What Recreators Can Do
It costs approximately $30,000 to incarcerate a juvenile offender for one year. If that money were available to Parks and Recreation, we could do the following:
- Take him swimming twice a week for 24 weeks,
- And give him four tours of the zoo, plus lunch,
- And enroll him in 50 community center programs,
- And visit the nature center twice,
- And let him play league softball for a season,
- And tour the gardens at the park twice,
- And give him two weeks of tennis lessons,
- And enroll him in two weeks of day camp,
- And let him play three rounds of golf,
- And act in one play,
- And participate in one fishing clinic,
- And take a four-week pottery class,
- And play basketball eight hours a weeks for 40 weeks,
- After which we could return to you: $29,125 and one much happier kid.

I know this is meant to demonstrate how much those funds could pay for instead of incarceration, but I was actually picturing this one kid’s tight schedule doing all this stuff.
He won’t have time to get into any more trouble with the law.

Someone in an autism facebook group I’m in just asked “How am I supposed to earn enough to make a living without burning out?”
Someone replied: “You’re not. Even neurotypicals can’t right now in the system designed for them. We’re the canaries in the coalmine. When we start failing, they know something is wrong.”
People keep saying, “Oh, everyone thinks they’re neurodivergent now!” or they’ll say it’s the foods or chemicals or whatever other nonsense they’ve fallen for, but to me the answer is so obvious?
We’ve gotten to a point that more and more people are being left behind by the system, making it so that neurodivergent parents who could get by fine *enough* in decades/centuries past are bringing children into a world that cannot and will not attempt to accommodate them. There’s nothing in the water and people aren’t faking, it’s just that this is no longer sustainable or livable and of course people with disabilities will be hit first and hit the hardest. There aren’t more people with it, it’s just harder to go through life without being aware that you’re not functioning the way your peers seem to be able to.

i learned that the ancient Egyptians used moldy bread on infected wounds and cuts in order to treat some patients, and no one understood why.
Until the year 1928, five thousand years later, modern science arrived if it was discovered by the scientist Alexander Fleming that penicillin had a great effect as an antibiotic on bacteria.
What is the relationship of bread to the subject?
When bread is left rot, it secretes a fungus called Penicillium, from which penicillin is derived, the most famous antibiotic used so far to treat bacteria known to the Egyptians 5,000 years ago.

Yeah you’re right. It WOULD be pretty fucked up if you were a swan but you were raised by ducks and you grew up never seeing another swan or even knowing that such a thing as a swan even existed so you just thought you were a duck with something super wrong with it.
