Every time someone talks about “curing” autism, what they’re really saying is:

That autism is a disease
That we are broken
That we shouldn’t exist

It’s not just wrong - it’s dehumanising

We’re not a problem to be solved.
We’re real, valid humans

Why is that so hard to see?

It's been this way for a decade now, but was only reserved with terminally online spaces.

After the lockdown (and the shredding of old social etiquette), ppl begin to use the same communication style from online into the mainstream.

Now we see ppl's political ideologies on full display these days.

I think it's a reference to the Pepe meme, which the Alt right co-opt'd several years ago.

Course, leftist frogs are more docile, and prefer community & solitary while chilling on the lily pads.

Agreed. I still haven't finished Act 2 because I keep getting into moments where the rage doesn't feel fun, and the game puts me into a "can't even be arsed" mood to deal with it.

Yup. I don't think any NHI's want to deal with the absolutely petty reasons that we fight ourselves over.

Especially when we have an extreme willingness to cause massive ecological harm to our homeworld.

Nah. ATL is losing its influence over the state. And the other cities don't have the economies to have the same pull.

GA conservatives are money first, policy second. If you are a politician that loses folks money, you get the boot

GA is still a conservative hellhole, but not like other states are

You have to use a 3rd party site called "Clearsky" and put in your handle to search.

Think I'm close to 300 myself since I care more about animal treatment than cults of personality at this point.

Same. Either the offended party took slight to what I stated, or responded out of complete pettiness.

It's very little in-between on Bluesky, sadly.

it's hard enough to be a (relatively high-functioning) autistic adult already without all of this stuff going on in the federal health administration

I mean, what are we supposed to do in troubled times like this?! Come up with our own political opinions and beliefs?!

Until a someone personally experiences the danger the current administration is causing, they won't fully understand the damage being done to our country.

Yeah, we don't even have Autumn anymore where I live. We get 4 months of "cold" weather, and then it's back to 25 C or hotter temps for the year.

Homeless people are not the enemy.

They can’t “just try harder” their way into housing.

It’s the system that’s failing.

Most of us are one emergency away from being homeless ourselves.

We need affordable housing, universal basic income, healthcare & social supports.

We need a safety net
