When we tell our neurodivergent children to make eye contact, sit still, stop looking distracted, stop crying, draw like the other children etc. We're telling them their comfort does not matter. - Virginia Spielmann, PhD #Neurodivergent #Parenting #Autism #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #ADHD

Paper straws, a haiku: These things are just ass Limp sensory hellishness Who the fuck likes them #haiku #PaperStraws

April Fool's Day is for allistic folks- us neurodivergent ones already spend every single day trying to discern people's intentions. #AprilFoolsDay #AprilFools #Neurodivergent #AuDHD #ActuallyAutistic #ADHD

Trans Day of Visibility is a great day to practice introducing yourself using pronouns. 💗🤍💙 *Reminder that using the singular they is already a common part of our language,"Someone left their keys!" etc. so fussing about it is just a tell. #TransDayOfVisibility #TransLivesMatter #ProtectTransKids

The discrepancy between how eager a man is to play devil's advocate before being a woman's advocate is very telling. 😈💁🏼‍♀️

This avocado was raised in an upper middle class home with both parents and no I will not elaborate. #Avocado #Wholesome

A Brazilian mother was acquitted of murder after she cut off the genitals and burned the body of her bf when she caught him trying to rape her 11 year old and we absolutely love to hear it. 💅 May all pedos find the same end. 💁🏼‍♀️

“They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor.” — Tupac said it years ago… and here we are. The Pentagon is now asking for an additional $200 BILLION for this war. We always find the money for war. But when it comes to housing, healthcare, or feeding people? Suddenly it’s crickets.

If you can accept celebrities like Shawn Carter/Jaÿ-Z changing their names for whatever (*cough*namesinthefiles*cough*) reason, then you can accept trans people changing theirs for life-affirming ones. #EpsteinFiles #JaÿZ #TransLivesMatter #ProtectTransKids

It seems like "Inside the Manosphere" would smell like Axe body spray and inadequacy. 💨🫩 #InsideTheManosphere

Bernie Sanders is proposing a 5% billionaire wealth tax that would fund $3,000 checks to the tune of 4.4 billion dollars that would fund $3,000 stimulus checks for Americans making under $150k. #TaxBillionaires #TaxTheRich

"The Kansas state government has invalidated the driver’s licenses and birth certificates of transgender residents who changed the gender on those documents, in accordance with a law that took effect on Thursday." #TransLivesMatter #ProtectTransKids #ProtectTransYouth

If a (former) prince can be held accountable, so can a president. 💁🏼‍♀️ #EpsteinFiles #ArrestThemAll #AccountabilityIsComing

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

11 years ago this week, cancer stole Jeff Rusch from the world. He was a wonderful husband and father, loved by so many. In his honor, on Feb 21 I’m going to skate the Lake Placid Olympic oval to raise money for cancer research. fundraise.scottcares.org/lakeplacid/z...

Thinking of you and Alex and remembering Jeff today, @zoekeating.com. 🫶🏻 I had tickets to see you and Amanda that night, and my father was treated for cancer at UCSF, too. It's not the same, but I still have a clue and I know no matter how it's been, they're always deeply missed. ❤️‍🩹 #FuckCancer

The not-Prince Andrew got arrested today over the Epstein files- and it's his birthday! Love that for him. 🥰🎉🥳🙌🎊🖕🏽 #EpsteinFiles #ArrestThemAll

If anyone wants to know what to get me for Valentine's Day, I wear a size FUCK THE SYSTEM.🖕🏽🧊🚔🤡🚫

CANNIBALISTIC JELLYFISH WITH DISAPPEARING ANUSES CAUSE CHAOS IN VENICE. 🤨🪼🙈🍑🕳😱🌊🛶🏘 Anyhow, sweet dreams...

Anytime one of my kids says 6 7, I ask them, "Why is 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 8 9!" and they look at me with the same 😑 face I just made and I feel like nature is healing a little.

BERNIE SANDERS: Do vaccines cause autism? BHATTACHARYA: I do not believe that the measles vaccine causes autism SANDERS: Nah. Uh uh. I didn't ask measles. Do vaccines cause autism? BHATTACHARYA: I have not seen a study that suggests any single vaccine causes autism

The date for the next No Kings Day is set. But this is a save the date, not a “sit back and wait.” 🧵

Gentle parenting doesn't mean permissive parenting- and those that equate the two often equate the polar opposite as being harsh with being loving and should probably sit with that. 1/2

Happy birthday to both Dolly Parton and Janis Joplin, both born on this day, three years apart. 🥳🎶✨️

“I must remind you that starving a child is violence. Neglecting school children is violence. Punishing a mother and her family is violence... Ignoring medical need is violence. Contempt for poverty is violence.” - Coretta Scott King

Someone tell Trump we don't need a new war, we have plenty of conflict at home.

