I don't care if a non-disabled person accesses a disability accommodation for the same reason I don't care if a child whose parents are rich gets free lunch at school. We don't need to means test being a kind person. I have better things to do with my time than be a cop over social services.

If the writer’s eyes light up when asked, “why did the character do that?” then it’s real.

one of many parallels between anti-vaxxers & those who oppose gender-affirming care: they start by pretending they have a very specific concern (MMR vaccine, puberty blockers, etc), but once given any sway or say on the matter, they quickly strive to eliminate all of it

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Trump is reminding me of this stupid racist plot point in a story I made as a kid where Obama repainted the White House, black to match himself. Now Trump is filling the White House with orange and gold. My idiotic characterizations of Democrats have turned out to be predictions about Republicans.

I swear, some chronically online gay people act like being gay is the only thing someone could have to come out about. It can't ever be neurodivergence, or a religious belief or lack thereof, or a cringe hobby. Frozen and Encanto mean more to me as autism allegory films than as LGBT allegory films.

We need a Finding Nemo 3 called Finding Marlin where Marlin must traverse the ocean to find the magic Clownfish puberty-blocking mushroom so he won't turn into a woman. Along the way, he'll have to ask himself what he really wants. Is he just afraid of womanhood because of his dead wife?

So Jurassic Park is about a group of rich people who don't understand that biology is far more complicated than "there are only two genders" and how this ignorance toward gender fluidity in nature causes these rich people to lose their money and die.

Being autistic is being told why didn’t you ask for help. Because asking required social scripting, shame buffering, tone analysis, and a risk assessment.

While I think circumcision is largely unnecessary, I can't help but suspect some ulterior motive for this new circumcision scare. Probably anti-semitic. Or maybe closeted politicians are just starting a 10 year investment. And connecting it to autism is just laughable on its face.

I heard Catholics had a procession to try to give Eucharist to prisoners in ICE facilities. I wanted to compare it to the LDS church's lack of activism but found out that the LDS church doesn't even give sacrament to prisoners at all.

The effort put into understanding 3I/Atlas has been spectacular, imaginative, professional and well-organized. Planetary scientists don't need Avi Loeb put in charge of an international directorate to tell them how to do their jobs.

I wonder if casually coming out about something is harder for an autistic person because you turn said things into special interests. You don't talk much to begin with, so you talking is already not a casual thing and if you start talking about something, you want to infodump. So best not to talk.

Me: Creators must make reasonable efforts to keep their child audience and adult audience separate. Also me when I was under 18: *Watching both the Odin Wolf and the Nido Flow videos.* :D

Yeah. What does the right-wing think the Space Force does anyway? They aren't combating demons on Mars. They're sitting at computers, handling and watching spy satellites. Trump endorsed the Space Force. They should know this.

So... did we really just have a "nearly killing someone over an acorn dropping" on a global scale?

Transphobia was an obvious foot in the door to lead to homophobia. But I don't think people appreciate the way it's been used to lead to autism stigma. J.K. Rowling and others have been using autism and trans stigma to reinforce each other for years. Autism is the next boogeyman. Bigots don't stop.

Apparently some Christians are now paying extra attention to missing people, for signs of the rapture. Wonder if they'll be confused why God only loves Latinos.

Someone once said that women's brains are like spaghetti and men's brains are like boxes. But with gonads, it's the other way around. Testes are like spaghetti and ovaries are like boxes (or more accurately bubbles). Therefore, in order to better understand women, I need to think more with my balls.

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown: 🧵

I hate how in horror movies, when the main character finds a secret stack of snuff photographs, they waste no time in mixing them all up and reordering them so that the killer can tell their stuff was touched.

I think a big contributer to echo chambers is fear that engaging with others will drive ad revenue and algorithms in their favor. (It is for me.) So free neutral third party archives are threats to echo chambers. I thinks that's part of why people want to shut them down under the name of copyright.

We've had many satanic panics throughout the years over stuff like Rock & Roll, D&D, Pokemon or video games. I can't take those seriously, but chatbots are something else. They crudely mimic humans, falsely promise talent and knowledge, reinforce our biases and cause psychosis. That's a demon.

Perhaps, just as we say you may be just one accident from becoming disabled, we should also say you may be just one home accident, natural disaster or breakup from being homeless.

