One of my gripes with autistic content creators is when they willingly choose not to be assessed for Autism and encourage their audience to do the same. It's not necessarily a huge issue but it is an issue.
🧵 there's a certain type of Autistic white male adult who likes to criticize "so-called activists & advocates" for turning "his" autism into content for clout rather than "actual advocacy"
they complain about likes & soundbites
endorsing that those who are "popular" are inherently less credible

Bluesky also had enough reach to kick off the Tesla Takedown & get those millions out for No Kings. So what happens here radiates out & means something without us having to duke it out with the right as our company here.
"Bluesky is an echo chamber."
"Bluesky doesn't have enough reach"
"Liberals must return to X to challenge the far right"
I'm not a tech bro or a journalist. Your priorities are not my priorities. Stop telling me I need to do anything other than chat about comics & telly with people who seem nice.

Right! People are not machines. Even if we were, even machines will act up if they're always ON.
We need a 4-day, 32-hour work week with livable wages.
There is no reason that people need to be working this much.
People need time off to rest and spend with family and friends.

I don’t understand the backlash to the idea of Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett running for Senate.
I do know that I haven’t seen much of the critique being rooted in policy.
So I’m curious, why is the backlash so visceral? 🤔

The saddest aspect is that many of those now targeted by the administration for those camps voted for the GOP brand and in particular MAGA asshole trump.

White people will bleat about the 25% of Black people who voted for Trump, because confronting and gathering their skinfolk, as well as holding themselves accountable for their apathy/poor decisions, is uncomfortable.
People can screech "but 25% of Black people!" all they like, but at the end of the day, this climate was created by WHITE voters. And right on cue, white people are demanding everyone "come together" to clean up their mess. Can't wait to see how they screw things up again in 2026 and 2028

That why you cannot be broadbrushing Christianity as the colonizer's evil, even if it spread through colonialism. You can't take away the agency of Black Christians experiencing authentic spirituality using Christian modes like they're all brainwashed & colonized. That's infantilizing of us.
the Black church is what it is--and completely separate from ✌🏾standard✌🏾 christianity--because of african traditional and diasporic spirituality
So many Black Christians practice a brand of Christianity that is flavored w/ indigenous W African practices. So many things we attribute to Christianity is not Christianity.
Typically this is the "soul & rhythm" that sets our churches apart but it's woven all throughout as our ancestors adapted.

Is this one of those "yes, but..."/whataboutism posts?
En masse, no. Wouldn’t think there would be gays in Trump’s camp either, but they are not only voting for him but actively working for him (Bessett); how about Jews? How could a Jew actively support arrest confine and deport to even worse conditions- Stephen Miller comes to mind.

I'm always excited for underground artists but I worry if or when they reach mainstream audiences. Sum'n bout most of them shifts.
Her best song is "Dive' from her last album. I'm so mad the shallow-ass American entertainment ecosphere didn't pick up on it up two years ago. SMH! Of course, I'm not surprised... not in this country...
Never mind, true soulheads of all ages are here for her now. Hope to see her in a small venue.

Sick of these hypothetical antiracists. They get down with it on paper, but any chance to interface with a real Black person they blow it & their whiteness shows.
White people are all, Trump's white supremacy is making us sad & making all of us look bad. Isn't it terrible? We must put a stop to this. But since it doesn't impact us we'll refuse to interrogate our whiteness & purvey white supremacy as it benefits us. But isn't it such a shame about it?

They have this myth. In the beginning America was a pure white land where whites were safe to be superior. How did these other subhumans get here? Oh wait, the land was already inhabited when we came! We abducted by the millions from another continent! Our empire devastated their survival at home!

It's white supremacist capitalist scarcity mindset that led us to STILL (ugh) be needing to talk about what if abled people fake it. There's enough help & support to go around. It's not going to run out. When you reach that point you add capacity. There's not actual the need to gatekeep services.

I draw boundaries & make them clear. And people don't like that. But it doesn't mean I'm not generally genial & friendly. People assume they can have a kind of access to you because you're out here on the internet, but I've never hidden that I'm human, I have vulnerabilities, I have limits.
