The best time to start masking was in 2020. The best time to resume is right now.

Excited to start Melanie Yergau’s Authoring Autism: on rhetoric and neurological queerness (Duke 2018

If you're in the Boston area on Wednesday (9/2), I'll be at Pandemonium Books to chat with the visionary Anand Ghandi about MAYA, a science fictional universe of narrative warfare, bio-web media, and South Asian mythic roots. Nothing else is liek it. Come! pandemoniumbooks.com/products/aut...

“You’re not autistic, you just want an excuse for being an asshole” ah, so you admit that you think that autistic traits are undesirable but you feel that you shouldn’t criticize them for moral reasons

When severe drought hit Bolivia, a youth-led effort to restore traditional Indigenous "paúros" water systems saved their community. Now expanded into an ecological corridor, the project highlights how Indigenous-led solutions build vital climate resilience. @anastasia-austin.bsky.social reports.

If you can find common ground with Jared kusher, but not zohran mamdani, you shouldn't be in democratic leadership

“Representative Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, met privately in recent weeks with Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and top outside adviser, and discussed potential areas of common ground, according to five people with knowledge of the meeting.” BRUH.

"The desire to know and understand oneself is not novel, but this collective urge to.. describe the autistic experience en masse feels relatively new. When the power shifts to a community owning the language, there is profound discomfort in medical spaces and beyond." www.nsun.org.uk/uta-frith-co...

Uta Frith confirms my longstanding grudge against psychology: there’s a problem with power and permission

Not amount of vindication can bring this Father, Son, Family man back. In my opinion: The UK media killed a man for Bloodsports, for ultimately no other perceivable reason, than he was black and autistic.

Two Black mayors took cities that the country loves to write off and made them measurably safer. That’s not a fluke. That’s a blueprint. Chicago and Baltimore just posted numbers that should be front-page news. They’re not. We need to talk about why. 🧵 www.theroot.com/opinion-blac...

Disabled people are forced to live in legislated poverty. Qualifying for benefits is a dehumanizing and lengthy process designed to make you quit. You can’t have assets. You can’t marry without losing benefits. Next they plan to cut SSI payments to disabled adults whose families receive SNAP

I’m at city hall because Seattle City Council is voting on a budget appropriation to fund local orgs helping trans people resettling here and the public comment so far is unanimously in favor, which is cool

When you have finally unpacked the dialectic and accepted that a coward is someone who moves toward cows, and nothing more, heretofore unknown things become possible. #autisticwisdom

I will continue to add unnecessary context to my sentences—including this one—because, as an autistic person, I really like to add context to sentences that I write no matter how long it makes them; I really just think it's important information for you, the reader, to know, so I continue to add it

I’m reviewing all doctors’ records as soon as they’re posted in the patient portal. Then I’m submitting an appointment amendment to the portal as well as faxing it to my insurance company. The hallucinations are extraordinary: most egregious are saying I denied the symptoms I was there for #fuckai

If you give permission for a doctor to use AI transcription for an appointment, carefully read it after the appointment. I just read a transcript with 72 errors in it that has been shared with insurance and is being used to plan my healthcare. I am FUCKING livid.
