@AutismColorado If autism isn't a disabled way of experiencing the world, "disability" has no meaning beyond the use of mobility devices.

Grad school, year 2, day one, ... with equal amounts dread, lacking support, and IDGAF all mulling on a low simmer.

I'm ready!?! Well, anyway, it's here, and so am I.

Grad school, term 2, begins today!

Awesome and wild ride so far. Excited for the possibilities!

President Biden's announcement today about student loan debt relief has upset some people who believe it's unfair. I acknowledge that resentment, and also, while we're on the subject of unfairness, I have some thoughts for your consideration. (thread)

Orientation and Intensive sessions complete. Came out to cohort. Two papers on this experience due by end of week.

I guess I'm really doing this whole grad school thing!

It's possible getting neurodivergently beat down about how you never think the right way your entire life enables you to understand others more easily because you're deeply accustomed to the idea, "Maybe how I'm thinking about it's wrong" & people who've "never" been wrong don't.

There really is no excuse for police to hide from the public the names and prior records of officers who’ve harmed people. It’s just another part of a system that is designed to avoid accountability at every level.

trans people aren’t being unrealistic for begging an administration that campaigned on its support of their rights to do literally anything to help them

@ZakirSpeaks This is not the first time Portland Police shared inaccuracies as facts. Should they be held accountable - yes. Will they be held accountable by the Commissioner in charge of the Bureau - the Mayor? No bc when has the Mayor ever held Portland Police accountable?

There was a mass shooting and zero people I talked to in Colorado today knew anything about it.

For the Japanese American community, today is a solemn day. It's the Day of Remembrance, the anniversary of FDR's Executive Order 9066, which ordered the internment of 120,000 persons of Japanese descent, two-thirds of whom were citizens of the United States.

Kim Potter, a white police officer, was just sentenced to less than two years for killing Daunte Wright.

This is the same system that sentenced Crystal Mason, a Black mother of three, to five years for voting when she didn't realize a past felony conviction made her ineligible.

Minnesota police have killed 3 people in the past 66 days, all of which were Black men.
