I'm glad to see some reporting on the risk to autistic individuals if they encounter a bunch of violent assholes who try to escalate every situation.

Because I'm talking about measles. It is also A VERY VERY VERY CONTAGIOUS VIRUS. If someone is in a room and has measles and then leaves that room and you enter that room within TWO HOURS (depending on humidity) you can get measles.
And people are contagious for four days before the rash appears.

beyond being an absolutely miserable illness, measles can cause immune amnesia. It wipes out your immune systems memory of how to fight every infection, every vaccine you've ever had.

This is the direct result of a judicial order. Law isn’t magic but it can be powerful stuff.
Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Not sure where he got it, but in grad school one of my teachers taught me that.
This (long) thread is about the key distinctions I rely on as a critic. There's a Twitter version from 2021. This one builds on that one.
I will post them one at a time. Ready?

You think Starfleet Academy is woke because it has lesbians. I think Starfleet Academy is woke because they just did an episode about recognizing the colonialist attitudes underlying their white savior complex and pivoting to center the experience of a marginalized group instead.

SO EXCITED for this footage. I've been watching thousands of crows roost at sunset for awhile, but I've struggled to get quality flying in front of moon footage.
Last night I captured 8 of the 10,000+ crows take the path I've wanted.
More, better, to come in the future! But super jazzed for now 🪶

She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

We need to shut down the word "performative" until we can figure out what the hell is going on. Of course adopting symbols of protest and resistance is performative! Performance is a core strategy for mass movements!! That's why the call them demonstrations!!!