"I help to support the establishments I have mentioned: they cost enough: and those who are badly off must go there." "Many can't go there; and many would rather die." "If they would rather die," said Scrooge, "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population." - A Christmas Carol, 1843

Roald Dahl wrote books for kids and smut for playboy. Mel Brooks makes raunchy comedies and voices teacher figures in kids movies. Chris Pratt plays a womanizer and multiple kids film protagonists. Just some perspective for when people mistreat queer artists who cultivate different age audiences.

It feels like a tone-deaf 95 year old musician died. Boring news, not completely unexpected, but now I can't stop hearing his damn songs everywhere.

Avi Loeb's beliefs about aliens just sound like a way of justifying Israel's actions. He says that the Messiah could be a good alien that comes to earth. That aliens may send drones to earth. He meets with other pro-Israel people like Bill Ackman and David Patraeus to say we should love the aliens.

I don't know why, but I expected Trump's drawing of a woman's (girl's?) torso to look better. All the artist's interpretations, back when we didn't have a real picture, set my standards high. Probably should've set my expectations according to those city skylines that Trump drew, instead.

I've seen movies with men fighting and a useless damsel watching. And I've seen movies with men fighting and the damsel subverts the trope and attacks the bad man from behind. But now I want to see a movie with two women fighting and the male damsel attacks the bad woman from behind.

I don't like 3I-atlas alien stealth theories. If stealth, why so huge? If camouflaging with center of galaxy, then do the aliens put all their spaceship factories in the center of the galaxy, or slingshot them to appear to come from there? Sounds like a waste of time, much like this alien theory.

Figured I may as well post this chromosome sex determination chart I made. I originally planned on making a whole series for each common definition of sex to show how they are all nonbinary, but my genetics chart was taking up so much time. Just so many genes to keep track of.

I was looking at worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov to look at the hurricane. And when I tried to look at GOES-East data, there were a lot of gaps with no image. Has GOES-19 always had so many outages? Spoilered video because of flashing which could be seizure-inducing for all I know.

I watched some Detroit: Become Human let's plays after hearing Collective Shout wanted to ban it for depiction of child abuse. Maybe I'm numb but that was so tame, assuming you're not in a position to be re-triggered by it.

#SaveSpeech #CPBC As we near closer to 4 weeks of sustained pressure, I made this infographic to help focus our targets and to suggest a daily goal that is feasible for most people more info and phone numbers here: stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money find reps www.congress.gov/members/find...

What it feels like reading the closest thing to a sex ed book that your parents gave you.

just in case anyone hasnt said this you can be against censorship while also having boundaries. all those people that make you uncomfortable, you are more than welcome to not want to be around them but you should still advocate for their right to create those things that make you uncomfortable.

I get a little excited when I see signs for Mexican Restaurants serving T-males, only to realize that I misread tamales. Trans man Hooters when?

Men trying to look intimidating in those ski masks with the mouth hole give me the giggles because all I see is the Pokemon Jynx. Take that darn thing off before mommy sees you. 😊 Don't give me those pouty lips.

So not only can I not comment on kids' cartoons through YouTube, instead of the YouTube Kids app just blocking the view of comments there, but now just watching cartoons might get me kicked off YouTube? Modern life just really wants to kill your inner child. www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0mc...

P1. Government expands definition of porn to include sex education and LGBT topics. P2. Government makes all "porn" illegal to view online without age verification by means of government ID or credit card. P3. Credit Card companies refuse to work with "porn". C: Need gov ID to be gay online

Wow. After hearing the news about the letter, I figure Trump and Epstein have to be as sexually intimate as two guys can be without being gay for each other (assuming they're not). When will the celebrity fanfics start coming?

Destroying NASA is symbolic of the general dismantling of American institutions. Our space program was a point of national pride and emblematic of almost unbelievable achievements during the 50s and 60s, culminating in the first moon landing. Now, the admin sees it as a nuisance to be scrapped. 🧪

I heard about a cookbook called Ratio by Michael Ruhlman that looked at cooking in terms of flexible ratios and it inspired me to start filling in a Milk, Egg, Flour triangle. But now I feel like I need more dimensions for ingredients like sugar, leavening agents or potential substitutes.

Trump's birthday party be like

As much fun as it is to learn about attempts to make artificial sperm, eggs and wombs, I feel we're just reinventing the wheel. We already got sperm donation, egg donation and surrogacy. Now if only everyone could have a best friend willing to father or bear their child, we'd be set.
