Telling a person with a brain wiring disability that they just need to try harder to face their challenges is like telling a person who can't walk that they just need to try harder to walk. It's not about trying harder. It's about trying DIFFERENTLY. And most disabled people need help to do that.

Sen. Peter Squelch (Black Faced Shealthbill party) addressing congress today. He is attempting to champion a resolution to sell penguin eggs in return for tariff renegotiation. So far, he’s received cold shoulders and some Senators who’ve even flipped the bird, in a typically polite Ice House.

Have you measured your guinea pigs? This is Annie, an Ecuadorian sow. She's 32 cm long! I'm curious to hear what your guineas measure. I certainly don't remember my piggies in the US being this looooong

In many ways this was another horrific week. Like a terrible hurricane, the Trump dictatorship is sweeping more people into its maw while further destroying our public institutions and wrecking what’s left of our civil norms. Yet this week also featured 11 reasons for modest optimism.

SCOOP— Social Security Administration (SSA) will be slashing more jobs at direction of the WH/OPM/OMB, multiple agency sources confirmed to me. This is despite Acting Commissioner Dudek’s assurances two weeks ago that no more RIFs would be necessary this fiscal year after hitting downsizing targets.

Those crazy numbers on Trump’s tariffs chart? Heather Cox Richardson explains: “…the White House “just took our trade deficit with [each] country and divided it by the country’s exports to us.” He [Paul Krugman] called it “extraordinary nonsense.”

As a level 1 autistic person, my autistic challenges are similar to my vision challenges (I also wear glasses). Without external support, I'm impaired. With it, I'm as capable as ppl who don't have autistic challenges. And I feel like this might be helpful to someone. So there it is. 😊
