Between banning books, non-white people, genders, immigrants, comedians, journalism…
And then pushing AI which just regurgitates new ideas…
America is headed into a deep cultural recession. This place is bleak and getting increasingly boring.

I need you to understand that if you heard a song you liked in the 80s, you couldn’t Shazam it. You couldn’t Google the lyrics. You had to sing it to the guy at Tower Records.

Them: You don't look autistic
Me: My autism doesn't really look like anything. It's mainly just me being anxious about things. Can't eat safe food. Anxious. Someone too close to me. Anxious. Have to do small talk. Anxious.
Them: You don't look anxious
Me: I hide it REALLY well

When you spend your entire life being misunderstood, a pet who loves you for who you are, no matter how well you handle people, is invaluable.
Autistics, and neurodivergents at large, and our pets share a fierce bond.

Over half of Americans don’t make enough to afford a “minimal quality of life”.
Remember that the next time they bang on about making America healthy again.
Folks can’t make ends meet. They need universal healthcare and universal basic income. An end to food deserts. Clean air & water.

I keep my head down and turn out good work and I just barely made rent this month, but a lady calls a kid the n-word at a playground and she raises a half-million dollars in a week. I don't get the world, and I don't like it. We are surrounded by rotten dogshit assholes and they're thriving.
