What's that? MAGA think he's a radical Islamist who wants to impose Sharia Law, force girls to wear the hijab, mandate reading the Quran in all public schools, and persecute every Christian on sight?

He was executed for his crime in 1985.

Part of socializing and having friends is being a good listener even when you don't actually give a shit about the subject.

Your are hurting other people's feelings when you bluntly respond with "Anyway..." and then change the topic.

It can not always be about your preferred topic.

Autistic mom of two autistic kiddos here. I do something with my kids called playing the good friend game. I have them ask me a question like “what did you do this weekend” and then I respond with something they don’t like ie: “I ate some sushi for dinner on Saturday! It was delicious!” Their job is to not make a gross face and not to yuck my yum. They have to ask me a follow up question! Minimum one about what I liked about the sushi or who I went with or what I ordered etc. and they have to be kind. I change up what I answer with for the initial question and for all follow ups. It’s incredible!

You can learn how to chit chat about things because you care about the people around you. Small talk is banal and boring but the people in your life are real and lovely and nuanced. Get to know them. You can do it. You’ll build relationships that last. Don’t do it for the sake of small talk. Do it because you’re deeply invested in learning how to see the people around you as whole pictures.

the long and short of it is, we’re about $750 away from having most of our immediate/future needs met, such as beds, mattresses, desks, kalen’s meds appointment and the meds themselves, as well as decent working phones that we’ll be able to pay the monthly bill for ourselves, we just need help to afford the taxes of both phones as well as actual beds/mattresses, etc.

I personally would REALLY like to be able to have a quality bed, because this one is juuust short of being classified as a medieval torture device for two, and after spending a week with a similar bed while involuntarily committed to a psychiatric facility last week, I really need something better.

Please donate/boost if you can, this should be the last of our big ticket needs, and $750 will cover all those things, so please help us cross that (ideally final) hurdle asap.

Thank you <3 ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷🤍🩶🤎🖤

In case anyone hasn't heard, the cyclospora outbreak affecting tons of people in the US right now is coming from Taylor Farms produce. Best to stay away from bagged lettuce and prepared salads completely right now, but especially the ones mentioned in the screenshot:

Taylor Farms Earthbound Farms Little Salad Bar (Aldi) Marketside (Walmart) Kroger House Brand Target private label greens Costco salads and greens etc Trader Joe's chopped salad kits and fresh produce Fast food: McDonalds, Taco Bell, (Yum! Brands), Chipotle, Subway, Pizza Hut, KFC, Olive Garden, Top Golf, Red Lobster, Burger King, etc.

This is not the first time I've heard about a Taylor Farms foodborne illness outbreak. I stopped eating their salads after reading a description of the conditions in their facilities. Doesn't sound like they've improved anything.

Oh baby, I REALLY dont want to be in this fandom.
