@alexandraerin I’ve written about this before. The “exceptionalists” usually favour tax cuts. This is because they, like the mostly mythical “advantage-takers” they criticize, want something for nothing. The something they want is an individual right to pick and choose who gets financial aid.

@alexandraerin They want the nation to be a collection of individuals exercising choice according to their own criteria, rather than a society making decisions collectively according to rational principles that are transparent and can be changed, also transparently, when necessary.

One of the cruelest things about Autistic/ADHD masking is that you learn to treat positive emotions as a warning sign that you're about to do something "wrong" and that it is therefore "safest for everyone" if you maintain a constant, low-key negative internal emotional state.

Today I learned wtf a "Hurdy Gurdy" is. I know Middle Age instruments demand godlike craftwork but this thing is ridiculous levels of complex. I thought I didn't like folk music, until I heard the bass drop on this Hurdy Gurdy track. x.com/blabla112345/s…
