Have you never thought how danger must surround power as shadow does light?

Look, I understand the urge to say "I'm autistic and I date and I pay taxes," but that's unintentionally just buying into his argument. We are not the autistic people he is talking about. Some autistic people CANNOT IN FACT do these things. They also deserve care, protection, and basic dignity.

ASL interpreters who work in the arts (concerts, opera, theatre, etc) deserve to be valued as artists too. it takes so much skill to be this good at capturing the FEEL of music beyond just translating the meaning of the text and it’s an invaluable accessibility service

These were the weeks in 1649 when John Milton was writing “The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates”, pointing out that many people love a tyrant because they love “not freedom, but license, which never hath more scope, or more indulgence than under tyrants” #milton

Always nice to have another poem ringingly or quietly vaunting the soft life of language and communication against the demands of violence and aggression. There needs to be hope.

Fifteen years of using social media has just crushed the wind out of me and i feel I have nothing interesting to say to anyone. I'm just here to follow.
