In my posh neighbourhood, filled with wealthy capitalist hotshot types, there's a bus stop where a bunch of kids go to hang out in the evenings. Sometimes, they'd smash stuff (while riding around in their e-bikes) and just be a nuisance. And each time, the neighbours would call the cops on them.

PSA Autism is a spectrum because it includes autistic people who have no visible signs of autism, autistic people who have every stereotypical visible sign of autism & autistic people who fall everywhere in between. We all exist. We are all valid. And we are all deserving of support.

I was going to post a photo of some cute birds I saw today, but I was afraid blue resist accounts would find me.

Please allow me to summarize Royce White's entire political strategy: "You're a cuck."

Can't remember if it was this bad before COVID but I'm seeing an alarming spreading of what I'll call Airport Behavior to other public places. Obliviousness to other people's existence, ineptitude at navigating the environment. "Is this your first time at the grocery store" type stuff

Housing, food, education, medical care. None of this should require citizenship. Why would you not want this for everyone? What do you think you'd need to go without to make this possible?

Husband had to get up at an ungodly hour this morning and said he would feed the cat. He thought he was being nice and saving me a job so was surprised by my horrified "No don't do that!". We would have been condemned to 5.20am cat feeding FOREVER. Precedent, thy name is cat.

Meanwhile there have been many studies of vaccines and autism with data from million of children. There is no association.

And has actually thought about what they're saying, actually believes it, and might even have the knowledge and fortitude to stick with it against a hostile body politic.

i wish neil armstrong had brutally flubbed the moon landing line. that's one small step for moon. one small step ON moon. for a man. one giant man.. 's leap. one GIANT LEAP for moonkind. moon man. one giant moon for manmind. you can hear buzz rollin around in the lander, just howling

I took care of numerous kids with fulminant hepatitis B in the 90s before the switch to getting the first vaccine at birth. I don’t recall having one since. I do not miss caring for that disease.

1. Over Thanksgiving, texts from Dem. Sen Ruben Gallego leaked where he repeats far-right talking points on masculinity, lamenting that Democratic women "look like men." Using far-right gender-panic rhetoric will not ingratiate the Democratic Party towards men. Subscribe to support our journalism.

It’s officially ‘Imaginary War on Christmas’ season again. Here’s an idea for the Christofascists: how bout y’all put the Christ back in Christianity. Until then, just STFU.

Did you see how the other day some New Yorkers stopped ICE agents from going anywhere just by standing there in large numbers blocking their way? We need more of that. A lot more of that.

Yuanxin, the 6 year old kidnapped by ICE earlier this week, has been located in the Office of Refugee Resettlement. This is also where they sent Emmanuel Garcia, the 15 year old autistic boy who went missing in Texas. It took his mother 50 days to get him back. We must get Yuanxin out faster.

The ongoing weaponization of the Hortmans' murder by petty DFL apparatchiks is pretty distressing.

To me, Christmas isn't about perfection or consumerism. It's about family togetherness. It's about teaching the yule moose to fly. It's about psychicly connecting with the Peppermint Man and viewing his dreams. It's about directing the cranberry gremlins in a stage production of A Christmas Carol.

Every day I get a couple of dozen demands from Zionists that I debate them. And as my platform has grown across Threads and Bluesky, they've only increased. I don't debate genocide apologists. It's why I turn down interview requests from shows that platform Alan Dershowitz and Bari Weiss,

There are so many people living lives of quiet dignity despite horrific medical news or poverty or tragedy where every day they still wake up and try to be good people in the world even as the world pushes against them and it makes me even angrier at the absolute shitheads that rule over things

I spent the first 20yrs of my adult life without dental insurance and, therefore, without dental care. I now do my 2x/yr and just got done with my winter cleaning. The mental wellbeing alone is incredible. We absolutely have to include dental care in Universal Healthcare plans, especially for kids.

ICE is literally camping out in their cars near schools. They are preying on us when we're trying to collect our kiddos from school. I need you to do whatever you can to fight this fascist shit. bsky.app/profile/iruk...

Yeah I like waymo. Waymo public transit, bike lanes and benches!

Brutal day in Minneapolis, but there were some shining moments of neighbors stopping some abductions, kicking Nazis out of some spaces, chasing them out of others. And there were about 1,000 ppl on an excellent ICE WATCH training zoom led by States At The Center and Protect Rogers Park in Chicago.

I'm rocking the wee lad to sleep in an easy chair with a squeak that sounds EXACTLY like the range-finding motion detectors from ALIENS.

So when the gods accept human sacrifice, it's fine, but when they leave and a woman takes matters into her own hands (& knife) to call them back, suddenly it's a problem 🙄 NO GODS FOR DROWNING hits exactly 3 months from today from @badhandbooks.bsky.social www.barnesandnoble.com/w/no-gods-fo...

@jcsalterego.bsky.social, you have my heart 🫶

Minneapolis, ICE is fucking your city up, stealing your neighbors. A lot of us are showing up, chasing ICE off, coordinating with business, protecting schools at release. Good on you, and thank you! There are LOTS of ways to show up! Connecting with your neighbors is step 1. Love, and solidarity!

Other ways: - Program (612) 441-2881 into your phone and call it if you see ICE - Print or buy bulk whistles - Print and fold zines - Talk with friends, family, and neighbors about ICE - Follow @mspwhistles.bsky.social - Take a Mirac or Monarca training >

Protect Trans kids, protect immigrants, the unhoused, the disabled. Stand with women, with children, with the indigenous, the incarcerated. STAND THE FUCK UP. EVERY TIME.

This also means your at-risk neighbors are going to need you, trusted connections, to step up and help with transportation.

#Minneapolis, word is our Somali community - our NEIGHBORS - are getting dogpiled on social media. Stand up and make noise for our neighbors! They need us! Be kind, AND brook no bullshit from bigots. Do not engage, just block. Deprive them of your attention.

If Stranger Things was remade today and set the same number of years ago as S1 it would be in 2003 and instead of a resurgence of a Kate Bush song it would be Hoobastank, the kids would dress up for Halloween like Neo and Trinity. No I can’t prove this is actually correct I am not going to do math.

1725: Why the fuck did I lose my left hand for the same wages I earned while being 10x more productive than last year? Who the fuck is benefiting here? 2025: Why am I losing my job to a machine that encourages kids to kill themselves and can't actually do my job? Who the fuck is benefiting here?

"I produce 10x more than I did last year but still make the same money. And the machine I now use eats human fingers. Who the fuck is benefiting here?" Not a difficult issue, not a weird position for a person to have.

An easy way to explain luddites: Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand. And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before. That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

“I just want there to be a car that drives itself so I can get places without thinking about it” hello, please meet: train. also see: bus

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Concessions to fascists NEVER decreases harm, never protects anyone, & only accelerates & broadens harm to the next marginalized party, until all you have are white people supplicating to other white people because now even white people are in danger. You have to stand NOW, OR THE DAMAGE INCREASES.
