STUCK AT $70.00!! PLEASE HELP!! My partner has EDS, and they’ve been practically bed-bound ever since they weren’t able to pay for their medication. I’m doing this on their behalf for that exact reason. If 10 folks donated just $23.00, we’d be at our goal IMMEDIATELY & my partner can walk!

If you wanna help my partner, please help get them the money they need for proper medicine, so this doesn't keep happening to them. If 10 generous folks donated $23.00, or visa versa, we'd reach our goal. And thank you SO MUCH to the three who've donated!

PLEASE HELP!! My partner has been bed-bound for weeks, unable to afford their meds. You could change that! If NINE FOLKS donated $30.00, or 28 folks donated JUST TEN DOLLARS. We could ease their suffering. It’d mean so much to both of us. #MutualAid #Disability #EDS

My birthday is this weekend, and although I'm clear for next week, it would be great to get ahead for the week after. Can you chip in?

If not, please consider chipping in for other folks in this thread! And #PleaseShare!

I’d add banning Super PACS, and passing legislation that means Congress also doesn’t get paid during gov’t shutdowns.

This is why Dems fear Zohran Mamdani and Graham Platner. Because the status quo is convenient for them, and they’re loathe to change it.

Falco SkyWolf @falcoskywolf.bsky.social · 6h

The biggest RISK with the downfall of the chump is that if the Dems take over again, they'll just spend all their time patting themselves on the back going, "We Win At Politics," without actually UNDOING the damage the chump's regime (and previous ones like Bush and Reagan) has done.

We need a MAJOR overhaul of our political systems. The Constitution is a decent framework, but insufficient at protecting Human rights or preventing autocracy. No more Electoral College. More political parties (that actually have a voice.) Term limits for EVERYONE. And that's just the beginning.

Sort of tragicomic that Brett Kavanaugh is getting (deservedly) skewered for his concurring opinion in the Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo shadow docket order, when the SCOTUS majority stayed the trial court’s 4th Amendment order with *no opinion at all*

This ignorant American relishes in our CEO’s hissy fit over not receiving it, but is anxious about if this is a true ceasefire, or if Trump will automatically tell Nosferatu to completely flatten Gaza out of spite. If Israel even honors the peace deal at all.

And I have yet to see a NT “ally” actually come to our defense. They rebuff the anti-science of fascism, but never call into question why Autism is so demonic, that you’d rather a dead child than an Autistic one.

Not with. A single. Peep.

A cure implies implicitly that we are a disease, or something that needs to be eradicated.

Public perception has been shifting slowly, but the bigots who hate us will be emboldened again to push for us to go back to being small and invisible.

They remove parts of brains, subject people to electroshock therapy, treat autistic people in ways that the international dog trainer's association is unethical and lobby against.

One of the most reliable ways to trigger me and cause emotional dysregulation is just reading the latest research on autism periodically. Heart rate spikes, shoulders tense. Because reading about people like you (often children) treated like lab animals and subjected to torture is frequent.

Getting pretty sick of people asking what caused me. My parents had sex, I was born, no different to the vast majority of people on earth.
They chase a cure because being more accepting requires a level of decency that doesn't exist for so many people it seems. Especially non-autistic researchers.

As someone who loved the direction autism research was starting to head with more autistic researchersand autistic people included. Having a second fucking version of the Wakefield bullshit diverting millions of research dollars to chasing an absolute myth makes me livid to be honest.

You should be concerned about the rate of authors leaving publishing. Especially from marginalized communities. This year I have seen so many authors just pack it up and go. And it's only getting worse.

The younger squirrels are more bold or maybe just more dumb. They will come out when I am there with my camera, and they do not immediately run away. This one is contemplating running.
