A job post that explicitly requires someone with "high executive functioning"

Is this ?

@actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd

noam ,

@lifewithtrees Not necessarily ableism. I don't know what they mean by 'high executive functioning' and how that relates to the job.

As not a role model I endorse this horror vs fantasy theory of writing.
But what if when you go through the portal, the portal also goes through you? 😜 😆

@NickEast That's really interesting! Going through the portal, real or symbolic, is a step in the well-known Hero's Journey. I wonder if something coming through the portal is a different type of story.

@shaedrich @NickEast Actually, yes, I think fantasy and horror is a good description of Stargate, despite pretending to be scifi.

noam ,

@shaedrich @NickEast I'm not a hardcore Stargate fan, but I remember there being episodes where someone was taken over by a symbiote (so something came through the Stargate portal, perhaps inside someone), which had a horror feel.

@curiousordinary @Godyssey @TarkabarkaHolgy @FairytalesFood @starrytimepod @wihtlore @bevanthomas @mythologymonday @juergen_hubert @GaymerGeek @FinnFolklorist @Lemniscata My first thought is the Turkish Delight in the books (I forget which one), which the White Witch used to entice Edmund to tell her important secrets. It was enchanted to be addictive, making whoever ate it want more and more, thereby making them easy to control. Does that count as a ? 😀

I had a children's book called (I think) The Magic Gourds. It was based on a Korean folk tale about two brothers, one good (Hungbu) and one evil /greedy (Nolbu). The evil Nolbu tricks the good Hungbu out of the family inheritance.

Hungbu and his wife and children are good but poor. Hungbu helps an injured bird, who reward him by bringing him a gourd. They plant the seeds, and out of the gourds that grow come riches and fine clothes and they grow wealthy.

Nolbu hears of this and in his greed, injures a bird only to help it. The bird brings him a different gourd. He and his family plant the seeds, but this time out of the gourds that grow come nasty critters that hurt them and destroy their riches. They realise the error of their ways and everyone lives happy ever after...
