I feel like we as a society don't talk enough about the overwhelming trauma of capitalism.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

There are 37 donors funding the $300 million build of the new White House ballroom.
Unsurprisingly, Amazon is on that list. But you know who isn’t? Independent bookstores.
And this is why it will *always* be bookstores over billionaires. ✊

No matter how hard fascists try to suppress the truth, they still can't force reality to conform. Queer, trans, and intersex people will still exist. The climate will still change. Diseases being ignored will still persist. Capitalism will still be unsustainable. And their lies will still be lies.

I really wish people would stop talking about autistic people (like me!) as a “risk” instead of a neutral and naturally occurring subset of humanity who get born mostly because other autistic people exist in our bloodline.
It’s really exhausting. We’re human and ✨can hear you.✨
