A three-year-old girl from Durango is the first contagion of the virus in the country and is serious but under treatment in a hospital
I heard Annihilation was about grief or relationships. I'm interested af in Scavenger's Reign.
I feel like we have a rough indentation / substructure of how we will process things from birth, but that every event thereon will shape it further.
As well, we know ourselves in reference to others: "I'm like A, not like B, but most like C. What lies beyond C? I might see myself reflected best over there."
"Rules do not exist to bind you; they exist so you may know your freedoms."
Parameters outline a given environment within which to experiment and explore. It's one antidote to Blank Page Syndrome, for example.
I have to disagree entirely about personifying the automated house in There Will Come Soft Rains (fantastic name), but otherwise yes. This is exactly my understanding.

It's also a good description of why I feel so confused by others.
People tend to feel more secure (than I do) in their identities as individuals, group members, and (neurotypical / neurodefault / neurorigid) humans.
[P] I'm at a point in my life where I'm 100 per cent convinced that neurodiversity is the shackles breaking, and the introspection floods in. "Why do I do this? Why is it desired that I do this?" Contemplative rumination just seems to be more of a norm for neurodiversity. I can spot it on the Internet so easily. Hiverarchy just parrots things, they have this database of responses, which is why original thought utterly confounds them. I see this all the time.

[P] I look out at my little lawn and it's such a beautiful, incredible thing! I wonder how many species of fungi and beetles are lurking there? I know the barbarians of the USA force people to mow, but where one has the choice to rewild and doesn't? It's just evidence that neurotypical hiverarchy are denied introspection, their shackles keep their heads empty. If that wasn't true? There'd be a lot of: "Why do I mow/strim?" But that never, ever happens.

[P] I still think it's funny that, as an autist, I'm described as a creature of routine. Am I now? You mean like neurtotypical hiverarchy who maintain lawns as a routine? Who force others to maintain laws as a routine? I've always seen neurotypicals as the creatures of absolutely mindless routine, just obeying, following their parameters, doing the "done thing," and never questioning it or thinking about it. That was always such an anomaly.

[P] Let's see...
The evils of lawns:
* Biodiversity loss;
* Horrendous resource waste (water/gas/electric);
* Pollution (noise/carbon);
* Loss of natural surrounds (proven to be good for mental health);
* Screwing over pollinators THAT WE NEED.
Pros of lawns?
* Really mindless fire prevention when better options exist, so... not much of a pro;
* Err... that's it.
Lawns are an objective evil forced by the mindless routine-following robots of hiverarchy.

When #marine animals ingest #DomoicAcid, they endure severe neurological symptoms such as seizures, disorientation, &, ultimately, death. These incidents often necessitate euthanasia due to the high mortality rates associated w/this toxin. This alarming rise in domoic acid poisoning cases not only threatens individual #MarineSpecies but also highlights the broader impacts #humans have on marine #ecosystems.
