Rustin and King knew that 1960s America wasn’t ready for a gay rights movement, so they kept Rustin in the background.
Though it is worth pointing out MLK's movement continued to expand to other groups, was more of a pro-socialist push near the end and probably would have kept going, had he not gotten shot.
Somehow the amount of terrifying options here are through the roof. Not sure why but I find Gaza or Iran the least terrifying outcomes...
Can we like, maybe normalize adding descriptions of the product to these announcements? On the blogs of these apps pages that's one thing, but on selfhosted forums etc... where we are drawing attention to the product of which many aren't familiar with... a 2 sentence summary of what the product is before going into the long changelog, would make everyone so happy.
Sometimes the decision for yourself, is to know when you need it.
No matter what the conditions, neurotypical, neurodivergent, parent, kid... doesn't matter. end of the day no one can do everything by themselves.
The person who thinks they can always do everything and continues to throw themselves at it, is messing up just as hard as the one who asks for help every 2 seconds on things he should know.
Being a capable adult, is figuring out what you can and can't do on your own, and who is the best resource to get help from. Your a college student, your proffesors most likely have office hours, there's likely a tutor system in place etc... These aren't special things made for their "special ed" kids, they are resources available for everyone, for a reason. Again that doesn't mean you have to or even should go to them before you look at what you are doing, you should look at the work, look at it. Find out what's
Oh i already know this, I'll knock it out
Hmmm this one is going to take a bit of added research, I think I can figure it out.
and
Oh shit, what language is this task written in?
knock out everything you can do easily, put some work into the others, if somethings hanging you too long, move it into the last pile.
Then go get the help you need. Don't sell yourself short, don't think taking advantage of the resources the school specifically has to help students is admitting failure, it's knowing yourself. Trust me a 40 some year old fogie like myself, damn straight I turn to others when I need help. But most importantly I have the respect of the people I turn to, specifically because I do the due dilligence of eliminating all the newbie issues before bringing the problem up the ladder.
I don't know for certain if it's autism... but my son went through a very similar trend to you on that. In short he flunked out of a semester of community college, he basically stopped doing his work 2 weeks in. just let everything slide, flunked out, wrecked his financial aid etc... Looked me in the eye every day when I asked him if he was keeping up with everything, and he eventually came clean to me in finals week when he realized it was all impossible to catch up.
He's never been officially diagnosed with autism, but him and I both have some strong factors that match it. For us basically we needed to get family therapy, did it remotely, gave him a session or 2 with the therapist. then some with myself and his stepmom. Honestly in the end what it takes is doing the actual honest thing, it starts with confessing, explaining how you faked the results, and show them how to get over it. IE the obvious ways it can be done is to give them direct access to the portal, or instead of screenshots go full on with say teamviewer, anydesk, screensharing in discord or microsoft teams etc... something that gives them real time so you can scroll and show them that the grade simulator etc... is not currently running etc...
I don't know how much your lying is taking you, but you certainly know there's the rope, of how far you can lie before you hit the point of what you can't hide things any longer. IE when you can't sign up for the next class because you failed the previous. Again I can't speak for you, but with my son, he said he was always lying to himself, telling himself he was just putting it off and he'll catch everything up before the end of the semester, until he hit finals week, couldn't catch everything up. Knew that was an impossible goal.
I feel while the lying gave him a short term relief, that nagging in the back of his head, the panic of what happens when it all catches up to him etc... was weighing on him heavily in the meantime. You sound like you have supportive parents, they don't sound like they are narcisists or controlling monsters, they actually are trying to help. Maybe you actually do need help?
I think the one thing both sides are fully aware of, we live in vastly different realities.
I mean lets be real, none of these charities are pushing to ban guns, more like simple things like universal background checks etc... Point is if the goal is to give a middle finger to conservatives while describing it as honoring kirk, gun control would be the ideal, as that's litterally the cause of his death.
To me my biggest hope is that he takes their calls to donate to TurningPointUSA... and flips them.
"So, some asked me to donate to TurningPointUSA as an apology, I've decided it's more appropriate to donate to (pick a gun control charity here),
anyone know what the claim is to even count as defamation?. That to me seems like what should be the crux.
IE if the claim was "X's voice clearly shows he's dying of cancer." I could see that as defamation. On the other hand "X is summoning demons" that clearly would be fan-fiction.
I mean, the declarations are often intended to basically satirize trump, and no it's not as horrific because quite simply the intent is obvious. Anyone with 2 brain cells knows newsom isn't going to put pressure on, concert venues or whatever the hell would make the choice to allow kid rock to play.
So no it's not the same thing, at bare minimum because it's super obvious that I cannot do it. If me random dude on the internet makes the declaration that I'm going to drop a nuke on turkey, you can pretty easilly tell I'm joking. If trump talks about dropping a nuke on greenland... that's a very different thing because he can do so.
unfortunately I don't think so...
I don't think they actually care about Charlie Kirk at all... half of maga hated kirk. Laura Loomer was bashing kirk while he was alive (obviously for very different reasons than us).
His value to maga just went up massively BECAUSE HE'S DEAD. They've wanted to crack down on free speach in the left for ages, but they've lacked the right hook. They wanted to do it with Luigi and Brian Thompson... but sadly they realized that average american's were very familiar with the predatory nature of the health insurance industry, and even brainwashed right wing maniacs have horror stories involving health insurance.
Kirk is a pawn, they aren't trading their values of free speech to protect Kirk. Removing free speech was their values, and Kirks assassination is an excuse to make it happen. If we gave trump a time machine to go back and save Kirk, he'd absolutely turn down the opportunity.
With MTG's post saying she's not suicidal and not going to kill herself and suspect someone if she is killed.
I frankly feel that an actual feasible event that may happen is. If they cannot get someone to flip. A mysterious shooter will take out one of the R's on the side of releasing the files... he won't be caught, but he will leave a nice manifesto saying he's trans and a far left person.
