I was an English major and this tweet gave me unwanted flashbacks to how much I hated some of my fellow students lol
No one cares at 8 AM if you “read ahead” on Wife of Bath’s Tale, please just let the professor talk.

But also!
Please be prepared that cats *can* develop expensive health problems, especially cats that go outside
And that cat litter/food adds up quickly
And that many bond extremely deeply with their humans and can’t be left alone for 24 hours

My college ex once said my home state of Alabama should be banned from voting until they “know what’s best for them” and got very angry when I pointed out how many black voters exist in that state.
He was thankfully already an ex at that point.

You clearly don’t know how common it is for airlines to fuck yo and separate kids from parents in seating charts if, say, they were changed to a different plane.
It hurts literally no adult to move so a child is safe and feels secure near their parent.

They can get molested. I’ve had creepy experiences with strange men, I definitely did as a young teenager, and there’s plenty of stories about women being SA or solicited on airplanes.

You’re no “jo joy Stan” but you’re literally on his Twitter telling him he did a great job and you’ve “got him!”

My mom routinely talked about how hard I was. Still does. If I hadn’t had other adults rebuking those statements, I would have thought I was a horrible child when I was actually just autistic and undiagnosed.
Speaking up for children is more important than an adult’s feelings.

A child is dead. A child who was so tormented and sad that he took his own life before he even hit puberty.
Please be more respectful, this isn’t the place to call a literal child weak.

Yo again, my partner and I are both ND.
Libraries aren’t for physical play.
That’s what a recreation center is for.
No one opposes an indoor play center with books.
We oppose forcing libraries to be these places.

Foam blocks aren’t a climbing wall and trampoline gym, two suggested options for “burning off a lot of energy”
No one criticized quiet play options.

I am. Because it’s not what libraries are for and not fair to other patrons and to the staff.
If a 3rd place is needed, advocate for that instead of further taxing already overwhelmed libraries.
@StillaliveIgue1
@LeslieNope_
@mollyfleck
Also as someone who’s worked multiple places with children.
Parents absolutely do not parent their children in public spaces.
It would become the staff’scresponsibility and that’s not okay.

I’ve taken autistic kids (and been an autistic child) in libraries for *years* and never had anyone act blatantly ableist for vocal stims.
That’s not the same as not wanting a playground inside a library.
You’re conflating two different things.
@StillaliveIgue1
@bookslover
@mollyfleck
You realize that many ASD people are sensory avoidant, right?
And that children’s high pitched vocals are a major sensory stressor for many ASD ears?
You’re not looking for inclusion.
You’re looking for inclusive for sensory seeking ASD specifically.

People don’t pass out from properly wearing corsets, including tightlacing.

Not every place will be ideal for all people, unfortunately.
For instance, amusement parks will never be my jam. Just way too much sensory stimulation.
It’s okay for libraries to be on the quiet side of things, given how many public spaces are loud and sensory overkill.
@Kim_Khandashisa
These are knockoffs.
Zara sources a large amount of their products from Spain, not Asia, which explains the price discrepancies.
Which is fine if you’re okay with a dupe, but they’re definitely not the same suppliers.

Not really. Loose fabric gets wadded up and soggy if you’re sweating and can get caught in gym equipment/under weights.
There’s a reason athletic wear exists.

Even the harshest of BC is still safer than quickly becoming pregnant after giving birth.
That’s just how it is.
No one is saying BC doesn’t have side effects, we’re saying that quickly become pregnant isn’t safe for mom or baby and easily prevented

Marilyn Monroe would have fit into modern size 0-4 clothing (depending on the cut) and had numerous plastic surgery procedures to look the way she did.
She and Anne have the same (reported) measurements— Anne is just taller so less curvy.

@iWomansplainer
It’s not nonsense to discuss bc at any time with a woman. It’s a healthy conversation for doctors to have.
You immediately jumped to “BC is poison” which effectively ends logical debates. Because it’s in itself illogical.

Coconut oil “without flavor” is highly refined and no healthy or unhealthy than canola oil.
Not everyone is focused on every ingredient being healthy. You adjust accordingly.

Then I went to get my ADHD re-diagnosed as an adult and walked away with an autism diagnosis too lol.

This is one of the reasons so many victims get dismissed if the man is charming/attractive/otherwise desirable— because so many are envious of supposed connections to the said abuser, they refuse to see the problem/abuse.

Diane. Honey. People survived the Great Depression. 2 world wars. Plagues. Famines.

