SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Tribute thread to a legend. Rest in Power Alice Wong ❤️
A lot of people who look like me will have a lot to say about Alice in coming days and I stand by this: We take up too much space, something Alice and I talked about a lot. I'm focusing on letting Alice speak for herself, and uplifting those she asked to represent her.

It’s been two weeks since RFK said there is NO evidence that Tylenol causes autism (oops! lulz) and it’s funny how my phone has NOT been blown up by the people who were so eager to treat me like a dumbass for not believing that BS in the first place. Maybe they’re still writing their apologies…

Shower thoughts: “ashes to ashes and dust to dust” is actually a pretty weird way to describe the cycle of life. Would make more sense to say water to water or even goo to goo. Anyway, happy Scorpio season! 💀

Watched this tonight and it was for sure one of the best docs I’ve ever seen. I did cry… a LOT. Was not expecting body cams to be so compelling but this is an exceptional film
The best thriller of 2025 is Geeta Gandbhir's harrowing documentary THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR.
For @reverseshot.bsky.social, I spoke with Gandbhir during #NYFF63 about subverting the inherent dehumanizing of police bodycam videos to empathetically record a community.

Not looking for a circ debate - but the word “early” is doing some WEIRD work here 😳
RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

Please… give me a fire trine. And I say that as a mostly water girlie. I’ve had QUITE enough of the feels tyvm 😂
Just for the record, really looking forwards to the Aries Leo Saturn Jupiter trine next year, give me the devil I don‘t know at this point 😅
Has anybody noticed that Jupiter and Saturn station in a perfect trine in November? Should bring an intensification of that story, especially as the Sun, Venus and Mercury (rx and direct) all ping it as they pass through Scorpio.

Listen one thing I live by is my food thermometer. I consider myself a fairly empathetic person but I really can’t understand why you wouldn’t use something that costs $5 at the store and consistently tells you EXACTLY when the meat is perfectly cooked. This is genius level tech

This whole thread is very good and I can relate strongly. The culture around autism had been getting so much better in recent years and I hope the regression of the current moment is short lived
Well, I wish I’d known then what I know now: that I should have given myself more time to recognize my wonderful autistic boy for who he is, rather than what people assumed autism made him. I also wish I’d been able to recognize and dismiss all that debilitating ignorance, fear, and confusion. 6/

If my writing about autism does anything, whether it be in my books, my columns or my reported stories, I hope it advances the idea that autistic people are whole human beings as they are with legitimate needs and inner lives that deserve to be told the same as other stories.
