Now there is a real risk (due to climate change) that mosquitoes are moving north and bringing dangerous diseases with them, people with power are finally waking up it seems.

The Barbie Phone is better than modern smartphones because it has a microSD card slot, FM radio, user-removable battery, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

I agree here, what is wrong with clear, concise instructions that get to the point, e.g stack chairs over on that side of the room, 5 high.
I am not autistic, I object to autistic friendly shopping hours which seem to have :-
Lower lighting
No tannoy blasting out loudly
Lower volume on tills (beeping etc)
No Music
How about making that the general policy of opening a store, it would make going in to some supermarkets a far more pleasent experience, for everyone not just those who are autistic.

@Melissabeartrix It was a valuable early lesson acquired at relatively low cost. That lesson being: anyone can be misgendered, and society exacts harsh retribution/consequences on those who don't perform gender "right," and that's NOT right, so we should all band together to destroy gender-normative & binary-gender expectations, norms, rules, and laws.

I would hope that this learning would end up in the camp training manual so other staff are more aware the side effects of medical treatments ( I am dropping down geerally here ), there is also a condition called alopecia (probably bad spelling) that causes hair loss so being aware generally is helpful.

This has been the case from the start.
Good idea

Ah just re-read that and it makes sense. So interpret something to fit the agenda, not much different to other religions than.

My painting today is another wet in wet, painted on a flat table top. Wetting the paper on both sides helps a lot, but it’s tricky because I had to continuously dry the underside of the paper. Thin mixes helped make the under painting and the trees in the distance, and thicker mixes helped make the foreground. #watercolour #watercolor #art #MastoArt

"What’s been really striking this year is that while traditionally deep distrust of the mainstream press has long been the province of right-wing Republicans, now it’s liberals who once cheered for the media to do better who seem to be giving up on them."

"Prophet Muhammad(sa) declared, "It is incumbent upon every Muslim male & every Muslim female to attain education." His wife Ayesha was a leading scholar & jurist. His final words were "women are your committed partners." Not servants—PARTNERS.
"
So what is the response from the Taliban when this is pointed out to them? They claim to follow Islam and the teachings of Muhammad and yet they deny Woman and girls the right to education and other rights, which is in clear violation of the religious values and teachings they claim to follow and protect.

In Afghanistan, the Taliban's Minister of Education has announced that girls' schools are likely to remain closed permanently.
As a Muslim let me be explicitly clear. This is apartheid, vile, & inexcusable.
Prophet Muhammad(sa) declared, "It is incumbent upon every Muslim male & every Muslim female to attain education." His wife Ayesha was a leading scholar & jurist. His final words were "women are your committed partners." Not servants—PARTNERS.
Taliban terrorists are a stain on humanity.

Good read 🤔 How Meta enforces purpose limitation via Privacy Aware Infrastructure at scale. “At Meta, we’ve been diligently working to incorporate privacy into different systems of our software stack over the past few years. Today, we’re excited to share some cutting-edge technologies that are part of our Privacy Aware Infrastructure (PAI) initiative. These innovations mark a major milestone in our ongoing commitment to honoring user privacy.
PAI offers efficient and reliable first-class privacy constructs embedded in Meta infrastructure to address complex privacy issues. For example, we built Policy Zones that apply across our infrastructure to address restrictions on data, such as using it only for allowed purposes, providing strong guarantees for limiting the purposes of its processing.”
