One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

Positivity creates positivity. Especially in these very troubling times we still need good energy in the world. Even if it’s just someone’s small glimmer of hope.🙏💜

Friday reminds us that joy often finds us when we least expect it. Some of life’s sweetest moments aren’t planned—they find us when we’re open, unguarded, ready to feel. May today bring sparks of happiness and love that take your breath away and warm your spirit, my gorgeous souls. 💖

*goes back in time to warn everyone that in 2025 we ask each other things like, “are you depressed because of the world or just regular depressed?”*

I like this ad for a local radio station.

I’m not autistic, I’m acetaminodivergent.

Good Thursday morning! I bet you can think of someone you have been there for… (Or somone who has been there for you.) Someone, somewhere is still deeply inspired by your kindness and profoundly grateful for the compassion you shared during a challenging time. #JustBeKind

You can do everything “right” and still become disabled. You can do everything “right” and have a child who is disabled. There is nothing wrong with being disabled, and if more of us approached disability with compassion, understanding, and advocacy instead of fear, the world would be better.

Spoiler alert: energy prices won’t come down if every state is building data centers.

"This show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this" - Jimmy Kimmel

Rightly understood, the humanities and the sciences do not compete with one another, but instead are two complementary sides of the same epistemological commitment.

On #TechTuesday, a reminder that autistic people are not broken, defective, shameful, evil, or pitiful. We are simply us, and we deserve dignity and love like all our fellow humans. #ActuallyAutistic #TBBTech #MoreDeviantThanDefective

Do I have time to grab another iced coffee on my break before the rapture starts? Trying to plan these things.

Is it possible to join the war on autism... ...on the side of autism?

Now that I've canceled Disney, Hulu, and Paramount, I'm fulfilling a bucket list item to learn to play chess. It's honestly more fascinating than 90 percent of the slop on TV.

If you protested Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air by canceling Disney+ or some similarly simple action that had clear, direct, effective results, it feels good that you helped get him back, right? The neat part of you can choose another simple action, and keep that awesome feeling going.

We all have a thirst for wonder. It's a deeply human quality. Science and religion are both bound up with it. What I'm saying is, you don't have to make stories up, you don't have to exaggerate. There's wonder and awe enough in the real world. Nature's a lot better at inventing wonders than we are.

The real point of literature isn’t just to entertain or inform. It’s to remind you that you’re not the only one who’s ever felt this way before.

On this International Day of Peace we strive to promote peace, non-violence, and a global ceasefire. #InternationalDayOfPeace #JohnLennon #Peace ☮️

Do not underestimate the soft spoken, the kind, the gentle. It takes strength to be those things, sometimes more than you will ever know. If you look closely at someone who conducts themselves honorably, you will find something fierce inside.

Imagine if we cared about protecting the right to healthcare, a living wage, housing and education the same way we protect the right to bear arms? If we made it easier to access the things necessary to survive and thrive and harder to access weapons that disable and kill?

Reminder that September is National library card month, so you should totally go get a library card! Yes, they have books, but many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and more! Maybe it's time for a visit!

Rewatching GANDHI (1982) and it's a quiet yet powerful reminder that nonviolence can, and often does, change the world most effectively. #Peace #LoveIsTheWay

"Hope is like the sun. If you only believe in it when you can see it, you'll never make it through the night." #Hope #Peace #StarWars #TheBeachBatch

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.

Take the subscription fees for Disney, Hulu, and Paramount Plus, and spend them on PBS Passport instead. Pass it on.

Worrye not about 'being productive,' for thou art not a product. Thou art a star daunsinge yn a hopeful skye. A signal blinking across centuryes and worldes. Thou art a song performid just once and perfectlye.

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading. Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own. Just. Keep. Reading.

I'm the biggest Star Wars nerd around and I'm boycotting Disney and Hulu, because freedom of speech and expression are the keystone to ALL of our constitutional rights. #FirstAmendment

Andor is an excellent watch.

Remember that torment nexus tweet? I think about that a lot.

Friends it is so essential to find your people. Hang out as much as possible with people who have decent values, who do their best to be kind You should have a community where you will be welcomed just as you are. And where your soul will be nourished. My community’s doors are open.❤️

1. That cute "mrow" sound cats make when you wake them up 2. Receiving a snail mail postcard or letter 3. The gentle sigh of ocean surf 4. A house that smells of freshly baked cookies 5. Being cuddled up in bed on a rainy night with a good book

people will tell you they don't understand gender fluidity then look right at a ship called the Edmund Fitzgerald and call it "her" without missing a beat

I think the environment should be put in the category of our national security. Defense of our resources is just as important as defense abroad. Otherwise what is there to defend? Robert Redford

I want our young people to know that there is a path forward, that a better world is possible. I don't want them to give up, to become cynical. They deserve to be young and full of optimism. They are owed a world that supports and sustains optimism.

I think we’ve crossed another threshold like Gamergate really revealing how a lot of people are way out of their depth in this Internet shit

It's in no way a solution to our current problems, but try to do something nice for someone you don't know today or this week. It'll make you feel better. Just try it.
