*clears throat* it’s not vaccines it’s not Tylenol it’s not circumcisions it’s not bubble butt it’s not circumcisions it’s not Tylenol it’s not vaccines & it’s not a fucking problem Autistic people oppose cure, condemn it as eugenic rhetoric & that should be the end of the conversation the end!

Oh don’t mind me… just facing some Critical Roll content at the local Indigo. #GuerrillaMerchandizer #CriticalRoll #VoxMachina #Exandria

I just saw someone yell “they’re just using it to generate ideas!” And I hate to say it But if you work in the ART DEPARTMENT and you need a death machine stuffed with your colleagues’ work to give you ideas Quit.

My heart hurts. The world has lost a voice laced with kindness. His films formed me. It is truly inconceivable.

Bucket list item crossed off today! I got to talk about my pottery and the panic! Pierogi on CBC radio. I’m on All in a Day with Alan Neil today! At 3:10est in Ottawa.

Support us dry dry humans

PSA... Autism isn't a choice. If someone's autism causes them to do things that annoy you, it's not because they *want* to annoy you or don't care that they are (if they're even aware of it in the first place). It's because they have a literal disability.

Hear me out… an AC/DC night at Dancing With the stars… it’s opens with “We’ve got Balls” and someone does a Paso to Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. Who knows someone!?

I'm old. If you're not, listen to this. Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder. Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever. It's literally never been more important.

Working on this!

So I don’t have a bottle on ice like I did for the last year of Kissinger’s life… I’ll have to go out and get one… Dick Cheney is dead. Another evil old man is gone from this world and that’s a Good Thing.

So perimenopause and AuDHD is a heady combination. Meltdown yesterday because my mom overwatered some plants. “You kill plants by overwatering like it’s a personality trait!” Not my finest moment… but seriously leave my plant babies alone!!!!

Making my silly little pots, trying to bring a little joy into the world.

Things that actually cause autism: 1. Autistic folks boinking and making new autistic folks whether or not they have a diagnosis. 2. See number one.

All I can do is think happy thoughts that Dolly is okay. She’s the best of us.

I’m the second… but it’s slimy things like okra that trip my sense up.

It breaks my heart that there's such a divide within the autistic community between late diagnosed lower support needs autistic adults and parents of higher support needs autistic children. The divide is costing us more than it's helping us. We are all losing ground because of it.

I got to meet #18 recently. I gave her a panic pierogi and a high five to pass along to all the ladies! Th eye are kicking ASS!

Head cannon: Elle Woods is AuDHD.

I don't know who needs to see this, but... autism is a disability because it limits our abilities... not because it removes them. Also, disability is not a bad word. It's a descriptive one.

Autism is a disability not a disease. Autism is a disability not a disease. Autism is a DISABILITY not a disease. You can't cure a disability. We need SUPPORTS. Not to be treated like we have the plague. 🤦‍♀️

Yep… folks upset about Tylenol but not freaking out about ABA or anti-vaxxers.

I wish more people understood that not all autism is visible, but all autism is disabling. If you don't see it, it's because we're actively hiding it. (Not for us, for others.) But hiding our autism means our needs are also invisible. And unmet needs = inner turmoil. 😣

If my writing about autism does anything, whether it be in my books, my columns or my reported stories, I hope it advances the idea that autistic people are whole human beings as they are with legitimate needs and inner lives that deserve to be told the same as other stories.

So is the rapture supposed to happen at 9pmEST?

Autism is hereditary but that’s to simple and doesn’t give people a scapegoat to blame. If you have an autistic kid it is very likely that you are autistic yourself. One of my ancestors invented a font… A FONT!!! (It’s Baskerville if you’re curious.)

the only Autistic people who support the idea of a cure are the undiagnosed grievance parents

Games Journalists have watched the trainwreck in slow motion for a literal decade. Culture matters. It is a microcosm of the larger ecosystems.

Fuck RFK Jr forever

Her own dam fault.

Homeopathy is the air guitar of medicine.

I had to leave a whole ass town because the people were so fake.

Yeah… autism is caused by autistic folks boinking and making new autistic folks, even if they don’t have a diagnosis. Every child’s assessment should come with parental assessments as well.

I had to physically stop my aunt from putting candles on my 80 year old dad’s cake… “after surviving the plague we don’t blow on cake.” This is not hard. The dirge-like rendition will have to do. (I tried to speed it up but people are determined to sing it in the most depressing way possible!

In Ottawa it would be a Shwarma.

I make a fidget called the “panic pierogi”… I wouldn’t sell one to him either.

He blocked me on the other place because I called him Superdouche.

Yesterday I attached 40 mug handles… today I will do double connections on all of them so they’re sturdy af… I hate handles… but if I must! They’re gonna be good, damnit.

🚫 autistic people can’t understand social norms ✅ Autistic people don’t understand why you all think this shit is normal &/or good and we’d like to make some recommendations if you don’t mind

RFK Jr. is a burned out leather bag of steaming cow manure, vaccines don’t cause autism, being Autistic doesn’t have to suck and in fact can be pretty rad, and I’d rather be Autistic than have the measles, fellas! It’s no contest.

@brucefanjoy.bsky.social shows up. It was a delight to have him sweating along with us on this very sticky day at the Greely Good Market. Carleton and Canada are better for having him as an MP.

I’d like to introduce you to the “Panic Pierogi” my new fidget. It has a rattle inside. If you’re having a panic, shake the pierogi.

I’ve gotta ask… is correcting incorrect statements about historical fact gaslighting now? #TheWorstPersonYouKnowWentToTherapy #CatherineTheGreatVaccinePioneer

The first name that popped into my brain was Glenn Powell. I think he’d make a great Indy.

I sold a mug to someone who bullied me in elementary school… it’s giving me a wee bit of perverse joy that she’s drinking coffee out of one of my “Be Gay Do Crimes” mugs when she called me a lesbian like it was an insult in 1992.

Damn… it’s a bit far and in a hostile foreign country…

I’m standing in the door of my shop saying “Shake the Panic Pierogi… do it!”

Sometimes I would lie in my twin bed at night wondering where my brother was.

Anyone who dated and broke up with my sister in law deserves a prize, she’s a piece of work.

Got call a c-word on Facebook today because I don’t let anti science bullshit slide. (I thought she deserved to burn in the fiery pits if the hell that she believes in, I swear the worst people in this world spend Sundays at church.)
