If stopping at a stop sign is an example of everyday ABA, what’s my operational goal, who’s collecting data on my discrete trials, and where are the thousands of M&Ms I’m owed for decades of lawful driving?

A red octagonal stop sign modified to include ABA data tracking. Below the large white word “STOP,” a data panel displays a behavioral goal: “Given an intersection with a stop sign, the driver will stop for at least 4 seconds in 3 consecutive sessions.” A trial chart shows six entries marked with plus and minus signs, and a small line graph displays a rising trend in correct responses. The sign mimics a discrete trial data sheet embedded into a traffic sign.

Trump’s “one big beautiful bill” strips courts of power to enforce orders. No oversight. No limits. He could defy the law—and stay in power forever.

See the alt text for more details.
Contact your senators: They are the last defense against dictatorship, but only if we convince them to vote “NO!”
Bold red square image with large white text at the top reading “KING OF AMERICA?” and bright yellow text below reading “NO! ACT NOW!” Buried inside Trump’s “one big beautiful bill” is a provision that would strip federal courts of their power to enforce their own rulings. “No court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given…” What does that mean? It means if Trump or his allies defy a federal court order, nothing happens. The courts will have no teeth. No enforcement. Just empty words. As Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky warns: “Without the contempt power, judicial orders are meaningless… There is no way to understand this except as a way to keep the Trump administration from being restrained when it violates the Constitution or otherwise breaks the law.” This is Trump’s Enabling Act—his legal mechanism to dismantle checks and balances and rule without restraint. This is what Hitler did in 1933: passed a law that looked procedural but gave him total power and neutered opposition. This bill would do the same. No meaningful oversight. No court enforcement. No limits on executive power. If it passes, Trump could write an executive order eliminating term limits—and there would be no court able to stop him. He already has loyalists in the military. The rest would be left to resist as insurgents in their own country. This is what Trump meant when he said, “you’ll never have to vote again.” This is the end of democracy. CALL your Senators NOW. Tell them to vote NO on the so-called “beautiful bill.” There is nothing beautiful about authoritarianism.

I’m now offering custom bracelets: your choice of word(s), your choice of color(s).

Three rainbow-colored loom band bracelets on a wrist, each with white letter beads spelling a word or phrase. The left bracelet says “RISE UP,” the middle one says “RESIST,” and the right one says “UNITE.” The background is black sand with soft, wavy ridges. Two loom band bracelets on a wrist, one white and one black. The white bracelet has black-lettered beads spelling “AGAPE,” and the black bracelet has the same style of beads spelling “THELEMA.” The background is softly blurred in warm brown tones.

Mister Kitty, resting up for another day of resting.
This photo captures a close-up of a black-and-white cat’s face and paw. The cat appears to be resting, with its whiskers and part of its nose visible against a red background. Its white paw is delicately placed on a black leather surface, with its claws slightly extended. The focus on the paw and the soft texture of the fur create an intimate and endearing moment. The scene is cozy and emphasizes the cat’s relaxed state.

Fermat the Wonder Cat, a.k.a Mister Kitty, reclining on our bed today, dreaming in a shaft of sunlight. He is an old boi, born in August of 2008.
This image shows a black-and-white cat comfortably napping in a cozy environment. The cat is lying on its side, with its paws stretched out and its body relaxed. The setting includes vibrant purple fabric and a patterned blanket in the background, adding warmth and texture to the scene. Soft natural light highlights the cat’s fur, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

In May, I will have been living in a minivan for a decade.

This is a photo of my breakfast, a cold tomato soup. All ingredients purchased at Dollar Tree, so the soup cost $2.50 plus tax and the entire box of crackers was another $1.25.

More details in the alt text.
The image shows a meal setup inside a vehicle. There are two open cans of Margaret Holmes vegetables—one is labeled “Seasoned Green Lima Beans” and the other “Tomatoes, Okra & Corn.” In the foreground is a purple collapsible bowl filled with the mixed contents of the cans, forming a vegetable soup. To the side is a box of Monet crackers labeled “Wheat Entertainment Crackers” and a metal can opener. The scene is set on the grey, jersey knit sheet on a twin bed in the cargo bay of a minivan with all seats folded into the floor.

Today I saw a new wheelchair symbol painted over the older, more static wheelchair symbol.
A new wheelchair symbol painted over an older wheelchair symbol. This image depicts a weathered and cracked accessible parking space symbol painted on an asphalt surface. The design is a variation of the International Symbol of Access but has been updated to show a more active figure. It features a stylized, dynamic white stick figure in a wheelchair leaning forward with an arm extended backward as if propelling the chair. The background is painted blue, and the symbol is outlined in a yellow square. The paint is faded and chipped, with visible cracks in the asphalt beneath it, giving the image a sense of wear and age.

I currently have:
* Neptune trine natal Neptune
* Neptune conjunct natal Chiron
* Neptune trine natal Jupiter
* Uranus trine natal Uranus
* Uranus opposing natal Neptune
* Uranus square my midheaven
* Saturn trine natal Mars

That's a lot of symbolic major life shift to have at the same time.

If you only accept autistic behavior from autistic people but criticize or mock people who behave the same way because you don't believe they are disabled, you're being ableist AF.

Normalize diversity. EVERYONE is allowed to be "awkward and weird" regardless of their neurotype or dx status.

I am 1.6 meters tall.
There are 1.6 kilometers in a mile.

So I am one millimile tall.
That's 1 mmi.

I've been drawing mandalas lately. They are soothing to draw and color.
