Cats are the best.

Dr. McCreight is a REAL ONE! I've been following them from my own early days of #SciComm and I'm so excited for his new project... And we're not going to let some asshole stop this awesomeness.

Hi friends: $925 for June rent is due 6/1; $1060 with urgent late bills. The freelance payment I'd expected for rent has to go to meds. Illness + end-of-life care for my late dog has put me behind on a lot; the stress and grief has made me very sick. Anything helps. Cashapp/Venmo: Elsthere

Pride month AND Juneteenth is coming up. 🏳️‍🌈✊🏾 Can we get Bex’s rent & arrears paid for Pride & the rest by Juneteenth? See their posts for updates on their progress (they’re struggling to make progress bc they don’t have a cell to post frequently). They deserve our support. 💜 ko-fi.com/rebekamash

Legendary classical pianist Schroeder announces that after zero deliberations he will NOT be performing at the America 250th anniversary celebration.

As an aro-ace autistic person with intense interests, I'm appreciating Schroeder from Peanuts more and more.

aaah yeah thats the stuff that will bring me joy when I'm down 🐣 🪶

#QueerWritersChat Q5 I'm going to link to a short prose/poem piece I wrote while I was in severe burnout called "Marathon." I had sprinted a years long marathon of masking my neurodivergence in school. It's a metaphor piece. You can read for free! (And sign up for blog emails if you want)

Listen I'm very loudly anti-AI but I think part of being anti-AI is also that you have to be AGGRESSIVELY pro-artist. Please support your artists, especially ones with marginalized identities.

Currently wishing I could do all the productive things (many of which are even enjoyable, like finishing songs) *and* do nothing but sleep *and* do all the silly things like spend way too long cooking and then watch a movie I've already seen.

"Our Revenge," a new song in progress, for our fallen <3 we will honor our dead we will have our revenge our revenge will be the laughter of our children our revenge will be just living our best lives our revenge will be planted in the garden our revenge will be growing old in peace before we die

Surround yourself with the kind of people who are proud to have a library card.

Pride month is coming up and I cannot tell you enough, cis people, that the best thing you can do right now is stand up for trans people financially, publicly, and in any way you can think of so this witch hunt ends, once again, with bigots on the wrong side of history.

🌵Desert Days☀️ New lineless illustration, purchase prints of this piece over at my shop! ✨ yellowk9creations.etsy.com ✨ Reposts and comments always appreciated ❤️ Really happy with how this piece turned out!

Choosing my own stereotypically nonbinary name changes my perspective on this somewhat.

i’m choosing to live today ❤️

Found the cutest popcorn pattern on Etsy (as always). Y’all want some popcorn? 🍿 🎥 What we watchin’??? 🧶

I thought I'd make a thread of some of the things that people who care about trans rights people and human rights could do to help. We really need more cis people stepping up. • Post about it sometimes. Make sure people who see you online know that you're aware of what's going on, and you care.

THE CHAFF PROJECT Hi! Are you cis in the UK and you'd like to support trans rights? Great! How: buy a trans flag pin and wear it in public. Why: chaff is an overwhelming amount of false positives so that when a missile gets close to the plane, it hits the chaff and not the plane.

All I can say is, learn low-tech ways to stay cool. Our power grids can’t handle the heat or increased demand. Grow shade trees and plants where you can. Weed less. We need every possible plant in every bit of soil we can get. ESPECIALLY if it’s in the ground, not a pot. Put carbon in the soil.

remember, it's "if you're transgender you have to live." not just "you have to survive." you have to live.

NO WARRIOR CAN FIGHT ALONE. ASK FOR HELP IF YOU NEED IT.

Why are you nonbinary? Wrong answers only: My gender got tossed into box of random stuff and sold at a garage sale.

The little cat meows at the wizard. He meows back. The little cat looks offended.

I do this as well. There’s a few benefits. One, clients appreciate you looking out for them. Two, your colleagues will kick you work down the road. Three, the emotional satisfaction of helping a friend.

As someone who’s mtf(ish), this one hit me HARD right at the beginning of my transition. But this version, sung by a man but still using feminine wording, and the switch between registers? OOF. ABSOLUTE TRANS MASC ENERGY. And for once, I’m suggesting you read the comments. youtu.be/bp8_zJ_bPfQ?...

Mayhaps this problem arises from the people with the loudest platforms from which to broadcast their strongest opinions on autism not being autistic people. Like if folks were convinced they could gain expertise on how gender dysphoria works by asking and listening to everyone Except trans people..

I really rate Qtopia's submission guide on NZ First's transphobic definitions bill If you're uncertain about the submissions process, or what to say in your submission on the bill, this is a great place to start qtopia.org.nz/news/submiss...

A decade ago I moved into my house. It had stood empty for some time. The yard had been sprayed into submission to such an extent that I had no creatures in my yard at all. Just grass and tree of heaven. And some very fine catalpas. But it was dead silent. No bugs, no birds.

But I brought back one tiny little ecosystem, dammit. And I'm looking at the heat waves we've already got going and feeling kinda panicky about it... but I have fireflies. We can fix it.

#ActuallyAutistic voices matter because when you're a kid trying to understand the words suddenly applied to you, there's a huge difference between "they suffer from everything-you-think-and-feel-is-wrong" and "I am this too! Here's what I've noticed in my own life and learned from others like us."

I don't know it's possible to write a helpful, fully accurate, not-too-vague answer to "What is autism?" for the same reason that we can't boil any gender down to that. Some things are too complex to explain simply, accurately, and fully all at once.

Sure, all of our processing differences can lead to observable behaviors... but that's not what makes autism autism. What makes autism autism is the way our brains take in, process, and understand the information.

Remember to listen to some music please. 🎶
