We aren’t meant to live under constant threat Our nervous systems weren’t designed for it End stage capitalism and fascism are existential threats to our survival… and the 24 hour news cycle makes it impossible to get a break. It’s ok to unplug. It’s ok to rest. It’s ok to prioritize yourself.
Oh, remember that I have autism memes, all made by me. No AI was used to generate these memes, all text generated by my puny simian brain.
I made a ton of popular autism memes on Twitter, so I should port them over here. I'll probably remove the ones I thought were crap though. Common autistic experience here.

The New “Crime Wave” Panic and the Long Shadow of John Walsh
We are still living in the world that Walsh, and “America’s Most Wanted,” helped build: a paranoid populace that believes crime is everywhere and can only be solved through relentless policing.

it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
