"I'm autistic and I learned to compensate/mask my perceived social deficits in this specific way, and some of y'all don't do this, and it makes me annoyed and kinda pissed because *I* worked hard to learn it which now means it's hyper-noticable to me in others" is another

An adrenaline high can make u impulsive and makes complex tasks difficult to parse

Sudden strenuous activity can trigger an anxiety attack

Your sense of smell can be sharper or weaker at certain points of your menstrual cycle

Your self-confidence can be higher or lower at certain ponts of your menstrual cycle

You can crash from an adrenaline high

Being irritatable CAN be a sign of hunger and eating WILL make u feel better

You can influence your BPM with enough practice

There us a certain point in meditation where music stops sounding like music and is unrecognizable

People can tell you're watching them if your feet are pointed in their direction

If you don't look at someone when they're talking they sometimes forget you can hear

a) young children tend to do a lot of copying the behaviors around them, and

b) most of the people hanging around them are taking care of kids (them)

a lot of little kids REALLY want to take care of slightly littler kids. Today a toddler barely over a year old kissed a baby a couple months younger than him, tried to wipe his nose, and tried to feed him a toy apple. A couple kids older than Him then started trying to put him in a toy shopping cart to take him shopping. There's a 3yo who always tries to steal the babies' milk bottles to feed them. A 4yo tried to give a baby his own bottle once. A toddler too young to know any words yet will shush me if any of the little babies are laying down to sleep.

I mean it accomplishes getting them out of office, which is extremely fucking important, and then, yes, you have to keep campaigning and voting against them for the rest of your life. There is no one election that is going to #own the other party into not existing anymore.

We vote in every election forever. That is how this works.

Tree anxiety seems to be delighting people in the notes, so for the record it looks like this:

In this case, the whole row is freaking out. But sometimes you get a row where one or two are going 'OH GOD IS THE WATER LEVEL RIGHT' and all the others are like 'For the sake of Christ, Mari, would you calm down.'

Like this:

Some 23,000 antisemitic incidents were recorded in 2025 in the seven largest Diaspora communities around the world, about 14 percent less than in 2024, according to a new report. However, the antisemitic attacks last year included the murder of 20 people, making it the deadliest year for Diaspora Jewry in more than 30 years, according to J7 Task Force, an organization representing major Jewish communities across seven nations.

The countries covered in the report — Argentina, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the UK and the United States — comprise over 90% of global Jewry outside of Israel. J7, which was founded in July 2023 to combat rising antisemitism, reported the total number of antisemitic incidents was up 136% in these countries — including a 97% rise in violent incidents — compared to 2022, the year before Hamas launched its devastating invasion of Israel that sparked the Gaza war.

“Antisemitism in our seven countries is no longer a surge; it is our new normal,” the organization said in a statement. “Governments must stop reacting after Jews are attacked and start acting before, with real security funding, stronger laws and social media platforms that enforce their own rules.”

Fifteen Jews were murdered at a Hanukkah celebration on Bondi Beach in Sydney, two were killed at Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester on Yom Kippur, two were killed at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, and one was killed in Boulder, Colorado.

The figure was the highest since 1994, when 85 people — including 67 Jews — were killed in the AMIA bombing in Argentina.

“No country can fight antisemitism alone, and this report shows exactly why,” said Anti-Defamation League CEO and national director Jonathan Greenblatt, whose organization helped found the J7 Task Force. “This isn’t just an American crisis; every single J7 country remains dramatically above pre-October 7 levels. Antisemitism transcends borders, and our response must do so too.”

Last year, the number of antisemitic incidents rose 5% in the UK, 4% in Argentina, and about 1% in Germany compared to 2024, J7 said. The numbers decreased by 33% in the US, 20% in Australia, 16% in Canada and 16% in France, even as antisemitism became the “new normal,” it added.

Germany documented 8,725 incidents in 2025, marking a 215% spike over five years. That represented the highest per capita rate in the world, with nearly 70 incidents per 1,000 Jewish residents, as attacks by both far-right groups and far-left anti-imperialist networks surged. Researchers also flagged an accelerating erosion of Holocaust memory and awareness, particularly among younger demographics.

In the United States, 6,274 incidents were recorded in 2025, an average of 17 per day. Though the total number of recorded incidents fell 33% from 2024 as anti-Israel university campus encampments petered out, the number of violent incidents actually rose 4% to 203 during the year, the ADL has said.

The United Kingdom logged 3,700 incidents in 2025, a 64% increase over five years, according to data from the Community Security Trust. At a rate of 12 incidents per 1,000 Jews, that was one of the highest per-capita rates in Europe, J7 said.

Australia recorded 1,654 incidents in 2025, culminating in the horrific Bondi Beach attack, according to data from the Executive Council of Australian Jewry. That represented a 270% surge over five years, the largest increase of any of the seven nations surveyed.

In France, antisemitic incidents remained at a “persistently high level,” the report said, with 1,320 recorded acts, or more than 3.5 antisemitic incidents per day. The hostile climate has led many French Jews to conceal signs of their identity and question their long-term future in the country, the report said.

In Canada, 788 antisemitic incidents were recorded, as Jewish residents were targeted in the vast majority of reported religious hate crimes, despite representing less than 1% of the national population, according to J7. Anti-Jewish hate crime in the country has increased 153% since 2020, the report noted.

In Argentina, 713 incidents were documented in 2025, 4% more than in 2024, the report said. Some 62% of all incidents occurred online.

Ireland saw a surge in attacks between July 2025 and January 2026. During the period, 143 incidents were reported for the 2,200-person Jewish community, a rate of 65 incidents per 1,000 Jews. Despite the stark numbers, Ireland has yet to develop a meaningful governmental response, with no dedicated policy framework, national strategy or dedicated security funding for Jewish institutions currently in place, the task force said.

“In many comparable countries, these are recognized public responsibilities,” the report noted. “In Ireland, they continue to rely largely on the efforts of one of Europe’s smallest Jewish communities.”

The J7 Task Force called on national governments to not only throw money at security initiatives but also focus on aggressively prosecuting extremist networks, protecting civic rights at university campuses and workplaces and enforcing compliance with the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism.

Summer sees both a drop off in donations and, at least for our trauma center, a spike in traumas. Trauma centers across the US are in danger of running out of blood for our trauma patients TODAY, which is very scary but, unlike much of the other scary national news coming across our screens these days, is something you can help fix immediately and directly.

While O- is the most dire need as it can be safely given to anyone in an emergency, all types are needed! Our emergent release blood is being pulled for patients who have a high chance of death if they don't get blood within the hour. Once they're stabilized, they can have their type confirmed and get blood of a specific, matching type released to them so that O- can go to the patients who need it most.
