It’s really hard to find support for late-diagnosed autistic adults. It is nearly all for kids. I asked my insurance company about the “autism coach” described on their website. The “coach” admitted that it had not occurred to her, in her 20 years in the field, that autistic adults exist.

80s TV taught me that one person determined person can win against overwhelming odds, as long as their cause is just. Turns out, I am not Michael Knight, my car does not talk, and we accomplish things by working together.

The 2 California Senators voicemail boxes are full, and the phone system is glitching like a pinball machine full of Mountain Dew. I think Californians are curious about the ongoing Constitutional crisis, and are calmly leaving polite messages.

I know little about aviation, but I immediately thought of elevators, which are flight control surfaces. They change the /pitch/ of the aircraft. If you're discussing aviation, you should know better than to use "elevation" interchangeably with "altitude."

I wish I could tell all those young men that the alpha male advice will only hurt them. Instead, treat yourself and others with respect. Be yourself. Listen. Maybe know a joke or two. If you’re interested, say so. If she’s not interested, then move on.

A crucial, urgent read in this moment of fascist acceleration: “Williams penetrated a new generation of paramilitary leaders, which included doctors, career cops and government attorneys… It was a world where a man would propose assassinating politicians, only to spark a debate about logistics.”

I’m taking a break from US history to read Keegan’s First World War. It’s really wild that people invented automatic weapons and high explosives, then formed intricate military alliances, and thought that would all work out fine.

The US government banned TikTok, alleging it spreads foreign government propaganda. Also, it defunded the anti-propaganda agency. Maybe the TikTok ban wasn’t really about stopping foreign government propaganda?

Me: If they eliminate debt ceiling, they could push through massive tax cuts and bankrupt the country. Also me: They already did that. Remember his first term? M: fair. if we’re ever going to have a functional govt, we have to get rid of the debt ceiling. AM: so we should take this opening.

I’m trying to set realistic expectations for what is about to happen. But it’s a lot. Also, how do I tell the people who still believe things will be pretty much fine that things are already not fine and there is no limit to how bad they can get?

Trans folks were always just the beginning of the rights attacks on peoples rights. Because democrats have capitulated the right will come for all lgbtqia rights and civil rights they are already using the same tactics to ready the theater for collapsing Oberfell, Lawrence, and brown vs. Board etc

What’s happening to trans people is wrong. I’m a cis person. I talk about this to other cis people. They are awful about it, I’m sorry to say. But I will keep trying.

Replacing social media with books is working out well for me. The last 3 books I read are The 100 Years War on Palestine, Very Fine People by Moxon and A People’s History of the United States. These are all good books.

I imagine the end of birthright citizenship and realize no one in the US would be a citizen, except people who took the citizenship test (I guess?) So newborns would have to take the test.

Read this powerful statement by Harry Litman, explaining his resignation as the senior legal analyst for the Los Angeles Times. I have watched the Times sink to second rate status. Harry’s departure suggest it is quickly becoming a red rag in a blue state. harrylitman.substack.com/p/why-i-just...

Read a little bit more about this, and goddammit we're getting played you guys. The original link from the ASA is very dishonest. They are moving to the CMS standard for anesthesia billing. In other words, they are going to pay the same way they do for Medicare and Medicaid.

Developing reading skills, even if you missed them until adulthood, is a valid and worthwhile activity.

I’m also reading Very Fine People by A.R. Moxon. It’s a very good book if you’re confused why we in the US are so cruel and we keep finding every and any reason to keep being cruel. The author is on here, too. Maybe follow him.

Also transphobia is already coming for cis people. It’s been targeting cis people since it started. In fact women athletes have been accused of being male for decades

A People’s History of the United States is an interesting book.

I see disappointment in the corporate media and y’all that failure was inevitable and already well underway. It’s also historically consistent. Please support truly independent publications like @truthout.bsky.social.

It’s almost like Republicans calling certain people groomers is projection.

first they came for immigrants, and i said 'we too hate these dangerous illegals' then they came for disabled people, and i said 'we too hate these workshy scum' then they came for trans people, and i said 'we too hate these groomers' then i said 'why is the far right on the rise everywhere?'

With the advent of streaming, I ditched most of my CDs years ago. I willingly handed control of a precious resource over to some billionaire who might just snatch it all away on a whim. I still have my ancient iPod Classic, though. Weird that it’s now priceless.

I am scared because I am a nice person who cares about others and keeps to himself. I expect to be targeted because fascists tend to target people like me.
