Nex Benedict's murderers should be in custody & tried as adults. The fact that the PD is still lagging on this justice is both telling, and appalling.

Gen Z continues to be the most pro-union generation because they know #ItsBetterInAUnion! Working people across America are uniting in strong unions to elect pro-worker candidates who will rewrite the rules to make it easier for those who want a union to join one. #UnionsForAll

.@RepStefanik @gillibrandny @SenSchumer please co-sponsor the SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act. Since 1989, the #SSI asset limit has not been raised, forcing people w/ disabilities into poverty. #UpdateSSI

Many Autistic people experience Imposter Syndrome. We: feel like we aren’t really Autistic when we have an “easy” day; feel like frauds when we mask our Autistic traits whilst in NT spaces; and doubt our perceptions, experiences, skills and challenges when others invalidate them.

[The Bootleg Bodhisattva @wHOLYbootlegger]

@AutisticCallum_ Yep, because I overthink everything to death. It's worth the work to live a well-considered life.

This platform is such absolute trash. I've never followed or cared about JK Rowling on here, but I literally had to block that transphobe to stop getting push notifications about her putrid opinions. #gross #TERF #nonsense

I feel like this autistic strategy backfires a lot, but it’s so attractive 😂

[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

A strange part of being autistic is getting in trouble for your facial expressions, tone of voice, not inferring things you haven’t been told, and somehow implying things you haven’t implied. It can feel like people get offended by stuff that’s unavoidable and beyond our control.

[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

You may think an autistic person is snobby, when in reality: they’re just traumatised; guarded; formal; shy; socially anxious; awkward; honest; direct; loyal to rules, procedures and their morals; willing to defend themselves and others; have specific needs; and/or value quality.

[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

Is eye-rolling the most autistic reaction ever? I know eye-rolling isn’t exclusive to autistic people, but many of us roll our eyes more often than most. I’m always rolling my eyes. If I hear rubbish from anyone, my eyes automatically roll. I can’t help it. I mean no disrespect.

[The Bootleg Bodhisattva @wHOLYbootlegger]

Honesty is at odds with our power structures, since it would undermine (or demand the destruction of) most of our arbitrary authority & resulting oppression

Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert absolutely hate this poster. So for god’s sake — don’t even think about liking it or retweeting it.

A powerful ADHD life hack of mine is using simple, low-effort and free/cheap ways to make boring things fun (in a way that won’t be distracting). For example, I play upbeat music when cleaning, listen to podcasts when commuting, and dance in between reps when working out at home.

One of Alan Dugan’s last poems. He’s been a guilty pleasure since high school. I like this one because its fuck you to posterity is just Dugan’s way of saying I’ll be back on my bullshit if you need me.

Just saw somebody try to argue that minimum wage isn't supposed to be a living wage. That their small business can't afford to pay a living wage.

If the only way your business can exist is the exploitation of labor (aka peoples actual lives), then your business should not exist.

BREAKING: The Florida GOP just passed a bill that allows school resource officers to arrest any students caught with a book on school property.

We were supposed to forget about Logan Paul, but it's kinda hard when we can still see his little head floating around ringside #RoyalRumble