Go be a rapist apologist elsewhere, it’s not going to be debate here.
You are actively trying to downplay rape statistics as women just changing their mind.
News flash: if a person changes their mind during sex, sex stops.
Otherwise it’s raped
@helen_barnowl

@TheLondonHughes
One of the unfortunate aspects of sexual abusers is that many are both playboys and abusers.
There’s many (*I’d almost argue majority) who have a lot of consensual sex and also rape when feel like it. 1/2
@AlanaMassey
Not all kids need hours of socialization every day. My autistic/ADHDA ass would have been having multiple meltdowns a day if I had had to go to public school.
Same with my ASD nephew. My SO (also ASS/ADHD) struggled heavily in the school system.
@Dreadful4Tymes
My mother refused to vaccinate me as a child and I still ended up autistic and with an autoimmune disease lol.
So much for either of those theories.

“A community center with a book room” ISN’T A LIBRARY.
Let libraries exist by themselves.

We don’t need to turn it into a Suoer Walmart one stop shop situation.
The actual fuck.
@StillaliveIgue1
@LeslieNope_
@mollyfleck
Because people go to libraries for quiet time and to focus and that’s acceptable.
Not every place needs to be multipurpose, loud, or have physical spaces to play.
That’s a recreation center and they’re great. But not libraries.
@theashleyray
When my grandmother was 17, she drowned her first husband to prove to him she would and could kill kill him if he didn’t stop beating her and my dad

You keep saying this but where are these libraries and how are they funded and have so much space and staff? Because most public libraries I know are limited in space and understaffed. Not to mention underfunded.

I’m also disabled and cold affects my joints. Playgrounds aren’t libraries.
Libraries aren’t for physical play.

There was a thread on here yesterday (also a repost from Reddit) about a woman who was frustrated because her BF kept subbing in fake versions of her real food and it was making her paranoid and she kept asking him to stop.
Men INSISTED she’d miss it if he did.
@Dreadful4Tymes
@krassenstein
I’ve already fought it out in this thread before you posted lol, but as someone in a relationship with a black man and us both being ND/autistic — there is absolutely a difference in how I’m perceived versus him, and there absolutely was a racist element to this incident.
@AlanaMassey
I have nothing wrong with public/private schools, but the concept that all homeschooled children are deprived of friendship or time with other children is egregious, especially in an era where children are enrolled in hobbies/sports/programs at an all time high rate.

Gyms are public spaces and different people with different goals will use them in different ways.
It’s not his gym. He doesn’t own it. He can workout somewhere else if she bothers him so much.
Why are you so pressed about this? You’ve commented numerous times lol
@LibraryLydia
But you said yourself that it wasn’t recreational.
No one is opposing play areas for creative play.
They’re opposing full on indoor playgrounds for loud, active physical play.
@StillaliveIgue1
@LeslieNope_
@mollyfleck
Libraries aren’t just for families.
Students and researchers and elderly deserve the space just as much much as families with children.
Literacy begins in childhood but it doesn’t end there.
And again: many ASD children seek quiet spaces and deserve them.

Partly that people outgrow items and it might no longer fit their lifestyle or needs.

Maturity and adulthood doesn’t mean tolerating people simply because you’re genetically related.
There’s no requirement or responsibility to bond with someone simply because your parent had sex with multiple people and reproduced multiple times.
@aggieloveseggs
@moto_librarian
Including weekends? And staff for the children areas to clean and supervise? And extra funding to not siphon off other literacy programs?
Libraries weren’t created just for families, they’re free literacy programs.
What’s needed is a park and recreation program for indoor park
@WizardBenjamin
@HeidiBriones
Yeah. My grandmother, in the 1950s, had a child at 14 after being married at 13.
It was still rape, regardless of the decade or generation.
@SimoneSyed
I mean this kindly:
You’re misinformed on what gentle parenting is.
You’re conflating it with coddling.
There’s a difference.
Please educate yourself before you disabuse parenting techniques many are using to end generational trauma and abuse.
@aggieloveseggs

Additionally have you checked in with your Calgary librarians and made sure they’re okay with staying that late?
That they have plenty of staff and time off and safety measures and are fairly compensated?
Or are you just blissfully happy it fits your needs?

The last time I was looking for new patterns they had pennywise and all types of animal prints.

@Isa_11_AC

They do, especially in their ears — and if they’re teething, their teeth/jaws/sinuses.
Add to that a total disruption in their routine without their understanding and it’s 100% reasonable they’re upset.
@lingerie_addict
I’ve read all the replies and the only weird ones I’ve seen are people suggesting she be petty and intentionally call out the person who donated it.
It’s okay for a gift to not fit the recipient. Even if both respect and care for each other.

No one said no one can ever make noise.
No one.
People have said that inside playgrounds are too loud and active for what a library is meant for.
And that’s an acceptable line to draw.
Playgrounds to burn off energy are for recreational centers.
@maeisafraid
@cauldronclique
They can in fact force entry for a welfare check, in case someone is unconscious or otherwise incapacitated.
They likely took the dog because they can’t legally leave an animal “abandoned” in the event she was, say, in the hospital
