Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

If you didn’t know, Alaska has been hit by a massive storm, causing severe flooding. Many Indigenous villages have been completely wiped out, with some houses floating away with PEOPLE INSIDE THEM. Please keep posting to spread the info. They need help.

News Eye @newseye.bsky.social · 19h

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Flooding seen with water up to the crash barriers of local roads

Sheds and debris lie scattered in the storm

A small blue house has been blown onto its roof

A$ shut down in Canada partly after outrage over obtaining 12K DNA samples of children from hospitals, to isolate the Autism gene. They may have removed the word “cure” from their mission statement in 2016, but the actions continue to reflect an org set on eradicating ASD and silencing us.

Autism speaks shut down in Canada in January 2025. Thank God.

Hey, Alaska's been hit by a typhoon and no one is talking about it. Indigenous towns are in need of aid. People are missing and the gov't is still shut down.

If any creators here are in affected areas, please drop links for aid.

Finally, autism has arrived

A happy little puppy jumping out of a leaf pile with maple, oak and birch leaves! A surprised woolly bear caterpillar is also going flying. The puppy has a pumpkin on his head and his paws are against his cheeks in delight and excitement. Around him are the words IT'S FINALLY AUTISM!

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread:

I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong.

So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

We must demand justice for the hundreds of thousands in Gaza’s mass graves or whose broken homes became their tombs. They’ll be finding martyrs under the rubble for years. Whole generations starved and orphaned, traumatized by amputations without anesthesia… a ceasefire doesn’t negate any of that.
