Autism is: fine, common, normal
The problem is a world where only some brains are valuable/able to succeed.
If we are concerned about Autism as a "problem," there are real tangible things we could be doing to make the world better for everyone instead of pretending we can prevent neurodiversity.

I fucking hate AI art.

It takes away the pure joy I feel when seeing a piece of art work knowing that a human being has talent to create something so beautiful from mind to hand to materials used.

The Sears Tower experiencing a blackout:
The Sears Tower looking insanely creepy during a blackout, including the impression of a scary face topped by a crown of spikes. It looks like a giant humanoid evil robot or a demonic Minecraft creature.

The best ways to prevent Covid transmission is to wear an N95 respirator or better, ventilate the air, ensure those around you test, etc. Vaccines are a crucial health tool that help prevent severe illness and death *once you're infected*. They're like seatbelts. Which are crucial

Ableism teaches us to abandon each other.

Racism will disable you.
Transphobia will disable you.
Long COVID will disable you.
Genocide will disable you.
Climate change will disable you.

Do not obey when told to abandon the vulnerable.

Resistance & communities must be rooted in disability justice.

if you’re an artist who ever thought “what’s the point? The world is Hell and I should do something that matters instead”

even in an ICE detention center people will treat art as sacred, seek it out, and find joy and comfort in it. You aren’t making art, you’re making hope.
On her first day in the facility, Becky asked for a scrap of paper and a pen, and began to draw the inmates on the table next to her. She was immediately inundated with portrait requests. A Mexican woman called Lopez, who had a photo of her children stored on one of the iPads, told Becky she would buy her some paper and colouring pencils from the commissary if Becky drew her kids. She soon became the dorm’s unofficial artist-in-residence, with women huddling around the dirty mirrors to make themselves look presentable before they sat for her. They would decorate their cells with Becky’s drawings, or send them to their families. Lopez declared herself Becky’s manager. “She kept saying, ‘Becky, you need to ask for stuff in exchange. Ask for popcorn.’ And I’d be like, ‘Lopez, I don’t need anything.’ I thought, I’m here briefly, you’re stuck here a long time. I’m not going to take your food away from you.” A three by three grid illustrating in blue pen cartoon portraits of women in an ICE detention center. “Mrs Kailey,” Bana, Lewelyn, Ikram, Asil, ‘Auntie,’ ‘F.Z,’ Kseniia, and “P.A.” Two have light hair, three have glasses, one wears a hijab, one poses, and one holds a drink.

Just got Kona’s ashes back from the vet.

I spent a good twenty minutes hugging her box, outside the parking lot. Didn’t care how cold it was. All the fond and somber memories that just raced through my mind— and nothing else really mattered.

I miss you so much, baby potato.

COVID is a novel virus. It’s only been five years, which is nothing in the span of a brand new disease.

We’re learning more & more each day about the long term consequences of repeat infections.

Mask up for yourself, your communities & especially for all the children who can’t protect themselves

As kids get sicker, media ignores scientific papers pointing to immune damage after COVID. Instead, parents are urged to “watch out” for unusual waves of RSV, flu, pneumonia, & more, while masks, clean air and the pandemic are pointedly never mentioned.

Kids keep getting sicker as evidence for COVID immune damage builds
As the press pushes "immunity debt" past the breaking point of believability, are parents ready to wake up to the illness crisis?

In Japan, cedar pollen is dispersed throughout the country when the temperature warms up due to the effect of planting many cedars in the olden days. As a result, many Japanese people go out wearing masks during this time of year.

May I recommend in these Hell Times that you create some sort of “Cheer Up!” folder in your photos:

Fill it with screenshots of nice things people have said about you or your creations!

Fill it with photos of memes that ALWAYS make you crack up, or photos of family that ALWAYS make you smile.

Ed Yong is such a real one <3 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/m...
You’ve been clear in saying that Covid has not gone away. You ask people to wear masks at your events. But that attitude is not necessarily where the rest of the world is. How do you think about continuing to take precautions and advising others to do so when it feels as if society has moved on? I do it for a bunch of reasons. Firstly, I have learned that I enjoy not being sick. I know that the cost of long Covid is real and substantial, and I don’t want to run that risk lightly. I also know that I have many friends and people I’m close to who are immunocompromised. So for the sake of the people around me, I also don’t want to get sick. When I do events, I wear a mask for those reasons, and because I know that every time I do a talk, while the vast majority of people in the audience have probably moved on, there are going to be other people who haven’t. I think it makes a huge difference to them to have the person at the front of the stage wear a mask. It tells them, It’s not weird. So I do it for that reason, too. In terms of holding this line at a point when a large swath of society has moved on, I have written a lot about the panic-neglect cycle.
