Hey, BlueSky, serious question: If I, a highly organized person, offered you a reasonable price to help you go through your papers (bills, receipts, etc.), books, and overflowing drawers, would you give it a try EVEN THOUGH I don't have an Instagram presence or a video about my successful methods?

Yes, "imagine"!! Imagine every moment I’m trying to work filled with “look at me look at me!” Imagine trying to fill weekdays, as well as weekends, with playdates, bc we don’t live in an imagined suburbia where all kids are the same age and all home over the summer! Imagine never having time alone!

"Despair and believing that you are powerless is a form of 'obeying in advance.' People ARE doing things. You will meet those people when YOU start doing things." Concrete actions from @sifill.bsky.social, excellent as always.

I’m #autistic & #Jewish. I know plenty of other autistic Jews online.

How do you think it feels for us to watch rich, powerful men use autism as an excuse to spread Nazism?
