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…

AWN's latest newsletter for Black History Month. From Kyara Bellamy, CRM & Development Systems Consultant at AWN: awnnetwork.org/celebrating-...

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.

Tribute thread to a legend. Rest in Power Alice Wong ❤️

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…

AWN honors Native American Heritage Month, and celebrates the TWO SPIRIT, (ALSO: 2SPIRIT, 2S, or TWO-SPIRIT) people of Indigenous North America then & now

The only memorial for Cheney should be about the 4000+ service members who lost their lives because he lied about WMDs.

Counting down and it's four weeks until #GivingTuesday! We're featuring the top 5 reasons to give in this series from AWN Art Director, Erin Casey. Number 4: Healing www.mightycause.com/organization...

“When autistic trans and nonbinary artists share their voices, they show how art and activism can work together to create meaningful change.” ❤️ Love this, from AWN’s new digital media intern Makayla

Congrats Jules!! This is great news for everyone at AWN & for the community “In my new role as Co-Executive Director, I practice servant leadership and humility, in which the success of leadership is measured by how well the people in our community are doing.”

Shower thoughts: “ashes to ashes and dust to dust” is actually a pretty weird way to describe the cycle of life. Would make more sense to say water to water or even goo to goo. Anyway, happy Scorpio season! 💀

Watched this tonight and it was for sure one of the best docs I’ve ever seen. I did cry… a LOT. Was not expecting body cams to be so compelling but this is an exceptional film

October is LGBTQIAP+ History Month!

Please look out for vets at the protests this weekend. Sometimes big crowds, yelling, and tight spaces can trigger PTSD for combat vets.

Not looking for a circ debate - but the word “early” is doing some WEIRD work here 😳

Please… give me a fire trine. And I say that as a mostly water girlie. I’ve had QUITE enough of the feels tyvm 😂

Hell yeah. (Idk how to add alt text to a repost but it’s two similar side by side photos of Greta Thunberg, smiling and wearing a shawl with in a fabric/pattern that looks like a keffiyeh, over a tshirt that says “autism” in flame font w a picture of a skeleton wielding two big weapons)

Nice

I hear someone somewhere at the back of this store loudly clapping on the 2s and 4s to “Basket Case” by Green Day and I know without a doubt that is my kid 😂

Listen one thing I live by is my food thermometer. I consider myself a fairly empathetic person but I really can’t understand why you wouldn’t use something that costs $5 at the store and consistently tells you EXACTLY when the meat is perfectly cooked. This is genius level tech

This whole thread is very good and I can relate strongly. The culture around autism had been getting so much better in recent years and I hope the regression of the current moment is short lived
