Hey you!

You made it through the longest night of the year.

And your light is needed here now, more than ever.

I told DH about this and mentioned Shropshire. I don't pronounce it the British way since I grew up near a 🇨🇦 Shropshire Road. He recently watched a thing about towns with shire in the name, so I had to hear about that. 😜😅

And please remember: Autistic wisdom, in this case about understanding and respecting varying autistic energy capacity—applies to ALL autistic people, *including* those with intellectual and/or communication disabilities. It is self-defeating for " #ProfoundAutism " parents to ignore such insights.
"One thing non-autistic people are prone to underestimating, in my experience, is the energy cost of just getting places and existing in those places and then getting home again, readjusting to that, and navigating all the transitions in between." At TPGA:

On “Energy Budgeting” and Acknowledging Internal Autistic Realities
All humans deserve to be able to do energy budgeting in ways that make sense for them; for autistic people this should be basic decency.

*day 32 of learning German*
Duolingo has a bunch of lessons about train travel in Germany and they're all about trains being delayed or cancelled. That matches my experience 😂
I'm so curious about whether the lessons would include those things if I was learning Japanese instead.

Someone told me this morning "The only thing I use ChatGPT for is writing Christmas cards" and honestly that's more offensive to me than most of the other abhorrent things I've heard.
If you're gonna let a stupid robot pen your 'personal' holiday wishes I'd sooner not get a fucking card.

PSA: We heard about this thing called ENCHANT out in Arcadia. It's billed as a holiday lights thing with food, mini golf, a ferris wheel, a maze, ice skating! Sounds fun!
The reality: you pay over $40 to walk around a parking lot carnival with hour-long waits for everything.
It's terrible.

I read this story earlier this morning, and it's horrifying. The panopticon is here.
Unlike many of Flock’s cameras, Flock’s Condor cameras track people, not vehicles.
The exposure highlights the fact that Flock is not just surveilling cars—it is surveilling people, and in some cases it is doing so in an insecure way.
