"We have been fighting to live as sick, autistic BIPOC survivors since we were born.
We know how to fight. We are not going back.
We know that destroying the fascism that trans bans embody requires a militant anti-ableist analysis.
It requires us to understand that ableism underpins all attacks on bodily autonomy."

There's a pizza place near me - Italian-style pizza, and they have one called a Bianca that I really love.
Or beef ribs. No sauce, just dry-rub, and wood grilled. Any day is a good day for ribs. With a baked potato and steamed vegetables.
Imagine convincing yourself that children being taught about their rights, about the True History of the USA, and about not hating others for being different, is somehow a greater threat to their safety, well-being than being traumatized by active shooter drills every month, or being slaughtered by assault rifles while they sit in their classrooms. #RepublicanPriorities
That guy? He leaked dozens of Classified documents to his gun buddies on Discord?
Then we discovered he had released many documents, more documents, to a much larger Discord group, 600 people, aet another time.
Ok?
Now we find;
The FBI Found a Bazooka in Alleged Pentagon Leaker's Home
Jack Teixeiraβs attorneys argued he should be released to his fatherβs custody, but the DOJ says he's a flight risk.
Of course he has a bazooka, 2nd amendment right? Grenades for deer and fishing.

You'll get my bazooka when you pry it from...
Wait. I don't have a bazooka. Never mind. Carry on.
Twitter is dying, but my advocacy work helping trans people raise money via fundraisers depends on my five years of work I've spent writing on Twitter, so I need help.
If you're a trans person who needs help raising money for any reason, reply to this toot with your fundraiser. I'll reach out.
If you're a cis person and you can, please boost this post so your trans followers can see it.

"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 Iβm 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.

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
