Autistic parent of autistic artist, athlete etc. about whom I’ll never stop kvelling. Editor at @thinkingautism.bsky.social. Fan of democratic governance & real science. U should read Steve Silberman’s NeuroTribes. Love gardens & teatime.
Trump says Iran wants to negotiate, but he’s also called on Iranians to rise up and “take over” their government. Which is it? You can’t negotiate with the same regime you’re trying to replace — that’s absurd.
KKKaroline had better not get a job in the prison laundry. She will whitewash everything. If she works in the prison library, she’ll ban all the books. There is no job anywhere for which she is fit.
That Jasmine Crockett situation is making me angrier than it should considering I don’t even live in Texas. Just a constant reminder that “listen to BW” stops when it’s time to be lead by a BW.
BOTH Democratic U.S. Senate candidates should be furious about how this is being handled in Texas.
It benefits one candidate today. But the same chaos that helped them in the primary can absolutely burn them the general.
If you ever want to read a paper for free and can't find it otherwise, email the lead author and politely ask for a copy. You will not be bothering the person. You will in fact make their whole entire day. I have had scientists get so excited I asked they sent me everything they ever published.
Madiba Dennie wins the internet today. I will accept no arguments over this matter! #NY11IsEveryDistrict
I see you telling the truth every day, and it’s beautiful. Chag Purim Sameach.
Not gonna lie, this visual from @bluevoterguide.bsky.social goes hard! Love it!
Let your voice be heard today, Arkansas, North Carolina and Texas voters!
And remember, primaries are where you have a direct say on candidate preference. The general election is a binary choice ❤️

The existence of autistic folks like me or my son doesn’t need preventing. FFS. Democracy and science die in the void left by what was once a credible news source. Read the whole thread, and protect yourself from wallowing through the mountain of dreck WaPo has become.
Diane J. Wright founded @autastic.com, a resource and community hub for 1000s of autistic adults, including spaces specifically for autistic people of color. Check out her advocacy, including her work shaping the stories of autistic PoC in popular media:

"Years ago, we tore up a nuclear peace deal w/Iran.
Months ago, we bombed Iran
& "obliterated" their nuke capabilities.
And now, we might just have to go to war with Iran
bc of their nuke capabilities."
-the ppl who tore up the nuclear peace deal w/Iran
They hate on our Black queens because they can’t handle their greatness.
Just called my senators @schumer.senate.gov and @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social urging them to oppose the appointment of anti-vax influencer Casey Means as US Surgeon General. Please use 5calls.org to do the same. #VaccinesSaveLives
You know about Crockett-Talarico.

One of the biggest news failures after the #BAFTA awards was the failure to seek out lived experiences from people on the topic, instead simply amplifying it. Thankfully @jumaane.bsky.social took to social media with thoughts as a Black man with Tourette Syndrome and corpolalia.

Heads up, folks. You have calls to make!
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is one of the delayed complications of measles and affects up to 1 in 600 unvaccinated children who’ve had measles. It occurs without warning an average of 7 years after infection and can occur decades later. There is no cure and it is almost always fatal.
Being Black & autistic: With Double Consciousness, a Black person has to understand white people, but white ppl don’t have to understand them. With The Double Empathy Problem, autistics have to understand non-autistics, but not vice versa. Gyasi Burks-Abbott:

I never imagined I was autistic until my kid was diagnosed.
Sara, accidentally or on purpose, your style seems fabulous.
Buy my zine. Buy my zine.
You will find it
Super keen.
You’re welcome 😉
I am not exaggerating when I say this. This will kill autistic people, particularly #ActuallyAutistic children.
Phenomenally autistic with rainbow butterflies in her hair a black t shirt & text inside pink highlights that read : White autistic women this is important @phenomenallyautistic Not all autistic experiences are the same. And pretending they are? It's selfish & causes harm.
It’s okay for white autistic women not to be centered in every autism convo. When I center Black autistic women, “we struggle the same” shows up 😒 you don’t. Research/media center whiteness, Black kids are misdiagnosed, diagnosed later, and face racial barriers
As state terror amps up, here's a list of actions you can take now--
a lot of resources
and a list of upcoming virtual trainings on a number of topics:

I know what white Christian people think they’re doing when they say Platner has a bunch of other issues like being a mercenary. That’s true. But people who don’t tolerate Nazis already had all our evidence, his Nazism is enough. Where there’s smoke there’s fire & we assume Nazis are up to no good.
