"Psychiatrist Laurent Mottron complained in 2023 that the latest version of the DSM “is full of vague and trivial definitions and ambiguous language that ensures more people fall into various, abnormal categories.” Steven E. Hyman—the former director at the National Institute of Mental Health—warned in 2013 that the authors of the DSM"

I made this for my friend's daughter who is trying out pottery. I've been making her little instructional videos and this one is a timelapse of me trimming and putting a handle on a mug. Thought I would share in case you guys find this interesting.
Someone shared this with me who said it had been circulating in the Hasidic community. Will likely offend a lot of people these days.
Hi everyone, I haven't been active in Solid Ground for a while, but I am still alive and kicking! I now work as personal assistant to a mind-bendingly weird and diva-esque artist-lip-syncher-performer named Fiona Blueberry. She is blissfully clueless about politics and seems to be completely unaware of the culture wars. Working with her is a breath of fresh air. If you need a mood lift, I encourage you to watch this video we made together. Happy 4th, everyone! Wishing you fun/love/peace on this holiday. :) www.fionablueberry.com

"The bill, authored by LGBTQ rights activist-turned-Assemblymember Rick Zbur, would allow children of any age to initiate state dependency proceedings against their own parents. The parents will not even know this has happened until the die is already cast."
"The investigation includes a social worker assessment of the parents’ home. The use of the word “assessment” instead of “investigation” is legally significant: an assessment carries no requirement of a physical home visit and can be completed entirely on the basis of the child’s statements alone, without the parents ever being contacted."
"At no point in this entire process has any notice been required to reach the parents."
Abortion bias in Anthropology.
"He says the fetus was probably buried when its mother died, but that her remains had never been found."
So we know Neanderthals buried their dead babies (ceremonially too). We know we didn't find any remains of the mother near the 8 month old "fetus" ... And anthropogists identified this baby by finding multiple bone fragments so kind of seems like they would have found evidence of the mother in the same location if they were buried simultaneously but ...
Yea let's just assume this wasn't burial of a miscarried baby because that would imply that even Neanderthals could recognize the personhood of an unborn baby... Can't have that. Let's just ASSUME all the pieces of the mother magically vanished leaving only traces of the fetus inside her. Yea that checks out. /S.
