@maureenjohnsonbooks.com when she sees me in Iceland

I’m beyond excited to go to Iceland with @maureenjohnsonbooks.com. She doesn’t know it yet, but I will be out on the wing of the airplane, sipping from a complimentary juice box I stole from the fancy lounge at the airport.

Staying at home, minding my own business, enjoying this little bit of luxury.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

If you are concerned about preventing #autism, please dial 1-800-URMOM to speak to a crisis specialist RIGHT NOW.

Donkeys at my local animal sanctuary having a party to celebrate one of them living there for 20 years.

The thing regular people don’t often grasp about ‘academic freedom’ is that if you don’t allow experts to research & teach in their fields of expertise, guided by their professional judgment & decades of training, you have effectively given up on the concept of knowledge & shut down your university

A dove of peace for anyone who is feeling frightened, anxious or sad about the state of the world around them today.

Well don't I feel stupid

@maureenjohnsonbooks.com check out this incredible license plate I saw today on my way home from a library technology conference

@maureenjohnsonbooks.com hearing that burning smell

Holy shit. So...not the kids the cops forced a confession from AT ALL.

What might not occur to you upon reading this headline is that, in other words, ICE is targeting gay men of color Every queer press org should be picking up this story

This activist's guitar was destroyed by ICE today. ICE fired multiple rounds of rubber bullets at us, and the guitar was struck. I am trying to raise $800 to help replace their instrument, which they rely on for gigs. I bet someone out here can straight up cover the cost. DM me.

The MAGA monocultural revolution is so thorough that Hegseth made it a priority to honor soldiers who carried out war crimes in 1890.

People who read THE CREEPING HAND MURDER and expect a murder mystery where the primary scene is a Burger King bathroom will be disappointed. However, that is its only fault.

It’s an emergency that so much bad stuff is happening and I’m going over to @maureenjohnsonbooks.com’s house to help out. Expect me at dawn, with edibles. We’re going up on the roof.

We can fuck up the days and in the nights, we go out and scour the streets for finding out.

Is it illegal to say the President has a teeny tiny weenie

so much depends upon a young adult antifascist with too much time on their hands lol

It is not a coincidence that most of the videos you see of ICE agents using excessive force seem to feature unarmed women half their size. 🙃

The interesting opposite of this is General Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord. Post-WW1 titan of the German army. Who Hitler DESPERATELY courted. von Hammerstein is one of only 3 figures believed to have told Hitler to fuck off to his face. He even thwarted Nazi attempts to politicize his own death. /1 🧵

I’m proudly autistic and the people who hate us are just losers who can’t cope with their own bullshit.

There are loads of old autistic people. Some of them are very famous

as far as autism is concerned, well, the people who want to eradicate it are a bunch of raw milk chugging dipshits who want to bring back polio. why would you listen to them about how it's worth reviving measles just to get rid of people like me? why would you listen to them about anything?

I find it weird that people are painting Mamdani as an extreme outsider. The US govt. has taken ownership positions in major US companies like Intel (and soon TikTok). Mamdani wants to open a city-run grocery store to sell cheap groceries. And you're telling me the second is a radical socialist.

My booty shorts say @maureenjohnsonbooks.com on the butt. This is the way we show respect in my community.

also not nearly as important but imagine dressing like this for work and not realizing (1) you’re the bad guy and also (2) look like a total loser

I'm appalled but unfortunately unsurprised to hear that ICE is targeting my neighbors in Rogers Park today. Unidentifiable and unaccountable agents are roaming the streets with their faces covered targeting schools and community centers. It needs to end. Abolish ICE.

Jesus

Madison Carstens, a transgender woman from Seattle, was attacked by six men in a transphobic hate crime on Sept 2. She suffered a ruptured eardrum - that may have permanently damaged her hearing - and a severe concussion that will keep her out of work for weeks or months. Do your thing, fam. (1/2)

the most important thing to remember when you see eugenicists who don’t believe that autistic people should exist rambling about “the autism epidemic” is not that they’re wrong about the “cause” (although they are absolutely wrong about it); it’s that they are eugenicists

If you take Tylenol, you start to love trains.

ICE agents held a man’s five year old autistic daughter and taunted him with “Is that your daughter” in an attempt to get him to come out of the house. They were rebuffed but two days later took him from his car.

this is the solution to the male loneliness epidemic I am 100% serious

I came to this conclusion because I was thinking someone should make a television show like the Love Boat for the young adult scene, which was the point at which I obviously realized that that is just Degrassi.

The Love Boat was DeGrassi for sixty year olds.

Not everyone is into reading. It explains many things.

I’m autistic but the police will never catch me. Suckers.

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Big news for hit-and-run murderers. It's not a crime to kill someone in NYC and flee the scene if you just tell the police you're a big dummy who didn't notice anything. 😑 (From Gothamist)

Teens in Europe go hard as hell

@maureenjohnsonbooks.com When it happens, it will legit be an annual holiday people celebrate.
