The House Democrats should hire me to make their social media graphics 👀

I had a great time with my DisCo friends at @lydiaxzbrown.com campaign fundraiser last week! If you live in MD District 7A or don’t but you care about disability justice, interdependence, economic stability for everyone, and more, check out Ly Xīnzhèn's campaign website: brownformaryland.com

I get the impulse for autistic people to want to respond by saying that they DID go to college or play baseball or date and work. But that still plays into ableist narratives. Even if an #ActuallyAutistic person does none of these, they still have worth.

And guess what the demographics are in east Omaha. If you are an Omaha parent in the superfund zone worried about lead you can get free testing from the Omaha Healthy Kids Alliance (founded by Kara Eastman, district 2 Dem who challenged Bacon in 2018 & 2020!) omaha.net/omaha-health...

There is absolutely no chance that he’ll follow through on completing that 250 foot arch. But I fear we do have to worry about him defiling the nearby Arlington National Cemetery in the process of faking construction on another vanity project. The East Wing has been a pile of rubble for 6 mo…

Not enough people seem to know that it is the VP + a majority of the executive/cabinet who have to initiate a 25th amendment removal. And unless the President voluntarily agrees to step down, then and only then does it go to Congress. 2/3 of both houses then have to vote for removal.

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did on J6 🩸🩸🩸 THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE ⬇️⬇️⬇️

THE ASTROLOGY OF APRIL: ACT I = 🌝⚖️💐🌊💬💎🌅🙏 (1-5 April) ACT II = 💥🤯⚔️⚠️‼️😫🔥🪐 (8-20 April) ACT III = 🤖📡🤪💬💖👩‍💻📲🛸 (24-30 April)

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! Also, it's time to remind everyone about safety so we're linking to this comprehensive guide from the EFF for your reference. And the one thing every No Kings rally tomorrow has in common is our commitment to nonviolence.

Having 25 tabs open on your phone just ain’t the same

“While we appreciate the necessity for alternatives to government-sanctioned bodies, we are disappointed to see so few autistic voices at the table,” said Elio McCabe, policy manager at the Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network

I feel this so hard. Especially when my only paid work is making visual art… it’s increasingly difficult to turn off the anxiety and get into that VERY different headspace of creativity

Yes, Mars square Uranus brings raw, explosive energy resulting in the potential for accidents or violence but also… ***HUGE BREAKTHROUGHS*** That thing you’ve been going back and forth on, or the…

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19. Remember listening to this continuously in Makiko’s car just driving aimlessly around Providence at night on the weekends…

I know it’s been almost a week and 40,000 more terrible things have happened since, but every day I involuntarily remember Mike Tyson describing himself as “fat and nasty” in an ad for a government “health” program… the horror won’t leave me alone. I’m grateful my kids weren’t watching that filth.

Updated Procreate and EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT??? My favorite brushes are all GONE??

Immigrants are carrying this country on their backs while the right screams into the void. Here’s the Cato Institute report: www.cato.org/blog/cato-st...

I have reached the stage of Nebraska winter in which I don’t remember what it felt like to not be cold and wonder if I will ever not be cold again

The Democratic platform now includes: 1a, 2a, 4a, reproductive rights, states’ rights, voter rights, access to healthcare, international diplomacy, feeding children, I’m sure I’m missing a few but, hey, if you prefer open racism, trade wars, murder and CSA, I hear the Republicans got a lot going on

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

I said this last time but their real position is “if you disagree with us we can kill you.”

If you’re defending kidnapping a five year old, you’re losing

"The lack of transparency is new for IACC, which, like most advisory committees, had primarily conducted its work in public."

ICYMI: ASAN is thrilled to announce the release of an autistic Barbie! We hope she shows all kids that autistic people are a valuable part of our communities. autisticadvocacy.org/2026/01/asan...

The administration needs to be asked directly how many J6ers, and anyone convicted of seditious conspiracy, are now ICE agents with a badge and a gun.

I was trying to relocate all through the latter half of 2025 and was totally thwarted. If 2026’s solar eclipse + North Node ingress + major planetary sextiles & trines to Pluto ALL in my 4th House don’t = a major assist… idk what will 😅 LFG! ✨

I would like the news media to stop parroting his claim that he’s acing cognitive tests, and say what’s really happening: he’s being administered a screening for dementia. Again.

Blue. Most people are saying ice blue and that makes sense, but to me it’s a slightly muted version of primary blue. It’s the color of the lines on notebook paper. Which, btw, is the same color as Tuesday.

There are a lot of things I dislike about living in Nebraska and listening to explosions all night long on every stinkin holiday is one of them. 😑

Really delighted that so many contributors responded on very short notice when we reached out about reprinting their work from this series, and I'm glad that it once again has an online home that's easy to search for, share, and read.

Only one week until #GivingTuesday. Reason #1 to give: Love!

Can everyone else read these long ass text messages that we get to glimpse on the characters’ phones for 2 seconds on every tv show now? Or do y’all just not care that you can’t see what they’re saying? It drives me nuts

WOW! Autism Society of America, The Autistic Self-Advocacy Network, the Autism Science Foundation, the Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network and Autism Speaks put out a statement denouncing the CDC changing its website on vaccines autisticadvocacy.org/2025/11/lead...

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Rest in Power, Alice Wong.

Watching my stories (trashy reality tv) alone and commenting into the void: Demi’s hair looking this atrocious is Jessi’s best revenge!

It’s been two weeks since RFK said there is NO evidence that Tylenol causes autism (oops! lulz) and it’s funny how my phone has NOT been blown up by the people who were so eager to treat me like a dumbass for not believing that BS in the first place. Maybe they’re still writing their apologies…
