I hurt. Do you care? Disparaging remarks about Catholics, Christians, Christianity, “The Catholic Church”, Church, Religion, “Religious people” church leaders hurt.

You make a good point. Things used to be more geek friendly in computers. Several “improvements” do seem to be in the neurotypical direction more than the autism friendly direction. But don’t forget Linux. On my Mac Laptop at home and my Windows laptop at work I still spend most of my time in a bash...

Plant an indoor garden using seed from what you eat anyway and containers from found-or-recycled objects and dirt from around where you live? Thanksgiving is about thanking God for a good harvest and all other good gifts. Make some up-cycle (reuse and recycle to build yourself and your world up) cra...

Perhaps I am missing something in the skill of duct tapping a banana to a wall. Is it a real banana? What happens when it rots? Is that part of the skill? Kind of like kinetic art? Or an artist who paints a portrait on a wall which is promptly knocked down? If you spend several millions on a duct ta...

^ ok, I see now. It seems some “resurrection plants” are also tumbleweeds but often they are one or the other.
