Urgent breaking news: former street cat curls up on lap to listen to the rain outside

People really like to make up a narrative to get angry about. I generally positively reviewed every ep of The Acolyte and after it was canceled devoted a near 20 min of this video talking about the failure of Disney to stand by the series in the face of bad faith critism. youtu.be/FJWecaagUg8?...

GOP resisters make me happy

neurotypical fuckers are always like "autistic people have trouble following directions" and then hand me a form that asks if I have a history of bike helmet

Yet another inside-out autism research headline! This time it's "Increased prevalence of autism in the children of fibromyalgia patients," when fibromyalgia is a common co-occurring condition for autistic people, so those autistic kids' parents are likely autistic too. DO BETTER AUTISM RESEARCHERS!

LEGALLY YOU SHOULD BE SENDING INVOICES FOR GOODS AND SERVICES. IF YOU TAKE COMMISSIONS ON PAYPAL DO NOT USE FRIENDS AND FAMILY. YOU ARE NOT SAFE, YOUR CLIENT IS NOT SAFE. THIS IS A FORM OF TAX EVASION. YOU SHOULD BE USING INVOICES.

Reminiscin’ this’n that and havin’ such a good time. Oo-De-Lally, Oo-De-Lally golly what a day.

I highly encourage people to get involved more directly. Large general protests are 100% good and useful, but more targetted protests or activism should also be where you go next. Like get involved in anti-ICE activism in your city for example - helping to coordinate disrupting their activities.

I appreciate the energy behind the No Kings protest—it’s a net positive. But it feels a lot like the Women’s March, channeling and containing people’s activism instead of expanding it. What comes after? Does No Kings offer a path forward, or just a release valve that drains our energy?

Morning

Doodled a very snug and ready for Winter kobold.

I'm tired. We're all tired. This isn't hard to understand. You can't inflate prices of basic necessities like food and housing to ridiculous highs while keeping wages at poverty levels, then act surprised when luxury goods/services and large purchases become unattainable or payments unaffordable.

Ugly, dishonest, dangerous, divisive, and completely un-American. But a reminder that Christian Nationalism is a very real and growing threat to our nation.👇

George Soros is the distraction, don’t fall for it. QAnon inserted the trigger in their brains like pizza gate. It can’t be removed easily. It’s very deep just like Epstein got buried very deep, and is a trigger inside their brains that hopefully someday will awaken them to the truth.

As a veteran with multiple combat tours, this “No Kings” poster touched my heart more than any of the other hundreds of great signs I saw this weekend Love this lady so much for honoring her veteran and the cause he died for

Any discrimination towards men is a survival skill for women, and men act so personally attacked by it. It’s a blow to their male entitlement. They feel entitled to women.

I wonder if we could make a platform that incentivizes creating and sharing art for its own sake

I'm a small artist that has struggled with this for a long time, as I'm sure many others have. I gave up on making art my career. It sucks that social media is the only platform that allows artists to reach a broader variety of people, like non-artists. To my knowledge there isn't an alternative. 🤷‍♀️

Keep trying with the galleries

I wish there was a better option. Social media doesnt work, galleries dont want me, selling platforms are too saturated to be seen unless you throw money at advertising.

I went through it, others have gone through it and people will continue to go through it. Part of the process is accepting that platforms like these are incredibly volatile and tend to cater to virality. It’s why bait posting and the like became such a thing. Create for the sake of creating

“My artwork isn’t getting much traction I’m starting to hate my work” is a common sentiment many struggle with but something I think people need to remember is that social media is not exactly a great place to share art and it continues to become more insufferable every day. Learn to love yourself

How can we improve auditory accessibility in buildings? Because "Thoughtful design can make schools, workplaces, and public spaces calmer, safer, and more welcoming. Not just for autistic people, but for everyone." From @craeioe.bsky.social: crae.ioe.ac.uk/ten-question... #autism #neurodiversity

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking www.huffpost.com/entry/chicag...

We don't need a #ProfoundAutism label; we already have the "Level 3 Autism" DSM label (problematic, sure). But the campaign for "Profound Autism" is Autism Grievance Parent-led lobbying to dominate the autism narrative and overshadow autistic advocacy and #AutismAcceptance. Reject, counter, repeat.

We live in the dumbest fucking timeline.

Before you buy Girl Scout cookies you should know they support transgender girls and reject donations from anti-transgender organizations. Then buy a couple more boxes

15 US states and territories have formed a new Public Health Alliance, which will counter the absence of federal leadership by tracking outbreaks, issuing guidance, buying vaccines and more. Members of the new alliance include CA, CO, CT, DE, GU, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, NC, OR, RI, WA.

Men. 🫢

Why is it that 'research that’s clearly forbidden as unethical for non-autistic children is somehow allowed when autistic children are the subjects'? Anne Borden King is asking the hard questions, as usual: childrensrights.substack.com/p/a-brief-hi... #autism #research #neurodiversity

I can't sleep today because of my severe anxiety attack... Just because my tooth have began getting pain again. All I just wish I could get help. And hoping there's a better and painless solution to my severe dental fear problem.

In her life, Marilyn Monroe was exploited and abused by so many men. Studio executives, so many people. After she died, men continued to exploit her for their pleasure: trying to get themselves buried near/above her. What your writer did here is obscene, nonconsensual and makes me feel slightly ill

Italian-Americans who stan Columbus are so embarrassing, even by the standards of Italian-Americans, a people prone to embarrassing conduct. Like, be weirdly off putting about the merits of various pasta shapes like the rest of us, good god.

Well yes, but it’s the distinction between simply falling into doing a thing because you feel a compulsive need to, and having withdrawals because you stopped doing that thing. I could probably word it better, but regardless.

I think it’s more overblown than it is nonexistent. You can get addicted to anything and use it as an unhealthy coping mechanism, but the majority of people aren’t going to. Provided you aren’t experiencing any negative consequences, you’re all good.

Saddest shit is when I see a kink artist in the replies havin' a damn meltdown, throwin' outdated research papers at people, so attached to this idea that the shit THEY'RE makin' is some inherently harmful substance. Gotta be some kinda fucked up dissonance to live in. Anyway Mutin' These Now kbye
