Yes, difficulty with sarcasm & certain kinds of humor can be a symptom. I think it's awesome that you are learning about autism for your autistic grandkids, & that you are willing to consider the possibility that you might also be on the spectrum.

Today was supposed to be adoption day for Bruticus, but the people who applied for him dropped out of contact and did not finalize the adoption contract or pay the fee so this guy is still on the market.

I've been fostering this adorable, tiny, soft, young kitty & wish I could keep her, but she'd be happier in a home without other cats. Please share w/ anyone in range of #Philly who's looking for a #cat. More pics at the link and I can answer any Q's: www.petfinder.com/cat/tiny-gre...

The headline should be "Netanyahu lies about why Nassar hospital was bombed to cover his genocidal intentions by killing journalists"

Pirro said it's cool to carry rifles around DC, so have at it everybody! Protect unarmed protesters, like the folks over at DC Metro.

Oh, it's simple, the Boomers got their $10k college education and their $60k home then decided to pull up the ladders and rip up the roots of the American dream by putting in charge the worst people they could find, such as Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump.

I think maybe it just emerged from its cocoon when the kitten found it. It couldn't fly. I'm just south of you in Delaware. I can't find the identification website I always used to use 🫤, but I remembered you host moth nights, so I thought maybe you would recognize it. Thank you!

@sarahmackattack.bsky.social Can you help me identify this moth when you have a moment? It was crawling in the grass trying to escape my kitten, so I put it in a potted plant. I thought she had ripped part of the wings off, but then it had wings when I checked again.

A large brown moth like bug with very tiny wings on the dirt ground, crawling around clover & weeds This is in Wilmington DE A slightly blurry picture of the large brown moth sitting in the back of my hand, almost to my wrist. You can see it has long, sleek antennas, it's almost 2 inches long, & while the wings don't cover the abdomen, they appear longer than the first picture A slightly better picture of the moth as it has started to climb up my arm towards my elbow. There are some dark markings visible on the wings that appear black in the picture, but we're actually more a dark shade of blue in person The large brown moth on the stem of a potted plant. The wings now completely cover the body of the moth. The wings are mostly shades raw umber, but there are also tan or burnt umber spots & markings

Oh God I hope so. Whatever the worst, fastest moving disease happens to be would be great. I don't like being a person who wishes ill on another, but he's evil to his core. An antichrist, if there is such a thing, bringing about the apocalypse.

I keep a safe distance, there is a door between us. The cats however, are playing with fire!

I have new skunk friends! The ones on the right come by regularly. They have big fluffy tails, & a narrow black stripe on their backs.The pair on the left are smaller, & one little guy has no fluffy in his tail! The other new visitor has 3 black dots in the white fur near her shoulder.

Cuban acts like Trump voters can engage in good faith discussions, that there's some hope of seeing eye to eye if we are just a little nicer & more empathetic towards them. I'm not really sure what world he lives in, but abso-fucking-lutely not. They voted for a rapist. They should feel shame.
