Memories of the guy who explained (after Prop 8 passed) that he *had* been an ally, but the protests closed down streets, tied up traffic, and made his drive home unpleasant. He just couldn't support us after that.
I didn't consider it a huge loss.

Repeat after me:
Being an ally entitles you to exactly nothing.

It does not give you access to our bodies or the spaces those bodies inhabit. It does not give you a say in how we choose to protest or resist our oppression. It does not give you the right to police our actions, our customs, or our language.

If your allyship is conditional on any form of preferential treatment, it's not allyship.

Grief, loss of pet 

This is Charlie.

He has been suffering from a variety of health problems for a few months now, and this morning it seemed clear to me that he's in pain and not going to get better. In a couple of hours we're going to the vet for humane euthanasia. I want to write down a few of my memories from our life together.

I recently discovered the Deutsche Welle (DW) channel on YouTube, and subscribed to it. They provide world news on a more even-handed basis, with good analysis, and without the endless pumping of drama.

This morning I saw a report saying she'd co-authored some pieces for Tucker Carlson. I can't verify, but if she has, I'd guess she jumped at the opportunity.

I didn’t not watch the bullsh!t #CNN giving trump a televised rally filled with only his supporters and allowing him to lie for a solid hour… but I’ve seen some clips.

For anyone who’s seen more of this shitshow than I did, I get the impression #KaitlinCollins was A) thrown to the wolves with this assignment and B) in way over her head and C) very likely was told not to push back much.

Anyone else have a take on it?

Oh, and I will say again: I’m done with CNN for good.

No one approaches me to ask if they can help me.
If I do need an answer, someone is available, answers my question, but does not engage in banter.
The cashier does not ask if I found everything I was looking for (if I hadn't would I be in the checkout line?) just rings me up, tells me the total, takes my money, and I leave.

My dentist has commented that the inside of my cheeks is basically a mosaic of overlapping scars, from me biting them.

Do my #ActuallyAutistic comrades often accidentally bite their tongue (physically, not figuratively)? If so, you aren’t alone.

#AskingAutistics

With the current escalation of violence in Israel & Palestine, my thoughts go out to all of my #ActuallyAutistic comrades in both Gaza and Israel who need to live thru the constant sirens, the overstimulation, the fear of missiles and rockets, the overall dysregulation.

I made you all different colors, genders, and sexual orientations to spice things up. Diversity is key, my dudes.

Ich bin gespannt, was ich hier zu meinen Themen wie Musik, Zeichnen, Datenschutz, IT-Sicherheit und Co beim HerumstΓΆbern finde und was mich hier erwartet.
