something i've learned over time online is that often times it's best to shut up and listen to what people with more experience and knowledge than me say

It seems like leftists are so ready to deny accusations of antisemitism on the left and so reluctant to listen to Jews about it. Like, when I talk about transphobia on the left, I don't face nearly the same level of denial and skepticism as I do when I talk about antisemitism.

CN: Suicide. What would meaningfully reduce suicide in autistic communities? Not hotlines or clinical interventions. Autistics want to be included. To have friends, meaningful work, financial security, & environments structured for autistic needs: blackspectrumscholar.substack.com/p/why-autist...

What’s at stake in the fight against age verification is not just a single bill in a single state. It’s about whether “protecting children” becomes a legal pretext for embedding government control online that reinforces specific moral and religious worldviews. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Continvoucly morging.

Never yell at a truly autistic person.

NOTE I am not suicidal; I don't drink or do drugs; my blood pressure and cholesterol are normal; I don't engage in high-risk activities; my vehicles are well kept and newly serviced. If anything happens to me, please assume foul play and only let state agents—not federal—access my data and drafts.

This is especially true for children from traditionally underserved communities, although this gap has narrowed in recent years." www.vanderbilt.edu/autismandinn... #autism

It's very easy to ignore when you're not the victim.

Lots of secret hostility. - Rudy is a hack - Blacksky is a semi-proprietary ethnocentric social network just “popping up” - Blacksky is masquerading as fully open source would you all like me to still speak at #AtmosphereConf this year? I don’t have to.
