I like to read articles on the Huffington Post website. One such article I read recently was on "Things not to say to a child-free woman." The comments to the article turned into a debate, with some people wondering why on earth anyone could possibly choose to not have children ( Read more... )

This happened a month ago but I forgot to post here. There's a deli across the street from us with a sit down restaurant as half of it & deli counter as other half. The food's always been good so we go sporadically and haven't had any real issues before, except we had noticed they don't like deviation.

I have been noticing a recent increase in spam comments on old posts in LJ communities. If anyone posts a spam comment on one of your old posts in this community, please let me know about it so I can report it. For some reason LJ won't let the OP report spam comments, only community mods and maintainers.

Does anyone else have a big problem with Facebook memes? These are those so-called inspirational photos with a cute or pithy saying on them. They often refer to some form of what has been called "crip-spiration" when a person with a disability is used to show all those able-bodied what anyone can do if they really TRY ( Read more... )

I have Asperger's Syndrome. At various times I say I am an Aspie, I am autistic, I am on the autism spectrum, I have an autism spectrum disorder or I have Asperger's Syndrome. I generally don't bother to use "person with" language and I don't say that I have autism or that I am a person with autism. I don't insist that other people call themselves ( Read more... )

Fuck you too. My job at $big_company had an outing at your facility this evening. We even drove there, only to leave, angry. Why? No parking. When we asked where the handicapped parking was, we were told "we're full, use the overflow lot". Yeah... no. A dirt lot, across a busy street, and have to pay $10 for the privilege, and no accessible ( Read more... )
