contrast.

i find it interesting, and probably ironic, that the little brother has subtitled his blog "A proud member of the reality-based community" and i have subtitled my blog "Not very factual on motorcycles either." These are each quotes. We both contain links in our subtitles explaining exactly what we mean by them. Neither subtitle is a particularly new addition.

There are things that make this particularly interesting, but i've never been a fan of overdiagnosis. Or excessive labelling. There is something very wrong about calling some people neurotypical and some people not, and i am resistant to this. i resent it. it pisses me off, a bit. it makes all the -isms so much easier. it is the same thing that is wrong with saying women don't make good scientists or that if we aborted the black babies we'd have less crime. Everything that is human is on a continuum. artificially putting divisions in it helps nobody. And is subtly offensive.

a friend of ours is French. His brother is in an actual functional monastery and is very happy for what our friend says is the first time in his life. and you can't help but wonder. are there monasteries in New England?
