It's horrifying and and grotesque that so many people (scientists! Doctors!) for so long claimed (and some still do!) that autistic people don't feel empathy. What a monstrous and harmful lie.

for disability pride month I would like to remind everyone that disability includes people with severe, "ugly" disabilities that are often left out of disability conversations. people w/ schizophrenia, BP1, BPD, DID, and other severe mental illnesses still deserve respect

A lot of autistic people exist in a world where people make it clear that we did something wrong, but hardly ever explain what went wrong. After enough of this, confusion, anxiety, and self-doubt become near-constant companions in social situations

As a longtime NYT subscriber who is completely open to and supportive of the idea of Biden dropping out I find this article breathtakingly irresponsible. I cannot believe it was published.

I think the worst thing about having bad knees and hips isn’t the chronic pain or even the flair up pain, but having to deal with old, abled people going “sore knees!?! wait until you my age!”

My thoughts are that my spiritual tradition is Black southern hoodoo influenced by voodoo, Ifa & ancient Kemet, so the New England witch type is not my witch type, but how a Black woman would navigate those more white spiritual spaces is really interesting to me.

The thing about Black folks as a people is that we understand how to keep joy in our hearts during hard times. You see the Palestinian people doing that too during their genocide. White American culture seems to lack this capacity severely compared to us.

There should no outrage about what the NYT publishes anymore. They're established as hella ethically shady & constantly purveying white supremacist capitalism. They also remain one our nation's most important papers of record & still do some things well. But quit being exasperated about them.

My job as a deeply struggling person in life culturally endowed to handle extremities of fascism that people who aren’t Black know almost nothing of what it’s like to bear is not to coddle & say, there, there, to those hopeless about the world. It’s merely to share why that’s not my choice.

Ok firstly know your race isn't indicated well but you seem white. I don't coddle whites, I keep it pushing. I appreciate your sharing from your antiracist journey. Continue listening to Black people & learning the best ways to relate to us as nonblack. And don't shove multiple responses to us.

If you steal $1000, you can be sent to prison. When health insurance companies steal $50,000,000,000, they get tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts, while the people they steal from die or go into debt. But keep blaming immigrants and poor people for rising crime.

The AI hype cycle is really a massive mis-investment of society's accumulated wealth (held under capitalism by rich people) that dwarfs the most wasteful bonfires of resources under the Soviet Five Year Plans.

apparently Bluesky has received the Mandate of the BTS Army. I'm curious what the thing was that pushed them en masse over the tipping point of leaving Twitter

My comrades in ADHD and/or Autism You are allowed to have needs and take up space Someone getting angry at you for saying a truth they don't want to handle is not your fault You are not responsible for someone else's poorly managed emotions We are not the fault in their flawed society

Out of the hospital. It's not pneumonia. It's something worse, and they can't help me. They recommended I seek pulmonary specialists across the state, because they've never seen anything like what I have. My lungs are full of bleeding lesions, some with holes. I need a health potion and a miracle.

“National greatness” is a pernicious lie in any context. “Russians and Americans have a lot in common—much of it unhealthy—including an ‘imperial provincialist’ outlook, a tendency toward grandiosity and conspiracy theories, and a penchant for violence” www.bugbeardispatch.com/p/some-july-...

My wonderful grad advisor once diagnosed why a lot of my academic writing read as convoluted & dull (he prob didn't use those words): I give too many caveats & scope conditions BEFORE stating the main point; they almost always belong afterward Still today, regularly, I realize this is my problem

It’s important to understand that we’re subject to indoctrination & propaganda from our government. We receive an extensive training to hold America’s alleged values dear in our upbringing. Until you investigate them, much of what you think of America is what the government wants you to think.

Before today’s Twins game there was a moment of silence for Vikes rookie Khyree Jackson, killed in a car crash overnight. The “moment” lasted maybe 5 seconds. I’ve seen those go a full minute at Premier League matches on TV. It’d serve Americans well to STFU, just for a minute.
