To build a neurodivergent inclusive paradigm, the origin of our actions must contain a fundamental awareness of how colonization, capitalism and the tools of their enforcement inform the rules of defining what is divergent, or not, in the first place. #neurodiversity#neuroqueer
Thanks to everyone who continues to support us, who stands with Gaza, who engages with us, and who is still protesting. Please don’t stop talking about Gaza.
Adults tend to think of playing as frivolity, almost mindless time. But if you observe children playing, they often do so with a deep seriousness. It can be quite solemn.
I don't see this deep seriousness in adults very often, play or otherwise. But it is part of it.

Sadly, this sometimes looks like friends suggesting that we "just have unresolved trauma" and blame us for our own alienation & isolation. The amount of suffering condoned in this way is breathtaking. #pwME
ICE has 20,000 agents. The only way they'll deport millions of people is with the help of software. If you work for a company that's selling their tools to help ICE do this work, you should leak to reporters what's going on.
We had to make a form to handle the incoming responses. Here it is. Share it. Our immediate needs are marketing experts, 5th grade teachers, app developers, and grantwriters/fundraisers. An IP attorney as well. We've made great progress. We have 67 days. https://t.co/Y74p6V9EbG
Mental health services should not reinforce the Fawn Defense by pushing us to perform ‘suitable gratitude’ just to access even minimal and often shoddy support.
MAGA = disinformation.
1. Trump only ends Ukraine war by capitulating to Putin’s demands
2. Iran is waiting on Israel to ceasefire
3. Hamas only repeated another call for Israel to ceasefire
4. China only insisted US & China have to find a way to get along
That exit poll that said Natives voted 65% for Republicans is MISINFORMATION.
It only polled 229 Natives from 10 states.
The Indigenous Futures Survey polled 11,000 Natives & found that only 7% of Natives identified as Republican vs 60% liberal.

@crowe_justinp @OfMiceAndManda1@maklelan Many women and girls are receiving this as a rape threat since the election. It is a double threat of rape and forced birth. We had similar threats when Trump won the first time but it seems worse now.
@ItsNeeksYeah So if my math is right, and maybe it isnt bc Im tired as hell, but this means that approx 11% of women in US voted for Trump. Out of 11%: ~52% were white, ~38% were Latine and ~7-9% were Black.
We can address serious solidarity issues&4b and also be more accurate w the numbers
@ItsNeeksYeah This is not to minimize what you're saying, bc the ww problem is obviously real. Also helps to remember that 20-something % of US voted for Trump, the % of women is smaller and % of ww slightly smaller than that. Millions don't vote but many agree with progressive policy.
Some easy ways to start are wheat pasting art in public spaces, providing distraction while a friend shoplifts, jaywalking, if you're a real rule-follower. 😂 Start small and get accustomed to the feeling until you can remain calm. It will come in handy.
If you have never done direct action, civil disobedience or unlawfully sheltered someone, etc. The time is now to start training yourself by consistent acts of strategic, thoughtful rule and law breaking.
If you know what I'm talking about, would you interact a bit? TY!
Reminder that masks are also a nice little FU to biometric surveillance, support our right to privacy and the more of us that wear them, better protect those of us who shoplift groceries and medicine to survive. Also the uncool ones are actually the cool. Ancient punk rock wisdom
