According to Bex's doctor, the radiation therapy is working!

The bad news is they need to pay the $3280 remaining balance ASAP!

$20 from your pocket could literally save their life.
Give it today- their treatment has been interrupted several times due to lack of funds.

There's another U.S. voter suppression attempt I hadn't heard of until today. It's about requiring "documentary proof of United States citizenship to register to vote in federal elections."

Public comment is open until October 20th.

Members of the Unpresidented Brass Band were bull rushed & brutalized in the middle of playing "Ghostbusters." One was sent to the hospital and another tackled, arrested, and taken across state lines where she is still being detained.

Being direct isn’t rudeness.
Needing quiet isn’t disrespect.
Avoiding eye contact isn’t dishonesty.
Autistic communication isn’t broken it’s just not neurotypical.
Learn our language too dam

We’re told to “just act normal” But what is “normal” in a world that pathologizes both Blackness and autism?
Black autistic liberation means unlearning respectability politics and ableism.
Let us be fully ourselves 👍🏽

Experimenting with a new concept using @queermedieval.bsky.social’s Portland Frog woodcut. Embracing goofiness as protest.
A poster in green ink on off white paper. In the center is a woodcut style illustration of a protester wearing an inflatable frog costume standing up against two ICE agents. The text above and below reads: VIVE LA RIBBITSTANCE

Gosh this could save so many of us if It were direct aid to autistic individuals... Instead its used to destroy us...

Fuck institutions. Save folks asking for help right in front of you.

Autism $peaks raised ~$34m in 2024 and spent 1% on family services and grants to help Autistic individuals. They spend approximately 25% of their budget on lobbying and another 25% on research (primarily on genetic testing and causation, i.e. eugenics). They aren’t trying to make our lives better.

Autism $peaks is the largest and most popular Autism organization (among allistics), who continues to be 100% in support of ABA. They have lobbyists who push ABA as the “gold standard Autism treatment.” It utilizes same practices as “conversion therapy,” which is currently banned in 28 countries.

Give money to artists whose work you enjoy. Commission suggesting, purchase something, send them no-strings money. Support them because art is SO IMPORTANT. Normie art, weird art, queer art, cozy art, SUPPORT ARTISTS BECAUSE YOU LOVE ART.

Well, I know the second answer is no. MCU's Guardians of the Galaxy is at least arguable here, but Star Trek: Nemesis easily ranks under at least a couple others.

To Kill A Mockingbird should be discussed as a book depicting disabilities and neurodivergence. I always heard it discussed as about racism, and sure, that's there, but it's not the interesting part.

Since Clydesdales are horses named (indirectly) for the river Clyde, that makes them river horses, so a Clydesdale is a hippopotamus.
