Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link)

In sum, we found differences in the appearance of facial expressions, how these expressions unfold over time, and how smoothly they are formed. These mismatches may help to explain why autistic people struggle to recognise non-autistic expressions and vice versa...đź§µ16

Autistic and non-autistic people may express emotions in ways that are different but equally meaningful - almost like speaking different languages. So, what has sometimes been interpreted as difficulties for autistic people may reflect a two-way misunderstanding...đź§µ17

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
