ATTN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES: The VA sent out an announcement with a link for employees to self-report their disabilities. I wouldn’t do this if I were you. They’ll likely use it to discriminate against you.

PSA... Autism isn't a choice. If someone's autism causes them to do things that annoy you, it's not because they *want* to annoy you or don't care that they are (if they're even aware of it in the first place). It's because they have a literal disability.

Undiagnosed autism is everyone thinking you're a complete weirdo Diagnosed autism is telling people you're autistic and everyone being confused because you look "completely normal"

My periodic reminder that Sarah Palin (quite correctly) called for Rahm Emmanuel to be fired when he used the "R" word. And my periodic reminder that maybe a political reporter wants to ask her what should happen when Trump uses it. Like any reporter.

Here’s a hot take: I don’t want to see lawmakers posting holiday pictures from their mansions — I don’t care which party. Keep that shit to yourself.

In this house, we mostly celebrate Thanksgiving as the beginning of Pumpkin Pie For Breakfast Week.

PSA 📢 Emotional dysregulation (meltdowns, shutdowns, irritability, outbursts, depression, anxiety...) is NOT a behavior issue. And if you treat it like one, instead of solving the problem (whatever is actually causing the behavior), you'll end up making it a LOT worse.

please do not sleep on one of the best christmas movies that has ever been made.

ICE is using Uber stickers in order to disguise themselves and kidnap people. Spread this for awareness!

I can’t believe they made a movie about Ham Net.

Why the different prices? WHY?

Melania Trump didn't qualify for an EB-1 visa and was paid for modeling in the U.S. in 1996 while on a tourist visa, which doesn't allow employment.
