Been avoiding this but it’s Super Important to have access to knowledge & experience w neurodivergence ASAP. A big source of lifetime torture among people with ADHD roots from inability to contextualize & put into words what we are experiencing both within & from how the outside world responds to us

Janice Turner has no background or training in medicine, neuroscience, psychology or psychiatry.

Janice Turner: Is your ADHD diagnosis really helping you? A huge increase in those claiming the condition as well as receiving Pip to cope with it risks creating a lost generation

Sorry had to end the stream early. Just found out Wolly's unemployment isn't getting extended and now we're panicking. If anybody knows of any resources I'd appreciate it. Otherwise if you wanna help him out a bit, here's his Ko-Fi ko-fi.com/lunarwolly Any help, even a share, is welcomed

Time to bring back the old ways. Start moving like our parents/grandparents. Vigilance in regards to one's social circle might hurt a few feelings but it will help keep you alive.

Friendly reminder that Duolingo was initially concieved to trick people into translating articles for free, which they later used as training data for MTL algorithms. Duolingo's primary purpose has NEVER been about teaching you a language, even from the start! slate.com/technology/2...

If it doesn’t charge users and, so far, doesn’t serve them any ads, how does Duolingo make money? It tricks you into working as an unpaid translation service. At the end of some lessons, Duolingo will ask you if you want to practice by translating a real-world document. Which will turn out to be, say, a BuzzFeed article. By melding together enough stabs at this task from high-level Duolingo users, the app can render a surprisingly accurate translation. Which is worth good money. So far, Duolingo has contracts with BuzzFeed and CNN to translate stories from English into languages such as Spanish, French, and Portuguese. This service is already earning Duolingo hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but von Ahn predicts he will be adding a raft of new clients soon. “The language translations market is huge,” he says. “It’s a $30 billion per year market.”

It really irks me when people share their 300, 600, 1000 day Duolingo streaks but still don't know how to use Japanese. Here's an explanation for why apps like Duolingo don't work for learning to any fluency. jtalkonline.com/why-apps-lik...

if black IWTV fans want black vampires and want to support a queer black creator. I gotchu. The Three tomes is a YA vampire Drama but while the teen melodrama romance is happening up front the grown folk black vampires are doing their own thing on the side. 🔗⬇️

Now would be a very good time to get a comicfury page up and running, especially if you don't have your own site. And also throw them some money for continuing to be the one good webcomic platform. www.patreon.com/comicfury

Btw, as the Itchio noise and all died down, Adult games are technically just banned now. Some adult games are still being sold, yes, but if you get caught or reported or whatever, all your payment options will be yanked and only a husk remains. Zero comments from Itchio on this, nothing, at all.

too pissed off to write, sorry
ayano 🏳️‍🌈@mew.bluemoonfalls.com · last yr.

it is one thing for me to struggle to get a code as an adult but the way kids have been continuously locked out of pokemon in recent years baffles and abhors me. (TCG product scalping, nintendo no longer being the "affordable" console company, and now stuff like this...)

Automatically insisting what someone’s gender identity SHOULD be (read: should NOT could) based on how they look/act is toxic as fuck. ESPECIALLY when you’re attacking the person who fought for actual YEARS for queer rep and had their show cancelled for it.
