Our current system is a 13 year tuition-free public school system that puts students in tens of thousands of dollars in debt to finish their schooling.
The alternative is expanding the system to be an 18 year tuition-free public school system that puts no one in debt.
Advocating for the alternative is billed as “extreme”
Many autistic people have so much anxiety because, from a young age, we’re taught that our natural differences, as well as innocent things we do for ourselves (and things we can’t do), can anger other people and result in them punishing us, even when they’re not affected by them.
@libbybakalar @tamarranicole I warned the anesthesiologist that I was going to throw up because I had HG & threw up all pregnancy. He got condensing & told me that I wouldn’t because things that make you throw up during pregnancy are different than in surgery. I threw up on him 3 times.

Biden and the Democrats gave the military $850 billion this year, the largest military budget in history. The Pentagon has just failed its fifth audit in a row.
Medicaid and SNAP recipients have just been dumped for the CEOS of Lockheed Martin and Raytheon.
Again for the people in the back, 1 in 4 teens miss school because they can't afford period products.
It's expensive and to the women who say, "Schools didn't give free period stuff when I went."
Yeah, you suffered. So why are you a sadist wanting another generation to suffer?
