saying that people in the carbon-neutral future are going to have to be poor because they'll consume less of what we consume now is like saying my family must be poor now because we consume so little whale oil

Florida MAGA Gov Desantis is signing HB 7 to "ban teachers from making students feel guilt or shame about their race because of historical events."

I've said this before.

Some white Americans were abolitionists, and many were enslavers. If learning about America's history of racism makes you feel guilty, then you need to explain why you associate more with enslaver guilt than with abolitionist pride.

Might just be that you're telling on yourself.

What do my #ActuallyAutistic comrades do when they wake up already having a bad day?

@ScottSoCal @Dingsextrem @AutisticAdam @actuallyautistic I have definitely gotten something similar to this for being an atheist! And bisexual. And chronically ill. 😵‍💫 It still sounds impossibly ignorant and weird.

@AutisticAdam @actuallyautistic "i am a man!" - "Oh, you don't seem like a man, you come across well"
"I'm an academic" - "You don't seem like an academic, you come across well"
"I'm a good cook!" - "You don't seem like a good cook, you come across well"
...

I owe you all the deepest and sincerest apology. It has been brought to my attention that my facts are enabling fascism and destroying democracy. I am especially sorry for the harmful facts stating that:

-Every month is National Potato Month.
-George W. Bush has a Foo Fighters tattoo on his back.
-Optimus Prime is the only heterosexual Transformer.
-The Lord of the Rings was filmed in New York City.
-Cher’s full name is Chernobyl.

I pray that you can all find it in your hearts to forgive me.

Did any of my #ActuallyAutistic comrades grow up misunderstood, bullied, and rejected in an insular religious community?

I’ve been there. Many of us here have been too. You’re not alone.

“Can I have one?”
“Only if you do the thing.”
“Do I have to?”
“Yes, and you have to do the voice.”

Took me over a full minute to “get” this.

With pride month coming up, I wanted to ask all my queer ally friends, what are y'all actively doing to push back against hate?

Putin has said repeatedly that he is fighting NATO expansion but in reality his delusions of grandeur have brought about that expansion. NATO has never been a threat to Russia, all Russia had to do was join the free world. #StandWithUkraine

@AutisticAdam @actuallyautistic Some autistic people can cope with public speaking but cannot cope in social situations. Hence being told “ you can give a speech so why are you hiding in a corner at a Corporate social event?”

Recently I posted that some libraries in southern Oregon were under attack. Racist, bigoted fascists were trying to infiltrate their Board so they could ban books.

Well, the voters have spoken. Our candidates—kind people with integrity—won the election. They won!

Small elections are huge. They mean so very much. Just wanted to share, because these victories have been few and far between.
