#herps Baby salamander from the dried up vernal pond. Brought 6 or so back to hopefully grow up. They were under a large rock at the lowest point where there was still a little moisture. Everywhere else was dry.

That is called the idiocy loop. Each automated system says to contact another automated system. This is how you rack up $500 FCC 502 failures to redress grievances at an alarming rate.

#actuallyautistic Learning new languages. As things sprout, bloom, present berries I'm using more Lushootseed words when I'm outside talking to plants. Yet when my wife asks what the dog is getting into I call the food composter the "spinny food garbage thing" lol Then I forgot how to say thank you

I just applied for a position that opened at Emerald Downs. I hope I'm not replacing a missing person sad 😢 OTOH if I get the position it will be my first job not working for the white man as it's Muckleshoot owned.

Horse racing industry braces for crackdown on illegal immigration
Horse racing depends on thousands of workers without legal status, and industry leaders fear that Trump's soft touch toward the industry in his first term will not persist in his second.

Texting / email is equal to calling or walking in. What you have now is not equal to calling or walking in. Forms to nowhere, chat based systems etc... are problems.
Texting / email is equal to calling or walking in. What you have now is not equal to calling or walking in. Forms to nowhere, chat based systems etc... are problems.
Pro tip: If you're autistic, you might find that complicated conversations go better over text.
Texting gives you time to choose your words, process your emotions, and prevents allistic people from disregarding your words to focus solely on your body language.

@jamesgunn.bsky.social Wow, how dare you make Superman human. He doesn't feel pain at all, certainly not in his heart and soul. No wincing at all! I mean, humanity is the literal soul of Superman. Don't bend to the can throwers, that was a beautiful moment. That was soul pain, not physical.
