I’m tired of people acting like if an employer discrimates against you as a disabled person or violates the ADA you can just take it to HR or get a lawyer and sue them. I took my complaints to HR and was told to shut up or leave. If I pursue it further I either lose my job or risk making my job even more miserable due to retribution from management. Neither of which are survivable for me as a disabled person. Yes there are laws in place but the system makes it impossible to enforce them in any way and punishes the people who try. I am totally powerless in my position and my employer has made it clear that I am disposable.
As funny as this is, as someone who has met a European badger, all I can say is at least the American one has the decency not to hide the fact that it will tear your kidneys out via your toes if you so much as look at it funny.
The Earth is not warming. The White Cliffs of Dover are tumbling into the sea and causing sea levels to rise. Global warming is helping grow the Antarctic ice sheet.
Those are some of the skeptical assertions echoed by Republicans on the U.S. House of Representatives Science, Space and Technology Committee yesterday. The lawmakers at times embraced research that questions mainstream climate science during a hearing on how technology can be used to address global warming.
A leading climate scientist testifying before the panel spent much of the two hours correcting misstatements.
The purpose of the hearing was to focus on how technology could be deployed for climate change adaptation. But the hearing frequently turned to the basics of climate science. Many of the questions by Republicans and Democrats alike were directed to Philip Duffy, president of the Woods Hole Research Center in Massachusetts and former senior adviser to the U.S. Global Change Research Program.
Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) questioned Duffy on the factors that contribute to sea-level rise, pointing out that land subsidence plays a role, as well as human activity.
Brooks then said that erosion plays a significant role in sea-level rise, which is not an idea embraced by mainstream climate researchers. He said the California coastline and the White Cliffs of Dover tumble into the sea every year, and that contributes to sea-level rise. He also said that silt washing into the ocean from the world’s major rivers, including the Mississippi, the Amazon and the Nile, is contributing to sea-level rise.
“Every time you have that soil or rock or whatever it is that is deposited into the seas, that forces the sea levels to rise, because now you have less space in those oceans, because the bottom is moving up,” Brooks said.
Duffy responded: “I’m pretty sure that on human time scales, those are minuscule effects.”
Brooks added that Antarctic ice is growing. That was true a few years ago, and scientists say it does not disprove the theory of global warming because different factors affect the Arctic and Antarctic rates of melting.
“We have satellite records clearly documenting a shrinkage of the Antarctic ice sheet and an acceleration of that shrinkage,” Duffy said.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t know where you’re getting your information, but the data I have seen suggests — ” Brooks said.
Duffy answered: “The National Snow and Ice Data Center and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.”
“Drowning is the leading cause of death for children with autism”
AREN’T STATISTICS INTERESTING
Also that bullshit statistic about ‘Nearly half of those with autism wander or bolt from safety’ like:
When does this occur? Bc I’m presuming that in spite of acknowledging ‘autism is a lifelong condition’ they’re only taking into account autistic children, in which case – i’d say about half of all children ‘wander or bolt from safety’ at some point bc children are little shits. Wandering off and distressing their parents is something children do.
How can an autistic adult living independently bolt from safety?
How is ‘safety’ defined in this instance? How is ‘danger’?
Bc based on the above examples of Autism Parents, what’s to say that autistic child isn’t bolting for a bloody good reason?
Since I keep getting anons WRT multisexuals being able to use the terms butch + femme and positivity posts I’ve made for multisexuals who use these terms, I want to address that:
Now here’s the deal I’ll make with anyone who comes to this blog and takes issue with my posts: if you can refute these sources and provide me with actual evidence showing that the information is all bullshit and that multisexuals without a doubt have zero rights to use these words? I will be absolutely be happy to hear you out, read whatever sources you provide, reconsider my position on this issue, and apologize if I was wrong.
However anyone who comes into my ask box to complain without any legitimate argument + sources that show that multisexuals have no right to use these words (which “lesbophobe go die” does not count as, jsyk) is getting instantly blocked and I’ll be adding 10 positivity posts for butch/femme multisexuals to my queue just for you.
Deal? Deal. 🤝
multisexuals and queer men have been using butch and femme for a long-ass time. and hello, the standard “asshole gay” dating site marker is “no fats, no femmes”

This offer is still on the table, my pals.
Let me just casually bring this back around for y’all since I get a flood of asks ‘correcting’ me about who is/isn’t allowed to use the terms butch and femme literally every time I make a positivity post about the terms (none of which, btw, have had countersources – still waiting on those).
Also a reminder to y’all to read my byf/faq before you send in asks. This post was linked there, literally under a header that says “call me out”. I mean? 🤷
This is still so weird. Less than ten years ago, my gf and I called ourselves a butch/femme couple. We were both bi and both were open about it and NO ONE SAID SQUAT.
