Therapist to my comedic genius, aged 9: Name an emotion (clearly expecting anger or sadness)

Child: ....introspection.

It’s a real tell when a cat like Musk wants to augment humans by sticking a silicon chip in their brains, but thinks altering humans by using their own hormone balances is unnatural and horrifying.

Half of the homeless are over 50, and nearly half of those first became homeless after they turned 50". Our brutish and greedy society literally uses people up and throws them away in the name of "freedom". We have to do better. We need affordable housing and universal access to health care. #homelessness

Spouse: I have “Karma Chameleon” stuck in my head.

Me: Is it really stuck, or does it come and go?

Spouse: You. Are. An. Asshole.

What would you like to tell the 16 year old #ActuallyAutistic you?

#AskingAutistics @actuallyautistic @actualyautistic

Our neighbors brought us two baby toucans rescued from a fallen log. These little dinosaurs are loud and fascinating creatures! We've had them for a few days now and are starting to discover their rhythms for eating and rest, and are feeling more confident we'll be able to successfully raise them to the point they can fly free.

If there are any #bird experts out there who might have some advice, feel free to share. Tips are appreciated!

What a fun adventure!

On June 28 I will be starting my new 5-week workshop for #ActuallyAutistic professionals entitled, "Exploring the Autistic Self".

We will be working on a lot of serious topics, many of which aren't conducive speaking about here solely on the Fediverse.

I'm an autistic educator working with my fellow autistics since 2008. Thousands of people have undergone this workshop with me, with 150 just this year. I'd love to have you join our growing community.

While there is a modest tuition, I offer up to 75% off to those who it would cause a financial hardship for, no questions asked or explanations needed.

For testimonials from past participants - https://www.theautisticcoach.com/testimonials-autistic-life-coaching

For more about me - https://www.theautisticcoach.com/about-me

I also offer 10-15 FREE discussion circles every month for a variety of demographics on a variety of topics! Check them out here - https://www.theautisticcoach.com/autism-discussion-affirmation-circles

SCP idea: an eldritch ghost of a working class person who drowned on titanic. that person was repeatedly mistreated by their bosses and abused by rich people, and ever since then they make sure that every submarine or boat with wealthy capitalists will drown.

Let’s get this right. Scientists didn’t fail to communicate the risks of #climatechange, they have been warning us for a century. Our policies are failing because after knowing the risks, fossil fuel companies spent billions of dollars blocking meaningful action on #climate.

If you are okay with having Muslim, Jewish and Hindu students sit through a Christian prayer in public school, and not okay with having Christian students sit through a Muslim, Jewish or Hindu prayer, then it’s NOT religious freedom- it’s religious oppression.

Today I learned that the Americans have a measurement ‘mils’, one ‘mil’ which is 1/1,000 of an inch.

Why do you do this to yourselves. Why do you see the face of God and turn away

Say it with me, fam:

EpiPens and insulin should be free.

I say “y’all” instead of “you guys” or “you ladies” because it’s gender neutral.

I need people on the left, every flavor of the left, to understand this. Your passion right now cannot be for voting for whomever is making a stunt third party presidency bid because the passion on the right is to KILL us. Republicans are happily coalescing power with & through white supremacist terrorists who are murdering people regularly and terrorizing people daily, and they are creating policy to enable those killers and terrorists.

As a non-binary person, making unisex jewellery is one of my favourite things. They are androgynous beauty that I feel helps me and supporters celebrate beauty in a genderless form. Although I believe everyone should wear whatever they like, creating in this style feels even more accurate to my own genderlessness some days. Check out more unisex handmade jewellery here, and hope to send them to a loving home of any gender very soon ❤️
