A friend of mine is teaching a college class and wants to make sure they are engaging and accommodating a mostly nonverbal student.

It's an in-person class, and they don't have access to details about what this means specifically, but wanted to make sure they had someone with personal experience helping them research possible accommodations. They will pay for your time and expertise.

Soooo who knows or thinks they can find resources or information on how to make sure an in-person class is accessible? Please share this for better reach. I would especially love to be able to refer them to someone who is personally nonverbal.

I will reply to this with the exact text of their request.

Loin de moi l'idée de minimiser les risques de guerre plus large, mais à force de crier au loup...

For those of you shyly peeking out of your eggshells and questioning your #gender ...

You don't need dysphoria to be #trans.

You don't have to "pass" to be trans.

Most cis people don't question their gender. If you think you're trans or gender non-conforming, you are. Explore your options. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

You don't have to "flip" your gender to be trans. The white stripe on the trans flag represents #nonbinary people!

ALL trans peeps are valid.

Why building it because we (think we) can is a bad idea.

"Study finds if we have a mass global takeup of autonomous vehicles, the powerful onboard computers needed to run them could generate as many greenhouse gas emissions as *all the data centres in operation today*"

This! So. Much. This!

So, finally, Musk's minions have acknowledged why they locked out third-party Twitter clients: The purpose is to force users onto Twitter's own website and apps.

Remember, they lied earlier to justify killing off the competition, claiming violations of the rules. Since there were no violations they could point to, they rewrote the rules.

Anyone who trusts Musk and Twitter at this point is willfully stupid.

Hey, bestie! Let's start a healthy trend!

If this post ends up on your timeline, stop what you are doing! Take a deep breath, and slowly exhale. Give yourself a few minutes to be alone with your thoughts and remind yourself that this world is better with you in it! ❤️

Do you feel better? If yes, boost this post and help it reach more people who may need the same reminder!

Personal social revelation of the day:
The reason I like platforms that give me the ability to “react” with an emoji is at least twofold:
1) when other people react to my words, without adding anything further, it gives me a cue that the conversation can be considered gracefully closed (at least for now)
2) if it seems like a conversation has reached the “battling to get in the last kind word” stage, it gives me a way to get in one last kindness, without further belaboring redundant verbal pleasantries.

#ActuallyAutistic people sometimes need to spend time actively thinking about this stuff.

Well, tech layoffs just hit me 😑

I guess let me know if you hear of any science communication jobs

Fast Fashion Facts:
- We buy 60% more than we did in 2000 but each garment is kept for half as long.
- Of the billions of clothing items made each year, over half are thrown away.
- The fashion industry employs millions of people but only around 2% earn a living wage.
- 60% of clothes are made from synthetic fabrics derived from fossil fuels.
- The production of textiles produces almost 1.2 billion tonnes of CO2 per year.

@fssofdeath @simonforgues tant que l'argent restera un but en soi, et que son accumulation sans limite sera observée, mesurée, et malgré tout glorifiée, on n'est pas près d'avoir une once de pouvoir là-dessus.

Comme pour l'environnement. Notre bac à recyclage et notre vélo ne sont qu'une goutte dans l'océan comparé aux vrais pollueurs...

Et vous savez quoi? Ce sont les mêmes coupables dans les deux cas.
