On Trump, autism and tylenol:

A student I was talking to today had it exactly right on this latest White House bullshit claim

“It’s at the perfect intersection of hating disabled people and wanting women to be in pain”

There’s not only no link, the claim is both ableist and misogynist.

Mornin’.

Here’s a stunning #bumblebee queen.

Foraging on a #flower.

She doesn’t wish to be the richest being.
She doesn’t want to be a president.
She doesn’t yearn for unfettered power.
She’s not vindictive or cunning.
She is in no way a threat to other species or her own.