Sending love to any and everyone struggling this holiday season. 🎄🫶🏻✨️ #SendingLove #Holidays #Holidaze #SingleParents #SingleMoms #SingleDads #CommunityCare #MentalHealth #Grief #CommunitySupport

Easier on the budget, environment, and mind. 🫶🏻🎁😌✨️ It takes a village sharing what we can, not individuals grinding themselves into oblivion for performative capitalism. It's about supporting each other and making memories, now and the rest of the year, too. 💚 #Holidays #SecondHand #MutualAid #Gift

MASSIVE FUCKING SHOUT OUT to single moms trying to pull off magic right now with limited support. I see you. You're doing great. Your kids are going to love it and you. 🤞🎄🪄🎁✨️

He really just said, "Let them eat cake." 🖕🏽😤🫸🎂 What kind of leader wants to actively take food out of the mouths of its country's most vulnerable population? Absolutely vile behavior. www.npr.org/2025/11/09/n...

“The ripple effect on families, children, and communities is going to be enormous.” Cleaners, nannies, and home health aides work full-time—and still disproportionately rely on food stamps. Trump's shutdown is hitting them especially hard.

My phone has a block/cord combo that is so slow, it barely keeps it from dying. If I unplug it to utilize a function, it plugs back in and stays at a now lowered rate until it has a large chunk of time to recharge and do nothing else. This post is about Capitalism. Fix the block. #PovertyTax

*rolls apocalypse headline dice* 🎲 Yikes, "Aggressive monkeys, okaaay... 😅😈🐒 *nervously rolls again* ...with Covid ~AND~ STIs?! 💉🤨 *rolls a last time* ESCAPE FROM AN OVERTURNED TRUCK, I'm out. This timeline is cooked.

Poor people aren't the problem, the fact that society creates them and then punishes them for being poor is. ❤️‍🩹 #PovertyTax

Finally, some good news- and it's from The Bay, too! 🌉✊🏼 "A federal judge in San Francisco on Tuesday indefinitely barred the Trump administration from firing federal employees during the government shutdown." #GovernmentShutdown #Meliorism #SanFrancisco #SF #California #NorCal #Resist

In March, Trump cut $500 million in deliveries to Food Banks (about a quarter of their federal funding) causing millions of pounds of food to go to waste and food banks to struggle to fill the gaps at a time where food insecurity is at its highest since The Great Recession. 😒🤬🖕🏽 This is diabolical.

They've officially announced no food aid in November- it's about to get realllyyyy rough for millions of families. And for what?

Giving shelf stable foods before an EBT pause is good, but give it *to the parents*. Ramen isn't a treat. Kids are trick or treating for candy, and even the ones that are about to be food compromised deserve to have treats- and may have no other way to get them. 🎃🍭🍫🍬 #Halloween #TrickOrTreat

Right wing american christianity is an interesting religion. It grants privileges to its adherents, but obligations to everyone else. bsky.app/profile/razz...

If you learn of someone suffering and reach out to shake a finger instead of lending a hand, you are a bad person, and I feel sorry for any children in your care. Stop fucking judging how people suffer, assholes.

The rumors about ICE getting glitter bombed are just that- until someone makes them true... 💁🏼‍♀️👮‍♂️✨️ 🔫 Two people in Portland got 5 days in jail for dousing cops with glitter and lube in 2019- one cop said the glitter "remained in his service weapon afterward". 😂

Terrifying. An Associated Press investigation found more than 420 bills attacking longstanding public health protections such as vaccines, milk safety and fluoride have been introduced in statehouses across the US so far this year. Around 30 bills in 12 states have already been enacted or adopted.

For my forever Space Sis: 🎂 💞

Using the National Guard to support food banks > using the National Guard as a personal army to hunt brown people and anyone protesting doing so. California gets it. 🍽🌁 ❤️‍🩹 (Also there's a Karl emoji?!)

People having ✨️opinions ✨️ about how others feed themselves is wild. Mind your own plate. If you want others to be eating better by your standards, too bad. If you want them to be eating better by ~their own~ standards, give them the direct funds to do so or STFU. Stop mf judging how people eat.

When it was supposed to be, "Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!" but instead it's stressy, messy, extra depressy. 🍋🫠🫤

Sending care to so many who are gladiator fighting just to stay afloat right now. 🍋

Thread for stretching foods and low-budget recipes, it's about to get incredibly difficult for millions of Americans out here, myself included. 🫤🤔🍽🍚🫘🥫

42 million families, including mine, will not have SNAP funding in 2 weeks. 🍽 I encourage those of you able to do so to donate what you can to local food banks, and those of you in need to look up when and where they operate. There's no shame in needing food. ❤️‍🩹 #FeedingFamilies #CommunityCare
