I hate how autism gets seen as something that needs to be avoided or cured when I really think it just needs to be accepted and understood it makes me sad people care more about trying to stop it then trying to accept and help the people who have it

Autistic and neurodivergent people deserve far better than a government looking to prevent their existence, let alone one that will invent fictitious ways to do so that puts everyone in danger

Trump is calling autism “out of control” No… Autism stigma is out of control Ableism is out of control Inaccessibility to basic healthcare and support is out of control

The problem is not autism or neurodiversity. It's our deeply ableist society and lack of support. That's it. If we didn't make things so hard for people with disabilities and their families, if people just had support no matter what, then the focus would be completely different.

Autism does not need to be cured! It's the rest of society that needs to be more accommodating!! Neurodivergence and disabilities cause suffering only because we have so little understanding or support. Treating it as something "broken" or "wrong" only enforces that, please just help people instead.

I suppose it’s a fitting end to summer to get caught in a rainstorm while walking the dog (it’s ok we really need the rain). 🌧️

Bored enough to actually get through my to-do list this weekend.

a reminder ! also I still have so many of these :)! your support helps me scrap by and also be able to support mutual aid efforts when and where I can ! michiums.bigcartel.com

Here is a link to Bluesky's request form in case you want to ask them to reconsider their ToS.

If you want to push back against censorship, here’s some actions to take. Censoring *yourself* is not the way. Please listen to those who are most affected (nsfw artists) and what they’re asking us to do which is not to be silent!

Covid is a social justice issue, especially now that governments have abandoned us in favour of “you do you” policies that leave the vulnerable by the wayside Wearing a mask is a form of resistance It protects your health & the health of your community It says you don’t view others as expendable

Shop orders are down for the month and unfortunately I have bills to pay. If you are able and interested, please check out my shop and pick up a cute sticker or two. :3c Thank you! 🌱 keymonstershop.etsy.com #art #artistsupport #blueskynightmarket #artistshop

I think everyone wanting to fragment into a bunch of small niche isolated sites effectively smashing collective community when it's needed most is kinda bad, actually.

Once again I am asking small business owners, artists and artisans, and anyone else who purchases packaging to do it anywhere but Uline

The good news is I work for myself so nobody can fire me for anything I say. The bad news is I barely make any money. 😅

That we stopped making electronics with colorful translucent casings. Most tech is black and white and boring now.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

Reposting for the morning crowd!

Are you an AI hater? Then these pins are for you! Just dropped in my shop! Made from eco-friendly recycled acrylic. ✨ shop.breelundberg.com/product/anti...

it turns out making art is spiritually and emotionally fulfilling. has anyone looked into this

Spent a nice morning sitting outside hanging out with a friend. I know it doesn't fix the world's problems to simply log off, but it's important especially right now to take care of your mental health and stay connected to your friends, neighbors, etc! Fulfill yourself and be there for others.

Wear a face mask when you go out in public- if for no other reason than knowing that they want you too sick, too exhausted and too burned out from dealing with back to back respiratory infections to speak up for yourself & your community. You deserve to protect your health.

I did some freelance work for Little Rocket Lab and it releases next month!! You should check it out!

It's easy to give into panic and there IS a ton of things to be afraid of right now and in the future But what I am holding onto is that the truth of the matter is that the current regime is incredibly unpopular and relying on projecting the image of overwhelming power because they don't have it

I’m so sad it’s getting dark before 8pm now. RIP Summer.

Help a Disabled Trans PoC w/ Surgery! #TransCrowdfund #MutualAid My total hysterectomy is scheduled for Oct 8, 2025 & I have my top surgery consultation on Sep 17, 2025. Big problem: I'm poor and can't afford the hysto. Bigger problem: I may not have insurance next year. gofund.me/99801fcf7

I know preordering books really helps authors/artists because it shows the publisher there's a lot of interest in it, but also now I can't remember which books I've already preordered 🥴 I guess I'll just wait to see what shows up haha.

btw Costco seems to have the cheapest updated COVID vax. You can get it without a card at the pharmacy and they do take walk-ins. If you’re also uninsured due to the massive amounts of layoffs this year, they also take this goodrx coupon to lower the cost of www.goodrx.com/comirnaty?sr...

Semi-regular reminder that you limit your potential reach on bluesky when you don't include alt-text on your images. If you can't or won't for reasons, this is just to let you know there is a pretty dedicated core of people on here who won't repost anything without alt-text as much as we'd like to.

being trans is awesome and trans people are amazing and gender is a dumb box and anyone who makes their own crowbar to smash it from inside is a hero actually.

If you see this quote with the energy you bring to Bluesky. (I’m continuing the Star Trek theme)

we do not need to be aware of every republican stunt legislation and you should use some discernment on sharing things that are crafted to raise your blood pressure! if you want to do education about how stunt legislation can lead to real shit you need to provide context and not just legal text

If you are a fan of medieval-style Little Guys check out what my friend is working on! 👀 (Everything they do is very cool).

please stay alive, 1) so you can see a better future, and 2) so you can help make it

Had a blood draw this morning and had the nicest phlebotomist, she was so excited about all my tattoos and we joked how she’s a daytime vampire. 😂

Please don’t mark your online shop orders as a “gift” or ask shops to do this for you! Maybe you can get away with it a few times (I’m sure some people do), but it’s very bad advice. You absolutely don’t want to get in trouble for tax or mail fraud.

Obsessed with KASSO, it’s a Japanese skateboarding show in the style of Ninja Warrior. (Full eps on youtube with subtitles).

you know what, I’m not going to quote a hateful story clearly posted to make people angry and frightened. The New York Post has 2.7k followers on this site and most of their posts have zero likes, reposts, and replies. a terrible paper run by ignorant bigots who don’t deserve your attention
