Basic needs = Food, Connection, Affection, Attention, Closeness, Freedom...
Basic needs - not just rewards or incentives...
Food, Connection, Affection, Attention, Closeness, Freedom...
...are not just rewards.
They are human needs, and the birthright of every child.

#AmeliaEarhart's pre-marital letter to George Putnam
#Marriage #Relationships #Career
Transcipted ( also in #AltText )
" Dear GPP
There are some things which should be writ before we are married--things we have talked over before–most of them.
You must know again my reluctance to marry, my feeling that I shatter thereby chances in work which means most to me. I feel the move just now as foolish as anything I could do. I know there may be compensations but have no heart to look ahead.
On our life together I want you to understand I shall not hold you to any medieval code of faithfulness to me nor shall I consider myself bound to you similarly. If we can be honest I think the difficulties which arise may best be avoided should you or I become interested deeply (or inpassing) in anyone else.
Please let us not interfere with the others' work or play, nor let the world see our private joys or disagreements. In this connection I may have to keep some place where I can go to be myself, now and then, for I cannot guarantee to endure at all times the confinement of even an attractive cage.
I must exact a cruel promise and that is you will let me go in a year if we find no happiness together.
I will try to do my best in every way and give you that part of me you know and seem to want.
A.E. "

Caring people is what props up life, "Evil" (even luke-warm evil) is what happens when people don't do the micro-caring or expect it to work without them and without trying to a higher level DAILY
@marc_w Ah but it's NOT that though and said with love let me clarify:
You can't have people or humanity not worrying about anyone else. That means people worrying (having consideration) about me, you, AND marginalised. Without that it's never going to be healthy good stuff going around.
⬆️
More on that but that's in short ⬆️
If you don't care or expect little responsibility over 'all' humanity (everyone or let's say all around you) then you LEAVE it to others and whatever chance / evil (even 10%+ evil) would grow again to what we have now... it's a constant learning/re-learning and teaching/re-teaching process filtering it out / maintaining. So that without PRACTICE or doing then all thatnaturally dies or lets cancer or the weeds grow over the people... until finally they do something (which is now overwhelming but they will soon get micro-caring is what counts and is the better gate-keeper / caretaker).
Caring is a constant torturous thing and while evil is bad itself, it's actually evil or even lesser-evil that is made FROM people that don't care so highly or ride life too care-free.
I don't know you so this is not as personal as I'd like BUT I HAVE GOOD FRIENDS and they do next to nothing- let me rephrase that.... they do fuck-all to do with anything human and you have to wonder about the luke-warm person head-down tech person working for capitalism or whatever feeling it's ok to justify a beautiful "life" obviously going downthe toilet... and they're just time-dumping on machines and disposable code and it's not just capitalism / industrialisation's fault. It's more life an ostrich putting head in sand and even having the cheek to defer responsibility to say "I have kids, I don't have time" as if it's not the same thing to have healthy humanity and others than are not going to landlord and rape their children's ass. Pardon my directness but you and I feel it the weight of being taxed to death - let's not pretend in front of the kids for this "fairytale" people like #GretaThunberg say they were born in and not enough even to be richer and paid for. #Nature and it's #Wildlife is being erased and concreted over - for stupid / less-caring people frankly. Not workable / only gets worse that way. Best time is now to care...
Happy to help IF really you want help... else this should be caringly direct about your comment.
So you're sentiment is nice but not human so I must correct it's *not possible*... unless you want the same illusion as others want and think they can get away with calling that life or stewardship of this ship and it's crew (ALL of us).
So in short again: people's caring is what props up life and guess what happens when people don't or expect it to work without them or without trying?
I know people don't care to some levels (I've spent my life trying / asking / observing / living it).
Having to care and being "too tired" (etc etc excuse while I'm sympathetic) means they are not working on what makes them tired to 'at some point' fight for themselves or everyone else (on any level more than 0 across the board).
This "world where I didn't have to worry about you" is exactly part of the problem (or space to improve if already do some stuff)
my thanks and said with love/respect.

