The emphasis on how autistic kids will "never pay taxes, never hold a job" (which is bullshit) gives the game away. He's a eugenicist who wants you to believe that people with autism can't be productive members of society and are therefore surplus to requirements.

SCRUMBLING??
Screenshot from Wikipedia: “Frenetic random activity periods (FRAPs), also colloquially known as zoomies, scrumbling, midnight crazies, " or mad half-hours, 2 are random bursts of energy occurring in dogs and cats in which they run frenetically, commonly in circles.”

I think the necklace must have caught the sun and acted like a magnifying glass. Nothing against the seller, she’s on Etsy and absolutely stellar and I’m going to her for a replacement- will just have to leave it home in 90 degree weather in the future.

I have a necklace that contains a pinch of Hugo’s cremains. Or had rather. It got so hot in Portland the necklace melted. So apologies to anyone on the 15 bus who may have sat in a dash of cat.

TIL that Kenny Loggins has a trans son and that he is a super awesome and supportive dad.

"I had to check in with my daughter — who was then my daughter, is now my son — to make sure that they were okay with telling the story out loud and embracing that," he told The Canadian Press. "There's been so much negativity, and so much fear spread around people who need to transition that I felt that the other side of the coin needed to be expressed, which was that it's an expression of love for my [son], that to publicly accept his transition was an expression of love that I wanted to do for him."

Not so friendly reminder that complaining about “straight passing relationships” during Pride is harmful to both the B and the T and Pride is for more than JUST same sex attraction. Our Pride is not only who we love, but our ability to also love and be loved as ourselves.

I’m filling out my Advance Directive (because I’m a queer person who can’t have family be my medical proxy) and there’s nothing like a government form asking you to write, “What I value most in my life” to make you take stock of… well, EVERYTHING.

"If we build more schools, people will just fill them with children." "If we build more highways, people will just fill them with economic activity." We must build the highway. We must add more lanes. A child needs its school, and a civilization needs its road.
