She probably should have impressed this upon Kavanaugh before he issued an opinion endorsing what are now known as “Kavanaugh stops.”

Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

Ha! Accurate... (I will also take a slightly sweet vinegar-based coleslaw over any mayo-based one any day...)

Text over a picture of a small bowl of coleslaw: The "devil's lettuce" is actually coleslaw, not weed.

They've been hostile to Black, trans and disabled people from the start. Link's banning is just the latest in some toxic vile worldview behavior. He was the nicest dude, and got expelled simply because the team got their panties in a twist. And they still seem butthurt we don't worship them

A couple recent ones from @drdoylesays.bsky.social. Add ADHD for me on the 2nd.

Black text, green backing:

I promise: you are not "betraying" or "abandoning" someone by refusing to take on responsibility for their emotional regulation.

You're setting a boundary that is compassionate & realistic- for both of you.

Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle | @DrDoyle Says

Black text on a blush pink background: Many trauma survivors struggle with decision paralysis, especially around objects & relationships to keep or not keep.

The freeze & fawn responses can result in houses, & lives, full of stuff that doesn't serve us-& shame that we can't just "suck it up" & cut the cord.

Accurate...

A social media post from Shady Rose:

"It is believed with alarming pervasiveness that autistic and other neurodivergent people "don't understand social cues/social situations". My question to neurotypicals is, do you?

"It seems to me that culturally we're all so acclimated to being disingenuous and mildly manipulative in social settings and calling that normal and acceptable. As a result, many of you are severely disconnected from authentic connections with others.

"Afraid to say "this is how I really feel" or "this is what I really think of this/you", instead you speak and act in cryptic coded language under a veneer of straight up falsehood. Doesn't that get exhausting? We are certainly exhausted by it."

CW: Narcissistic abuse

Too many still hold to the notion that only physical abuse counts as abuse.

I don't know if the caregiver I experienced abuse under truly had NPD, but she definitely had some narc traits growing up. Our relationship is now better now that there is now some distancing.

FB Post from Perneisha Lett at How to leave a Narcissist on narcissistic abuse.

Text: Most people don't believe in narcissistic abuse until they've lived it.

Gaslighting, masks, conditioning-it sounds crazy... until it happens to you.

That's what makes it so dangerous.

...those who were diagnosed late and are still learning about themselves.

...those who can’t access ADHD assessments or support.

...those who mask their struggles to fit in.

...those who were misunderstood as kids.

...those who are still waiting to feel “enough”.

...those who are figuring out what works for their brain.

Do what you can where you can. Rest when you need to do so, but don't stop. This resistance needs all of us ... And these roles may look different than marching on the streets (I appreciate those that do. I don't appreciate the folks who act like marching on the streets is the be all and end all).

I also just want to say that America has a long history of lying about how violent and dangerous Black men are to fit agendas. Jay, Aaron, Paul, et al are pretty directly engaged in white supremacy bullshit.

They just called a pacifist Black man a dangerous predator because they don't like him

I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning.

There’s a protest at Home Depot shortly. We’ll be delivering water and supplies to protesters — I hope you’ll join us in standing with our community.
