Rules and Guidelines

1. No BigotryIncluding racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

2. Be CivilArgue in good faith, attack the argument; not the person, and promote a healthy debate. That includes implying violence, threats or wishes of violence and/or death.

3. No PornThis instance is not made to host porn communities. You're free to access porn communities on other instances through your account, but be mindful of Rule 4.

4. Use the NSFW tagUse your common sense: if you wouldn't want this image to show up on your work computer, tag it as such. In comments, use the
spoiler ::: tag for NSFW images, and put a NSFW mention beside links. Do not use NSFW images as your avatar or banner. :::
5. No Ads / SpamThis instance is not there to act as your billboard. If you want to promote your personal work, at least make the effort to be a contributing member of this community. Your account purpose shouldn't be to only advertise, make it natural.

6. Bot accountIf you are the operator of a "bot" account, make sure to flag is as such in the account's settings.

7. Right to privacyDo NOT distribute the personal information of someone else without their consent (aka doxxing). Information that is public domain can be shared, provided it is in good faith.
ex: The official email of an elected official is fair, the private phone number or the real name of a non-public person is NOT.

8. Report abuseThe report function isn't labelled the disagree button. You might not agree with someone, but that doesn't mean what the person says is against the rules. Using it repeately in this fashion will lead to actions being taken against the reporter.

9. ImpersonationDon't make an account with the intent to negatively deceive or defame someone on the fediverse.
ex: Parody of a famous person is okay, submitting outrageous content as appearing like another user, mod or admin isn't.

I am sorry to share a post which discusses politics, but it is not possible to advocate for accessible technology without also advocating for the users.

I think I might finally be on the road to getting some sort of diagnosis and learning how to live (although it's still talk right now and who knows if I don't just end up with an appointment 6 months from now). At this point I'm 90% sure it's autism or ADHD or some combination thereof. But I'm also aware of the possible folly of reading into things as far as self diagnosis goes. But I've been lurking and spending time in these sorts of communities for a couple of years now and feel like I've been learning more and more about myself. And I'm pretty sure now that I'm not just stupid and lazy and unreasonably defiant and depressed. I think I just haven't learnt how to function in a world that wasn't made for me.

I'm hoping to ask some advice on if I should do some homework or start making notes about my perceived reasons or symptoms before starting anything official and official. I started out terrible at doing homework and it's got worse as I got older but if there's any important literature that I should read, it would be awesome to know about it and I could push through reading it. And notes, should I start taking notes of things to speak about or bring up?

Thank you in advance. Might only start replying and stuff later became I'm feeling a little scrambled right now and only slept about 4 hours last night.

😱 EX-MUSLIM REVEALS HER SHOCKING TESTIMONY! ESCAPING PRISON TO FIND JESUS! 🙏

Get ready for a profound journey into the mystery of life after death, where near-death experiences (NDEs) reveal a world beyond human understanding. Imagine a moment of trance, where the physical body is on the brink of death, and the soul finds itself on the threshold between this world and the next. Many who have undergone these near-death experiences report encounters with light, visions of a spiritual realm, and mystical revelations that defy logic. What happens after death? Is there really life after death? These are questions that have been asked throughout the centuries, and NDE stories can provide us with some answers, revealing an illuminated spiritual path, where the soul crosses the threshold of death and witnesses what comes next.

In NDEs, people talk about encounters with spiritual beings and profound visions that change their perception of life and death. Some speak of the light at the end of the tunnel, a spiritual phenomenon that symbolizes the passage to another plane of existence. It is a transformative experience that can awaken a new level of consciousness, a true "spiritual awakening." Each experience is unique, but many report that this near-death experience led them on a spiritual journey, where they had access to truths about what life after death is like and what awaits us on the other side.

These experiences can be described as a crossing into the unknown, where each vision seems more vivid, and each encounter with light and spirits is a reminder of what lies beyond the veil of death. The metaphysical experiences observed in NDEs make us question the concept of time, space, and human existence itself. What is after death? A change of life, a deeper understanding of life's purpose, or a closer connection with the divine source? Life after death stories are undoubtedly powerful, and many feel that the crossing to the "afterlight" - the state after death - is a profound and unforgettable spiritual awakening.

Through these NDE witnesses, we understand that death may not be the end, but a transition, a transformation into a new form of existence in the spiritual realm. With encounters with spirits and visions of what awaits us, these stories offer more than just curiosity; they bring a message of hope, faith, and enlightenment, bringing to light what really matters on this journey called life. If you have doubts about what happens after death, NDEs offer a fascinating glimpse into the other side.

I don't even know what to think about this one. I'm not angry, more confused than anything. There's only one mod there so i asked them, and they said "It's against policy. It's the abbreviations policy."

I see no such policy anywhere, so who knows what's going on. Is it only the NYT that can't be abbreviated? What about the US? Is LOL forbidden too? And if so, why are we forbidden from laughing there!

They didn't even remove the comment.
The mod is user qrstuv. Maybe the only abbreviation allowed is thier own name? That's a power trip!

Audre Lorde (1934 - 1992)

Sun Feb 18, 1934

Audre Lorde, born on this day in 1934, was a queer feminist author and socialist activist. Among her works are "The Black Unicorn" and "Your Silence Will Not Protect You: Essays and Poems".

Lorde was born in New York City to Caribbean immigrants - a father from Barbados and Grenadian mother. She took an interest in poetry and reading at an early age; when asked how she was feeling, Lorde would often respond by reciting a memorized poem.

Lorde attended Hunter College in New York, graduating in 1959. While there, she worked as a librarian and became an active participant in the gay culture of Greenwich Village.

In 1961, Lorde earned a master's degree in library science from Columbia University. During this period, she worked as a public librarian in nearby Mount Vernon, New York, authored poetry, and participated in civil rights demonstrations.

In 1984, Lorde started a visiting professorship in West Berlin at the Free University of Berlin. During her time in Germany, Lorde became an influential part of the nascent Afro-German movement. Together with a group of black women activists in Berlin, Audre Lorde coined the term "Afro-German" and became a mentor to a number of women, including May Ayim, Ika Hügel-Marshall, and Helga Emde.

Lorde's thinking was emphatically intersectional, criticizing, in her words, "racism, the belief in the inherent superiority of one race over all others and thereby the right to dominance. Sexism, the belief in the inherent superiority of one sex over the other and thereby the right to dominance. Ageism. Heterosexism. Elitism. Classism."

Of non-intersectional feminism in the U.S., Lorde famously said "Those of us who stand outside the circle of this society's definition of acceptable women; those of us who have been forged in the crucibles of difference -- those of us who are poor, who are lesbians, who are Black, who are older -- know that survival is not an academic skill. It is learning how to take our differences and make them strengths. For the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change. And this fact is only threatening to those women who still define the master's house as their only source of support."

"Without community, there is no liberation."

- Audre lorde
