What's helped me is the paradigm shift of best "available." We can't always bring our A game to everything. That's why there's 25 other letters. If doing my "best" is bringing my M game, then that's my best today. Different day, different variables, different best.

#FixedIt

Florida rejects textbooks that educate kids on Holocaust.😳

This is what modern day fascism looks like.

Reminder: the main reason extremists would want to ban teaching about a past atrocity is to make it easier to enable that atrocity in the future. Smh.

NY: White Vet kills mentally ill Black man—GOP makes killer a hero😳

WI: White shooter kills 2 people at BLM rally—GOP makes killer a hero😳

TX: White Vet kills BLM marcher—GOP makes killer a hero😳

DC: Black cop kills white insurrectionist—GOP makes insurrectionist a hero🤔

This is what white supremacy looks like

#Ukraine #zelenskyy

He has everything to fail, independent, atheist, from jew origins, still he become the International symbol of freedom and resistance against oppression.
Now i strongly believe that #Ukraine will never follow any path but the one of a full Democracy.

I notice that the man who killed Jordan Neely is advancing the narrative that he had to protect the subway riders from a person with mental health problems.

He's saying he was justified in killing a man with mental health problems on the subway.

He's saying it's okay to kill people with mental health problems.

I notice that.

I also notice that one of the first exterminations in Germany took place in the psychiatric hospitals.

Let's not forget that, shall we?

#fascism #lynching #JordanNeely

The Republican Party is a criminal enterprise masquerading as a political party. They use mob tactics as effective tools to remove dissent. #RepublicanCorruption #GOPDirtyTricks
Heavy-handed attempts to punish dissent are producing unexpected & unwelcome outcomes for Republicans in power across the country: The GOP’s Failing Politics of Retribution: https://www.thebulwark.com/the-gops-failing-politics-of-retribution/

The proof that we can learn something new every day.

Sorry #Ukraine for being misspelling his name.

I'm a senior with immuno compromised lungs. I always wear N-95 but somehow still, maybe due to a moment of lapse of judgement (???), I got infected June of last year when they said that the variant then is just "like" a flu. Well, almost a year later the said "flu" is still with me and I can't even complete a flight of stairs without having bouts of shortness of breath!

Yeah, the covid pandemic is over!

#CovidIsNotOver

En route to a meeting in #edinburgh today and popped in here on the basis that any cafe that gives away free #coffee and #kittens must be pretty good 😻 #scotland #scottishhumour

Happy Saturday to all 🙋‍♂️💙😎☀️

The world has a short attention span, and America has a potential president that is a Putin puppet alongside of the neoGOP christofascists who are willing to blow up our economy to get their coup leader elected.

We must squash Republicans for Ukraine and for America.

We don't just plan ahead for things like vacation travel.

We plan ahead for walking out the front door.

No worries. Was asking because I thought I might have missed something.
Just read that President Biden is planning a state visit to UK, but no date has been set. Biden is a pretty humble guy. Doubt that he will make any outrageous demands, and I predict that he will not be an international embarrassment.
Volcano of BS! Perfect!

@terminalimpala @dirtyoldtown @btaroli @ScottSoCal @fidalgo @actuallyautistic

That... makes sense when you take other neurotypical people into account.

I experienced situations similar to the elevator thing were people started machinery where a sign clearly said they shouldn't.

Which is also why in many industrial settings, workers have a personal lock they can put on a switch when repairing something. Because just writing a sign means that someone else will try to start the machine anyway.

@dirtyoldtown That is a lesson I learned after I came out the first time. Most of them are so utterly clueless they have no idea how contorted we can be inside. They’ll notice when we misstep a cue but if we’re reeeeallly good at #masking they just have no clue, and are confused even more if we tell them what was really going on. @ScottSoCal @wakame @fidalgo @actuallyautistic

@ScottSoCal oh man yes. Or replaying and reconsidering every part of an interaction after to second guess everything I said in case I need to apologize or just feel awkward about it. 🤣 @dirtyoldtown @wakame @fidalgo @actuallyautistic

@btaroli @ScottSoCal @wakame @fidalgo @actuallyautistic I'm so tired being told I am "verbal for an autistic person." I mean, YEAH, I sound fine to you because I spend every waking hour practicing human interaction to the extent that I'm exhausted after a half day. But I sound like a weirdo to you the moment I am called upon to say something I have not practiced 37x.
