like... just not having to bring up, much less explain, cptsd because the other person can talk about their own self-work... at this stage in my life, meeting new people again, i really appreciate that the @actuallyautistic and ND community writ large is figuring out our shit and healing.
For a long time I've been bothered by problems with the Paradise Lost #wikipedia article. Periodically I go try to improve one section or another, but I feel like it needs a group effort. Do I know any Miltonists or #Milton sympathizers interested in a mini editathon?? or Milton haters if you've got the receipts!

@medievalists Interesting article, & use of DNA analysis! Chess pieces made of horse, cow & deer bones - and "fashioned by groups (of pawns, of rooks, of bishops and knights and of queens and kings), which testifies to planned, routine activity, probably in a specialized workshop."
@josephcox This also affects science - when you visit the website of the journal "Nature", sources like Bidswitch and Pubmatic are installed. So researchers are in the view of this shady company and its customers.
"I guess everybody felt like if they did the work and enough people did the work for personal development that somehow that would create a massive shift and everybody all at once would experience collective leap in consciousness.

I feel like it's in every every activist movement." Tyson Yunkaporta

Cry harder, you fucking babies. You asked for this. Fuck your conversion therapy.
@TiciaVerveer This is a fascinating paper, thanks for posting!

I also have arthritis learned recently that pain tolerance can lower while in burnout. Doesn’t that make arthritis a cycle of burnout? Or I mean cyclical.
And, as an aside, we could really use histories of First Nations and taxation in Canada. I'd rather not have to write one myself but would be more than happy to share the thing or two I know on the subject. @histodons
