It’s really hard to find support for late-diagnosed autistic adults. It is nearly all for kids.
I asked my insurance company about the “autism coach” described on their website. The “coach” admitted that it had not occurred to her, in her 20 years in the field, that autistic adults exist.

80s TV taught me that one person determined person can win against overwhelming odds, as long as their cause is just.
Turns out, I am not Michael Knight, my car does not talk, and we accomplish things by working together.

The 2 California Senators voicemail boxes are full, and the phone system is glitching like a pinball machine full of Mountain Dew.
I think Californians are curious about the ongoing Constitutional crisis, and are calmly leaving polite messages.

I know little about aviation, but I immediately thought of elevators, which are flight control surfaces. They change the /pitch/ of the aircraft.
If you're discussing aviation, you should know better than to use "elevation" interchangeably with "altitude."

This is a millionth-tier issue in wake of a tragedy.
But for anyone who knows about aviation: What word leaps out to you in comment from new head of DOD, and what does it suggest about his baseline knowledge level on the topic?
("Better to keep silent and be thought a fool, than...")

Christianity can be as good or as evil as the Christian who wields it. A hammer can be good when used to build a house for someone who needs a roof over their head. A hammer can be evil when used to bash skulls in. Neither hammer is a fake hammer.

I wish I could tell all those young men that the alpha male advice will only hurt them.
Instead, treat yourself and others with respect. Be yourself. Listen. Maybe know a joke or two.
If you’re interested, say so. If she’s not interested, then move on.

A crucial, urgent read in this moment of fascist acceleration:

I’m taking a break from US history to read Keegan’s First World War.

I’m trying to set realistic expectations for what is about to happen. But it’s a lot.
Also, how do I tell the people who still believe things will be pretty much fine that things are *already* not fine and there is no limit to how bad they can get?

Trans folks were always just the beginning of the rights attacks on peoples rights. Because democrats have capitulated the right will come for all lgbtqia rights and civil rights they are already using the same tactics to ready the theater for collapsing Oberfell, Lawrence, and brown vs. Board etc
republicans feel bold to openly claim they want to revert LGBTQ rights and public perception of LGBTQ people back to before the 2000s era

It would be hard to overstate to my cisgender readers how much this vote has damaged the Democratic Party among LGBTQ+ people, who make up 10% of the United States and a larger percentage of the Democratic Party.
Many will never forget it.
It will be a long road to rebuild from here.

Replacing social media with books is working out well for me.
The last 3 books I read are The 100 Years War on Palestine, Very Fine People by Moxon and A People’s History of the United States.

Read a little bit more about this, and goddammit we're getting played you guys. The original link from the ASA is very dishonest. They are moving to the CMS standard for anesthesia billing. In other words, they are going to pay the same way they do for Medicare and Medicaid.
This is not to defend Anthem in any way, but that viral article about anesthesiologists is published by their cartel. There's a reason it's one of the highest paid specialties, and why a very common surprise medical bill is for an out of network anesthesiologist on an in-network surgery

I’m also reading Very Fine People by A.R. Moxon.
It’s a very good book if you’re confused why we in the US are so cruel and we keep finding every and any reason to keep being cruel.
The author is on here, too. Maybe follow him.

Also transphobia is already coming for cis people. It’s been targeting cis people since it started. In fact women athletes have been accused of being male for decades
also I’m exhausted with “well you know what, wait til they come for cis people with these laws”—and I hate to tell you, the Niemoller “First they came for…” quote describes events that happened, not events that were prevented
