One of, if not *the* main cause of autism is autistic people having kids. Research into the cause of autism is part of a eugenic project to keep autistic people from having families so there won’t be any more of us.
There is no ethical way to research what “causes” autism. It’s an inherently eugenicist project. The only practical application for such research is eliminating #autistic people.

There is no pain
You are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying

NEW YORK CITY: all out call to canal street & Lafayette as of 12:26 pm, 11/22 — ICE made arrests, fears they might return.

Make them *be* the weird chair!
It's almost Thanksgiving! Got an ICE member coming for dinner at your house? No you don't! Can't stop them because you're not the one hosting? No problem. You can shun them, mock them, shame them, cough in their food. They get the weird chair. No weird chair? Make a weird chair.

FUCK THIS
The CDC’s website now says: The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.

I hope men understand that it is very very rare for anyone who is not a woman’s lover, close friend, or relative to stand up for her when another man insults her in a room of other men. It is incredibly unusual. They may not join in the bullying, but they’re unwilling to step in to stop it.

Not to yuck peoples yum but if they can let Patton Oswalt back in for doing the exact same damn thing then they can also reinstate Link.
First off, my suspension has ended. Got a little harsh with a post a few days ago but I didn’t have my feet on the ground and I’m sorry if I offended anyone. Will try to be more chipper. Knock on wood!

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Former legislative staffer and current autistic here. This is all very good advice! Calls really do matter, but all you need to do is demonstrate that you’re a constituent, name the issue that you’re calling about and give it a thumbs up or thumbs down.
Tips for Autistics to shake phone anxiety & call reps:

1) Body double, live or virtual. Have a friend call!

2) Have a written script! it's ok to sound like you're reading directly from it. You don't need to mask, but you DO need to be clear

3) Have 1-3 SPECIFIC issues to address. Ex: DOE & RFK!

And, what, all of this was so people could get on airplanes at thanksgiving, a thing NO ONE actually wants to do?
