The solution to homelessness is not forced institutionalizations. It’s social supports. Healthcare. Housing. Education. Harm reduction. A universal basic income. Anyone can become homeless at any time. It’s not a personal failing. We must fix it together.

Disabled people have been warning of forced institutionalization for years. They want to lock away anyone they see as “less than”. Homeless people are just the first targets. We need affordable housing, healthcare & a basic income. Help people meet their basic needs & homelessness goes down

Homeless people are not the enemy. They can’t “just try harder” their way into housing. It’s the system that’s failing. Most of us are one emergency away from being homeless ourselves. We need affordable housing, universal basic income, healthcare & social supports. We need a safety net

Other than the obvious eugenics, I think one of the reasons acknowledging that neurodivergence is actually a normal part of humanity is that it has led to people questioning everything from ableism to child rearing practices to education and even how society functions as a whole.

It's extremely obvious to me that neurodivergence is why we are able to function as societies at all. And I mean that beyond things like exceptional thinking or hyper fixations leading to breakthroughs. I mean just in the fact that when we care for one another we thrive.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

A reminder to follow journalists, today and every day. If you say you're going to have disability representation in an article on a disability topic, interview a disabled person, not a non-disabled parent. Their perspectives don't count as disability representation.

As the brother of an autistic American, as a person who worked on US scientific integrity policy at the White House, and as human being, I'm boiling at the RFK idiocy. And though I have little to offer beyond surpassing rage and national shame, I did smile at this statement from NYU's Arthur Caplan:

Sept. 22, 2025, 5:46 p.m. ET3 hours ago
Christina Jewett F.D.A. reporter

My inbox is already lighting up. Arthur Caplan, the founding head of the division of medical ethics at N.Y.U. Grossman School of Medicine, wrote: “The announcement on autism was the saddest display of a lack of evidence, rumors, recyling old myths, lousy advice, outright lies and dangerous advice I have ever witnessed by anyone in authority in the world claiming to know anything about science.”
