It’s already hard to be ace in an allo-normative world. This is just the extreme of erasure (unacceptable), but believe you me, we’re erased every fucking day. We’re policed by allos, queers, even other ace people. Fuck this and fuck every form of erasure…

We either need better people in whitehall or better science journalism… [from the Times] It is not diagnosis that results in 4x the chances of becoming NEET; it is some combination of having ADHD and not getting the required support. Only one of those things can + should be changed.

interesting that conservatives were militantly “we must reward hustle” when the target was affirmative action at elite universities and now, when faced with the success of south asians and other groups, it is “i think we are too meritocratic”

"Black members of the university are shown over and over in many ways that the university is not theirs to belong to without cost. In other words, an unserious commitment to BHM reveals itself not as repair but as a deepening of that message of non-belonging."

And I worry that people who need support will block me. I don’t want to call them out if they had a bad reaction to being blocked. It’s undrrstandable. However, their strategy is highly problematic. I bought in to it and regret blocking them when I could have muted or unfollowed.

Last week sarahandco.bsky.social blocked me. They had posted an ace-phobic comment about a news sriry in which ace people just acquired a new legal recognition in my city. Although I had been following them, I didn’t confront. I simply blocked. Next, they add me to a trans against trans list…

No surprise that all the nominees work at “top-tier” schools and already make a salary an adjunct humanities professor at a community college could live on for four years, more or less, depending on too many structural factors to account. Like if they’re paying rent vs living in their car.

I have an adjacent experience. I was working on a big writing project and injured my non-dominant hand, so couldn’t type. As I was on a deadline I couldn’t take a break. So started writing long form. It was so challenging but opened/deepened the work in new ways. #cyborgpractice

Seems like a good time to re-up this post. It is a list of 26 Dems at the statewide/national level that have made anti-trans statements or voted anti-trans policies. I do not advocate for abstaining from all of the ones on this list, but if the worst offenders who call us “biological men,” I do.

Temple Grandin doesn’t “have” autism. She “is” autistic. The way you phrased this makes it sound like autism is a pathology like a cold or cancer. Autism is normal human variation that’s been historically/medically pathologized. Worth a look if you care to uplift autistic women.
