9 December 1942 | A Dutch Jewish girl, Florence Vigevino, was born in The Hague.

In February 1944 she was deported to Auschwitz with her mother Mietje. They were murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

First to make a few things clear:
I am autistic myself.
And I have a fairly good understanding of what those kids might go through.

What if they actually _like_ analyzing data and all that? Computers be damned, they're just tools, doesn't mean humans can't have a shot at it too.
Sometimes I am hyperfocused myself, then I make ridiculous lists of lists and whatnot. Waste of time? Oh, _absolutely_, you bet! But was it satisfying to me? Oh _yeah_!

They'll have plenty of time to learn how to socialize, but does that mean you need to put them in a fascist regime that only forces them to socialize and never have _fun_?

After one evening of socializing, I'll be _happy_ to have 3 weeks of no human contact. I don't hate humans, it is just that social contact is _utterly exhausting_.

Maybe try to understand _that_.

Man, fuck ‘grind culture’ and everybody who glamorizes it.

People need to stop putting value on working so hard they destroy their brains, their bodies, and their relationships.

Just do what you have to do to enjoy what little time you have in this world.

Never forget that you are amazing.
You are loved, valued and appreciated.
You are worthy of all the good things in life.
The world is better because you are in it.
You are capable of achieving great things.
You are special and deserve to be celebrated every day.

Now 🔁 and share the ❤️

Grateful for the hard work of the Biden Administration to bring Brittney Griner home.

BTW, John Hawkes has an infmrative blog post on the evidence for fire in Rising Star, and I think it started to answer some of my questions. Not all, though. It's worth a read.

Some 232,000 children up to the age of 18 (216,000 Jews, 11,000 Roma, at least 3,000 Poles, over 1,000 Belarusians & some Russians, Ukrainians & others) were deported to the camp.
