„We live in a culture where it is far more dangerous to say what a man did to you than for the man to actually do the thing to you.“
"So now, Americans want to know who did what to whom and when – poring over the photographs like the Zapruder film of a new generation. But I know that the victims have already told you the truth. The only conspiracy in America that remains is silence." @lyz.bsky.social bringing the truth home.

Super interesting reporting on Palantir‘s efforts to be used in Swiss governmental services and the military. They decided against it, because they worried Palantir was giving information to CIA and NSA and feared a loss of national sovereignty.

Autistic humans don’t argue because we want to win.
We argue because something landed on an old wound.
If someone reacts strongly to something you said, it often has nothing to do with your words and everything to do with the history those words fell into.

Whenever I meet another AuDHD person there’s an instant recognition. We know everything we need to know about each other in moments. Almost a shorthand to conversation. Maybe it’s similar to meeting others from the same cultural background? Wouldn’t know. This is deeper. Because we’re deep people.

Autistic Burnout isn’t a crash.
It’s a correction.
Your body stops performing a life that was never built for you.
It’s not decline - it’s refusal to continue on in an unsustainable way.

This is absolutely sickening
A good moment to revisit what happened when writer Leland Nally reached out to everyone in Jeffrey Epstein's little black book.
“He would interrupt the conversation and change it and say things like, ‘What does that got to do with pussy?!’”
“Jeffrey Epstein was my best pal for decades."
