The last thing any parent with a child who has an autism diagnosis is to be put in a data base adding labels to them. I have fought long and hard to bring Canaan up to live as normal a life as possible. Putting him in a database solely to label him is just wrong. #USDemocracy

Well, if I'm going to post #hummingbirds, I can't not post a Snowcap. #birds @tapirvalley.bsky.social #CostaRica

Every year we make a flavor called 50% Off Easter Candy made with whatever candy I can get marked down so it’s a different mix every year. We made it today and it’ll be available later this week.

Magnificient on Michigan. Chicago in Spring.

A recent study found that "mild" stress is enough to trigger PTSD in autistic individuals. Think about that. MILD stress triggering PTSD in autistic individuals. And not enough people are talking about it. This is a SIGNIFICANT finding, if you ask me. So let's talk about it...

folks, autistic people feel empathy. they often don't display emotion in a neurotypical way, which means people often *refuse to empathize with them.*

Getting a couple of smaller jobs off the workbench tonight before I begin tackling the major restoration work that I'm so excited for. These are for two different clients, both are client designed. Something is in the air that demands yellow, red, blue, and green English muffle glass!

It's the first step to a state trying to potentially economically boycott El Salvador

When you, white US liberal, cheer bad things happening to people in red states because "they voted for Trump" notwithstanding that lots of marginalized people live there, just consider what you'd say if people in other countries say *you* deserve oppression because Trump won the popular vote.

There needs to be more sci fi that’s post capitalism and not apocalyptic

The canceled grands are shock and awe, but the real damage will come from the long-term (massive) reductions in funding to the entire US research ecosystem and the defunding of entire fields and initiatives for training, growing, and diversifying the research workforce.

Superb parrot chick being adorable and green 😭💚🧡💚

I'm going to tell you again. There is NO REASON to vote for this man and if you do, everything you hold dear in this city is going to be destroyed.

The cool thing about liberal “democracy” is people like Henry Kissinger can be a state department fixture for years, never having been elected by the people, killing people and toppling governments all over the globe, and some don’t think that’s “authoritarian”

So basically our core biomedical agenda has gone from cancer and heart disease research with major investments in alzheimers/dementia research to jacking up the sperm count of teenage males and a new wild goose for the 'hidden causes' of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

The US has outlived its shelf life. It's over. Capital has moved on to developing nations, all that's left for the US is for the vultures to pick it's bones clean. Any idea of revitalising manufacturing in the US is pure fantasy. It's not going to happen.

ppl on tiktok are going "omg we're about to have an art renaissance like in the 1920s, music and stories are gonna be great" girl how 😭 you already don't support the artists that we have right now and most of yall are using chatgpt and devaluing actual human-made artwork.

how the fuck are you supposed to keep a job as an adhd/autistic person who regularly experiences burnout four years was my high score at this job. usually i can only keep a job for 1-2 years

I thought everyone should read Malak’s words on her fundraiser ❤️

Lol i posted this a month ago and I was right. No more federal inspection of dairy but trying to remove red dye 40 from foods

Two women at this playground are matchmaking their dogs to make puppies and it’s real weird lol

How did you learn to accept being ill and having lost your future, job, dream of kids, independence, money, everything? Any books that helped, other ways to find meaning? (Please don't recommend therapy cause i have been trying and failing to find a good therapist) #ChronicIllness #LongCovid

If we continue burning fossil fuels and warming the ocean, coral reefs will become a thing of the past.

If you noticed that I deactivated bluesky earlier this month, it's because I, an american citizen wanted to be able to honestly say I had no social media if asked (well I still had linkedin but be for real that's not social media)

god this shit is blood boiling

doesn't matter if it's real or not, if the vibe is performative cruelty towards a group of those who have less power than you - you're trying to profit off of cruelty, you are engaging with the politics of cruelty. and those are rancid vibes.

one of the tasks of the American left is to explain to retail and service workers that this is the future that America has planned for them

We are at least 4-5 stanzas deep in the “first they came for…” poem and there are still not enough people speaking out

If you’re over 35 and you don’t own a home, have you considered communist revolution?
