I love talking to kids about disability bc

1. they often just Get It, and

2. they have 0 concept of disability as a tragedy or something pitiable.

I've watched kids get into an argument with a teacher bc they thought wheelchairs were cool. I told a kid that I can't stand for too long sometimes and they replied, "That's okay, I can't do cartwheels sometimes, but I just do other stuff then. You can sit down with me if you want". Today a girl asked me what the headphones on a classmate's desk were for and I told her that headphones are important for some kids because noises bother them, and she said she wished she had headphones at home, because her baby brothers make a lot of noise and it makes it hard to think. The idea that different people could use tools at different times is intuitive and simple and when accessibility aids are explained neutrally, kids don't see them as bad or unfortunate, they're just things that are useful.

Even mental disability!! In Kindergarten the other day one of the kids asked me why his table partner got stickers when nobody else did. I started off by saying, "Well, when you do your work well, it feels good, right? That's your brain giving you a reward," and the kid just right away went, "Oh, and the stickers are like his reward?" YES! You are 5 and have a better grasp on ADHD than most adults! Kids blow me away every day.

sometimes it feels like whenever asexuality is brought up on this website, everyone is so quick to make it about literally anything besides asexuality. You don’t like how much sexual content is left untagged? You must be a sex-negative puritan! You read this character as being asexual? Clearly you’re a homophobe who hates all their gay ships! You feel alienated by Valentine’s Day and dating culture in general? No, that’s an AROMANTIC experience, stop equating ace with aro!

Like, yes—sex negativity, homophobia, and aromantic erasure are absolutely real and widespread problems. But at some point you have to give other marginalized people the benefit of the doubt and let them talk about their own experiences being marginalized without making it into an attack on you personally.

Ah... I had this whole weekend and friday off... just to get stressed out because people apparently ask Alastor stuff now! Like when did that happen?

I'm glad Al is popular and all but holy quackers! Anyways, since Al is also starting to lose his mode because #1, he's doing all of this on what he calls 'a smaller version of Vox's face's and #2 not used to people talking to him, I had to get him a chew toy.

It's one of those weird squaking chicken things... the really annoying ones that should like they're in antagonizing pain if you poke them... Alastor was originally a bit angry about it, saying that he wasn't a dog, but once he found out about the screams...

He likes it... thanks @jonis06 for the idea... I'm making a little comic about it now... maybe I'll start posting more art along with getting Al to answer you guys! And hopefully I can let him out of his room tomorrow if he's calmed down and I'm willing to keep him in line...

Well, goodnight (for me at least) and Happy Holidays.

EXPLAINING THE WSQK 94.5 FM SQUAWK

To begin with, we need to understand that each radio station has a four-letter code issued by the FCC (the government agency that regulates radio stations in the United States). Stations with W or K in their codes indicate whether the radio station is located east or west of the Mississippi River, while the other letters are chosen by the stations themselves.

An example is WPTF (a real station), which serves as a reference for WSQK in the universe of st. The W indicates that it is east of the Mississippi River, and PTF was chosen by the station itself with the slogan "We Protect The Family."

WSQK 94.5 FM SQUAWK

The radio station in st uses the same W and K pattern, indicating it is east of the Mississippi River, and the SQ stands for (SQUAWK).

We've already seen the WSQK van with its beautiful blue color and an image of an eagle emitting a rainbow from its beak (probably making a reference with light radiation). Also I would find it amazing if this mascote at the set were the radio station's mascot that the production has among them, referencing/joking about the WSQK eagle, obviously it’s not going to be a part of S5

Visible light is part of a different electromagnetic spectrum, sharing similar characteristics with radio waves but at higher frequencies.

The term SQUAWK comes from the sounds that birds use to communicate, which makes sense with the eagle illustrated on the van.

It would be as if the eagle were “shouting” radio waves, trying to convey the message that WSQK radio frequency is powerful

I've been thinking about it and my blog isn't really a nest is it? That implies you are all my chicks which sure some of you can be baby chicks but i'm not raising 50+ kids. Thats a lot of beeping and peeping and how would I even make sure all of you fledge. I'd feel like the mother fucking wild robot.

I think a more realistic interpretation is hunting grounds or prairie? I could also call it a lek which would also be appropriate cause i just flirt at my boyfriend in half my posts and all the other animals in the areas just go 👀

Anyways thats all.

"ADHD isn't a mental disability it's just a difference in how brains work" hmm yes a difference in how brains work. A difference that makes some aspects of modern life much more difficult, right? they are, and bear with me here, Less Able to do some of the things expected of them? Such as perform basic hygiene, socialize, or complete work and academic tasks?

Saying ADHD or autism isn't a mental disability doesn't show your progressive view of neurodivergence, it shows your dismissive view of mentally disabled people.

Budgie - "Make Me Happy" From the album Squawk (1972)

Last song scrobbled from iTunes at Last.fm

File under: Bands made Popular by Metallica Covers

[rolandrockover]

100,000 Man

No, this isn't some far-fetched sequel to Ace's Rolling Stones cover 2000 Man (1979) (1) , but rather something a little more far-reaching, by which for today's concern, I mean the debut album from 1974.

And to dwell a little longer in vast dimensions, what could possibly seem longer than 100,000 Years (1974)? At a certain point, I guess, you couldn't care less whether you spend 100,000 or 100,000,000 years in a presumably indeterminate state, could you? But well, who can speak from experience?

To trim the whole situation down to our kind of cultural framework, 50 years should seem quite appropriate, as it would be laughable to even consider to mention those two negligible extra years that have to be added on top to get to Budgie's Rocking Man (1972). And because we are in the middle of this universal event and cannot change it, or even want to try, we just go with the flow.

Once you've swum along, Rocking Man's self-contained little rhythm section with the soloing can only allow one conclusion as to where Kiss have derived their own extended head trip for 100,000 Years. Let the Budgie Link run for a while before comparing it with the Kiss one but not for too long, otherwise it might reveal what other Kiss songs from the early days are still hidden in it.

And for the love of God, I'd like to save those for other occasions.

Side Note:

(1) Just be patient, there are only 4-5 entries left until Kover It Up will indulge in this felicitous song.

Anyone who thinks the dialog isn't funny needs to get a funny bone.
