Probably should've put this up sooner, but I am not one of those "alt" gov accounts. Like I'm not the alt geological department or anything.

Today is World AIDS Day. People with IDD are often left out of conversations about HIV and AIDS, but they do impact our community. Check out this post with parts of our plain language resource “A Self-Advocate’s Guide to Safer Sex.” Full resource here: autisticadvocacy.org/resources/pr...
Orange and white textured gradient background. There’s an illustration of a red awareness ribbon on the right side. Text reads: Today, December 1st, is World AIDS Day. To commemorate World AIDS Day and the impact AIDS has on our communities, this post has some parts of our plain language resource about HIV and AIDS. Orange and white textured gradient background. Text reads: What is HIV? HIV is a germ that makes it hard for your body to fight other germs. HIV kills off the parts of your body that fight off germs. This can make it very easy to get sick. Without treatment, people with HIV often get sick with diseases that people without HIV can fight off easily. Without treatment, people with HIV can easily die of diseases that do not make people without HIV very sick. How can you get HIV? Sex: HIV is an STI. This means you can get HIV through having sex. Sharing needles: by sharing needles, syringes, and other injection supplies with other people who have HIV if you inject drugs. During pregnancy: pregnant people who have HIV can give HIV to their fetus if they are not on HIV medication. While breastfeeding: breastfeeding people who have HIV can give HIV to their babies if they are not on medication. Orange and white textured gradient background. Text reads: What is AIDS? AIDS is a disease caused by HIV. When HIV gets inside your body, the HIV germs kill off certain cells in your body. These cells are called CD4 cells. CD4 cells help your body fight off germs. If a person with HIV does not get proper medication and treatment, the HIV germs will keep killing off CD4 cells. If a person’s CD4 cell count gets too low, the person can get very sick. If a person has HIV and their CD4 cell count gets too low, that person has AIDS. People with AIDS can get very sick. Not everyone with HIV has AIDS. People with HIV can take medication to stop themselves from getting AIDS. The best way to prevent HIV from causing AIDS is to test for HIV. That way, if someone has HIV, they will know they have HIV. Then, they can get medication to stop them from getting AIDS. Orange and white textured gradient background. Text reads: HIV Prevention. Using a condom or other barrier method is a good way to help prevent HIV and other STIs. Both internal and external condoms can help prevent you from getting or giving someone HIV. Dental dams and gloves can also help prevent you from getting or giving someone HIV. PrEP. PrEP is short for “pre-exposure prophylaxis.” “Prophylaxis” means “prevention.” “Pre-exposure” means “before you are exposed” to HIV. PrEP is a medication you take regularly to prevent getting HIV. PrEP can make your chance of getting HIV smaller, even if you do not use condoms. PEP. PEP is short for “post-exposure prophylaxis.” “Prophylaxis” means “prevention.” “Post-exposure” means “after you are exposed” to HIV. PEP can make your chance of getting HIV smaller. You take PEP after you might have been exposed to HIV.

Good food for thought, if anyone ever listened to the people affected by our carceral state.
Phillip Lewis on Twitter said: "The Marshall Project asked incarcerated people what might have kept them out of prison. Their responses: affordable housing, vocational programs, cheaper college classes, grief counseling, drug prevention programs, daycare vouchers and more."

The presidential pardon power is literally, intentionally, an end run around the entire democractic process and rule of law to allow one asshole to pardon all his corrupt friends. That's what it's *for*, that's what it's always been *for*, and god fuck this country.

Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

She is literally rewriting the Bible & Christ's teaching of compassion & empathy, trying to make him out as some harsh disciplinarian. You know who does this stuff? Cults. Literal cults.

Lack of empathy is a hallmark of sociopathy.

Oklahoma University has placed a grad student instructor on admin leave for failing a psychology paper on gender for citing *the Bible* as a source of empirical evidence.

In response, OU has placed on instructor on admin leave citing, get this, the FIRST AMENDMENT.

Universities are cooked.
OU placed a graduate student instructor on leave after a student publicly contested a grade and filed an illegal discrimination claim after she received a failing grade on an essay that cited the Bible. According to a statement released Sunday, the university wrote it is taking these concerns seriously and has begun a full review of the situation. “The University of Oklahoma takes seriously concerns involving First Amendment rights, certainly including religious freedoms. Upon receiving notice from the student on the grading of an assignment, the University immediately began a full review of the situation and has acted swiftly to address the matter,” the statement read.

Autistic and other disabled people have always been and likely will always be part of our societies, and are valuable human beings who deserve unqualified love, acceptance, and access to supports. Truth from an older article, since I don't write so much anymore:

My situation is very tight at the moment, and the holidays are making it significantly worse. So I'm asking for help. I hate to keep sharing this and hope that it will pass soon.

Thank you so much to those who've helped! Anything means everything, even a boost, and I appreciate you all very much.
