For the record, my ASD daughter has a college degree (with honors), is a polyglot, has a great job as an active, highly respected park ranger, is well-traveled, well-read, and lives a full, satisfying, and independent life. RFK Jr has NO business running HHS, where he makes sweeping BS statements.
Chris Van Hollen flying down to El Salvador and refusing to leave until he got in a room with Kilmar Abrego Garcia blows up every other “well what do you expect them to do?” defense for elected Democrats
And to be clear, I know not all ASD people are able to do this, but many, many, many can, which is why Bobby’s sweeping statements are so harmful and patently false. He has ZERO qualifications to be spouting the quackery he continues to spew on this and most health topics.

This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair. No place for self-pity. No need for silence. No room for fear. We speak. We write. We do language. That is how civilizations heal. - Toni Morrison

NaNoWriMo: partnered with vanity presses that prey on authors, had a child grooming scandal, accusations of being a hostile work environment and all volunteers quit or got fired, started heavily promoting AI and called people ableist for being anti-AI
Also NaNoWriMo: No one wants to give us money 😔
RIP, Val, you brilliant, talented man. I'm gutted.

Which is why everyone should have ALREADY unplugged and gotten rid of their Alexa devices! Listen, I used to love my Alexa for a variety of reasons. But there’s no convenience it offers that’s worth the invasion of privacy in this current world. Get rid of ‘em!
Books are a tool against fascism. Keep writing them, keep marketing them, and feel no shame. Creating is an act of rebellion. ❤️

A morning reminder that if the senator you're trying to reach isn't answering the phone, you can FAX many of them FOR FREE from whatever device you're reading this on. Do you know annoying and attention-getting it is to get faxes? faxzero.com/fax_senate.php
No. A world of NO. Read the room. This is NOT how to stop Trump/Musk. Your job is to hold the line and give Trump/Musk/Republicans nothing. Nada. Zip. Only a NO vote is acceptable here. It's irresponsible and weak to give in.
Democrats in the Senate need to understand: We have to see you fight. We have to see you willing to take a risk. Yes, it's fucked if the government shuts down. But it's fucked if it stays open with no way to restrict the bullshit being done. You need to inspire us in the base, so fight, goddamnit.
Senator Schumer needs to resign. He is NOT the leader the Dems and democracy-loving Americans need right now. His capitulation to the Republicans shows not only a lack of courage, but an inability to read the room and actually know what the American people want from our elected officials.
🚨🚨🚨🚨
Not a SINGLE Democratic senator should vote for the Republican spending bill. Doing so would simply further embolden and empower Trump in his effort to destroy our government and the vital services it provides.
STAND YOUR GROUND AND FIGHT — LIKE HOUSE DEMOCRATS DID!!

AI isn't just theft and environmental callousness. It's also fascist because its overall aim is to wrest the power of artistic expression from everyday ppl and place it in the hands of oligarchs. It's anti-truth and anti-morality.
I block it wherever I see it.
