If an autistic person tells you “please don’t speak to me like that” it is not an invitation to argue with them as to why the way you’re speaking to them is fine.
It doesn’t matter if you feel misunderstood.
We are so often on the brink, and just begging not to be shoved off.
PSA to the kids entering the job market: DO NOT TELL THE INTERVIEWER THAT YOU TAKE THE BUS. SAY YOU HAVE "RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION" AND LEAVE IT AT THAT. DON'T TAKE THE BAIT! It's how they single out people from disadvantaged backgrounds legally.
And FFS, what a waste of valuable time for the pharmacy staff, physician and office staff, and most importantly the patients.
@Publix you are harming patients by inappropriately delaying care in an often already traumatizing situation.
Do better.

@Publix at the very least, educate yourself: The terms “spontaneous,” “missed,” “incomplete,” and “inevitable” all refer to miscarriage, and management of any kind of #miscarriage does not fall under any state restrictions.

This is a gross misinterpretation of an already harmful law that is not even in effect yet and another example of how abortion restrictions will negatively impact ALL reproductive healthcare.

Apparently, pharmacists were directed by @Publix administration to clarify all prescriptions that have the term “abortion” in them even if it already specifies “spontaneous,” and they will read you the fucking FL statute over the phone.

They will delay your care and refuse to fill your prescription until they can “clarify” the indication for your prescription even when it clearly states the diagnosis is a “spontaneous abortion,” which, by definition, is a miscarriage.

PSA to anyone in FL experiencing a miscarriage:
@Publix is NOT a safe place for your misoprostol prescription if you elect for medical management of your miscarriage.

Come to 4th and Harrison in Davenport. Community is pleading that they search for family members again before demoing building. Police have created a 2 block perimeter with barricades and riot gear.
Police are “protecting” the rubble of a partially collapsed apartment building which is currently covering missing people and pets.
This is beyond sick.
Learning you are autistic later in life is like putting on glasses that help you see. You will see all the hurt and you will process through what seems to be every memory of your life with this new lens. Things that didn’t make sense will form a clearer picture.
@darafaye@PalmBayPD An "unfortunate accident" for leaving an 11 month old in a hot car for 3 hours, but when a woman wants to terminate a pregnancy on her terms, it's murder.
Make it make sense.
An 11 month old baby died after being left in a hot car for 3 hours while the parents attended church.
The police chief called it an “unfortunate accident” & hasn’t filed charges.
I’d love for @PalmBayPD to explain how an “accident” like this doesn’t deserve charges….
@DragonCobolt Exactly. There's also "I was raised by the kind of conservatives who love Ben Carson and Clarence Thomas, but consider Colin Powell a disappointment bc he betrayed Dubya."
It’s fascinating. White republican politicians seem to always focus on wanting people at the lowest end of the socioeconomic spectrum to work harder for any benefits they might get from the government.
Meanwhile, they don’t ever discuss the folks at the high end of the spectrum needing to work any harder for yet another round of tax cuts they receive. They don’t even want them to have to work as hard as they have been….and keep even more money.
The wealth of this nation came from slaves doing all of the shit work, so the white slave owner could sit on his ass…and let the money roll in.
Nothing has changed. Not a Goddamned thing.
