My mother - 91 years old - suggested a mobile guillotine service was needed, to get rid of all the predatory men fucking this world up.

I love you, mum ❤️

#PhantastikPrompts 22.03.: Stell uns bitte das letzte Phantastikbuch kurz vor, das du gelesen hast.

"Impossible Creatures", Auftakt einer Reihe von Katherine Rundell. Ich lass einfach mal ein Zitat aus dem Buch da, für das ich es liebe: "... sometimes, if you are among the very lucky, a spark of understanding cuts like lightening across the space between two people. >>

what we thought we knew about autism and... whatnot

'For decades, researchers had been measuring the wrong thing. Conflating communication style differences with empathy deficits produced dramatically inflated effect sizes and an illusion of empathy impairment'

Good morning. I just wanna say I don't wanna be, never expected to be, the guy who cares so much about Canada Post. My granddad collected stamps and that's probably my closest connection. I barely am able to send christmas cards each year from executive dysfunction, so it's not like I keep it afloat (except we do, our tax dollars do, we WANT our tax dollars to do so).

It's just that I know history, how before there were things like Canada Post and libraries and public services if you wanted to do something "fancy" like read a book or send a letter you had to beg and pay a lord or other rich person to let you do it. So mostly you just didn't. You didn't read a book or didn't send a letter. Instead you worked the land owned by someone else to make them rich and then you died.

So when public systems are eroded, I sense a return to the age of "you work the land to make someone else rich until you die." and that's not acceptable to me.

So, I care about Canada Post. Damn.
