Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

It's ridiculous. Especially since this is very hard on the body, and of course we have no healthcare access to speak of.

With his finger on the pulse of the US zeitgeist, Presidential Wannabe Gavin Newsom wades into the fight against rape on the side of ....the rapists. I cannot explain to you how hard I will NOT VOTE for this man. If you put him on the ballot, you will lose

When we fight for autistic and disabled people's legitimate (yet embattled) rights to live in their communities, remember that we must ALSO fight for disabled people's caregivers and direct service professionals have fair pay and sufficient supports, too. Otherwise all parties will be disadvantaged.

We need more stories about parents trying to understand what their autistic kids need, so things become easier for their kids as well as for themselves. Link below. thinkingautismguide.com/2018/03/the-...

The Toxicity of "Autism Parent" Memoirs
We need more people to stand up and tell the world that memoirs exploiting your autistic child for "honesty" and profit are unacceptable.

Meet my newest fabric art creation: Gussss Bonecrackle the Semi-Cursed Neolithic Statue. I designed and hand-sewed him. Gussss spends much of his time inflicting mildly inconvenient curses on jerks. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com
Here's a lovely photo of Gussss. I have to be careful adding the correct amount of s's in his name because he's not happy when I get that wrong. He's a fabric art statue of sorts, with two wide set black, oblong eyes, and an open black mouth with five gray teeth. He is a gray head, sort of skeletal looking. There's a beautiful galaxy print fabric in the background.Here's another lovely photo of Gusss where he's resting on my palm. Why does he seem upset at me right now? Oh no, I didn't add the correct amount of

This is always how it goes. The accused are allowed to ruthlessly and relentlessly smear the victims while engaging in a supposedly fair and just legal process that retraumatizes and creates fresh trauma for victims who are already supposed life altering, sometimes permanent consequences of rape

2026 was the hottest summer on record since records began in 1895. Shockingly, Republicans are trying to stop ALL federal heat safety protection regs-NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. HR6213 prohibits OSHA from creating or enforcing ANY national heat safety standard. Let's stop this! 1/
