Right, make an intro post.
I am an AuDHD, leftist, Gen X settler living on the traditional land of the Blackfoot Confederacy on Turtle Island.
I was there, back in the day, when we kicked the Nazi skin heads out of punk gigs.
At the beginning of the pandemic I found my great grandmothers

Teachers, professors, public servants, journalists, organizers, and targeted communities often pay the price for resisting populists.
Check in. Show up at their events. Defend them when they’re smeared. Abandoned critics make the “majority” myth look stronger.+

Please avoid the label #ProfoundAutism, as "There is a clear risk that 'Profound Autism' will lead to clinical and research confusion." Instead, we need to describe autistic people's support needs individually, to ensure they get the right accommodations.

Dear Men™️,
Why would we give you the time of day when all that you seem to offer is easily replaced by a cart and a vibrator.
Stop choosing the myth that you are supposed to be in charge and learn how to work in a group.
The pathetic victim schtick just highlights your weakness.
I am so tired.

The table beside me was selling AI generated stickers, bookmarks and plastic crap you can order pre printed.

1/2 DRUG ALERT ‼️
I’m hearing there are high levels of emergency calls for ODs because of yet another veterinary anesthetic contaminating the illicit drug supply — medetomidine, which causes prolonged sedation. Alerts are coming in from all parts of the province.
