“Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye You were bigger than the whole sky” -Taylor Swift Although I knew this was coming, and I know about the Electron-Ion Collider, seeing it spelled out on the status screen I’ve been watching for the past decade hit me in a way I didn’t expect. I love you, RHIC 💔💝⚛️

My response to this dialogue, even for personality disorders, is to say exactly what I say in my recent essay: what convinces you so resolutely that being neurotypical absolves you from, or ensures less complicity with, social power? What convinces you that psychology determines *structural* abuse?

THIS ENTIRE THREAD

The fact that AI boosters always go to “but art is EXPENSIVE” is telling. Most people started with crayons, lined school paper, cheap pencils, ballpoint pen, the back of junk mail and misprinted pages. Art supplies can be outrageous but you can make art with literal trash

Currently at $180 with three URGENT needs: Rent, $700 due 11AM Sunday. Storage, $350 with late fee Groceries, $150 for 2-3 weeks #PleaseShare, and help if able? My survival depends on support like yours! #DisabilityCrowdFund #MutualAidRequest #KeepFolksAlive

You are not "stupid" or "silly" for being passionate or intense or all in on what you're into. Yes, you, like me & many other survivors, may want to work on regulating & shifting your attention-- but that passion can be one of our most effective tools in creating a life.

Being autistic is wondering if having the same meal again is a good idea. Of course, it's an amazing idea.

Okay, we all need a break from the never-ending dystopian horrors. I need someone who knows Central Asian and southern Slav baking to info-dump about burek, bouregi, bourekas, and everything in that family!

5 days late for storage means a fee brings it up to $350, but now I must prioritize rent, $700 due Sunday morning. #PleaseShare, and help if able? Complex disabilities, dealing with a death in my family. I cannot survive without your support. #DisabilityCrowdFund #MutualAidRequest #KeepFolksAlive

It needs to change DECADES ago, because this belief infects the core of my sense of self to the point where if I didn’t have immediate family that loved me, I would not be on this earth. …and the people who support the likes of RFK Jr. would be happy about that.

"Autism is not an excuse for bad behavior" This is true. It isn't. Because autism doesn't cause bad behavior. It causes *autistic* behavior.

Unfortunately, far too many people think autistic behavior = bad behavior. They see them as one and the same. And THIS is why we face so much discrimination. This is the root of all of it.

Because when autistic behavior = bad behavior... Autistic people = bad people. That's how the world sees us. And it needs to change.

As we mourn the murders of autistic teens Otis and Leon Clune at the hands of their parents, we are forced to again state that however difficult it may be for families to support their disabled loved ones, murder is never excusable. There are always other options. Always. tinyurl.com/NoExcusesTPGA

STILL NEED HELP IF ANYONE CAN PLEEEASE WE COULD REALLY USE IT THIS WEEK

So far I've gotten no progress on storage/groceries, so since it's Wednesday I need to switch priority to next Sunday's rent. Could you please help me reach $1150 ASAP? This would cover all three expenses. Any amount makes a difference, and sharing might give me more CHANCES to catch up.

I asked a similar question in a wedding group about wedding songs and the amount of "just let people enjoy things" responses I got was daft. No one is threatening you with the gulags love I just wanted someone else say A Thousand Years was a shit aong

The Oompa Loompa song. It’s why I haven’t watched any movies based on Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and will certainly not watch that specific movie again- even if the movie itself wasn’t that bad.

So pleased to be able to contribute beauty to the timeliness! #bloomscrolling #FlowerReport

Hey, friends and friendlies, I'm really trying to stay involved on here but I'm low on energy lately (even before learning this emotionally complicated sad news.) Can you help me out? Storage, groceries, and a jump start on next week's rent would make a huge difference for me.

Spoiler: abusive people & institutions will get angry & retaliatory when you don't give them the obedience, fear, &/or forgiveness they feel entitled to. Yes, their anger can be realistically dangerous & consequential-- which calls for a plan, not a surrender.

It's mentioned in the article, but I thought I'd share Rachel's video about the Canadian companies who are doing business with ICE to help boost both posts. ✊🇨🇦💖

So, uh, hey. I could use a pick-me-up after learning about my father's death. Even reaching storage, $300 due yesterday, would be a huge help, but I also need food soon, and would love a jump on next Sun's rent. #PleaseShare, and help if able? #MutualAidRequest #DisabilityCrowdFund #KeepFolksAlive

Falco's rent is in the clear, but xey still need food to fill xeir belly. Even $150.00 could get them through the week, likely more.

Narcissus 'Delibes' daffodils. Long-lived, reliable, multiplying, returning each year with minimal care. That is how they have survived on this patch next to a sidewalk. 💛 #DailyDaffodil #ColorADay #OrangeSun #SundayYellow #dailyflowers 🌱 #flowerreport #bloomscrolling

Please do not use the term “tax protest”! It has a very specific legal implication, and we all know feds love to trawl social media. There’s a reason people use the term “tax strike” because “tax protest” is the literal term the IRS Criminal Investigations uses for certain situations.

Tell me five classes you took in college: Electronics Optics Quantum mechanics Thermodynamics Electromagnetism I did the best in classes related to electromagnetism because I was already familiar with particle accelerators. Thermodynamics was a pain, though 🥴

May this precious child and his family be forever safe, and be able to rest and recover from their ordeal. It is my will that every family in detention is released immediately and given reparations.

Awesome!! Now let’s get Falco covered for groceries and storage!

$50 closer! Thank you so much- this brings my current total to $410! That's $290 away from rent, with about 2 and a half hours left until due. Can you be the next one to chip in? Any amount makes a difference! And please keep sharing! This is TIME SENSITIVE.

I've reached $230 so far, but only have about 14 hours to reach $700 rent, which is the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM that I can survive with. Please consider chipping in if it's in your power? And please keep sharing! This is TIME SENSITIVE.

Let’s not have another last minute panic! Keep the donations coming!

Boosting!!!! #HelpSky #MutualAid

Boosting! We need all hands on deck to help Falco! #MutualAid #HelpSky

Another $50 brings me to $230, thank you so much! Every bit helps- I've got only 20 HOURS to catch up to rent, and it would be a huge relief to reach it TODAY so I can actually sleep tonight. Please keep sharing? And chip in if you can?

$50 closer! Thank you so much- this brings me to $180, with $700 rent due tomorrow MORNING, before about 22 hours, and storage also due tomorrow. Anyone else able to chip in today and help me get a decent night's rest? Please keep sharing, and help if possible!

Ok, I know social media is a hellscape right now, but Falco really needs a lot of help this week. Please share and donate as much as possible. #MutualAid

I've reached $100 so far, needing $700 for rent by 11AM on Sunday, and because that's the 1st, also need $300 for storage. Also need groceries ASAP. #PleaseShare, and help a disabled queer fella if you can? #MutualAidRequest #DisabilityCrowdFund #KeepFolksAlive

🚨ATTENTION! CUTE CAT PIC! Now that I have your attention, Falco still has a long way to meet goals for rent and storage. Funds for groceries are also needed. This is an urgent need for survival so please help however you can as often as you can and thank you <3 #MutualAid #HelpSky

Another $50 received! This brings me to $100 so far, thank you so much! Need $700 rent BEFORE Sunday morning, and $300 storage also due that day since it's the 1st. Also need $150 for a grocery run ASAP. Can you please be the next to chip in, or at least share? Anything counts!

$50 received, thank you so much! I have until Sunday MORNING to reach rent, so it would be lovely if it can happen by Saturday NIGHT because that late night period can be super slow online. Please keep sharing, and chip in if you're able to?
