Literally dragged my family for the 7 hour drive to come to the Lucy Desi museum and it was so worth it!!
I’m autistic and I Love Lucy is one of my special interests, so getting to come here made me so unbelievably happy. They were playing Desi’s music throughout the museum and it completed the vibe so perfectly.
I have so many more pictures if anyone wants to see anything in particular.
So I saw this report on NBC News where they were talking about a family who was having trouble getting insurance coverage for ABA therapy for their 10 year old autistic son. It annoyed me so much I wanted to make a list of my grievances with the report:
They referred to the boy as “having severe autism” which is a term I hate.
They showed several clips of his meltdowns and one included the mom getting him dressed, and I think that vulnerable moments like this from a child who can’t consent should never be shared so publicly.
They described ABA therapy as being medically necessary and a “life saver”, completely ignoring the abusive and questionable practices implemented by ABA.
The story focuses more on the parents struggling to raise an autistic child and less on the child himself.
Overall, I hated how they portrayed ABA in a positive light, making it seem like it was detrimental for these parents that it wasn’t covered by insurance and they couldn’t get it for their son. I understand why the parents are upset, but they treated it like it was as necessary as chemotherapy for a cancer patient.
She goes on in the replies to say that Islamic terrorist movements only exist as a response to Zionism and that they’re purely resistance movements.
Oh also she says that 9/11 was a false flag incident to get Americans to hate Islam and it was caused by Israel 🙄
Why can’t we hate both? Both Islam and Israel are entities that claim that they are entitled to a certain way of life and therefore they must kill or punish anyone that defies their colonization. Yes, while it’s foolish to worry about any kind of Islamic colonization coming to Western countries such as the US, it’s still a threat to mostly Muslims living in Islamic states, and we have to fight against that as well as fighting against Israel.
My order was 3 LR and 1 RC, and I feel like it went pretty well. Don’t underestimate how much easier the RC is when you actually read the passage slowly and thoroughly first before reading the question or any of the answers.
So I’m a cis woman (21) who has identified as bisexual for about 8 years but so far I have only dated men.
I would love to have a relationship with a woman sometime in the near future, but I’m also open to dating men still.
However, my attraction to men is very complicated to say the least. I’m sexually attracted to them in the sense that I’m attracted to their general presence and physical touch overall, but I am absolutely disgusted by penises and don’t want to ever see one or touch one ever again. I thought it was something that would go away after my first sexual encounter but I am just so repulsed by them.
This makes me wonder if I could ever actually have a relationship with a cis man, because I don’t want it to be purely romantic with nothing sexual, but I absolutely hate penetration and having to perform for the man’s pleasure.
I have no idea what this means for my future with potential partners and I wonder if anyone else has felt the same way?
