there is an astronomical difference between ‘because of my personality disorder, i am more sensitive to small things (such as people ignoring messages) that a neurotypical person would not be sensitive to, and i would like my friends to be mindful of this when interacting with me’ and ‘because of my personality disorder, i should have a free pass to stalk, manipulate, and abuse my friends, and any criticism of my behaviour or abandonment on the part of my friends is inherently ableist’

PORTLAND REPORTBACK!  When DHS cleared the part of the camp that was blocking the ICE driveway here in Portland last Thursday, they hired a pressure washing company to come wash the chalk messages off the ground. The company showed up, realized they were, in a very tiny way, aiding ICE, and they walked off the job. And then they brought pizza back for the folks in the OccupyICE camp beside the building.

Did refusing to wash away those messages of “Abolish ICE” and “Families belong together” actually make a tangible difference for the currently separated families and the people currently facing deportation? No. But did it encourage and inspire us? Does seeing a company refuse service to ICE make it seem more possible for others to do the same? Yes, absolutely.So refuse to wash the ICE building. Refuse to sell tires to the transportation company that leases the buses to ICE. Refuse to operate the plane flying the children to the camps. Refuse to be part of the system. Don’t just “do your job,” follow your ethics and hang on to your humanity.

The pizza probably actually helped also food is important, bring food to demonstrators

For some reason a bird speaking Japanese is mildly off putting.

> Literal translation

Bird:“ ‘Uhm Hello, this is the Ono family.”

Bird: “What’s wrong?”

Owner: “Abe-chan, you’re a little too early. Once the phone’s picked up, then properly say hello.”

Bird: “Okay, understood.”

Owner: “Do you really understand? I’m counting on you. Hello, this is the Ono family residence in Gifu.”]

Bird: “Okay, I understand!”

Owner: “Got it.”

> That’s clearly some sort of Pokemon.

> Off-putting? It’s like birds were meant to speak Japanese!

> For some reason it’s never occurred to me that birds can mimic languages other than English. It’s so cool, though!
