My take after this last week:

America continues to get lost fighting about ideology in order to avoid any acknowledgement of its unhealthy relationship with firearms

And just to be clear, I'm firmly a leftist, but other leftists are not responsible for my actions

people love bringing up japan when it comes to deporting immigrants/ creating a homogenous society, but if you bring up japan's anti-gun laws it's "woah woah woah"

I've been told that the way I would eat twinkies was unholy...

I regret nothing

On reimagining eating while Autistic: "creating space to gently unpack food stories without judgment. It means recognizing the trauma that comes from years of being told that your food preferences are problematic, inconvenient, or embarrassing." -Naureen Hunan

Autistic individuals often have unique and deeply personal experiences with food—experiences that are frequently misunderstood or pathologized.

I hope your community is never occupied like LA or DC. But if it is, you’ll quickly find that people don’t take kindly to having their city under federal control. And folks are just getting started.

Stay strong, y'all. We can rise stronger from the ashes of the fires he's setting; stay focused on keeping as many of your loved ones and neighbors out of harms way as you can 💜

It's almost like giving important jobs only to people you know is a bad idea

But nobody expected a failed businessman to be an effective leader. He's governing exactly the way he was elected to govern; dismantle as much as he can, as fast as he can

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.”

This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over.

Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

When I feel I'm not doing enough I remind myself that by taking care of my child, by supporting him in the ways he needs support rather than let society dictate what his needs should (or shouldn't) be, I am doing some small part to make the world a safer place, with a bigger tent for people like him

It's always funny when a white guy is like, "no one is talking about this thing or how to solve it!"

And it's something about which bell hooks wrote extensively.

Tee hee.

Also we’re talking about

“Why can’t men get laid”

But everything punishes women for getting laid or wanting to be sexual in any way

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down operations after loss of federal funding:

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) announced today that it will begin an orderly wind-down of its operations following the passage of a federal rescissions package and the release of the Senate Appropriations Committee’s FY 2026 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (Labor-H) appropriations bill, which excludes funding for CPB for the first time in more than five decades.

For nearly 60 years, CPB has carried out its Congressional mission to build and sustain a trusted public media system that informs, educates, and serves communities across the country. Through partnerships with local stations and producers, CPB has supported educational content, locally relevant journalism, emergency communications, cultural programming, and essential services for Americans in every community.

“Despite the extraordinary efforts of millions of Americans who called, wrote, and petitioned Congress to preserve federal funding for CPB, we now face the difficult reality of closing our operations,” said CPB President and CEO Patricia Harrison. “CPB remains committed to fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities and supporting our partners through this transition with transparency and care.”

Plan in sight for the future, both the ultimate goal and the smaller steps I need to achieve to put myself in the right place to meet the big goal. As an autistic person who often oscilates between living only within the big dream or just getting one day to the next, this is significant progress 💖♾️🎉

Lou Arthur @kerryontop.bsky.social · Jul 22

My autistic child is, and always will be, the best part of my life. He keeps me fighting for the future, and every good thing I have in my life, every positive trait about me, is a direct result of me adjusting to meet him where he is. He keeps me sane in a world gone mad 💖