Spreading the word via Audio intro / Reading?
@KatyElphinstone I'm genuinely interested and recently thinking I am on a lot of spectrum(s) I see. These new words or way of being is what I'd like everyone to understand as "fabulous" yes more than strange.
So I'd like to ask, what about a audio intro to book - I can edit an audio for example if you add it here and send me recording link (its very simple and safe):
Also a audio ping- pong exchange can be send (don't mind sending you something0 and then edited into a mini-interview or conversation best-of?.
I can do all the audio edits and send a preview whatever feels right. Cancel it at any time.
Rather than online interview (don't have high speed net at the moment) sending some smaller audio intro is always good so consider it
I'd like it to be Fediverse only and not used on steroided commercial places so that's a bit of a condition... (I do accept people /sellers need to use these things but aim for better) and we can see what happens as a result.
The main reason is to get understood (myself and others cinluded) and words out... so do an intro, maybe some reading of it - whatever you like.
Thanks .
Linux - another Playstation TV❓ ⌨️ / 🎮 ❓
3 Main reasons / similarity in how people use things:
1/ 💻 NON-HUMAN #interaction
💻 ➡️ Head- down coding?
Near-100% screen life? Mono-work?... tweaking, installing, reloading, adding, add-ons etc, re-installing windows to a certain degree but on a better #windows ?
2/ ⏲️ HUGE #time dumps or "time investment" / projects
⏲️ ➡️ Time dumps because measurably you have time voids at the end... often nothing actually comes out of the things and what we might genuinely want to happen but doesn't.
Apart from using it it's just usage of computers (even if you do a bit of good consider it's nothing ,much added humanly or solved as far as the human condition or psychology of "bettering people:" or "caring"... (which I understand nobody wants to do like kids deferring / delaying their responsibility or homework of life).
3/ 🙍SOLO #WORK mostly
🙍 ➡️ You're mostly in your room or office without interacting with others and even losing your ability to talk to others from lack of #human #practice / have been trained / paid to become distant.
🙍 ➡️ (e.g. short text comms only, expecting others to be succinct instead like a computer instead of human-expressive 'horrible syntax' and instead have signals become expected operation commands rather than sensitive / empathetic being and feeling with others towards solving humanity to some degree, humanly.
🙍 ➡️ i.e. Humans solve humans, not computers or robots and there's no avoiding or delaying that.
=====================
SUMMARY -
SO A LOT IS MY OPINION BUT....
=====================
Go ahead, load up...
While accepting some unsaid parts here are _maybe_ doing "good" it does sound like me when I asked my parents to get my first computer "you can do so much" abd yes sending helpful emails etc is part of it too and good... but still a lot has been too mixed in (like check mail on a playstation) and constant distraction (like being on internet itself to some-extent) forgetting what we loaded up to do constructive to us or others... lots in tabs as the games.
It's like we're still teenagers but with slightly better brand / labels.
I understand #Linux is an #OS and #Playstation a graphics orientated #console (with an OS also) but the behaviour and operation mostly similar to how we use a computer - basically doing really similar... for arguably similar outcomes... to spend time.
I do respect the whole ground we've all made to some extent... some job... but feel like everything can become computer orientated is a problem left unchecked, like another bad habit (see above list again and answer honestly yourself even if you don't).
This is self-check somewhat but feel free to tell me what you and others are doing more than a kind of " #TV time " as #Computers and #Computing.

