In these cases it is important to remember that emotional suppression makes sensory issues worse. Before you go asking others to accommodate you permanently, you really do need to confront yourself and get it out otherwise you become abusive making people walk on eggshells so you can stay unhealed.

As you may have noticed or experienced personally, autism accommodations can be tricky: "There is so much diversity in autism that […] what might be sensory soothing for one person might be a sensory trigger to another." @drlouisalyman.bsky.social has insights: www.drlouisalyman.ca/blog/what-do...

Talking about champagne for when it happens, put some hash browns in the back of your freezer for the funeral. They'll be out of stock.

We're making funeral potatoes lmao

damn, that’s good 🤌

Someone tell me they would read a book if I wrote it.

it’s been a glorious 32 years since i came out at 17. (though i knew since i was 6 or 7… ten years of hiding my authenticity in the formative years was brutal). be yourself unapologetically (unless you’re a prick) & happy coming out day!

The gay agenda:

We live in a surveillance state which spends an order of magnitude more on policing than any other country, how is the most powerful people in the country still feel unprotected? Why do you think that it?

Low-hanging fruit for reporters and Dem trackers: ask a Republican running for office, "what would you do if you were in a car with your child and men in hoodies charged at you with guns drawn?" Follow up with "do you think it's reasonable for a parent in that situation to use lethal force?"

As Indigenous People’s Day approaches I want to lovingly offer the practice that those of us who are salaried & get holidays off donate at least a portion of that paid day of day’s wages to the communities & causes we’re meant to be centering on i.e. Indigenous People’s Day and Juneteenth.

I should get to throw grapes at your car if you are texting and driving.

What Derek Chauvin did to George Floyd was a public extrajudicial execution. Keep that in mind when you say we haven't had a public execution since 1936. We have, actually. Many times. They're called police murders.

Endangered orcas will likely face an ocean noisy enough for the foreseeable future to cause their extinction, as new federal targets risk locking in harmful noise levels, advocates warn.

“Austerity creates corporate universities,” @tressiemcphd.bsky.social said. “Corporate universities are not healthy educational organizations, and unhealthy educational organizations cannot inculcate or defend academic freedom.” Whew. That’s it right there. dailytarheel.com/484871/unive...

LUSID Residencies is a new Indigenous & survivor led organization that takes children who experience sexual abuse on extended term healing adventures with service dogs and people who have done the hard work to heal. Lucidcares.org

Hurt people hurt people. Healing people do it more, then less if they stick with it. Healed people hurt less people. Anything less is a lie.

Soldiers positioned at voting locations is not legal behavior. These are Mississippi National Guard troops at a DC ballot dropbox yesterday. We demand the governors of Mississippi, Florida, and Georgia get your soldiers OUT NOW.

Being able to host fundraising dinners would mean resources that can actually help sexually abused children!

My wife has spent over a year trying to get this project off the ground to help children heal from sexual abuse and it's been ridiculously difficult to get any support. Meeting this small goal would mean having a board of 5 survivors for the first time!

Y'all are so lucky my friends love me more than the community deserves me.

Missed it by $10

At $65/$125 If we don't meet it in the next 90 minutes, the raised money will just go to shipping jars and I will just go have a nice holiday weekend visiting friends in the city. I have bags to pack. It's important enough to fund or not. I'm done waiting because it hurts my body.

$115/$125

It's fine. This round isn't happening. Guess we'll try again next month so all the children will keep suffering.
