Once again,

If your gender is different from how you were assigned at birth, then you fall under the trans umbrella.

Whether you choose to use the term transgender to describe yourself is up to you.

We all need to come together.

In unity.

Except for all of those people who don't fit. They need to leave.

I do want Transgender for Everyone.

I want everyone to have full personal and bodily autonomy.

I want everyone to have the freedom to determine who they are for themselves and not have this dictated by other people.

Everyone is the expert on themselves. Self-determination is a fundamental right.

They're basically all the same

The only difference is with iron or without.

Well, trans men and women could just use the men's room and the women's room.

Then, just add some gender neutral bathrooms for non-binary people.

Ah, okay, fictional characters cannot be autistic, good to know.

Google search for "is blaze the cat autistic"

AI Overview response, "No, Blaze the Cat is not depicted as autistic in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, as autism is a developmental disorder and she is a fictional character. However, some fans and content creators have noted how the characters and settings in the Sonic series, with their distinct colors and predictable traits, can appeal to autistic individuals by providing comfort and stimulation, according to a YouTube video."

If you create an autistic fictional character, that character will become real and take over your life.

There's no way to stop it. The process will be completed in seven days.

Have a good week.

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

White People’s Performative Ignorance Is Exhausting—Opinion

Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

Republicans just removed Miami Beach's famous pride crosswalks. They could have painted them, but instead used bulldozers to destroy the bricks. Pride crosswalks are a tiny, symbolic gesture. But they are still important symbols of the political climate.

Are you a non-Black person pissed at Bluesky leadership and feeling a little jealous of all the good vibes coming from Blacksky?

There are Blacksky adjacent options for you! Here’s info from the Blacksky migration guide!

They literally named it "The Principle of Conventionality."

It's like they're just begging us to not abide by it.

And, of course, we don't.

Honestly, all of the anxiety around autistic people comes from the simple fact that we're different.

That we don't follow the rules.

That we don't do things the way neurotypicals do.

But, this one is hilarious.

Excellent paper. This part is funny

"Neologisms defy the 'principle of conventionality'"

"Why would autistic language users not (always) abide by a principle that seems to guide other speakers' use and acquisition of language?"

Because we're rebels. That's why. We don't need no stinking rules

Wonderful paper reframing autistic neologisms (inventing new words) as linguatype (an autistic way of speaking) rather than a deficit onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1... (with thanks to the ever-excellent @pkwalkersharpe.bsky.social for flagging it up!)

An Autistic “Linguatype”? Neologisms, New Words, and New Insights

In this commentary, we present new ideas about autistic neologisms. This essay has two primary goals. First, we argue that an autistic predilection to form neologisms generates intriguing new hypothe....

After months of silence, the head of Trust and Safety came into *my replies* to be like "FINE! LET'S TALK ABOUT THE GOONING!" and then his coworker buddy appeared like "YEAH, TELL 'EM ABOUT HOW YOU WEREN'T GOONING!"

I don't care who you are, that's fucking funny

They can finally say all the bigoted things they want to say.

Because the people they're saying it about are "bad people" or because "we need to take back our democracy."

It's all so cowardly and pathetic.

And like you said, the fascists don't even care.
