One of the most important parts of being autistic for me is after being social for a few hours with family members, going back home in a dark room lying down to gather my thoughts and recharge. Other autistics, don't feel guilty for doing this, do what you have to do in order to help you.

Appalling, soulless erasure that will not stand. Still up, for now, on the site are pictures of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, who would have words (or more) with whomever at the NPS did this today.

Excellent article. Can we just get clear about something please? We live in a world where it is fine to kill #Africans and #Palestinians, our government has no balls because we’re broke and other nations we used to bully now have power. We are uncivilised. #War www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I visited the Pentagon recently and remarked to my escort there were lots of bathrooms. He said it’s because the Pentagon’s in Virginia and when it was built Jim Crow laws were in effect - there had to be separate bathrooms for blacks. The past isn’t dead. It isn’t even past.

Today's anti-DEI initiatives are genealogically descended from the "massive resistance" movement against Brown v. Board. The pictures on this website depicting the parents and grandparents of today's anti-woke warriors are worth sitting with. segregationinamerica.eji.org/report/massi...
