Being neurodivergent means you over-explain EVERYTHING in hopes of clear communication, then get anxious that your over-explanation was irritating and actually made things more confusing 🫤

Driving didn’t “naturally” become inevitable. We designed a society that make driving inevitable in most places. We can design something different

I thought about this ever since they did the Mewtwo raids. It's OUR Mew, let us nickname OUR Mew. There's literally no reason we shouldn't be allowed to nickname OUR Mew especially if it has OUR OT.

An amendment to a previous post: next president should jackhammer the shit out of it *and* replace it with native plants.

White House Rose Garden before and after. The left photo shows grass and flowers. The second shows how the grass and flowers have been replaced with concrete.

They even had the audacity to use the god awful tiny crunchy sprinkles along with the standard sprinkles. They couldn't even be bothered to mix it in judging by the photo. They just dumped sprinkles on top of a shake and called it gay.
