Breathe, said the wind

How can I breathe at a time like this,
when the air is full of the smoke
of burning tires, burning lives?

Just breathe, the wind insisted.

Easy for you to say, if the weight of
injustice is not wrapped around your throat,
cutting off all air.

I need you to breathe. 

I need you to breathe. 

Don’t tell me to be calm
when there are so many reasons
to be angry, so much cause for despair!

I didn’t say to be calm, said the wind,
I said to breathe.

We’re going to need a lot of air
to make this hurricane together.
-Lynn Unger

Being autistic is being told why didn’t you ask for help.

Because asking required social scripting, shame buffering, tone analysis, and a risk assessment.

Autistic truth makes people uncomfortable because it’s not performative.

We name what’s broken without decorating it.

It’s not rudeness.

It’s clarity.

And clarity is sacred.

If it walks like a duck… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Daughter on her father’s lap: Daddy, the kids at school say all ICE agents are racists. Is that true?

Father: Hmm, let's see, what's an age-appropriate way to explain it to you? ...Well, Sally, some people are...

Older brother playing with toy soldiers on the floor in front of father’s armchair: I heard Mommy say ICE is a fascist fucktangle of racist assholes and sadistic shitweasels.

Cover of the classic children's book Frog And Toad Are Friends.

Drawing of Toad, a brown toad, sitting on a bench, dressed in a green jacket and slacks. He is reading a book to his friend Frog, a green frog dressed in a brown jacket and slacks. They are surrounded by green plants and mushrooms. There is a silver Caldecott Medal in the corner.

Text has been altered from original. It reads
Fiftieth Anniversary
Frog and Toad Are Antifa
by Arnold Lobel

Serious question: does there come a point where everyone admits that Constitutional originalism is just a made-up vibe-based philosophy that gives Republican judges a pretext for ruling however it is that Republicans want them to rule?

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

Eric Michael Garcia @ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 5d

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

Disagree. Platner and Zohran are not simply unheard of generational political talents who happened to emerge at the same time. Our country is full of people like them: smart, decent, normal, likable. Most of politics is structured around keeping them out.

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

Some days I honestly feel like I’m not smart enough to handle the times we’re living through. Like I don’t have the processing power to handle the daily horrors and come out on the other side with a clear actionable plan on what to do. I’m trying but my brain keeps outputting “does not compute”.

Dem leaders are just not up to the job. I understand healthcare is vital, but if we dont have a democracy we won't have to worry about Healthcare. Why are dem leaders not in the streets with protesters???????
