How do my #ActuallyAutistic comrades organize their libraries?

@autism101 @actuallyautistic Having been forced-socialized in childhood, I repressed the anxiety, overlooked it, but it was stil a pit in my stomach. Every day. I could never escape it. I could only pretend to be calm. And that calmness is totally misleading. I'm calm until I cannot take any more and then I lose control. It's just awful. Although I know that forced-socialization helped me fit in better, it's inhumane & cruel to do that to a child with depression & anxiety. /2<end>

Want one? Come and get them! Multiple colors available 🙏🏼💙

Honestly I’m only on Mastodon because it seems like irc circa 1997 in here.

I just read that Tina Turner died. What an amazing person. She was the same age as my mom. I just saw mom last night, but I kind of want to go to her house and give her another hug tonight.

Re-upping my #Introduction post since I just migrated to hoosier.social!

I'm Kit!

I work in political advocacy - I'm a strategist and lobbyist for the ACLU of Indiana.

I'm currently leading the fight against anti-LGBTQ censorship, and to protect trans youth in #Indiana from a record breaking number of attack bills ... so I am #tired.

I'm also a folksinger and a songwriter.

She/hers pronouns please!

Tina Turner, the survivor, was a wonderful reminder to all of us women: Never forget to stand up for yourself, your rights and your freedom. Be brave! You deserve the world.

In that way, Tina Turner will never die.

It's been one year since the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in #Uvalde. The people of that town are still seeking justice.

From the archives: A town's tragedy awakens memories of a history of civil rights #activism in the southwest #Texas town in @gusbova's investigation.

Fastnet #Lighthouse - Known as the teardrop of #Ireland apparently because it was the last thing seen by immigrants leaving by boat. Prints here: https://mark-tisdale.pixels.com/featured/fastnet-rock-irish-lighthouse-mark-tisdale.html?product=art-print

Hey, I love you
#thinkingcap

My wife made this Willy Wonka boat for a work contest with her coworkers.
It's made from Amazon boxes and construction paper.
I'm blown away.

@Npars01 @ScottSoCal @jwcph @MugsysRapSheet @SrRochardBunson @AbandonedAmerica Late-stage capitalism becomes like the last hour of a game of Monopoly, with one person cackling and collecting rents while everyone else screams in important fury until finally some hero (usually a young person) just overturns the board and scatters the pieces.

Or it's exactly as FDR said: it's not enough for everyone to get a Square (ie, fair) Deal, as his uncle Teddy wanted. At some point one person has all the good cards, and it's time to reshuffle the deck and have a New Deal to allow everyone to start from scratch.

That's what revolutions are.

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic @actuallyautistics I don't t know. -Coffee.
And If the brainfog doesn't disappear.... another coffee. Then I ask myself what the hell I dreamt last night.
Often, when I wake up in a weird mood, it was a weird dream, which caused that.
Happens that I dream very realistic stories. Then I have to bring order to that chaos. What's real and what is dream fiction.... - it's complicated. I need more coffee...

What is the relationship of my #ActuallyAutistic comrades and their favorite objects? What is it?

Mine is a beard trimmer that I bought in 2007 which finally gave way to its destiny yesterday. I realized that its life and journey often reflected my own.

I wrote about the experience and my thoughts on my blog.

How can #ActuallyAutistic people transform grief & pain to empowerment & fulfillment?

@actuallyautistic @actuallyautistics

White supremacist caught at the White House.

Assault with a dangerous weapon
Reckless operation of a motor vehicle
The threat to kill, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm on a President, Vice President, or family

Many of you, even here, take issue when I call these people domestic terrorists

Missing the forest for the trees and getting upset over semantics

Let me make myself clear. White supremacists are domestic terrorists

If you see it otherwise then you’re part of the problem
