@maayanziv How do you know none of them don't have invisible disabilities? Or is your activism more specifically about visible disabilities?

We are addressing gender, we are addressing race, we are addressing age and body types…yet it’s almost 2023 and most theatre productions and musicals cast 100% able bodied. How does this even make sense anymore in the world we are living in?

Them: your pets are spoiled Me: they are competitively compensated for the user experience they provide

@jwitcraft @danidonovan I unpack the toiletries but the rest of the bag remains on the floor for a week or two with everything I don't need in everyday life 😅

@danidonovan See stuff like this makes me very much doubt my diagnosis and help from medication. We unpack immediately because I get anxious if i can't find toiletries.

the ADHD urge to avoid unpacking your suitcase for a longer period of time than your actual trip

@bencoates1 Well, my 1h flight to London took 8.5h last week... Suddenly the 12h bus journey seems not that bad. Cancellation - rebooked with a connecting flight via FRA - Schiphol queue - layover etc.

What’s going on with @MetaAI’s Chief AI Scientist @ylecun? And how new are his “new” ideas? garymarcus.substack.com/p/how-new-are-…

@MayaHartikainen @yolautakunta @okmfi @Autismiliitto Apua 😵‍💫 Aika jarkyttavaa...

The BBC should now do 11-days of nonstop documentaries and features on republicanism, the crimes of the British empire,the dangers of unaccountable elites, and working-class history. For balance.

@IsmamTalha @BBCLauraKT Dunno, I had to organise my mother's funeral aged 21 after my father had died 2yrs earlier & then run a house AND their business. Unfortunately I didn't have any servants.🤷‍♀️

"The servant must clear my desk for me. I can't be expected to move things."

I will need a bit of time to digest that idea of "feeling and expressing indignation and anger as being about your authentic self and creating an opportunity for real connection" 🤯 But it explains a lot...

@bencoates1 you might like this book - the author is Dutch, so she reflects a lot on Dutchness too which is very handy if you live here. This passage in particular feels insightful... bol.com/nl/nl/p/betwee…

@cris_dida @fabmar78 @bencoates1 Might be good for the kids to get used to the concept of "flavour" in food 😁

@fabmar78 @bencoates1 For my family, only the basic things and only if we can bring them. I don't really like wasting time looking for food in an odd country and guessing if my kids will eat it. I'd rather spend time on enjoying the vacation.

Shout out to the lady at the cheese store in Gouda who is buying €55 worth of cheese “because I’m going on holiday and need to take some with me”

@jobby_sandwich @bencoates1 Lekker 🤣

@bencoates1 Just the 14 loaves of bread needed and that’s lunch sorted for her family of 5 for 2 weeks.

@geoffvanwijk @bencoates1 I remember the first time I saw this in a supermarket and I couldn't believe it was a "concept" 🤣

@bencoates1 I guess 'vakantiekaas' really is a thing here. Who knew🤷‍♂️ 🧀? But no 'vakantiepindakaas'?

@bencoates1 It's kind of illogical because food is likely cheaper wherever you go south of the Netherlands 😅 And tastes better so overall the value ratio improves. We come back from France with cool bags full of food...

Story checks out

The asylum centre at Ter Apel. In a country where the government recently spent €150 million to buy a Rembrandt.

@vanamerongen What is the queue for? Just entering the terminal?

This is what a friend sent, this was an hr and a half into waiting and there was a U-turn in the distance he couldn't even see. He's given up and gone to Burger King now (good call imo)

All-time record heat today and there's apparently a 3km line at Schiphol again, with no shelter... I have a feeling this is not gonna go well.

Shout-out to the other neurodivergents who use parentheses too much (to add context to make sure nothing is misunderstood) (because parentheses clarify our directness) (I hope this tweet makes sense).
