Autistic people like myself have been shouting this for years, and we get shut down left and right. Every single country that ABA is active has Autistic operated orgs and groups that have been pushing for the banning of the practice, but we aren’t listened to. We can’t outspend Autism $peaks.

It’s wild to me as an Australian that Americans just don’t eat lamb, it’s so good

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

Anne Rice vampires sparkle! Lestat talks about his diamond skin he has to powder. I think it’s hilarious

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

Saw Good Boy, it was such a good movie. I had to go home and hug my own good boy after though

That sounds right to me! I find bitter really intense so I don’t like bitter things (probably body) but biting into a mushroom makes me feel like I want to remove my mouth (probably brain)

As someone who has a pretty intense food aversion, I do wonder If that would carry across, like is it a brain thing or a body thing

Leah Jaclyn @leahjaclyn.bsky.social · 7d

Maybe? I guess it depends on if it’s a chemicals in brain or thoughts in brain problem!
