anytime I see someone using a swearword that they censor themselves online through asterisks, it's always either a boomer or early gen-X, and I think that's fun.

In case it needs restating, autism isn't caused by Tylenol, or vaccines, or woke parents or whatever. It's not a disease, and it doesn't need curing. Eugenicists and fascists love to think of ways to eradicate us because they are unwilling to understand us. But we will outlive them.

I’ve taken up common placing as a research practice. I find it’s helping me by creating a much more tactile approach to the texts I consume. I’m starting to see my research as having a materiality that I am getting my hands dirty with, manipulating it like an artist does with any other material.

sometimes, I love researching contemporary spiritualist/ghost hunting technology and comparing it to historic forms. other times I'm reminded that 98% of this world is grifting.
