As if adolescence as as agender, ace, autistic people wasn't confusing enough every day all the time (esp. before anyone talked about being any one of those things...)

During high school there was pop sci thing going around that people said if you sustained eye contact for a certain about of time it either meant the person wanted to have sex with you or fight or something that... I just remember thinking, great, more reason to avoid.

It would nice if some of the online relationships could be IRL friends, but people are scattered everywhere. And I live very far away from everywhere.

The magical correct use of eye contact. Also sucks if you come from a culture where young people show respect to elders by not looking them in the eye like an equal & then you get to school & get in trouble for being disrespectful. [Not my experience, but another cultural thing about eye contact]

These are many undergrads who don't realize they know autistic people... some sitting next to them. Or in front of the class. Or their relatives.

We have a xmas adjacent parade where people put lights all over floats and it is general quiet and takes place after dark -- that's my type of parade. Every emergence vehicle at once is... I don't even know.

Also, won't take my local GP for granted. All her staff are masked all the time. And they won't let you in the office without asking some triage questions and checking your temp. Then there is big sign on the door that says, "We have masks if you need one."

How can I tell it's the parade started? Because every damn siren the town has is going at once - fire, rescue, police. Why?!??! Oh, and fire works too, even though it is bright a day out.

Through my childhood, on election nights, my dad was the man under Peter Snow’s desk putting interesting facts on notecards into his socks. That’s how it was done before Google, kids. You got a very clever ASD man with some Oxford degrees to just remember interesting constituency histories.

Aquariums should have the coolest tshirts and sweatshirts ever because of all the animals that could be on those shirts. And yet, no. They don't. Pay some artists to do beautiful and interesting designs.

Not to be corny but I do think the ongoing aspiration to make America a pluralist democracy of equals is righteous, beautiful, and worth honoring, even if it has more often been the struggle of minorities & dissenters than the policy of the government. 🇺🇸

I remember the first time I got caught in a lie when I was little. [One of those it is obvious to the adult things.] People lie and there are rules about when it is wrong vs don't get caught vs expected (white lives, etc.) These are part of life.

The huge mussel spatfall in the Wadden Sea caused a feeding frenzy of sea stars and crabs! Likely within a few weeks most of the mussels will be eaten or washed away by the tides.

There are kidlit ones and some academic ones too. I like how the conversations take place in channels so if you want to avoid politics or focus on specific thing or chat about whatever - there are places for that.

How else will we get our next generation to overwork & extend their hours if not for getting them used to homework? Then we can badger them as adults to do more to mind their work/life balance. /sarcasm/

I teach an undergrad class which focuses an overview of Community Mental Health and related systems(the big view) -- and if you teach something like it this podcast (6-7 episodes) is accessible and solid. From what I can tell students are appreciating it.
