  1. Koa’s last family (puppy) outing 🐾

    On Wednesday, April 22nd 2026, the day had finally arrived! Both Koa and his brother Pumbaa were going to their new fur-ever homes that day. 🥰 But, before it was time to sign the papers, and to pay the bills 😉, Joke had scheduled a special outing for the pups, and their new owners (as they were needed to support the pups during the outing). We went to a home for the elderly, that's about one kilometer away from where Joke lives. She had a cart with a crate on it, Stefan was young and strong, so he pulled the cart to the care home (and back again). It was a bit of a hike for my mum, but she made it there, and also back again, and she did the best to support the pups and Joke. The pups had a great time, I think most of the elderly loved it, and it was so good to see their joy, and to share in it. ❤️ […]

But I am also willing to listen to members and try to make this the best community I can. The subject matter is far less strict than at r/blind, since not everything needs to be related to blindness. This is more of a place where we can get to know each other and have fun. We allow sighted people to join as well. However, I do ask that only those over eighteen do so. Please also note that this is not a therapy/support group. If you need that, then r/blind is for you.

  10. Hype for the Future 51J: Supporting the Community

    Preamble Starting in 2026, novaTopFlex shall notably refuse connections originating at educational institutions and everyday situations. Rather than prioritizing the everyday people, novaTopFlex shall begin prioritizing the least frequent people, especially the people from events in the month of July. By limiting the social network to exclusively the summer months and summer events, novaTopFlex can select the ideal people for the novaTop Community while also ensuring the continued flow of […]

  11. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    The people we meet are the playwrights and stage managers of our lives: they cast us in a role, and we play it whether we will or not. It is not so much the example of others we imitate as the reflection of ourselves in their eyes and the echo of ourselves in their words.

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 130 (1955)

  12. A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

    Philosophy complains that Custom has hoodwinked us, from the first; that we do everything by Custom, even Believe by it; that our very Axioms, let us boast of Free-thinking as we may, are oftenest simply such Beliefs as we have never heard questioned. Nay, what is Philosophy throughout but a continual battle against Custom; an ever-renewed effort to transcend the sphere of blind Custom, and so become Transcendental?

    Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
    Sartor Resartus, Book 3, ch. 8 (1834)

  18. Professional socialization in veterinary education - or teaching veterinarians how to be veterinarians - starts before students arrive at university. But are we expecting too much from them if we expect them to already have experience when they arrive at 18 years old?

  24. Why Do Autistic People “Make A Scene?”

    Because you don’t bloody listen.

    Photo by Jason Rosewell on Unsplash

    Going to events can be challenging when you are autistic. It is definitely challenging for me. I have noise sensitivity and social anxiety. I’ve recently learned that I’m liable to crash if I’m overstimulated during a social event. Fun!

    I’m going to talk about a specific event here. It is a brunch that happens monthly and is for bisexual people. They actually don’t card for sexual orientation, but if you’re not an ally, you’re not going to enjoy yourself. This event used to happen in a locale that I would be able to tolerate. I’ll note that there is no social situation that is absolutely without risk for me, but some places are definitely worse than other places.

    I’ve actually talked about this event in a prior article:

    https://www.yourautisticlife.com/2024/06/09/when-being-social-destroys-you

    After I wrote that article, I went into the Discord server to tell folks about what happened to me the day before, and I referred to the article I linked to above.

    Even before that event happened, I had suggested another location to the people in the Discord server. I was told that my suggestion would be forwarded to the person responsible, but this did not happen. Generally, speaking, I think it is fallacious to insist that unless you can come up with a solution, then you mustn’t complain. However, I do prefer to present a solution when I can, and this time I could. I had been to this other place before and did not recall much trouble there.

    Note that I’m not the only member of the group who is not fond of the new location for the brunches. Other members have perhaps not crashed like I did, but they have complained about the noise, or the subpar food offerings. Some of them complained before in the event chat on Meetup, but they weren’t heard either.

    So, today, I went into the chat for the Meetup event and copied and pasted what I had put into the Discord server, minus the references to my article. It was a relatively restrained message. I laid the facts, and said that I had suggested another location, and that as far as I could tell nothing happened with my suggestion.

    As far as I am concerned, I did not make a scene, but I’m half-expecting some ableist idiot to come over and accuse me of such a thing. I really thought about making a scene, however.

    Why would I make a scene?

    Because, so far, nobody who can make a change has listened to my complaints and the complaints of other members. This is why. We autistic people are always in the minority, and we end up being overlooked. Our needs are ignored, until, one day, we figure that we’re only going to be heard if we make a scene.

    I thought about it, but I did not. I don’t know about next time.
