It's #MMIWG2S Day. For Indigenous folks here in the USA & Canada, it's not IF we know someone murdered or is missing. It's how many we know—we all know someone. For me, it's friend & classmate Virginia Pictou Noyes — Mi’gmaw (her family prefers this spelling to Mi'kmaq or Micmac). (1/2)

I mean... #Grift #ballroom

The next generation (I'm midpoint Gen-X) that is now running marketing departments grew up with warnings about the dangers of STIs and STDs. How can I tell? I just got a push notification from a retailer that I can get “VD delights in less than 1 hour!” Umm… I'm good. No, thanks.

Today is the 135th anniversary of the Čaŋké Opi (Wounded Knee) Massacre that SecDef Pete Hegseth thinks was great. For some of us, it's personal. open.substack.com/pub/auntiema...

CPAC is having a human trafficking summit‽‽ What kind of seminars are they offering to teach conservatives to traffic humans? Are the Tate brothers guest speakers? Or just Matt Gaetz?

Every liberal progressive responding to Trump’s Washington Commanders distraction, saying he wants a racial slur brought back, then using the uncensored r-word in their response... Think about it. We'll wait.

I'm amused and traumatized. 👀😱 Kudos to @pleightx.bsky.social for another great meme. Has Bette Midler seen this yet‽‽ #HocusPocus #NationalNightmare #POTUS

My latest piece is born of my disgust over the latest attacks by the MAGA Republican controlled United States government against our LGBTQ+ kin—especially our transgender kin—and their basic human rights. What's a more basic right than the right to exist?

Well, it appears Pope Leo already weighed in on JD Vance & the Trump administration's warped version of Christianity. Cardinal Robert Prevost's (now Pope Leo XIV's) official X account shared an NCR OpEd critical of Vance's "me first" take on Christianity. #PopeLeo #Pope #JDVance #Trump

People are saying this is a sign of dementia, but The Donald has always been an idiot. Ask anyone who went to school with him, tried to teach him anything, was his ghostwriter, or worked with or for him. The man is a functionally illiterate moron.

On this last day of Autism Acceptance/Awareness Month. My latest piece for The Big Picture addresses the autism epidemic that never existed & how a grifter with a famous last name turned misinformation into millions. #autismacceptance #autismawareness #ActuallyAutistic #INDIGENOUS #neurodiversity

People are blaming J.D. Vance for killing Pope Francis, but I think it's simpler than that. If I was forced to spend time with the Vice President, I'm not sure my body wouldn't also decide, “Nope. We're out.”

Yes, I’ve heard what ableist, delusional menace @rfk-junior.bsky.social said. Still questioning his intelligence? Now you know he's the idiot his family says. Here's a piece I did about my own autism. #ActuallyAutistic #BrainWorm #ableism #incompetence thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/autism-acc...

Please learn the facts about measles. Another child died in Texas from a preventable illness. Almost everyone got it before vaccines but many died or were permanently impaired. Survivors claim it was no big deal, but the perspective is skewed. The dead can't speak. open.substack.com/pub/auntiema...

April is #Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month. Here's a piece I did for The Big Picture on my life as an autistic adult. open.substack.com/pub/auntiema...

I adore penguins. They've always been my favorite animal. My latest piece on Auntie Mavis' Musings is a bit of whimsy. Hope it makes you smile. 💛🤍🖤❤️🐧✊🏼 open.substack.com/pub/auntiema...

Foods cultivated by mesoamericans had a major impact on global cuisine, but Indigenous American cuisine garners little respect or recognition in the United States. Read about your favorite foods that only exist thanks to Indigenous American agriculture & foraging. open.substack.com/pub/auntiema...

My AncestryDNA results said I'm <1% Irish (and 2% Scottish!), but considering I always thought I was 0% Irish, I'll take it! And some Christnot relatives are a whopping 3%. Apparently there was a leprechaun in the tipi... Happy St. Patrick's Day, a holiday that... (1/2) youtu.be/4XWP_CKnJIg?...

My latest piece offers information about measles, which is making a comeback in the United States. #VaccinesSaveLives #ActuallyAutistic auntiemavis.substack.com/p/measles-da...

FYI: If you were born 1957 - 1968, per CDC you may not be adequately vaccinated for measles—have your antibody levels tested & get a booster if your levels are too low. Consult your doctor if you fall within those dates. There are currently several measles outbreaks in the United States.💛🤍🖤❤️

We're wicked pissed, Donny boy. We don’t like some New York felon & grifter telling us what to do. I'm another Maineiac who stands with #Maine Democratic Governor Janet Mills against Rancid Pumpkin McElonsbitch. She was the Attorney General stopping Gov. LePage’s bigotry & cronyism in 2012. *(1/2)

Please share safe resources for people in crisis being targeted by their own government. What makes a warm line (crisis helpline) safe? They don’t call law enforcement (LEO). BIPOC, LGBTQ+, & the disabled are killed at alarming rates during LEO led wellness checks. 1/ #MentalHealth #help #BIPOC

Earthquake in southern Maine today. Is it locusts or rivers of blood next?

It feels very correct to reshare this piece I wrote for The Big Picture after the war on and elimination of DEI in both public and private sector organizations. What are they so scared of? open.substack.com/pub/thinkbig...

I've been autistic my entire life. Not once did it impel me to pop off a known, universally recognized N@zi salute. Stop blaming men's sh*tty behavior or mental illness or neurodivergence. They're just a$$holes.
