I don’t care how many times this appears on my dash I must reblog it every time.

If you, for any reason, require a crochet fetus-
Well my friend, YOU ARE IN LUCK.
I can do that!I guess if you want to cosplay Selyse Baratheon…?
Oh God, the below was not the kind of reaction gif I was looking for, but it just felt so appropiate in a really BAD way.

2 things about bi erasure:
1. The idea that bi people are just straights experimenting/being fickle/trying to look cool because most self-id’d bi folks end up in hetero partnerships. PLAY THE NUMBERS. Most people are straight. Most bi people want love.
2. The idea that all self-id’d bi men are just gay and taking too long to come out. Maybe we should instead talk about the fact that especially for men/boys, coming out as gay is directly associated with literal physical danger.

[W]hen we launch in a territory the Bittorrent traffic drops as the Netflix traffic grows. So I think people do want a great experience and they want access – people are mostly honest. The best way to combat piracy isn’t legislatively or criminally but by giving good options. One of the side effects of growth of content is an expectation to have access to it. You can’t use the internet as a marketing vehicle and then not as a delivery vehicle.

This this this!
What I download goes down dramatically as my access increases! I downloaded a lot of stuff when I was living in a rural area before Netflix started. Now that Netflix streaming is available, as well as Amazon Prime Instant, I download dramatically less. I live in an even more remote area now where video stores are nearly 30 miles away and Redbox is almost 20. The closest movie theater is a crappy 3 screen that barely shows what I want to see. Even PBS is impossible to get where I live, so most of what I do download is currently airing TV shows. And I know that my access compared to that in other parts of my state, much less the country, is great.

Google Earth Engine is a joint project between Google and NASA that allows anyone access to a 30 year time-lapse of the surface of the earth. I made a video about how amazing, terrifying, and important it is.

Two things. Not the same.
I hate talking with teachers about Student’s behavior and how best to facilitate interaction between him and other students.
It always goes something like this:
Teacher: “Student started helping a classmate with a problem, but when the classmate still made a mistake, Student yelled at them that they were lazy and must not care!”
Me: “Ok. That happens because Student doesn’t have an intuitive knowledge that what he’s thinking and experiencing is not what someone else is thinking and experiencing. It’s extremely difficult for him to put himself in someone else’s shoes.”
Teacher: “Oh, right. See that’s the compassion thing I was talking about—”
Me: “NO. Student has compassion, we see that in his eagerness to help others.”
Teacher: “Yeah, but the empathy just isn’t—”
Me: “NO. It’s not empathy he’s lacking. He just has a shaky understanding of other people’s consciences, can’t accurately guess what others are thinking, and therefor tends to assume others know what he knows.”
Teacher: o_O
Me: “So, in the situation you’re talking about, Student noticed someone struggling and thought he would give them his knowledge so they would know what to do and not have to struggle. But once he told them what he knew, he assumed they now had the same understanding he had. So when they then make more mistakes, he assumes they’re doing it on purpose or refusing to listen to him.” So, you see he cares, he just gets frustrated and misreads others’ motivations due to his disability.”
Teacher: ….
Teacher: ……..
Teacher: “So how can you get him to care about other people?”
Me: *self-immolates*
This is a perfect illustration of why a lot of Autistic adults like myself maintain that it seems to be Allistics, not Autistics, who have difficulty “caring about other people”.
