Been avoiding this but it’s Super Important to have access to knowledge & experience w neurodivergence ASAP. A big source of lifetime torture among people with ADHD roots from inability to contextualize & put into words what we are experiencing both within & from how the outside world responds to us

This is exactly the thing. Trans rights are worth defending because trans people are worth defending and, also, simultaneously, at the same time, the very basic statistical truth is that the overwhelming majority of people harmed by mandated & enforced gender norms are not going to be trans.

the experience of COVID really drove this home for me. It wans't the apocalypse, life went on, but a million people died and there were enormous social costs, some of which continue to this day and then when it was done most people were like "let's never think about that again"

I’m sorry but I absolutely judge you if you send your kids to charter schools instead of MPS. Charters only test better because they get to kick out whatever kids they deem unfit. They’re racist & ableist & classist and worse for children in every way.

underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.
Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... "

I thought it was ridiculous that families were charged $8/person to attend a public high school soccer match so I did something about it. 1. Please come cheer on this team! We have a new (young, awesome, BIPOC) coaching staff and the players are a reflection of our beautiful community in Roseville.

THANK YOU to our boys soccer match sponsors! Their donations mean that match admission is at no-cost to families and fans.

I remain convinced that the most effective response to a politician or a pundit who's pushing transphobia is "I'm not sure why you're obsessed with other people's genitals but it's really creepy"

the problem with this idea is that it's backwards the welfare systems implement all these forms and bureaucracy *specifically* exclude people. the govt will not (honestly) try a "pilot program" for undoing that. if they wanted to reduce administrative load, they'd cut means-testing bullshit

the fascinating thing about Trump's tariff policy is that it shows that he not only doesn't understand taxes/levies, he does not even understand the concept of a transaction. He thinks if you pay 5 bucks for a thing you have been robbed of $5 even if you get the thing. Just the stupidest man alive

To be even more emphatic about this: what Democratic Senators are saying about Graham is rooted in the old decorum that assumed the two parties were operating from different perspectives, but both with the common good in mind. It is impossible to pretend that is true in 2026.
