RFK Jr. is dangerous for families and I won’t stop talking about it. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Happy Valentine's Day from some of Austen's more underappreciated characters.

How do I convince RFK Jr. that cocaine on toilet seats causes autism?

ohhhh that’s easy: gravity!! I wanna fly so bad

like when i’ve talked about the weird bullshit people in our fields get scrutinized over for posting (especially off the clock) this is a lot of what i’m referring to like it’s actually a good thing for everyone seeking medical care if your healthcare workers are activists wrt care for all

rly sad tonight that’s it, that’s the skeet

“the word in question is wrong and not part of my vocabulary and never has been" is a weird thing to say when you're apologizing for it having been part of your vocabulary Nicole 🙄 istg HGTV better not cave and bring her back after a cooling off period www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

Thomas said: “It’s really balanced. I advise my friends on their current personal disasters, they advise me on mine, and everyone’s happy. Well, nobody’s happy, that’s sort of the point.”

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

The Democrats idea of fighting fascism.

this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart 1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks 2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections

Everyone hates political junk mail, which is why we tried to make our mail unique… By making it into a comic book! If you live in IL-09, you might receive this five part series about me and the campaign right in your mailbox:

Music is crap now. Back in the day, songs used to be ABOUT things, like going to Wichita to avoid an opera.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

I am not exaggerating: Removing this webpage warning against fake autism "treatments" will kill autistic people. www.medpagetoday.com/neurology/au...

ok ok, not a fully formed thought but I blame Jenny McCarthy (ok and yes, autism moms are victims & pawns of an ableist society that tragically scapegoats moms for its failures… but JM is a privileged & well-resourced woman who chose to ‘fight autism’ instead of fighting the real problem: ableism 😢)

It was only a matter of time before the pro wrestling fans of Bluesky and the Star Trek Deep Space 9 fans of Bluesky looked at each other and realized that 90% of their interests overlap

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

This is some New Orleans levels.

More public restrooms across our city? Relief for all New Yorkers.

The Nobel Peace Prize becoming so prestigious that wars are fought over a head of state coveting it is some real monkey paw stuff for Alfred Nobel.

idk who needs to hear this but “treatment resistant depression” usually means it’s not actually depression (see also: Burnout, Autistic) ❤️‍🩹

Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

You're paying for this. Trump's Big Ugly Bill gave BILLIONS to ICE and giant corporations—using money meant to lower your health care costs. Instead of helping your mom get cancer treatment, your tax dollars are being used to terrorize communities.

there r many contenders & the race is tight but the thing I find MOST troubling abt RFK Jr is that he's probably autistic & doesn't know it friends hear me now, believe me later: undx'd, self-hating autistics cause some of THE GREATEST HARMS TO THE AUTISTIC COMMUNITY this is ableism in its essence

and he's not the only one Dr. Lovaas, father of gay conversion therapy & ABA, aka the dude who promoted behavioral training to camouflage 'undesirable social behaviors' & relied on meticulous data collection to implement the strategies? if it's a hot take for me to say he was probably autistic

then throw my on a pyre and watch me burn like the sixth-sense witch that I am because something as meticulously hateful and cruel as ABA could only come from the soul of someone who is deeply conflicted about a fundamental part of themselves that they are hiding because they had to do so to survive

well, maybe not "only"... but it's a damn good explanation, as far as I"m concerned - and let me just add: it's a measure of how deeply wounded so many autistic people are by the discrimination and rejection they experience as children - in their families, schools, and social settings

it's the same reason we have such a terrifyingly high suicide rate, and high rates of loneliness, depression, despair, incarceration, institutionalization, substance use, etc etc... the solution? definitely not ABA! the solution is that society accept and embrace us, just as we are please? 💔

forgot to look up when I first stepped outside this morn cradling my tea & still in pajamas but when I finally did WOW 🌤️ #sky #thankyou #AutisticJoy
