#ActuallyAutistic I respectfully request your feedback on this section in my forthcoming book on street performing. You write about the intrusiveness of eye contact, I listened, and this is my effort to educate trainers of musicians and actors to honor diversity and stop insisting on "eye contact" as the magic trick to win friends and influence people.

Here is my poll posted on my 'big account'.

Q & A on Assistance Animals: Emotional Support, Service Dogs and Housing Accomodation - The Basics of ADA and Fair Housing

1. What is an assistance animal? An assistance animal is a type of animal that provides assistance or support to individuals with disabilities. There are different types of assistance animals, including service animals and emotional support animals. Service animals are trained to perform specific tasks for their owners, such as guiding people who are blind or have low vision, alerting people who are deaf or hard of hearing to sounds, or providing physical support and stability for people with mobility impairments. Emotional support animals, on the other hand, provide emotional support and companionship to individuals with mental or emotional disabilities, without necessarily undergoing any specific training.

The debate about QTs is interesting because as far as I tell, all sides are correct.

• QTs let you introduce a topic to your followers w/ tailored commentary (Black Twitter is the best at this)

• They bring fame & attention to the worst people in the world

• They cause dogpiles

• They’re a great format for humor, which 🦣 needs more of

• They are often performative dunking “look at this loser”

• They let you address a side issue or add a different perspective w/o derailing the primary convo

Due to my poor grammatical construction, I need to clear up that it is my dog that is actually a pit bull. Although some people might say that also about the District Attorney, in another sense...

My #servicedog has been at the county board of supervisors many times. Once, when I returned to my seat, the District Attorney was sitting in the next seat over. She was totally cool with my #dog. Even though she is a #pitbull.
Image: Dog walking on beach, looking on the sand , trotting parrallel to the shore, Her shadow is prominently beneath her, almost as if a separate entity.Her head appears almost as large as the rest of her, but cuddlable and friendly though guarded. Adorable head to toe.

Feedback encouraged - A more accessible basic article on #serviceanimals which leads into more complex topics. Realized I needed to write this intro after writing a complicated article on #fairhousing #accomodation

Follows on Medium much appreciated also https://medium.com/@theghostoftomjoad/1-what-is-an-assistance-animal-9b8354d20ad7

Hey, friends: If you're still on mastodon.social or mastodon.online, you're about to lose track of weirder.earth, and other servers to follow soon. It's for the safety of our comrades: this is the quieter, kinder part of the fedi where we walk away from instances that can't or don't control harassers.

I know a lot of you still on mastodon.social and .online are newcomers who landed there because so many other instances have closed to new accounts. Please take this time to explore the fediverse and find somewhere with more reliable moderation. The move-instances tool works pretty well these days!

Upon further news of journa[.]host banning a trans journalist for calling out insufficient moderation action against transphobic posts on their instance

we reiterate that journa[.]host is a threat to safety on the fediverse, especially of marginalised voices and identities, and recommend an immediate #FediBlock
