I feel this post 😩 Those kids have only known worsening government dysfunction. Half their life, the half they were aware of politics, has been all DJT all the time. It's a struggle to remind middle age people how it's supposed to be 🤬

In the dream, there were various ways of hiding people:
-first, it was just, "be where they're not looking, stay off their radar."
That stopped working when people realized you weren't a 100% True Believer™ in the party line.
-then, it was, "organized shelters w/ camouflage," like farm communes...

The govt wasn't just killing disabled & non-white ppl. They were killing off anyone who had expended their fertility, & had a compromised immune system, & therefore "kept getting sick all the time."

The Christmas season is here, and that means food drives and charitable giving. Here are a few pointers for people who plan to donate to food banks or client pantries.
Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, millions of Americans will be donating to food banks and small client pantries run by nonprofit. As someone who volunteers in the client pantry of a domestic violence organization, and who has donated to other pantries in the past, I have a few pointers. 🧵

As a musician who quit playing because too many men were given a pass on their sexism, partner abuse, sexual assaults, and bigotry, please pay attention when artists are horrid humans and avoid giving them new money. They continue to abuse because they believe they are allowed due to your support.

My fellow autistics, THIS is why some people fear and hate our autism. We notice things. We see through social constructs. We point out that the emperor has no clothes.
All of those traits are sorely needed right now. Suit up. We’ve got work to do.

These people have been duped into believing that it is horrible to have children who analyze things and pick up patterns, call out bullshit when they see it, disregard hierarchies, are driven by intense interests, and communicate directly by people who see all of that as a threat.
