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 β€œ you can give a speech so why are you hiding in a corner at a Corporate social event?”

@ScottSoCal @nellie_m @jens @Vincarsi @devxvda @Cleopatra @actuallyautistic @joshsusser " . .even when we have explained the performance of all the cognitive and behavioral functions in the vicinity of experienceβ€”perceptual discrimination, categorization, internal access, verbal reportβ€”there may still remain a further unanswered question: Why is the performance of these functions accompanied by experience?

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 candidatesβ€”kind people with integrityβ€”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.

@joshsusser @ScottSoCal @f1337 @actuallyautistic Lol! Yes, that’s what we’re known for, isn’t it? Being so relatable.

I did everything to make buying a car fast, easy, painless, but AAAAAARGH!
Financing arranged before I went in. No haggling on the price, I'll just buy it.
4 events of "Let me go talk to my manager" later, and I'm DONE. Melt down in the manager's office, and they'll either sell me the car NOW or I'm leaving. I fucking hate this.

I love my dog, for so many reasons but today it was connections...

Met a lady with two dogs as she passed my boat. Naturally we chatted about dogs.

Later we met again, more chat about dogs... then her husband's health, and her #ActuallyAutistic teenage daughter and the dog she got to help her cope.

Bingo! Long chat, lots of mutual understanding.

All thanks to my dog and the wonderful healing supportive qualities of dogs! πŸ•

It brings me so much joy when a dog or cat walks up to me to say hello. Seeing, meeting and petting animals is always a highlight of my days.

It's less "finally, someone shares my interests" and more "this seems to interest them, I'll share all I know so we can continue the conversation with the same level of knowledge".

... but then there's usually very little continuing of conversations involved...
