If they're tying people to train tracks, you *stop the people who are tying people to train tracks.* You don't go, "well, train tracks need people on them" or "people are already tied to the tracks, we can't stop the train."

the answer to the trolley problem is not to pick who to sacrifice, it’s to dismantle the system that led to an unsafe trolley crossing.

if any part of your morality strategy involves picking a group to let die on a hill, throw the entire strategy out. it’s wrong.

Yeah, in ways, the files and the violence are distractions from EACH OTHER so people's focus is divided. They're both important, but a lot of people only focus on one issue at a time, and for some people, sex crimes are more personal, for others, racist crimes are more personal.

I don't think they are doing state invasions as a distraction from the Epstein files but I do think they are speeding things up in order to consolidate more state power before the files are inevitably seen. But having them off a preferred timeline is at least an advantage.

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

Fascists are desperate for violent disruption they can use an excuse for state violence and power grabs.

They have trouble with mockery, goofiness, and fun.

That holds across just about every type of authoritarianism. They like being feared for cruelty. They hate being laughed at and humiliated.

Don't underestimate ridicule. It's a powerful tool for anyone with a conscience in this moment. And it's an underrated political strategy, especially against a group of people so evil but also so deeply incompetent, so pathetically insecure, and so morally heinous.

Hardly any research money went into improving autistic lives.

Participatory research with autistic people as proper co-partners wasn't happening, so Damian and others set about changing this.

Damian's interest is also in experiential research - what it's like to be autistic/
