MySpace is coming back?! ♥ ♥ ♥
Is growing up undiagnosed neurodivergent synonymous with feeling like you're always doing something wrong just by existing? I feel like this can't be just me. #LateDiagnosis #AuDHD #Neurodivergent
How tf are they screening *mice* for Autism? 👀🐁🌈♾️
A Single Rapamycin Dose Reversed Adult Autism Traits
Researchers gave adult mice with autism-like traits a single dose of rapamycin. The treatment improved social, sensory, and repetitive behaviors by normalizing brain circuit activity, highlighting fun...

Asking Autistics: What did someone try and insult/punish you for that you didn't/don't understand the reasoning behind? #AskingAutistics #Autistic #AuDHD #Neurodivergent #ActuallyAutistic
Hitting is abuse, full stop. It also teaches that physical and emotional pain is an intrinsic part of love. How are you gonna teach impulse control while displaying none? If you aren't a safe place who/where will be? The kid isn't respecting you, they're surviving you. Stop hitting children.
Women: How old were you the first time that you experienced SA, & what were you taught about autonomy growing up? I was raised Lutheran: I had to wear itchy church clothes & provide physical affection when asked. The abuse started at 9 & continued for years. All my kids know the meaning of "No."
Reminder that the singular "they" has been in use for over 600 years. It isn't "woke", it's plain English. 💁🏼♀️
Happy Non-binary Person's Day! 💛🤍💜🖤 Reminder that non-binary people can present any way they want to. They don't owe us androgyny, or to present in the same way they did the day before. You are not owed your (extremely shallow) concept of gender presentation. Respect pronouns and let people live.
I would like to call an important reminder for an annual celebration today of something that has nourished & sustained people everywhere without discrimination of race, religion, or orientation of any kind- invented by an Italian immigrant in Tijuana, Mexico. Happy 102th birthday to Caesar salad! 🥗
I can't look at images of Venezuela after yesterday's 5.6 earthquake. 🙈 I love living in Northern California in a million ways, (🌉🏳️🌈✊🏼🌊🏞🌄🌲🌳) but that part scares the shit out of me. 😬 #Earthquake #NorCal #MendocinoCounty
Gender is a spectrum, so is being bi, autistic, and so many other things. Trying to police how people view, present, and express themselves is beyond self-righteous, it's diabolical- and it has a body count. Life is not binary, stop trying to force the people just trying to live it to be. 🏳️🌈♾️🌈✨️
We live in a country where some of the best journalists are late night comedians & editorial cartoonists. THANK YOU Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, John Oliver, Jimmy Fallon, Tom Tomorrow, Mike Luckovich & Michael de Adder ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! #LAUGH_DO_NOT_DESPAIR ✊

I will *never* tell my kids, "Well, they're still family..." Blood is not a hall pass for harmful, toxic, or abusive behavior. Access to us is earned. Anyone who harms- or voted for someone whose policies cause harm to- me or mine can fck directly off, disrespectfully. #Boundaries #Parenting
If Trump self-proclaiming he's the "President of Peace" while having attacked or threatened 1 out of 13 countries in existence & detaining over 6k children (inflicting lifelong trauma) doesn't show how glaringly delulu & dangerous he and his followers are, nothing will. #Resist #FuckTrump #FuckICE
Now RFK is trying to link *circumcision* with Autism bc of the Tylenol after? I'm ALL for leaving kids intact- routine cosmetic procedures on baby genitals is barbaric and a huge violation of autonomy- but it doesn't cause Autism, genetics do. That brain worm is whispering some weird shit, man.
Oh we're just turning the White House into an *actual* circus now, okay... 🎪🤡🐘
The Venn Diagram of Trumps and Epstein-affiliated people is a circle. ⭕️ Just release the damn files and get it over with, everything is clear as day to anyone with eyes and two functioning brain cells. #ReleaseTheFiles #EpsteinFiles #DonJr #BettinaAnderson #TrumpsterFire #PresidentPedo

It wasn't Jesus and the 12 Punishers. 💁🏼♀️ #SpareTheRod #Discipline #Parenting #ConsciousParenting #CycleBreaker #ChildPsychology
It's our job as parents to make our children grow up with more kindness, respect, bodily autonomy, (as well as diagnosis and accommodations for us ND folk!) acceptance, inclusiveness, and less trauma than we had, but it's not their job to appreciate that we struggled more. #Parenting #CycleBreaker
You can't call yourself pro-life if you don't vote to support lives of people who already exist. 💁🏼♀️ That's pro-controlling uterus-havers and pro-birth. Voting for someone to exist & then not providing them support in order to do so at every age that follows being born is diabolically hypocritical.
Trump announcing his own private, cash-only "TrumpRx" website with only expensive, brand-name options that excludes use by Medi-Cal and Medicaid clients (and not just by price, we're literally blocked) instead of providing Universal Healthcare is top tier villany. People over (pedos and) profits.
I wish there was a phone setting to block phone calls until the caller sends a message, stating why it needs to be a phone call- and then makes them realize it absofuckinlutely does not. 📵 #NoPhoneCalls #ThisCouldHaveBeenAnEmail #ActuallyAutistic #Neurodivergent #AuDHD #Autism #NoSuddenChanges
Gen Z is using audio from Charlie Kirk's assassination on TikTok for outfit and gender changes. 😂 The kids are alright. 💁🏼♀️ #CharlieKirk #TikTokTrend #GenZ #TransLivesMatter #ProtectTransKids
