Autistic interests aren’t “special”
They’re informed by values and deep emotional relevance and help ground us.
They’re not pathological quirks.

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.
This is so smart. I’m so impressed with all the different ways you’re helping your neighbors.

When you focus on the regular people showing up magnificently in all of their flawed beauty, it helps you to keep going.

Art and writing is a form of protest. It is a form of empowerment. It is part of being human.
That is why you write when the world is on fire.

Why is it that tech and AI boosters keep saying "you can't put the genie back in the bottle" when making arguments about AI's supposed inevitable dominance? Did they not read the story? The genie does, indeed, go back in the bottle. Maybe we should start there.

To further torture the metaphor:
Each room can only have one table, which can only have one serving dish, and each person once they've managed to assemble a meal has to find a whole separate room in which to eat it.

As the cost of living in urban areas becomes so out of reach for many WA families, ppl are pushed into fire zones & flood plains; then they are more at harm due to impacts of climate change. These are equity and environmental justice issues; need compassionate solutions for vulnerable communities.

Oh, but see Pharisee is an antisemitic slur. Jews are Pharisees. I don't actually care if you think it's a "metaphor." JEWS ARE PHARISEES. The tanaaim are the Rabbinic ancestors. When you make a whole thing about how Pharisees are the bad guys, you are being ANTISEMITIC.

Republicans want you to believe there’s only two options for healthcare:
Keep subsidizing insurance companies
Give money directly to the people (which will ensure disabled and chronically ill individuals lose their healthcare and many will die)
There’s a third option
Universal healthcare for all

Bail reform not only made New York more just, it also literally made it safer.
Too bad our elected leaders, public safety officials, and the overwhelming majority of the press are so deeply invested in a narrative entirely divorced from empirical reality.

In early results, Katie Wilson trails incumbent Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell by 7 points, which would put her within reach of catching him in late returns. This is going to be a nailbiter.
