WHY HAVE A TV WRITER ON SET?

Glad you asked, here's a thread.
AOC went from being anti-war, pro-worker, universal health care, literally crying at the border during Trump’s presidency. To doing military recruiting, voting to give more money to ICE, and against railroad workers, etc. You can NOT reform or “change things from the inside.”
My dearest neurodivergent friends, I think it’s time to reflect on our attachment to the endless stream of threads attempting to enumerate neurodivergent traits or essential differences between neurodivergence/neurotypicality.
I know people like @jk_rowling and @jessesingal are moral cowards who won't step forward to own this as the consequence of their relentlessly hatemongering, but make no mistake: you did this, and we all know it's what you wanted the whole time you sick, depraved people.
@benji_bright Imo once we've sorted out a diagnosis or label that feels representative of us it's then our responsibility to find and build supports for that so we don't end up hiding behind a diagnosis and being wildly unaccountable--not that an ableist society makes that easy but still...

Brandon Sanderson affirming the LDS church's institutional homophobia on his personal blog. My two cents, we've tolerated this guy in SFF for far too long.
@butchanarchy I had the exact same strategy and it took sooooo much pressure off and even made people like me MORE because they envied how much I "didn't care" what other people thought and they wished they could be that "brave" (when really I just didn't have another choice really 🤷🏻)
