, 18 degrees in winter (in the home) I wear a sweater, 18 degrees in summer, I wear a t-shirt.
Haven't been on adhd meds very long so don't know yet if they will make a difference in winter and summer. 😊 @actuallyautistic
W tym roku było wiele, ale „Fizyka smutku” w czołówce. Gospodinov bierze znany mit i robi z nim co chce, wykorzystuje go do rozmyślań o dzieciństwie, samotności, wojnie. Dekonstrukcja, zobaczenia mitu od innej strony, zobaczenie go w innych realiach.
Właśnie, wojna, to jak o niej pisze jest jednym z najlepszych i najbardziej poruszających wątków o wojnie.
Sięga do filozofii, innych pisarzy, historii, tradycji, języka. Podziwiam intelekt i wiedze Pana Gospodinov.

When #autistic adults begin their journey of unmasking and honoring their autistic selves there will often by those pushing back and trying to keep us down.
@theautisticcoach@actuallyautistic This very thing ruined one of my relationships when I learned that I was autistic. I made every effort to salvage it, but it was very clear that they didn't like the change in my behavior. I am fortunate that I had the wisdom to know that it was not me who ruined the relationship, but their inability to see that I am still me, only that I am now a more authentic me. It hurt greatly to let them go, but I knew in my core that it had to be done.
It will hurt to face this kind of opposition from people that were your friends, but being true to yourself is worth it. I promise you, it's worth it!
@theautisticcoach I am definatly happier being my genuine autistic self.
I definitely lost friendships, and whole communities, because they refused to accept my genuine autistic self. I cried myself to sleep many nights, having many nightmares as a result of their defiance, and the loss... but I am, overall, happier.
I gained friendships afterwards, who like me as I am.
Please be yourself.
Be kind to yourself.
Keep going.
Road is rough but I feel better overall, everyday. @actuallyautistic
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
