I don't care if a non-disabled person accesses a disability accommodation for the same reason I don't care if a child whose parents are rich gets free lunch at school. We don't need to means test being a kind person. I have better things to do with my time than be a cop over social services.

If the writer’s eyes light up when asked, “why did the character do that?” then it’s real.

one of many parallels between anti-vaxxers & those who oppose gender-affirming care: they start by pretending they have a very specific concern (MMR vaccine, puberty blockers, etc), but once given any sway or say on the matter, they quickly strive to eliminate all of it
Kennedy's zombie ACIP panel just voted to restrict hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. Experts say it will harm children for no reason. www.ms.now/news/rfk-cdc...
ACIP member Dr. Cody Meissner:
"'Do no harm' is a moral imperative. We are doing harm by changing this wording. And I vote no."

RFK Jr.’s CDC panel: No more hepatitis B vaccine for some newborns
The CDC's vaccine advisory panel, stocked with anti-vaccine activists and loyalists to RFK Jr., voted Friday to stop recommending a birth dose of vaccine.

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

Trump is reminding me of this stupid racist plot point in a story I made as a kid where Obama repainted the White House, black to match himself.
Now Trump is filling the White House with orange and gold.
My idiotic characterizations of Democrats have turned out to be predictions about Republicans.

I swear, some chronically online gay people act like being gay is the only thing someone could have to come out about. It can't ever be neurodivergence, or a religious belief or lack thereof, or a cringe hobby. Frozen and Encanto mean more to me as autism allegory films than as LGBT allegory films.

We need a Finding Nemo 3 called Finding Marlin where Marlin must traverse the ocean to find the magic Clownfish puberty-blocking mushroom so he won't turn into a woman. Along the way, he'll have to ask himself what he really wants. Is he just afraid of womanhood because of his dead wife?

So Jurassic Park is about a group of rich people who don't understand that biology is far more complicated than "there are only two genders" and how this ignorance toward gender fluidity in nature causes these rich people to lose their money and die.

Being autistic is being told why didn’t you ask for help.
Because asking required social scripting, shame buffering, tone analysis, and a risk assessment.

While I think circumcision is largely unnecessary, I can't help but suspect some ulterior motive for this new circumcision scare. Probably anti-semitic. Or maybe closeted politicians are just starting a 10 year investment.
And connecting it to autism is just laughable on its face.

I heard Catholics had a procession to try to give Eucharist to prisoners in ICE facilities. I wanted to compare it to the LDS church's lack of activism but found out that the LDS church doesn't even give sacrament to prisoners at all.

The effort put into understanding 3I/Atlas has been spectacular, imaginative, professional and well-organized. Planetary scientists don't need Avi Loeb put in charge of an international directorate to tell them how to do their jobs.

I wonder if casually coming out about something is harder for an autistic person because you turn said things into special interests. You don't talk much to begin with, so you talking is already not a casual thing and if you start talking about something, you want to infodump. So best not to talk.

Yeah. What does the right-wing think the Space Force does anyway? They aren't combating demons on Mars. They're sitting at computers, handling and watching spy satellites.
Trump endorsed the Space Force. They should know this.

I can't get over how the right-wing doesn't understand modern militaries, with the majority serving non-combat roles. You think the best IT security & logistics personnel spends two hours in the gym every day to look like the cast of 300? They're at furry conventions and model train shows.

Transphobia was an obvious foot in the door to lead to homophobia. But I don't think people appreciate the way it's been used to lead to autism stigma. J.K. Rowling and others have been using autism and trans stigma to reinforce each other for years. Autism is the next boogeyman. Bigots don't stop.

Someone once said that women's brains are like spaghetti and men's brains are like boxes. But with gonads, it's the other way around. Testes are like spaghetti and ovaries are like boxes (or more accurately bubbles). Therefore, in order to better understand women, I need to think more with my balls.

I hate how in horror movies, when the main character finds a secret stack of snuff photographs, they waste no time in mixing them all up and reordering them so that the killer can tell their stuff was touched.
