Seriously, my whole like folks were all like “there’s something weird about you” and now that I know what they say it’s “very mild if at all” It sure as hell isn’t mild, I just masked myself into only grumbling a bit about loud noise and staying out of the sun…

To be regarded as “not autistic enough” is to face a double whammy, to be erased twice – first by the invisible disability, then by disbelief. -Peggy Lee www.straitstimes.com/opinion/when... #autism #autistic #neurodiversity

Peggy Flanagan wins Minnesota Senate primary with unapologetic defense of trans rights

The lieutenant governor unseated lesbian U.S. Rep. Angie Craig by nearly 20 points after warning Democrats against retreating from transgender rights.

@heard1.bsky.social blocked me for this relatively tame response. I didn't even call him a transphobe or insult him. He's unwilling to learn and grow. Adjust your opinions accordingly.

Hey Will, some women have penises. If a cis woman worries about the genitals of the person in the next stall, she needs therapy. That is a weird problem to have with another woman who just wants to pee, wash up, and leave. At no point should she be peeking into the stall to see if there's a penis.

The more I ponder what Mary said here, I think it is VERY important for those who don't like this EVEN IF YOU DON'T STREAM and want to send a message to Amazon on where the Twitch community falls in the genAI discussion to go in their settings and turn this off.

Like when #profoundAutism campaigners claim there's a sudden "tsunami" of autistic people with intellectual disability. Actually, Tynnyfer, the number of autistic people with ID increased at the same time and rate that the general, outdated "mental retardation" diagnosis decreased. We have charts!

RFK the Lesser said "something must have happened in the 90's" as autism rates have since 'spiked.' Actually, Robert, the DSM-IV happened in 1994. It added the Asperger's diagnosis. Suddenly, people who hadn't been eligible for an autism diagnosis ... were. This is not a mystery. Or a conspiracy.

PSA for parents: If you connect with parents who fight or hate or want to cure autism, please know they tend to be some of the unhappiest & most dissatisfied people you will ever encounter. No joke. Is that really the community you want for yourself & your family? #autism #parenting #neurodiversity

*I* can though! JK Rowling has denied the existence of the Holocaust and routinely enabled genocidal behavior through her continuous crusade against marginalized communities, and is an active threat to a decent, caring, and overall better society.

MJ 🪣@wrassletrash.bsky.social · 18h ago

To be fair, we *can* call her a hateful transphobic bigot, we just can't accuse her of specific things. Like i can call her a talentless hack who couldn't write a decent story if her life depended on it because that's an opinion and you can't sue for that.

Update on my rescue dumpster plushie; They been given a bath last night, and they’ve been cozying up to a radiator to dry, and is now getting some much needed cuddles. Welcome home, Snuffles!

I hope to see more Black creators get cool opportunities. It's very noticeable the decrease in opportunities Black creators are getting. I just wanna see you all succeed and that goes triple for those marginalized within the Black community.

A lot of punk acts still endeavor to do all ages shows to give the teens somewhere to go and have a good time, it’s a powerful tradition in the scene, as other options have dried out

Coach Finstock@coachfinstock.bsky.social · 16h ago

Sunday night at Shampoo in Philly they'd sometimes host a teen night for ages 16-18 with no adult guests allowed and it was hugely popular and honestly a pretty great idea. They had their regular in-house DJs spin, too, so it was high quality.

"So what, you just wanna give away art grants for stuff like whatever this is?" ESPECIALLY for whatever this is.

Genuinely horrible, disgusting behaviour from the Saber CEO, it just gets worse and worse. I'm sorry for what happened to Ashley and to Stella.

Ashley Cooper@ashleycooper.bsky.social · 23h ago

When I worked on Space Marine 2 I became the target of a mass harassment campaign by the worst corners of the 40K fandom. Saber tried to deal with the problem by asking me to remove that I worked for them from my social media. I refused. Not at all surprised by this behaviour from Karch.