@flowerpot Let me know 2 things if you can:
1/ What self-tests you consider good.
2/ How it your quest to find help works out
Thanks, I think it can help young people though I'm cautious how uncaring systems would use this as you say about ABA (don't know about it but can imagine).
So something more official or from specialist can be used in a good way and way less offering our children for selling medication etc or an exploitative level of "your ill' and 'you need our treatment'...
Anything on that welcome... thanks
@yuliyan Haven't seen Seinfeld too often but enough perhaps to realise th slightly dishevelled / crazy look or behaviours were of deliberate interest to normal people who probably have or see similar things we all have... and what I like to think of more normal than not, and reflect it's just today's 'normal' that has been sterilised or too narrow.
@yuliyan The alt text is fun to read as much as the picture and says:
Scene from the 90s comedy sitcom Seinfeld showing Jerry Seinfeld's flat.
His neighbour Cosmo Kramer is spreading coins on a round table searching for a quarter.
Cosmo fell in love with the feeling of freshly warmed clothes from the dryer. The dryer in the basement of the building operates on quarters. Cosmo can't get enough of it.
Right next to the pile of coins there is a half bit red apple which Cosmo is biting into occasionally. Jerry stands next to him and asks him why he's doing this on his table and not on his own.
Cosmo Kramer replies "I don't have a table.".
Self-fulfilling prophecy and example statements...
💬 "It's too much to change"
💬 "I don't have time"...
💬 "I can't do anything about that"...
And while time is needed to think about things etc and even accept taking the long way around to solve things, people who are too quick to say all the above have settled for allowing things to be bad too and constantly let them continue instead of being constantly open or attacking to find a crack.
Like it or not this lack of looking is somewhat part of the problem too.
We people (#autism / #Neurodivergent or otherwise) can't stand or allow that like a mechanic who knows you can't ride around with leaks for too long, and can even admit they are not a perfect mechanics either, but we all MUST try (and not just try in one way or mono-work as that's part of the non-cross-pollinating solutions).
Else we leave it to others to crap on.
This "being crapped on" position is much more evident then any of our 'bad work'.
The average person simply doesn't want to take on the sort of things and even get pissed off at others asking them to be more responsible in life!
🔁 🔃 #Life #SelfFulfillingProphecy 🔁 🔃
#WhatGoesAroundComesAround (and what doesn't go around often also comes around less often)
A good friend replies to almost everything...
But at the same time it's hard to survive whole-truths or being too deep in 1 way constantly.
It's like facing the horror humanity at the same time as trying to make friends.
A rant can feel like it's directed personally at friends and feel like having wheels without grease that people want to instantly throw away, but after a rant things can instantly return to normal (IF they can ride the noise for a while). And then back to the normal greased-wheel fun AFTER.. Not many can stand these frequent "test"
For us the "un-normal" or those the less hiding ourselves and less burdening others in this crazy world, we are trying to repair or help in the over way, where many opt out of trying at all... because "it's too much change" and "I don't have time" ETC whereas we can't stand or allow that self-fulfilling prophecy and can even admit we're not perfect but we MUST try else leave it to others to crap on.
So too much truth can kill things between 2 learners of life... but that's life too.
Both outcomes are actually not bad as a little test of friendship is natural to come about but at the same time having lots of non-deep friends can help too be less sharp...
What do you prefer ? Do you think your friends will be actually stay there even if you say something bad or do the worst things?
I have to accept for example that I don't have too many friends as I prefer working on true things in life rather than false daily life of "business as usual" uncaring state (etc)... rather than cover it up...
This for me all connects the little things we might know about #AuDHD #Autism #ADHD #Neurodivergent people or just characteristics more in some spectrum than another but all should be good because generally:
➡️ We care a lot and often (often 'too much" for others)
➡️ We put certain aims above all else
And for some people it's not good enough to be put 2nd on the important list or be less the focus but in a way those 'other things' are caring for others though people can see friendship as possessions. It's not. Life is for sharing... good and bad.
@MooseAllain Also think it's fine as it is but like @pseudomonas / Adam's post and especially the part to consider having a style for captioning which might not need a total change or relearning.
Try even different hand position or even just bigger font (lots of comics have so you can read even from thumbnail or wordpress reduced image size,
Either way I like that it's from you.
P.S People don't usually complain or want to correct / risk saying things . use their time constructively - so I wouldn't gage things on that so much for feedback (people don't complain directly even if done wrong over money etc!). Just my observation that I risk it and that's why I have no friends but tell the true of reasoned sorts...

"Free School" is a term for a movement born from the 1960's / 70's using educational living & learning practice towards #Caring & #DIY with all others (all at the same time - not an after-thought or specialism in 1 field or person who is a #compartmentalised person ignoring others in other fields). Caring to involves more things, increasingly aiming towards everything...
Posts are 1-line #Notes and #Quotes that links all other things (it's all relative).
Long comments use CW to shorten post vertically and add a 'show more' button to reveal more text if you want it. Long posts might seem bad but it's giving chance to more connection and understanding.
All things towards #Freedom (life moving from Shorter to Deeper thought).
Freedom doesn't come from short-depth lifestyles / short lines of text / ignoring / #inaction. Not less communication between lovers of similar things. MORE!)
#FreeSchool = Learning Together 🔁
#FreeSchool = Working Together 🔁 (eventually + I do Free work for Freedom.
#FreeSchool = Co-Operating & #DIY Solutions 🔁
See My #FreeSchool (Hashtag) for latest examples anytime. Or keep open and refresh from time to time:

TLDR - Inaction = Fascism
Trust comes from "slowly but surely"... Doesn't have to be all-in, but peace doesn't come from one-way short messaging on 'social' Mastodon either - collecting memes and cats only is limited!
Remember we need develop better humans as well as 'develop' code on computers etc.
☮ Peace needs more... even to save all types of cats!
Get in touch - I'm someone that cares for everything because it's all human-related...
Human #chats welcome - I using #Jitsi audio chat which uses JUST browser (ANY PLATFORM + 2minutes to enter !)
(i.e. no-install / no account / no google / instant / privacy-respecting / safe-enough, etc!) Really the best out there - any platform / device! Instant audio chat !
Just ask for a link and prepare a few topics!
#AltText used (when I remember).
FREE WORK - I do free audio and video editing (anything considered - just ask).
Again - Creating Trust needs a bit of trust given "slowly but surely"... not all-in... being relaxed about it... but has to be more - 'working' like a 2nd job towards peace because your job isn't going to do it / it's now allow by State to get there! War increases prices etc ☮
So do "peace" as a side-job like it was your real job in the world, parallel to the Capitalism (Trap) you (we) were born into. We have to accept that and fight out of that and not be comfortable in it.
Heart and Soul all the way.
