Being disabled is not shameful. It's not something to be horrified by or see as a character flaw. The number of people in the year of our Lord 2026 who act like being disabled is the worst thing in the world sickens me. Maybe if people weren't such assholes to the disabled, life would be better!

Attorney, nonpracticing due to disability. Autistic not as in ~quirky~; autistic as in fuck you. English, français, русский язык, aprendiendo español. We take the Gesta Stephani personally in this house. If you only repost things, you get blocked.
CN: Horrible ableism metro.co.uk/2026/08/02/j... I post this because I know other Americans who aren't aware of what a vile piece of shit Jeremy Clarkson is, and might still watch his content. I knew he was an asshole, but wow. I hope one day he has a chance to experience everything he sneers at.
Jeremy Clarkson wants ‘full thank you letter’ from people claiming benefits
Clarkson compared it to the oodles of gratitude his dogs lavish on him.

My back is on fire. Lidocaine isn't doing shit and my roommate has the heating pad. Let's see if I can do my work without having a small meltdown!
I hate my best friend's mom so deeply it kind of worries me.
My apartment hallway floods when we get a lot of rain. I just woke up and there's water on the ground and it's overwhelmingly difficult not to just go back to sleep. I can't do anything about it except spend an hour bent over with a shop-vac that barely does anything. Global warming, people! 🤬
New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...
I did not know a lot of this, but I'm so very unsurprised. It always comes down to racism in some way. For me, the bar was a struggle. I passed it on my 3rd try, due to not being aware I was autistic & not knowing I could get accommodations. I remember almost nothing of what I studied FOR the bar.
I wrote about the hotass mess that hundreds of recent law grads in Washington are going through for no good reason! ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...
I was waiting so anxiously for Grave Seasons and now I find out it's coming "Fall 2026." After they fucking put out release date trailers and everything. I know shit happens, but when you've already released a fucking release date trailer? I feel lied to. #gaming #marketinglies
When I got my autism dx, I needed help understanding and processing that, so I stayed in the job I hated that gave me the healthcare. At one point, my psychiatrist straight up told me to ask myself if seeing her was worth losing my mind for other reasons, because my job was killing me.
Sorry to be Uncle Marxism but employer-based healthcare is a tool of social control for the ruling class
My room temp and correct take on tipping is that if you make a comfortable living you tip servers always and you tip them well because who the fuck do you think you are
Bluesky has failed me - I just now found out Sam Neill passed away. Usually I read this kind of thing here, but I found out from a friend. I'm sad, especially since it was apparently sudden. What a shame. Especially since he always seemed like a decent guy.
Lindsey Graham suddenly died during the night, allegedly of cardiac arrest. I don't believe in whitewashing the dead, but I also hated him too much to spend time wallowing in the oceans of harm he did - and enabling harm means doing it. I'll just say good fucking riddance and be done with it.
Schrödinger's Diaspora Jew: Simultaneously existentially threatened as a Jewish minority always on the verge of extermination without a Jewish state to keep us safe, and yet also too pampered in our comfortable homes in New York to lecture Israeli Jews facing constant danger on how to keep safe.
If the argument here is "Brad Lander is too safe as a Jew in diaspora to tell Israeli Jews how to keep safe," that sits uncomfortably with the argument that a Jewish state is necessary to keep Jews safe.
And now I was just accused of "misunderstanding solely to argue" because apparently this person can't fathom that their statements might be unclear. Fuck this shit. I'm going to bed.
I got a horrible Karen haircut from a bitch of a woman, it's boiling hot, and the back of my shoulders are still itchy even after changing clothes. I want a goddamn cookie for not bursting into tears until I got home.
SAY HIS NAME Lorenzo Salgado Araujo Please join your neighbors to remember & mourn Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, who lived & worked in the U.S. for 35+ years when ICE murdered him on Tues 7/7. Bring flowers & other signs of commemoration to remember his life, mourn his death, & condemn his murderers ❤️🩹
I'm trying to read STALIN: THE COURT OF THE RED TSAR by Simon Sebag Montefiore. It's hard going because frankly, there are so many parallels it's scary.
Being sarcastic to me and then acting like I was out of line when I call you a dick for it makes you a weapons grade asshole, and yes, this IS a fucking subtweet!
"Non-autistic scientist discovers thing about autism that could have been discovered by simply asking autistic people" is the worst genre of science.
Anyone got recommendations for historical mysteries NOT set in Victorian or interwar London? They're sooo boring. #booksky
So, I'm up at 8:30 for no fucking discernible reason, when my normal sleep cycle is something like 2:30-10:30. Clearly it's time for McDonald's breakfast.
So the sexual assault allegations are enough for you to see what a lying, grifting shitbag Graham Platner is (as they should be, don't get me wrong) ... ... but the fucking totenkopf tattoo - the literal insignia of genocidal forces, the emblem of evil - wasn't. Yeah, fuck all y'all.
youtube.com/shorts/sAmcu... Josh Johnson is speaking truth to power and everybody needs to hear it. The Rwandan genocide started with seeing the Tutsis as cockroaches.

Saw a few new followers. I'm pretty simple: I'm autistic, and if you're: - an Autism Mom (tm), as in the kind that makes their child's autism their own personal cross to bear - MAGA - the type who thinks Jew=Zionist=terrorist Fuck off into the sun. Otherwise, welcome & have a nice day!
My latest: I don’t respect America at 250. The only thing I can think of is how America is still a young, spoiled brat of a nation that no one is able to discipline. Foreign writers have been commenting on the US's developmental problems for centuries. karenattiah.substack.com/p/america-ne...
America Needs to Grow the Fuck Up
Once you understand the moral psychology of America's immaturity, everything about America's 250th birthday makes sense.

This is America in one frame. And the most American person in this photograph isn’t covering her face. She represents a nation still haunted by the hatred it has never fully confronted, while carried forward by steadfast courage. The nation’s unfinished struggle is captured in a single moment.
I've never been a fan of the 4th, or at least not since I was a little kid and the sensory overload hadn't kicked in yet. It feels even more hollow today than it has in years past. Can't imagine why.
Happy Canada Day to our northern neighbors - at least, to the ones who are aware that not every American is a brainwashed fascist. My undergrad degree is from McGill, and I have truly wonderful memories from those years in Montréal. I miss that town every day. Vive le Canada! 🇨🇦
