  • Happy May Day! I volunteered at a community pancake breakfast

  • What is May Day Strong, the ‘no work, no school, no shopping’ protests against Trump?

    Jump

  • I don't disagree on the latter point. That said, the national call for no work and no shopping is primarily what organizers call a "structural test": are we able to gather support? How many people actually participate? Is our infrastructure, such as strike funds, able to sustain an action? After all, how can we possibly manage more extreme actions (eg, a general strike) if we can't even handle one day of not working?

    Secondly, May Day's economic disruption, small-scale though it is, is an escalation from simple protests. I expect that actions will continue to escalate in the coming months and years.

    Jump

  • Busy day for me. Weekends tend to be.

    Sunday is...not exactly meal prep day, because that implies that I'm making whole meals. But I do have vegetables to pickle and some leftover cheese to turn into a sauce that'll freeze well. I plan to have mac and cheese, slaw, and airfryer "barbecued" chicken later this week or next week.

    I also have errands, and I'm meeting up with some coworkers to discuss ongoing unionizing efforts.

  • Pro life tip: use a seamripper to remove clothing tags

    Jump

  • Depending on the fabric, placement of the seam, discomfort caused by the tag, and whether you have access to a sewing machine, whether or not it's worth undoing the overlock seam to remove a tag and then mending the new hole varies. Personally I've left these and removed them on different garments.

  • Pro life tip: use a seamripper to remove clothing tags

    Jump

  • I've never used nail scissors, don't know. Before I realized I could use a seamripper I cut the tag itself as close to the seam as possible with ordinary craft/paper scissors.

  • Like many people who identify as autistic, I never received a formal diagnosis. There are various reasons for this phenomenon: autism being historically overlooked in women and people of color, in the US restricted access to healthcare due to costs, and of course the stigma of being any flavor of neurodivergent, to name a few.

    I suppose that the characteristic I noticed first was social awkwardness, as I have never fit in with my peers long before I understood why or even heard the word autism. But my journey to self-identifying as autistic was many years, and my RAADS-R score (taken online, without direction of a medical professional) was the thing I could look at as as external, relatively-objective validation that yes, I am autistic.

  • Anyone else struggle with maths?

    Jump

  • I was the opposite. Math was, if not easy, then simple. Every math problem has a specific set of steps you take to solve it, and a single objective answer. Unlike literature, there's no room for differing opinions or interpretation. It meshed very nicely with my black-and-white worldview.

  • Well, I'm definitely aware that I'm autistic

  • question about RAADS-R

  • I voted early yesterday. They give you "i voted" stickers in the US when you vote. Kiddo came with me and excited to get a sticker.

    Today I'm working and later I have martial arts practice. My teacher wants to do some work with bo, which will be a nice change from the sword work we've been doing lately.
