A question, for anyone who wants to answer, about trust.

If someone breaks your trust in a fundamental way, can you "get over it" and trust them again?
I have a situation where I'm being told I need to get over it, and I think I have - I'm no longer angry. But trust them again? Put myself in a situation where I could be hurt by them again? No. I've never done that before, why should I start now?

And is this a me thing, or an autism thing?

@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic Not a you thing and anyone telling you how to manage your emotions and life experience can give you actual support or shut the hell up. People earn trust. When they break trust, they need to own it. With regards to you trusting them again, that's something for the other person to fix, they need to work to earn your trust, and that can take a lot of time. If you are just expected to get over it without that, then "when people show you who they are, believe them."

With some universities canceling or modifying commencement ceremonies over protests or fear of protests, an anthropologist reminds us that there’s a lot more at stake than just a line of seniors getting a fancy piece of paper.

@TheConversationUS @academicchatter Disconnected and disillusioned? Sounds like life preparation. ;)

I barely remember my graduations, more people I celebrated with.

To make the moon a graveyard goes against the beliefs of various human religions.

Here’s a look at what believers would say about this winter’s attempt to send a probe holding the remains of paying customers to the lunar surface

@TheConversationUS @philosophy While the whole thing is creepy, no religion has a right to expect others to believe in their religion. Freedom of religion is the right to practice your religion, that's it.

If you're on the Left and your worldview AND praxis don't involve the liberation of disabled people, you aren't on the Left.

You're performative.

Gross.

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic @communism It could also just not knowing better. People don't know until they know. So instead of demonizing, maybe inform?

A good news story.

'The University of Toronto is the latest Canadian university to announce it’ll be covering tuition for First Nation students whose community’s traditional territory is on or near campus. This move is...popping up across Canada and the U.S...University of Waterloo and Kwantlen Polytechnic University made similar announcements.'

It can be seen as 'an act of meaningful reconciliation.'

@prachisrivas @AnnaAnthro @academicchatter Good. I did think it was already covered, it should've been, so, good.

I'm going out on a limb here, but maybe... just MAYBE...

...the reason why so many people in the USA don't believe in the value of a college education anymore is BECAUSE we are running our universities like businesses, and not because we aren't.

@djvanness @academicchatter @academicsunite Or maybe it's because the US allows propaganda tv, in which viewers are told smart people are woke, everything they say is wrong, science is bad, up is down?

💛 “Do Old Wounds Ever Heal?”

When do the memories of children torn from mothers’ breasts, fathers’ protection, a community’s legacy stop haunting us? When does healing begin?

@clayrivers @BigAngBlack @blackmastodon @BlackMastodon A lot of kids spend their lifetime trying to overcome childhoods, even when growing up in their natural family, some with more success than others. There will never be one solution and much will depend on the individual's active pursuit at healing.

If you’re an autistic person and you need to leave an event because of sensory overload/overwhelm: it is not a personal failure on your behalf, it’s an accessibility failure on their behalf.

@AutisticAdam @actuallyautistic Not every autistic person has the same triggers, and that goes for whatever else is fuelling a person. Folk need to look out for themselves as nothing could ever handle the needs of everyone.

@StabilnoLabilno @archaeodons I hope folk wear masks. I've seen so many folk go to conferences and come home with covid, not the ideal souvenir.

@StabilnoLabilno @archaeodons Good luck. The masking mandated vs encouraged seem the most successful.
