They would also argue that adoption is another option (in case God decides not to provide?), because a) that always works out perfectly, b) that’s an easy decision for a new mother to make, and c) that guarantees that the child will be a productive member of society.

Example would be Representative Scott Perry:

There’s a cost, but it gets absorbed by taxpayers. For example:

I bought these TaoTronics active noise cancelling headphones when they were on sale and listed at Kinja Deals some months ago. I love them with every fiber of my being. Enough so that I left a review.

The number of people who believe that unsolicited physical contact should be unconditionally accepted are exceedingly high. I’m an autistic woman who is touch-adverse; when people touch me without permission, I frequently experience sensory overload and occasionally lose the ability to communicate verbally (both…

Ah yes, but those harmless plants give the GOP the added bonus of taking away voting rights.

“I patted her on the lower back,” Boswell, 70, told the Post. “It was just a friendly gesture.”

They did, yes. They neutered the part of the Voting Rights Act that required federal approval before changing election laws in nine states (Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia) — most of which are located in the South. This included redistricting maps.

Long story short, a 20 year old man wanted to have sex with his younger sister, but she refused. He then convinced her to dab until she was so intoxicated that she could no longer recognize that he was her brother.

I feel like it’s counter-intuitive, but I think that higher divorce rates (tempered by later marrying ages) is a good thing. It means that people — predominately women — are more financially secure. People who wait to get married or get divorced are able to do so because they’re more financially secure. A person who…

I’m in a similar situation. My partner and I will be celebrating our first year anniversary next year, and this year has been much like prior years of our relationship — aside from being in a better economic position. To be fair, he and I were dating and living together for a decade before we decided to get married,…

Common feedback from many autistics is that we do not want to be cured; we love our brains and we love who we are as a result. Many instead wish for acceptance, reasonable accommodations, and an end to the discrimination that we experience as a result of being autistic.

Thank you for the link!

[...] yet the dozens of other people who had even worse impacts on her campaign are walking around without a scratch?

I was trying to find a reference to a story that I saw last year about a black man with two prosthetic legs being pulled out of his vehicle for failing to immediately comply with police demands (because, y’know, he’s disabled), and instead ended up with at least a dozen other similar cases.

That’s the thing: police officer fatality rates have been steadily dropping for at least a decade. And even though the number of cops killed by firearms increased in 2016, the people who overwhelmingly caused those deaths were white men.

I pointed him to Kinja Deals and a couple of other sites that provide stimming/fidget items. He didn’t go into too much detail, other than to explain that his son wants one and he had had difficulties finding them locally.

They fulfill different needs.

They fulfill different needs.

They’ve become so prevalent that, rather than destigmatizing fidgeting and stimming, they’re being banned for being distractions. Since it’s easier to make a zero tolerance policy rather than assess if an individual actually benefits from the item, this results in the objects being banned for all users.

I know a umber of people within the developmentally disabled community who benefit from fidget spinners. I haven’t heard anyone mention this app.
