The autistic urge to follow all rules while simultaneously believing authority and hierarchy is absolute garbo trash

Telehealth isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. For many of my patients with Long COVID and disabilities, in-person visits are exhausting, inaccessible, or simply not feasible. Removing telehealth coverage means denying care to those who need it most. We must protect access to virtual care.

ok so what gets called "gender ideology" is jsut like "be who and how you want" and what gets called "not ideology" is like "follow these specific unwritten rules and perform these forbidden rituals according to the circumstances of your birth"

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

Fake it till you make it? Nah, but I know the autistic fake it till you get chronic stress and anxiety that leads to CPTSD and autoimmune disease as you get older and keep dissociating because you’ve been trained and expected to act like a neurotypical despite it hurts your whole existence.

While I'm at it and it's early, I'll also say that FAFO discourse doesn't feel good to me at all. I think that the people who will find out the most are the same people who are always finding out: the most marginalized. I also think that it destroys potential solidarity and solidarity is needed now.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as allude to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

🚨 FEB 19: FEDERAL WORKERS SOUNDING THE ALARM 🚨 Musk wants to steal our data & public services—forcing workers to resign or be fired. That’s not a choice—it’s a corporate coup. Musk’s cuts threaten Social Security, veterans’ care, disaster relief, food & drug safety, & life-saving medical research.

Unprecedented times mean you need unprecedented care. Self care and community care. During the HIV/AIDS crisis, activists went to funerals in the morning, protested in the afternoon, and went dancing at night. Don’t forget to dance with your friends. It’s how you will be able to endure the rest.

Social reciprocity is always going to be better in homogenous samples vs different cultures and neurotypes It’s an issue of cultural competence and curiosity, not an inherent deficit in the side of the Autistic person

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism. But what the autistic people in your life hear when you spread that widely debunked misinformation is that you would prefer to have a child die a painful death from eradicated communicable disease than to be like them. That's nasty work. Hope this helps!

it is such a bummer entering into progressive “resistance” spaces and encountering less than 1/4 of the folks masking at the height of a flu/covid wave. I truly don’t understand how folks hold mutual liberation in their hearts and ignore such a basic demonstration of collective care and inclusion

New — USAID staff received an email just a few minutes ago letting them know HQ would be closed to all personnel Monday. It’s likely some employees will miss the overnight email, show up and be turned away. It was sent by Gavin Kliger, one of the young guys at DOGE doing Musk’s bidding.

I know why people are focusing on 47's fans. But I want to say that they don't matter now. There are so many people to engage who haven't paid attention to electoral politics for years but can be part of mutual aid & rapid response networks now.

Big national media outlet still failing. Headlines suggest some dispute over data access at US AID. Not connecting the dots with other DOGE moves. Not conveying illegality. *Not communicating constitutional crisis.

Trump is openly violating the law on a vast and unprecedented scale and everyone is acting like it's normal. NPR had a long story about finding a rare shrew. NYT said he was disregarding "legal niceties." This is an attack on the Constitution as profound as the attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
