41/he, henway. IT worker. Pro-helping people, which is somehow a political position? I miss sprite comics and still play with sprites sometimes. I was @trianglendrusi on the bird site.

a nine-panel comic depicting a conveyor belt; a nozzle dispenses gloop onto it; a machine shakes hair onto the gloop; robotic arms place ears into the hairy gloop; a dropper dispenses two eyes onto the gloop; a stamping machine descends on the gloop; the gloop is not in the shape of a steaming cat loaf; the loaf is electrocuted by two zappy type deals, and sprouts legs and a tail; a cat stands on the coveyor belt, saying "A."

When you say only the “genuinely disabled” should receive support, you’re aiding fascism.

When you say people are scamming the system, you’re aiding fascism.

Many disabilities are invisible and it’s hard to get support.

People aren’t scamming. That’s “useless eater” rhetoric designed to divide.

It sometimes freaks me out when I think about the fact that the universe existed for billions of years before I was even born. So much time of non existence… so much non existence to come. My life truly is just a strange extremely brief moment where the universe pretends to be me.

Some meme about drawing circles I have added spheal to because it's a circle
1: Just make it exist first (badly drawn blue circle)
2: You can make it into a spheal later (pokemon rumble spheal perfectly inside a circle)

I have started dating a man who is very nice but does not share my politics. Any advice?
"You just have to get the fuck out of there. What are you thinking? He must be incredibly attractive-looking. I mean, what is it? Is he tall? Does he remind you of your father? There's only two kinds of politics these days, and you can't breathe the same air as the other kind."

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

Second "No Kings Day" protests likely the largest single-day political demonstration since 1970, with 4.2-7.6 million participants

Here are the initial results from our crowdsourced crowd-counting estimates

With alt text, and it is beautiful ☺️

To the Editor:

I am one of these so-called profoundly autistic people this article describes. I cannot utter meaningful speech, and as a result, I was branded for years as someone with an intellectual disability and an I.Q. of 40. All this time, however, I understood everything that was going on around me. I just could not show it to others because of my deranged relationship with my own body.

I am concerned about the creation of a separate category, called profound autism, for those of us with the most severe disabilities. There are real differences between the sort of autism that I have and so-called Asperger's syndrome. But it does not help us at all to impose a hierarchy of lower and higher functioning. We need to figure out how to tap into the skills and insights of those of us who cannot talk, who make up anywhere from 25 percent to 40 percent of the autistic community, depending on the estimate.

For me, the way out of this dilemma was learning to communicate by typing. I suddenly went from being seen as intellectually impaired to taking college classes. I was never low-functioning, and neither are my autistic brothers and sisters without the ability to speak. I was just misjudged and ignored, and I fear that my fate will be the fate of many others termed low functioning in this new schema.

The phrase "trans activist" is goofy because like 95% of the time it's used it refers to a trans person simply existing.

Media, pointing at a woman buying a coffee: behold, a trans activist.

Woman: buying coffee is not activism stop being so fucking weird

Media: trans activist criticizes media

The Trump shit video is basically this, but I will reiterate that if a Dem is critical of conservative voters it’s a generational scandal and when Republican pols literally post themselves shitting on their opposition virtually the entire elite politics and media class treats it as fine and normal

When someone uses this emoji 🤣 they are more mad than they have ever been in their entire life

(Also it's entirely possible some listed accounts are not directly part of the coordinated manipulation op, but the distinction between "run by the op controller" and "volunteer behaving like the platform manipulation op accounts of their own volition" is kinda academic.)

I haven't had the capacity to keep up with moderation lists for a bit, but this one is really obvious, so I'm stealing some energy from Future Me: a list for the extremely obvious wave of inauthentic accounts following today's newly-created US gov accounts

I now get to ask passing kids what their favorite dinosaurs are as a way to distract them for adults who are stressed and trying to wrangle them, and lemme tell you,

They all have an answer.

Growing up sucks. People aren't nearly as eager to know what my favorite dinosaur is. It's a fucking Gorgosaurus. You don't care.
