I hate white Supremacy just as much. We got years of death threats and vandalism when we moved into a formerly restricted "white" suburb in 1971. That was just for being brown, I can't begin to understand how bad it is for black people.

High school sound track: Section: Forbidden music. Subsection: Andrew's boom box collection. This song is called My First Christmas As a Woman. It's a punk track, and it may not even appeal to my trans friends. But, I'm putting it here anyway, because it survived the anti-cult library purge.

Amplify #Bidenomics, IRA: Rural Mingo Co, WV, is one of America’s poorest counties. ~1/3 of its residents live below the poverty line, only 1/3 of its pop. is employed & countless lives -upended by opioid addiction. But this community scored a badly needed win this Apr when Adams Fork Energy & CNX Resources unveiled plans to build the nation’s largest clean ammonia PROD facility there.

Stian Jensen, Director of the Private Office of the NATO Secretary General, stated Ukraine should cede territory to Putin in exchange for NATO membership. Giving a prize for genocide is absolutely a recipe for disaster. #FireJensen

I’m still struggling with the #s as someone who owned a chevy geo in the 90s (50 mpg, struggled to go up hills I’ll admit 😂) A honda fit in the 00s (~50 mpg) & the prius c (I’m a small car lover 🚙) that just got totaled (also ~50 mpg). Feels like opportunties to truly improve mpg have existed in the last 30 years. Not dissing the better mileage some sedans & trucks are getting but ….Im also seriously depressed we dont have flying cars yet so I have lots of issues 🤷🏼‍♀️

⚡️🇺🇦The installation of the Ukrainian coat of arms on the Motherland monument will be completed by August 23. The builders have already sewn up the shield with metal, and now they are welding the plates of the shield and trident. The Ministry of Culture says that the work is on schedule. #Ukraine #Press #News #Russia #RussiaUkraineWar #9yrInvasionofUkraine #WantedDeadOrAlive

If you are thinking about buying an electric car, just be aware dealers have marked these up by $10K thereby negating the rebate and you still pay an extra ~$2500. The Capitalists really do want to kill the planet.

you're telling me julius caesar, who has been dead for thousands of years, made this salad?

Hi folks — there’s no issue of The Counteroffensive today. Unfortunately I’ve been hospitalized in Kyiv due to a bad infection.

I’m on the mend. However, it’s unclear whether our insurance will cover this stay.

Don't want to tell anyone how to live their life, but I have learned recently that if you remember to put grounds in the filter the coffee is a lot better.

Looks like Jack Smith obtained Trump’s Twitter data, including “some volume” of his DMs. Elon’s people tried to delay production and wanted to tell Trump about the warrant, but they got smacked down and hit with sanctions. Shows whose side Musk was on, huh?

Thinking about the three spectrums of wellness, which are baked into how we experience the world:

I am broken/ I am whole.
I am at risk/ I am safe.
I am lost/ I am home.

How are you doing?
@actuallyautistic

I still can't stop thinking about the guy who advised people to apply for jobs even if they don't meet the minimum requirements, because he succeeded at it all the time - and then buried in the replies revealed how all these jobs had involved personal introductions to the employer by friends.

So what's the idea behind using the #ActuallyAutistic hashtag?

It feels unwelcoming to me. Like I shouldn't engage here if I'm not autistic enough. I'm second guessing my own experiences less by the day, but from what I've heard almost everyone with late diagnosis have felt gaslit and left out throughout their lives. With all the self doubt that entails, seeing people proclaiming they're *actually* autistic feels like yet another "you don't belong here".

@robrecht @tickles @actuallyautistic now that you mention it, I know an autist who is very argumentative, acts like an asshole and as a result attracts conflict like shit attracts flies. Counterpoint: is he actually masking?

I've always considered him to be no masking or low masking. I guess I'll have to ask.

Hello @actuallyautistic 👋

I've just recently created this account to connect with other autistic individuals and micro blog about my experiences.

I'm Kim, a 37yro guy from Sweden; a burnt out programmer, artist, music lover, science nerd, gamer, dog owner and cancer survivor. I love to draw little comics and trying my darnest to make a video game.

#ActuallyAutistic seems like a wonderful community and I'm looking forward to engaging with you. Feel free to ask me anything!
