Culture, tennis and perfume loving, autistic, dance stimming through life. Building a museum bit by bit. There will be typos and whole missed words.

There’s work to do. It’s not the boasty, noisy type of work but the quiet, purposeful work. It’s time.

My dad used to say this, so I have it on a post it note in my office.

"May luck find you working."

I get the sense that lurking just beneath the surface of all these AI boosters is a seething resentment of anyone who does anything creative

Telling people who are against plundering the environment, theft, plagiarism and labor exploitation that they are doing this complaining because they haven't "invested" in using tools based on such exploitation is quite ridiculous isn't it?

Pretty sure that it’s going to worse before it gets better.

allistics: if you can talk to a person who is

-on the phone
-wearing sunglasses
-in another room
-sitting behind you when you're driving
-in a dressing room
-in a bathroom stall
-in a darkened theater
-texting or scrolling
-blind

then you know eyeball contact is NOT essential for communication!

A Black child’s meltdown is seen as aggression 😕
A white child’s meltdown is seen as a cry for help 🙂‍↔️
This double standard costs lives, opportunities, and dignity.
Listen to Black autistic voices.
Believe our experiences ♾️

Hard no too. Gets earlier every year? Or maybe I’m just old and the years feel shorter.

Something I noticed is that people either want to ‘fix’ ‘Pity’ or overlook autistic people entirely

It finally happened. Someone I know personally was detained by ICE while showing up for their schedules TPS check-in. Found myself scrambling to find a legal resource for their family. Luckily I was able to find one here in Chicago. Donate to them if you can.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

while the AI bros and philosophers contemplate rights for hypothetical entities with a *potential* for conscientiousness thus deserving of rights, in reality, giving rights to AI/robots equals to giving even more rights to the developers and vendors of these type of robots

ICE can now deploy a robot capable of letting off smoke grenades and navigating obstacles in its raids.

Quite surreal to hear an emergency political podcast episode about the rights and wrongs of Angela Rayner’s tax affairs and whether she dodged tax sponsored by… Amazon.
