Antidepressants are so not a big deal. They also enable SO many of our community members to function day-to-day. While the decision to use meds is personal and requires careful evaluation, why not enjoy a cheeky Crazy Ex-Girlfriend song about how common they are: youtu.be/OG6HZMMDEYA?...

Profound autism campaigners have it wrong: Autistic adults who can speak/write are not getting funds meant for 'profoundly autistic' children. We’re usually not getting any of the money for services at all. @annmemmott.bsky.social, at TPGA: thinkingautismguide.com/2026/10/the-... #ProfoundAutism

Autistic adults who can speak/write rarely get any public support funds—and certainly not funds earmarked for "profoundly autistic" children.

Stumbling Block (Blocktober #13)
Six panel comic, three rows of two panels each. Hilde trips on a block. But when she picks it up, the sky blue behind her starts to drain down the hole that was beneath the block, like water down the drain. Hilde puts the block back, but the blue draining out of the fourth panel pours onto her head in the sixth panel.

Pretty much as soon as I become sapient enough to start making some sense of who I was and what the external world might be like probably 3-4ish. Can’t remember much of that though as I’m 30 now and most of those memories have already joined Bing-Bong

For Indigenous Day, I‘ll share this pic I drew of a badger from Yowlumne tribe (part of the Southern Valley Yokuts) just about north of what is now called the Grapevine. Still one of my favorite native inspired pics. #anthroart #oc #art

I enjoy recycling because it's a good thing to do, but once I learned colorful bottle glass and most plastics cannot be successfully recycled into anything more than pummice grit to mix into composites, the practicality fades. I'll leave it to the professionals instead, you are up to the task.

Americans have been taught to fear Marxism for generations. Most have never read Marx. Seriously: the Communist Manifesto is only a few dozen pages. Read the source before accepting the propaganda. I explain why it still matters:

Read the Communist Manifesto
Why every American should spend a few hours reading the revolutionary document they were taught to fear

She is probably the best mayor in the last 30 years! It is maddening how much of an agenda there is that is shown in bias to take her down. Bruce Harrell was barely critiqued by the same people who blamed everyone else.

she also probably has some less good ideas, btw, i've not been following her activity religiously. all politicians are subject to scrutiny. but yeah she's being utterly steamrolled by the press and it's obvious from every angle, and it sucks that she doesn't have the charisma etc to turn it around

listen, i think wilson has a lot of good ideas and not enough backup (from either her colleagues or voters) to implement them the way mamdani has, and part of that is that her presentation of them leaves a lot to be desired. she's just not as deft as a *politician.* but this stuff infuriates me

Likewise a lot of really bad faith criticism comes from complaining that a game doesn't have a long enough movelist, but then watching said person stream the game and they're not displaying any engagement in thinking about what function moves serve and the action economy to guide those decisisons.

The ableist mean girl smackdowns on 'sickfluencers,' are especially nasty given most disabled ppl are under supported: "It’s no wonder disabled women have not received the diagnoses or care they need: Most of the research about their bodies has yet to be conducted." msmagazine.com/2026/09/16/d...

Activists Have Fought for Disability Justice. So-Called 'Sickfluencers' Still Face Medical Sexism.
Disabled women have long fought for disability justice, yet media narratives about “sickfluencers” continue to fuel medical sexism, ableism and suspicion.

Not to wax nostalgic but yeah this is why when faced with a not good vs potentially apocalyptic choice of candidates, you pick the not good one because at least you and everyone else has far more stable ground to push for good candidates when democracy itself isn’t up for demolition

między światami ☀️🌙 between the worlds #art #digitalart #polishart #bird #birds
A digital drawing heavily based on traditional Polish paper cutting (wycinanka) depicting a kestrel in flight, composed of two halves so that it appears double-headed. The area in its chest is a heart-shaped negative space and small symbols of sun and moon are placed in it. A bright four pointed star is placed between the heads. The negative spaces ("cutouts") in the kestrel are filled with blue, light yellow and bright orange colors that look like some sort of fluid. The background is a pink and gold sky with some clouds, resembling a sunrise.
