"If I say or write something it's been meticulously crafted to express my exact meaning."

That's me.

"I'm more likely to tackle an issue to get resolution because I’m unable to forget what was said."

Also that.

"I'm unable to recognize a person unless I actively examine their face for longer than it takes the average person."

And that.

"There are common traits the public associates with ASD:
lack of eye contact and social awkwardness
some autistic people either trained themselves or were forced to mask"

Yeah, that's me. I force eye contact, because I was told I came across as deceptive.

"lack of hunger and thirst triggers is a trait reported in autistic people"

I keep bottles of water in my office, to remind me to drink.

Quiet inlet of water, oil painting. I just returned from a visit with my dentist. Evidently the tooth pain I've been feeling is because I've been clenching my jaw. I guess the good news is I don't need a root canal, just better ways to relax. This painting is tranquility on a canvas for me.

re: Kansas, GOP Lawmakers, #TransGenocide 

@Frances_Larina

Reality doesn't fit neatly into their categories, but that won't stop them.

"On Feb. 6, 1897, Indiana's state representatives voted to declare 3.2 the legal value of pi."

Kansas, GOP Lawmakers, #TransGenocide 

"Kansas legislators impose sweeping law that legally erases trans people"

The gist of it is extremely simple, and exceedingly far-reaching: They're legally declaring everyone to be whatever sex & therefore gender that was assigned at birth based on external anatomy, forever and in all circumstances.

"Many supporters in the Legislature acknowledged before it passed that they hadn’t considered how it will be administered."

It's on its way to the Governor and they have the votes to override a veto.

I think that would have been valid pre-2020. Leading up to the 2020 election, it became the Party of MAGA, and they drove out the ones who weren't paying fealty to their mango man-baby king. Look at what's happening all over the country, where the GQP has control - even Shasta County, in blue California. They're totally nucking futz.

The key to life is simplicity.
and love, of course.
and clean socks.
coffee is important too.. maybe before socks.
OK, these aren't in order.

They so desperately want women trapped in marriages and pregnancies we don't want.

And evergreen reminder: that's one of the reasons they want child marriage, too.

They want women falling for the trap before we're old enough to know better.

If you don't alt your meme, I'll steal it and add the description myself. Sorry, that's the rules

@voron

If the GQP is smashed and the Dem party has no rival, one will be created. Our politics are designed for a two-party system. Just as third parties wind up with one of the old parties disappearing and leaving us with two, one party would create a vacuum, and a new, viable party would be created.
It could just as easily be a party to the left of Dems as it could be a party to the right of Dems.

I have a serious question for folks. Yes, the GOP is vile.

I wonder though, have people thought what American would be like if the GOP is smashed & the current corporate Dem party has no rival?

The economic policy is pretty much the GOP policy of 30 years ago.
Foreign policy is pretty much the same as the GOP of 15 years ago.
The immigration policy is pretty much the GOP policy of 15 years ago
Etc etc etc

#French drinks giant Pernod Ricard has restarted some exports of brands including Beefeater gin and #Jameson whiskey to russia.

Pernod Ricard said it had resumed limited shipments to "ensure the economic viability" of its russian operations.

But campaigners said the move was "disgusting".

The drinks firm had to U-turn on exporting Absolut vodka to russia last week after a backlash.

Republican: I wonder what Rush Limbaugh would say right now.

Limbaugh: AAAAAGH! I'M BURNING! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

People with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are all around usβ€”they’re integrated in schools and the workforce. But for many of us, all we know about ASD are the news stories speculating about a diagnosis for a violent mass shooter or a savant with remarkable skills.

We rarely hear directly from people with autism. In today's The Big Picture, we change that. Read more at #TheBigPicture: thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p

I'm waiting for someone to set up an "Underground Railroad" type thing, to get trans people out of states where their lives have been made illegal. I'll register as temporary housing - that's why they invented guest rooms.
