I was able to make an autistic teachable moment today. On my favorite YouTube vegan cooking channel, someone made a comment. They explained that they have to mute the sound for all of that channel’s videos because the cooking prep sounds are overwhelming. They even apologized for this. I adore the channel creator, but her response was to thank for their honesty.

We shouldn’t have to apologize for our needs, and so this wasn’t honesty. I was able to raise sensory sensitivity in the autistic experience and what it might involve.

I hope this might’ve been a small step in educating on our lived experience.

Recycling bin update: apparently "urgent" and "dangerous" don't mean what they used to mean. As of 20:00 this evening, still left on a dangerous tilt, only now with new garbage strewn around on the ground. 🙄

This would be an excellent opportunity for a rogue physicist or engineer with a spare plaster store mannequin to demonstrate the astoundingly bad things that could happen from this configuration. 🙄😱

Too many people in this country have no idea how #elections work and this leads to confusion and mistrust. This is a #TeachableMoment. While we are being inundated with political mail, where is info from SOS and Election Boards on the basic processes: signature verification; address verification; what happens to a ballot once it's cast; how is the vote tally checked, etc.? Most of Donald and Rudy's 60+ lawsuits failed bc they didn't understand how voting works.

#TraceLysette’s ‘#Monica’ is a reminder that #trans #experience is so much more than a #teachablemoment

This #story of a #trans #woman returning #home to care for her #ailing #mother is a #claustrophobic, #emotionally #intense look at #family and #closure.

Anything but #football today: I #TakeAKnee and #BoycottNFL; it has been thus for years and likely will be permanent. Spending this regular old Sunday in a super way -- with my granddaughter. We're playing with Tigré (the dog of #peace and #love), and having our own #Rihanna - #antiracism - #teachablemoment dance party.

#HappySunday, all!

Yes there was a bit of colour and contrast bumping in LR obviously, but what I'm saying is that if a hack photographer like me can get a shot this good on a £90 camera while being mobbed by brusque Germans, if you ever have a moment of self doubt, just keep at it, keep any camera you have at hand ready, and look for opportunities. #TeachableMoment #DontListenToMeImNotAMentor
