Family is complex for me. Autistic + ADHD... but shameless.
Raw #SpokenWord. Estrangement, grief & living unapologetically anyway.

What family complexity do you carry shamelessly?

The rank fucking murder of it. From the left to the right. Melt the fucking guns and give those that carry them nothing but sack cloth they may wear into desert or cold, doesn't matter which or where, there to ponder the geometry of their stupid little trigger fingers, the sins they cannot undo.
I've been waiting for this.
Independent autopsy of Renee Good is in. It's strong evidence against Agent Ross, given what it means about the second or third shot through the left-side window.
It's the second and third shots that make the easiest criminal case of a willful killing.

When they demand our silence is exactly when we must be loudest.
2026 will test that - for second amendment rights and for trans existence itself.
We're ready.

Good speech. Juxtapose this against Trump today ranting about insane asylums and almost being a professional baseball player while slurring his words.
The Carney speech is worth reading in full: globalnews.ca/news/1162087...
Read the full transcript of Carney’s speech to World Economic Forum - National | Globalnews.ca
Prime Minister Mark Carney gave a forceful speech in Davos, Switzerland, on the 'new world order' and how middle powers like Canada can benefit by working together.

You're making autism your whole personality thread 🧵
You spend years filtering your reactions, softening your needs, translating yourself so you can pass for others.
Then you stop doing that.
You show up as you actually are.
Suddenly the accusation becomes that you’re putting something on.
