very alarming to see so much disinformation online, as an award-winning journalist who covered the death of Joe Biden, I know just how important it is to get every last fact right

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

My cat always leaves the room when I start playing my guitar and I can't help but take that a little bit personally

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 Teixeira’s attorneys argued he should be released to his father’s custody, but the DOJ says he's a flight risk.

Of course he has a bazooka, 2nd amendment right? Grenades for deer and fishing.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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
