This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves

Nothing gives me joy like finishing 3 books in 3 days. I read Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer, Adrift in Currents Clean and Clear by Seanan McGuire, and The Space Cat by Nnedi Okorafor. Adrift in Currents was probably my favorite. The Space Cat was first graphic novel of the year.

After enacting the largest SNAP cuts in history, Trump is now scrapping the federal government's annual report on hunger in America. The utter cruelty of this regime knows no bounds.

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

I finished Endling by Reva last night and this novel will stay with me for a long time. It was so good.

Turns out the only thing stopping us from having a dictator as President all these years was that we didn’t elect one.

Hey @lukelukeluke.bsky.social I found a nice mushroom growing in my grandmother’s yard!! It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a chicken-of-the-woods.

Took a picture of this good kitty today. No editing. His eyes really are this color.

Came across this quote today (I checked, Carl Jung really did write this, it's from his autobiography): "Loneliness does not come from having no people around you, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to you." - Carl Jung Anyway this is how autistic masking feels.

Pepperoni is home safe!! Dehydrated but I will take him to the vet tomorrow.

MISSING: Pepperoni Cream, tan, and gray Lynx Pt. Siamese cat. Got out the morning of July 4th. Indoor only, microchipped, and vaccinated. Lost near the intersection of Bells Lake Rd. and Optimist Farm Rd. in Wake County. $$ REWARD FOR SAFE RETURN $$

The weaponized Christian defense of the state of Israel. Doesn’t mean we don’t support our Jewish friends, but Israel doesn’t belong in your end times theories. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8ru8Mf3/

What today feels like

"We cannot build bananas in America" is an all timer

Just found out the farmland and mature deciduous forest next door will be sold. It has vernal pools, trout lilies, orchids, newts, and salamanders. I’m feel sick. It will likely be clear cut for houses.

The DX of ASD makes it very clear that the full impact of an Autistic Person's Autistic traits may not fully manifest (and therefore qualify the person for a Dx of ASD) until social demands exceed the person's capacity (like ... you know ... puberty, adulthood, etc ...)

No!! This is not okay.

Omg. The if H5N1 virus transfers to humans as is it has a 50% fatality rate. In pregnant woman the fatality rate is 99%. RFK Jr. wants us dead. How long before they truly ban the antidepressants that keep me alive?

It doesn’t matter what RFK Jr. says. Pregnant women need to be able to chose a vaccine if they want to.

The cognitive dissonance in the white evangelical church is enough to make one go crazy. I was taught to care for the poor and needy. Instead they cheer Medicaid cuts. I was taught to welcome the immigrant. Instead they celebrate “Mass Deportation” to concentration camps.

I leave Merlin recording when doing yard work so that I can check it and see if it picked up a new-to-me bird. Tonight I very clearly heard a bird say “witchy witchy witchy” so I checked. Common Yellow Throat. Couldn’t find it. Was almost dark. I hope it will still be here in the morning.

I loved this book so much as a kid. I read it several times and just had to have it when I saw it at the used bookstore yesterday. I’m looking forward to rereading it. Any Cynthia Voigt fans out there? 💙📚 #booksky

Hot cornbread straight from the oven that’s been slathered with butter is one of my favorite things in the whole world.

Got a lifer Summer Tanager in my yard today. A bright red male visited the mulberry tree. I had heard them many times but never actually put my eye on one until today. 🪶 #ABirdFromTheLord #10MinMerlin

😂😂😂

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

I just had a yellow-billed cuckoo in my yard!! Heard it very clearly and saw the white spots on its tail as it flew away. That’s a lifer for me. 🪶

I follow Jesse Welles for #DailyAntiFascJam candidates, but this one is about...birds. I get mildly uncomfortable when my multiple interests overlap haha. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T2Q...

I heard a Swainson’s Thrush sing today for the first time. What a beautiful song. 🪶

More peonies and our amazing rhododendron. 🌱

Blanket flowers.

Dianthus flowers from the garden.

It’s National Adopt A Shelter Pet Day. Pepperoni assures you it’s the best thing you can do.

Peonies.

Saw a great blue heron hunched over into a ball like an absolute gremlin. 10/10 no notes. 🪶 #birds

i hope it's SHITTY in the white house or whatever taylor said 😤

This cream is so helpful for pain and muscle tightness. I put it anywhere I have pain. I have no idea how it works so don’t ask. Not a sponsored post, but I found it when it was recommended by someone I followed on Twitter way back, so I thought I would share in case it can help someone else.

Difference in news reporting: The plunging stock market has been the lead story all day on CNN. On FOX, however, it is buried 5 stories down and still doesn’t mention how much the stock market fell since Trump’s tariff war was announced yesterday. SMH.

Every time I see a post about masking I have a hard time figuring out if the person is talking about autistic masking or face masking bc of the ongoing pandemic. But I do both, so I guess I have my bases covered.

🤣

Question about eBird submissions. Do they require a photo to be published as a verified rare bird alert or does a Merlin sound recording with visual identification count? 🪶💙

Just got a lifer Louisiana Waterthrush!!! #ABirdFromTheLord #10MinMerlin

*Slams dictionary shut til Monday*

Today’s Strands puzzle at NYT is a great one for all the birders out there! 🪶💙

I wish I could write about all the birds I saw today (great blue heron in flight, red-shouldered hawk lining its nest and feeding young, eastern Phoebe wagging its tail) but the biggest surprise was a blue-gray gnat catcher. Didn’t know they were some of the earliest migrators. Love their call.

@skwinnicki.bsky.social @courtneyellis.bsky.social Went looking for this guy today. He’s been a bit of a local celebrity with his mallard girlfriend. Volume up for wood duck whistle. #ABirdFromTheLord #10MinMerlin
