      The Naming of Cats
      T. S. Eliot – 1888-1965

      The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
      It isn’t just one of your holiday games;
      You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatter
      When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
      First of all, there’s the name that the family use daily,
      Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo, or James,
      Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey—
      All of them sensible everyday names.
      There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
      Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
      Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter—
      But all of them sensible everyday names,
      But I tell you, a cat needs a name that’s particular,
      A name that’s peculiar, and more dignified,
      Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
      Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?
      Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
      Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
      Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum—
      Names that never belong to more than one cat.
      But above and beyond there’s still one name left over,
      And that is the name that you never will guess;
      The name that no human research can discover—
      But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
      When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
      The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
      His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
      Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
      His ineffable effable
      Effanineffable
      Deep and inscrutable singular name.

    One of the reasons crowds can be so exhausting is that the more people you are interacting with, the tighter the restrictions are on what you can do without bothering someone, and the more secret rules there are you can run afoul of.

      Sara doesn’t like people, Dina doesn’t know how to interact with people, maybe the party should have just been the four of them, Sarah, Dina, Becky, and Joyce, hanging out rather than inviting all these other folks.

    While Dina isn’t Misanthropic like Sarah, but she is not really sociable either, why would having a birthday party with lots of people be a good idea when neither guests of honor are good with people? They might as well have just had the party in that room with only Joyce, Becky, Sarah, and Dina eating pizza.

        Yes, I think this is the ideal situation for Dina. She can go into the main room, then come back in here when she gets overloaded. But Sarah would probably rather not be there at all.

          It hasn’t been confirmed, but the signs are there. Remember at Joyce’s dorm party, she was overwhelmed by trying to keep up with all the nonverbal communication she saw so she hid under Ethan’s jacket. She was either overstimulated, or has to manually process it all instead of having it come naturally.

            The official position is ‘Dina’s never been diagnosed’, which is pretty distinct from a yes or no. (Based on that, I think it’s highly unlikely she’ll be formally diagnosed over the course of the comic – she’s an adult woman of color and doctors fucking suck at recognizing it outside amab white children – but I consider it likely.)

              Yeah, she ain’t a little white boy in kindergarten, so there’s not much chance of a diagnosis.

          Direct confirmation might be more of a headache than shrugging. If it’s just extremely implied, we can spot the “clues” and nobody gets too bothered about the quality of representation. If there’s explicit confirmation, you get a certain crowd taking it as a Message that this is How All Autistic People Act, and then we all have to put up with them.

            It could also be that DYW never intended her to be autistic, but ended up writing her as autistic-appearing by coincidence. Far-fetched, yes, but he wouldn’t be the first.

              He’s definitely written that with Joyce. I think with Dina it started as unintentional but once enough people asked that he had a set response, a bit more intention may have sprung up.

              Ok…
              See the examples below the Comment box? You want:
              a href=”” title=””
              Except fuck that Titles part, because it sucks. So just:
              a href=””
              Put the title behind the close enclosure instead of inside as the example suggests.
              Then close it with /a, surrounded by the same less-than/greater-thans
              I can’t use the enclosures in my explanation because then they are treated deadly serious.
              In the quotes following href you place the URL.
              Title is whatever you want to call it.
              So this:
              a href=”” Title /a

                The thing between the <a> </a> is not the title, but the link itself. The title=”” bit is for the title text (hence the name). It’s a common mistake to make (I’ve made it myself), and I blame the programmers.

The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,
