"The reason you begin tracking your data is that you have
some uncertainty about yourself that you believe the data
can illuminate. It’s about introspection, reflection, seeing
patterns, and arriving at realizations about who you are
and how you might change."
—Eric Boyd, self-tracker

Whether it’s the cost of living crisis or the climate crisis – our situation is desperate. Working on the desirable world of tomorrow in the here and now means, not least, democratizing the capitalist economy. One promising method for doing this is socialization, which is currently being promoted by grassroots movements in areas as diverse as housing, energy, and transportation.

"Americans now spend less time in face-to-face socializing than any period in modern history. That some Americans are trading the blurry haze of #intoxication for the crystal clarity of sobriety is a blessing for their minds and guts. But in some cases, they may be trading an ancient drug of #socialization for the novel intoxicants of isolation."

#SoberFascists (just like #Felon47) are incapable of #empathy or interaction with others. Isolation breeds #xenophobia.

#US and its puppets in #Brussels are imposing sanctions on #China for what they claim are subsidies in almost every aspect of production.
From cars and batteries to solar panels, phones and chips.
And yet their greatest wish and their last hope before despair is for the Chinese real estate "bubble" to burst.

And all this because in western economic universities they don't teach them a single word.

#Socialization
Exactly the opposite of what the West does with the bailouts.

Professional socialization in veterinary education - or teaching veterinarians how to be veterinarians - starts before students arrive at university. But are we expecting too much from them if we expect them to already have experience when they arrive at 18 years old?

“Research shows that compared with employees of all other ages, 20-somethings are the most likely to want to come into the #office two or three days a week. They’re comfortable with hybrid options and working from home, but they’re also hungry for in-person #socialization and the kind of #learning that comes from frequent #interaction with experienced colleagues”

Why Do Autistic People “Make A Scene?”

Because you don’t bloody listen.

Going to events can be challenging when you are autistic. It is definitely challenging for me. I have noise sensitivity and social anxiety. I’ve recently learned that I’m liable to crash if I’m overstimulated during a social event. Fun!

I’m going to talk about a specific event here. It is a brunch that happens monthly and is for bisexual people. They actually don’t card for sexual orientation, but if you’re not an ally, you’re not going to enjoy yourself. This event used to happen in a locale that I would be able to tolerate. I’ll note that there is no social situation that is absolutely without risk for me, but some places are definitely worse than other places.

I’ve actually talked about this event in a prior article:

https://www.yourautisticlife.com/2024/06/09/when-being-social-destroys-you

After I wrote that article, I went into the Discord server to tell folks about what happened to me the day before, and I referred to the article I linked to above.

Even before that event happened, I had suggested another location to the people in the Discord server. I was told that my suggestion would be forwarded to the person responsible, but this did not happen. Generally, speaking, I think it is fallacious to insist that unless you can come up with a solution, then you mustn’t complain. However, I do prefer to present a solution when I can, and this time I could. I had been to this other place before and did not recall much trouble there.

Note that I’m not the only member of the group who is not fond of the new location for the brunches. Other members have perhaps not crashed like I did, but they have complained about the noise, or the subpar food offerings. Some of them complained before in the event chat on Meetup, but they weren’t heard either.

So, today, I went into the chat for the Meetup event and copied and pasted what I had put into the Discord server, minus the references to my article. It was a relatively restrained message. I laid the facts, and said that I had suggested another location, and that as far as I could tell nothing happened with my suggestion.

As far as I am concerned, I did not make a scene, but I’m half-expecting some ableist idiot to come over and accuse me of such a thing. I really thought about making a scene, however.

Why would I make a scene?

Because, so far, nobody who can make a change has listened to my complaints and the complaints of other members. This is why. We autistic people are always in the minority, and we end up being overlooked. Our needs are ignored, until, one day, we figure that we’re only going to be heard if we make a scene.

I thought about it, but I did not. I don’t know about next time.

How do older people think about #religion and #atheism?

Joanna Malone shared quotes from (British?) #seniors about (dis)belief in #God, their upbringing, and their life #philosophy.

Patterns:
- #socialization: disbelief was often described as learned (like religious *belief*)
- #humanism: elders often contrasted #religion with #science, #logic, and free thinking
