I appreciate this video from #SciShow about some autism research that actually seems non-ableist and grounded in reality. And nice that the presenter #SavannahGeary (they/them) identifies themself as autistic in the intro (funny how they are my favorite SciShow host).

TLDR: Neurodiversity is the thing that makes humans humans (what I have been saying for a while)

Now that we see SciShow can make a good autism video, can we get them to take down that terrible autism video from April two years ago and have Hank Green apologize for promoting ABA?

"- but it was music & sometimes that's enough!" 💛

Under Stalin people literally risked their lives for music - and now it's being outsourced to machines, to shit out an endless stream of soulless filler noise. Doesn't seem right, does it?

Also, yes, this means Soviet music dissidents invented the flexi disc.

(also-also, @slyka you will probably like this, on the off chance you didn't know already 😁)

Oook‼️ ‼️

One for #GNUTerryPratchett fans who also have a fondness for our Orangutan cousins over the years I have come across several things in #Discworld books that you would initially think of being from pTerry's fantasy imagination but turned out to be references to weird #RoundWorld realities he picked up in his wide ranging reading research but I am not sure if some of his fans in the science community named the librarian Long Call after his death or if it was named before & it made it into the Long Earth series & we only now are beginning to understand the recursive complexities in the language of a fellow ape & he extrapolated it early. Anyway some in the above Venn diagram of interests might enjoy the #SciShow linked below.

I always laugh when someone - in scifi or real life - talks about how much more sophisticated & complex technology is than biological systems 😂
