everyone should be horrified at the concept of government mandated genital checks on underage girls. it’s tough to imagine a more degrading policy that makes girls more vulnerable to sexual exploitation and assault. and all this from the “protect girls” crowd. shameful.

I didn’t yell “read another book” at any adults I saw in Branded Wizard Wear but I sure thought about it.

People going to be weird about me saying I see using the R-slur as a red flag even among fellow NDs. I know some people don’t see nuance, but I will say, I have never seen it used affectionately or as a friendly term. I’ve only seen it used to imply being disabled -

Being autistic means you get taught that lying is bad and you should be kind, and you internalize that, and then for the rest of your life everyone thinks youre a stupid idiot because you dont lie at the right times

Still traumatized by disabled and LGBTQ+ people existing? Ask your doctor if “chilling the fuck out” is right for you.

‘Avatar: Seven Havens’ debuts with a perfect 100% Certified Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes following its Paramount+ premiere. 🍅 It ties ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ for the highest-rated debut in franchise history.

9 months ago, ICE agent Jonathan Ross murdered Renée Good in broad daylight and called her a "fucking bitch" as he walked away. Renée's family and our community have yet to see justice for this senseless murder. It's unacceptable. We must prosecute and abolish ICE.

The best entry on Petrov is in encyclopedia Brittanica which says, “He is survived by his two children, two grandchildren and the entire human race.”

What's frustrating is there are a lot of things that come easily to me that most neurotypicals struggle with immensely, but if dismiss their inability to do these things the way they dismiss my limitations, they shockingly get really mad about it.

I’m sorry, I thought we all broadly understood that the “social norms” of a job is interview are structured around your potential employer trying to get away with as much hiring discrimination as they are legally allowed

People should not die from measles in the US in 2026. Measles vaccine works. Measles vaccine is safe. Measles vaccines saves lives. And please spare me the "from measles versus with measles" rhetoric. I am over it. Please don't take your medical advice from politicians.
