Thanks, I just inhale snorted a sharp piece of tortilla chips into my nasal cavity when I read this. So I'll be thinking about how much I love america all day (as usual, but with more righteous suffering)

That photo from that shoot with Burroughs is one of the only times I've seen him (Bill) smile. He's almost unrecognizable.

Probably because that would mean having to listen to Native and Black people and admit they know more than us? Because they've been fighting it for hundreds of years?

The risk is elevated at dr offices, so just don't go there. (and I know a lot of people aren't) Also, what's with these people hiding behind "most people" or "the world"? Just say "I personally don't care about you...

As impressive as the huge marches were yesterday, it's the small town rallies that bring a wee tear to my eye. I also feel like the intimacy of the smaller ones are more likely to build community and networks which may not have been in place previously.

It is not safe for anyone to visit here, and we are definitely not to be trusted. Not even after this regime is gone.

To the Editor:

I am one of these so-called profoundly autistic people this article describes. I cannot utter meaningful speech, and as a result, I was branded for years as someone with an intellectual disability and an I.Q. of 40. All this time, however, I understood everything that was going on around me. I just could not show it to others because of my deranged relationship with my own body.

I am concerned about the creation of a separate category, called profound autism, for those of us with the most severe disabilities.

There are real differences between the sort of autism that I have and so-called Asperger's syndrome. But it does not help us at all to impose a hierarchy of lower and higher functioning. We need to figure out how to tap into the skills and insights of those of us who cannot talk, who make up anywhere from 25 percent to 40 percent of the autistic community, depending on the estimate.

For me, the way out of this dilemma was learning to communicate by typing. I suddenly went from being seen as intellectually impaired to taking college classes. I was never low-functioning, and neither are my autistic brothers and sisters without the ability to speak. I was just misjudged and ignored, and I fear that my fate will be the fate of many others termed low functioning in this new schema.

A weird little tabby cat sitting in a bathtub. Only his head and shoulders are visible above the edge of the tub. He looks alert and silly, staring directly at the camera

I'm riding my bike to near our rally. I'm prepared to protect myself from general surveillance, pepper spray, rubber bullets, and tear gas. I hope I don't need them, but better safe than sorry. Power to the People!
