Yesterday I was thinking about how quick white liberals were to engage with the horrors of ICE detention & how profoundly uninterested they still are in hearing how much of that has existed in the US for ages, and this is largely why. The former does not make them confront their own role in it.

I know this is profoundly not the point but I find myself really stuck on whether or not they believe in the concept of autistic women

There are so many things we were told to get for our autistic kid that ended up just being “thing that helps humans.” Weighted blankets are the shit. People love fidgets. And no one wants to look like a dumbass. Tell people how to do the thing & they’re way more likely to do the thing!

I want that for public transport in every city. I love subways. I don’t love being the asshole who holds up busy ppl bc I can’t figure out what to put on the card or where the card goes on the bus or whatever. Gimme a slow-ass, captioned video tutorial on your city’s public transit & i’m there. 2/2

when an autistic kid is going to do something unfamiliar, one way to help is by making a “social story”: a first-person, step-by-step walkthrough of roughly what will happen so it’s less of a series of surprises. “We will get to the aquarium & wait outside until our tickets are ready,” etc. 1/2

You can buy individual pieces in any color either from the official Lego site (easier, more expensive) or places like BrickLink (cheaper, more time consuming) or in bulk by color on eBay (it's eBay). The part details/numbers are in the instructions (which are free to anyone on the Lego site, btw!)

I’d never heard of the dude before this week so I have no reason to cape for him other than I like it when people make Robert Kraft upset. That said, his drummer’s shirt seems pretty unambiguous to me:
Photo taken from behind of a drummer performing with a band onstage in a crowded stadium. He’s wearing a Palestinian soccer jersey with “HIND RAJAB” where the player’s name would be. The number on the jersey is 5, the age Hind was when she was killed by IDF.

Caption reads “Zach Bryan's drummer, Nate Head (pictured above), joined the country singer in making a pro-Palestinian statement at Bryan's concert at Robert Kraft's Gillette Stadium on Friday night.

It happened! I 100% forgot I ordered this & then it showed up after I worked two 12 hr days and you guys it’s SO fucking cool. I showed it to my dad, who felt so transported home that he immediately began arguing with it (it’s my NYC family’s love language). Go get you one from @lifewinning.com.

my kid came in the living room this afternoon asking “what’s this about joanne having black mold in her house?” which meant i got to tell a whole story culminating in my favorite bluesky post of all time

Push back when you hear people talk as if ICE violence & lawlessness ended when Greg Bovino was defeated in MN. Explain that this is happening; they lost at big & showy so they're doing sneaky & shitty. It's not making the news. Tell people w/ whom you have social capital. Try different things. 3/3

There are organizations that JUST do this (in Boston it's BIJAN, Boston Immigration Justice Accompaniment Network). If you're unable for whatever reason(s) to volunteer, you can donate or organize a fundraiser or contact them and ask how else to help. 2/3

There are ALWAYS things to do besides voting. Always. Depending on where you live, there may be an organized ICE watch/rapid response group. Many of these have working groups that include a court watch or court accompaniment group. Reach out to them & introduce yourself. 1/3

is anyone else singing "lentils tomorrow, how much will I hate them?" to themselves with a weird sort of waltz timing? it's been decades since i saw disney's beauty & the beast but i feel like there was a woman who was really stressed out about eggs, and Brett could be behind her with lentil angst

this is so far from something we can expect to see here & I am trying not to imagine the reactions of our current clown govt & press; I know they'll never read abt the members of DULF's CC & see that many of them had full-time jobs, they did not feel high when they used. they can't imagine it's true

The summary & pic kind of undersell the story here, which is (roughly) a Canadian judge found that prosecuting harm reductionists was unconstitutional, partly bc they were actually the only ones protecting the civil rights of ppl living with the disability of substance abuse disorder. 🖤 (also ACAB)

no doubt. luckily my kid's an autistic teenager in largely safe spaces so at this point they have no problem standing up in the middle of a conversation, saying "nope!", and going to do something else, but i do recognize that this is somewhat of a limited window for them.

i don't know anyone who wants to talk to you about trans youth issues less than my trans youth. i think part of why they have mostly trans friends is bc it's not an interesting discussion topic. it is one of the least interesting things about them, and it's all most people see.

If you change the assumption of intent from "stunning gotcha moment backed up by facts" to "capture 3 seconds of Jack Smith looking speechless, never mind the reason", it makes a lot more sense. The screenshot below (and similar) are on the other site; many people will never learn more than this.

It’s subtly different, but I remember my younger teen telling me about ads (PSAs, probably) they saw in some of their discord servers to the effect of “don’t let AI be your therapist, it can’t even [spell blueberry, etc]” & we were both fans. (That’s not the same as this; just made me think of it.)

I watched starting from S1 on the Taskmaster Roku app, so that’s what I can speak to, and S1-13 are good, I think. Starting in S14, I believe, some episodes are missing captions entirely & when they’re there they’re auto-generated, as you say. The ones after the jump on Hulu now seem to be fine.

this corrosion @roguesecunit.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Fun fact: there’s a Taskmaster app on Roku that carries every episode of every season from every country (e.g. Finland, who knew?). It’s a subscription service but if you ever get sick or need to mega-binge, keep it in mind. NOTE: captions on the UK eps go to shit around S14, and that sucks.

Hey! You! It’s ok to mute words about assault right now. You don’t owe anyone your story, and you need own your strength.
It’s kind of “The More You Know” meme except it’s a low-res cat holding its front paws apart with a crappy rainbow connecting them and hard-to-read-text saying “the more you know” part. I dunno, man. It’s just where I’m at right now.

I don’t think this is true. I think men censor themselves when they perceive there may be a cost to their words, and that’s correlated with power and situation, not the morality of who’s listening.
