If you know someone who's just now taking n95 and kn95 masks seriously again, here's a couple of reminders:
1) projectn95.org is a searchable database of masks which can be delivered right to your house.
2) 3M reusable n95-p100 respirators are available at hardware stores.

Isn't it great to wake up on a day that Pat Robertson didn't?

That's where I'm at. I've yet to see anything resembling even remotely promising evidence yet though.

Do my #ActuallyAutistic comrades consider themselves to be โ€œspiritualโ€ (whatever that means to you) or people of faith? How does that connect to your autistic self and brain?

The people who donโ€™t wear a mask in a pandemic to protect others but are wearing a mask in a wildfire to protect themselves are showing you who they are.

me: summer!! iโ€™m going to spend all day in the sun and fresh air!

@lapingvino @Grizzlysgrowls @geographile @axnxcamr @addie @actuallyautistic @bookstodon @audhd In trying to understand this comment, I fell down a rabbit hole that ended (because my last go TF to sleep alarm went off) in a last theorem meme. I am going to go to bed pondering thisโ€ฆ

One of the hardest things in my life is the constant and regular realization about how wrong, how racist, how bullshit my first 25 years were and the fact that I'm still finding shit at 40 that I was complicit in.

How to covertly converse with conservatives 

@PatrickoftheG makes a good point about racist jokes, but I have a corresponding tip if you would like to keep your lips clean.

Someone says something racist or off-color you just respond jokingly with "but you can say that anymore, either!"

At this point you are free to rant about any arrangement of 3 letters. It doesn't matter if they are good, bad or even real.

"Yeah, they'll probably report you to the DEI CRT FBI CIA WTF!"

Autistic Burnout? New Truth - What If It Actually Goes Deeper? maybe offensive, I'm not sure 

@actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd

A doctor, an autist, and his wife stroll into a bar. Think dark. Quiet. Ferns. Intense quiet convos in the corners.
Doc quiety bellies up to the bar, says to the barkeep, "Give me a shot of whiskey."
I boom, "Shot of tequila, my friend!"
Wife sighs, "Give me a shot of vodka." Sighs again. "Scratch that. Make it a double."
Bartender goes, "Wow, you guys have some serious thirst going on. Whaddya drinking for?"
Doc nods at me, says, "His health." Shrugs, sips his whiskey, stares off.
I giglgle, "To autistic joy!" But I do the tequila all wrong. Bite the lime first. Scream in surprise. Then drop the shot. Tequila & salt spraying everywhere. This autist starts grabbing napkins, mopping up the mess, apologizing over and over and overโ€ฆ
The wife sighs, one last timeโ€ฆ "We're drinking for our marriage. Go figger."

Ok. I wish this post on autistic burnout, health in my autistic elder era & testosterone started with a punchline. Even a dumb one. But it doesn't.

But I hope it ends with a decent punchline. And a pinch of inspiration. And it may. G-d willing and the creek don't riseโ€ฆ

So last night I got a reminder that I am, in fact, an aging human, when I did something unfortunate to my knee while bringing food from the kitchen to the family room. Still waiting to find out what I did, but now I'm sitting in the waiting room of my local urgent care, one of three people masked, while the four Advil I took this morning wear off.
If hell was a real thing, this would be my version of it; at the mercy of others, with no idea what's coming.
