The most blatant and yet pervasive lie is that neurotypicals are well-organised. Complete fabrication! Neurodivergent folk will send you all the info. More, actually. In advance. They're probably sending it later than *they* had planned, but still earlier than NTs. NTs just *seem* more organised because they don't stress about it because they themselves don't care all that much about timely information.

There. I said it. And I stand by it. Get it together, NTs!

Native Americans are asking The Apache Software Foundation, "…to take the necessary steps needed to express the ally-ship they promote so deeply on their website, to act in accordance with their own code of conduct, to “be careful in the words that [they] choose”, and change their name."

It'll be a big change, but IMO one that's necessary and overdue.

Has Niagara Falls ever froze?

Yes! The falls completely froze once and has partially froze a handful of times!

On March 29th 1848, millions of tons of ice blocked the flow of water from Lake Erie to the Niagara River. The entire Niagara River was basically left dry and the water left trickling over the 3 falls had become frozen solid completely.

Since 1964 an ice boom has been stretched across the mouth of the Niagara River at Lake Erie to prevent too much ice from building up.
