It's especially sad to me, how apparently common it is for some people to think autistic/neurodivergent people are lying or trying to manipulate them when they're actually being radically honest— it's just "too" honest for them to identify or accept.

It's sad that their honesty is considered "radical" relative to neurotypical society, when it would in nearly all cases be healthier and better for everyone to be more open and honest with each other.

i think we also need more compassion for those of us with higher support needs who have difficulties communicating and understanding things, with or without an intellectual disability. i get made fun of a lot for not having “proper” communication abilities that “match” my age and for not understanding “obvious” concepts/jokes that to me were not obvious at all. please have kindness for autistics who have difficulty with things you don’t. even if you are also autistic.

Despite trying to hide the fact that he has emotions, Logan was still quite clearly pleased when Virgil was revealed once he was calmed down from his panic, after years of being surrounded by extroverts it was nice to be able to finally interact with another introvert, even if his main function (paranoid and irrational thoughts and actions) seems to directly oppose him

Shoutout to all the other disabled leftists with cognitive symptoms who cannot read leftist theory. You are not less of a leftist, or less of an activist.

Honestly, just sending love to all the leftists who haven’t touched the heaps of theory out there. Reading theory isn’t required to be a leftist. If you’ve got a grip on your core beliefs (e.g. anti-capitalism, anti-fascism & anti-racism!) and do your best to help others & follow those beliefs? You are doing so well. You don’t need to read complex theories to stay true to your basic beliefs and follow them with your actions. So, we are sending you love and strength. 🙂‍↕️🫰.

(This is not saying reading theory is bad/unhelpful/useless- just that a lot of it is inaccessible! Folks who cannot access clear & digestible information about leftist theory are still leftists. That’s all this post is saying.!)

absolutely unhinged scenario where beren and luthien finally pass in the way of men, gently and together and in love, ready to embrace the unknown— and wake up in the light of laurelin. Obviously, in the classic way of beren and luthien, they proceed to accidentally fuck up the first age in new and interesting ways.

intuitively chomskyian linguistics in general reminds me strongly of string theory (cf this Zompist post). research into the fundamentals of language, like research into the fundamentals of physics, is hard. you have to gather tons of data. you have to explore theoretical realms which we only partly understand (it's even worse in linguistics, because cognition is probably much more poorly understood than QCD). it is certainly possible to get locked into an insular and self-referential project of building elaborate and beautiful theories which because of their infinite flexibility need never tangle with the mess and fuss of actual experiment--to say nothing of making useful predictions--but i don't think you should confuse this with actually, like. discovering new facts about the world. although at least chomsky's program is mostly an indulgence that has consumed only him, MIT, and his immediate followers; string theory on the other hand seems to have devoured almost all of theoretical physics.

They don't make pills for that...

One of the less talked about hallmarks of schizophrenia is the cognitive aspect. Typical antipsychotics work on D2 receptors, atypical antipsychotics work on serotonin 5-HT2 receptors, and both do an ok job at managing the positive symptoms of schizophrenia.

There are no pills for cognitive impairment. There are "cognitive enhancement" medications, but they are rarely, if ever, prescribed to people with schizophrenia, and their effectiveness is debatable.

There are things like diet and stress management (difficult when one eats the same thing every day for fear of being poisoned) that can aid in cognitive functioning, but there are no "magic" pills that "fix" the issues. Supplements are good, a balanced diet is good, but the problems with cognition and executive functioning persist.

Skill-building techniques help with the cognitive aspects of schizophrenia. Tasks that train working memory, processing, organization, attention, reasoning, etc. can help build up the pathways in the brain to support executive functioning skills.

While everyone's situation is unique and some people's symptoms are much more severe than others, people with schizophrenia do have the ability to learn and develop new skills. Just because it may take us longer than the average bear doesn't mean we can't do it.

It wouldn’t be a good thing and would certainly throw a catastrophic wrench in everything but the next 12-15 hours would be the absolute funniest time for Joe Biden to go on tv and say “actually I’m a Trump supporter now, after hearing about all this for so long I’ve come around to it and think I’m voting MAGA 😎”
