Q2: Do you see autistic or similarly neurodivergent characters portrayed differently in some genres compared to others? For example, in mysteries vs science fiction vs realistic books, TV, or movies. #AutChat

Q1: Sometimes a story will portray a nonhuman character as “autistic-coded”. For example, robots, aliens, changelings, etc., might be portrayed with autistic traits. How do you feel about this? Are there specific examples you particularly like or dislike? #AutChat

Most years, I do a #PhotoADay mindfulness practice during the season of #Lent. For #UnitarianUniversalists who engage in this #SpiritualPractice — aka #UULent — rather than centering deprivation, which has its place, we focus on depth and intentionality. I'll thread the days I don't forget 😅 #UU

NEW - Texas Rep. Tom Oliverson has filed HB 3817, which would make it fraud to identify as a gender different from the one assigned at birth. While it stands little chance of passing, it fits into a wider narrative that casts being trans as deceptive and fraudulent: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

The Congressional Budget Office confirms that the only way to cut $880B is by cutting Medicaid. And the only way to cut that much from Medicaid is by stripping coverage & access from millions of older adults & other low-income Americans. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I continue to speak out against every bill that attempts to remove trans people from public life. And I will continue to do so for as long as I draw breath. I hope one day the government will leave my people alone.
