This is my shouty, political, #neurodivergent account. My (slightly more professional) artist profile is @Cognissart
I mainly lurk, boost and comment. Maybe I will craft an original toot now and then

Art can improve your mental health. The state of Georgia (our home state) just passed a surprising resolution affirming its benefits.

We are fast approaching the anniversary of my brother and nephew's deaths.
So I am going to take this moment to ask you all if you have planned your escape route from your house in case of fire. Do the kids know the plan?
Is the battery working in your smoke alarm? Is there even a battery in your smoke alarm, or did the beeping annoy you?
What will you do if your stairs are alight?
If the grandkids are staying over, do they know the plan? Which adult is getting which child?
Where do you keep your house keys at night? Could you find them if there was smoke and fire?
Do you shut the kitchen door when you go to bed? That was what the fire brigade said would have made most difference for my family.
Do you turn electrical appliances off at the wall, especially the ones you bought from somewhere online?
Have you walked through your escape plan? You need muscle memory to kick in when the panic of an emergency situation hits.
Please, if you could think about these things and make changes if you need to it would mean that something good has come from our tragedy. I never want anyone else to have to go through this.
Bertrand Russell on fascism. Sound familiar America? No secret strategy.
"The first step in a fascist movement is the combination under an energetic leader of a number of men who possess more than the average share of leisure, brutality, and stupidity. The next step is to fascinate fools and muzzle the intelligent, by emotional excitement on the one hand and terrorism on the other."
People who say autistics have no empathy have no empathy for autistics.
The music literally hits all the right notes. And it's why RIAA and a bunch of studios and music groups are suing the AI services that people are using to make these songs for theft.
It's a valid concern. But on the other hand, so much popular music is already mechanized w/autotune & beats.
And if you are a musician who doesn't fit the corporate mold, you'll never get anywhere unless the algorithm gods rescue you.
