I’m a retired cosmetic chemist. I’m a potter, a jeweler and a rock collector, with varying degrees of competency, but I have fun with all of it. I'm also a huge Ren Faire fan.

When I was growing up autistic kids were "hyper" or "had water on the brain" and there was always a raft of "weird kids" who were socially ostracized because they had a hard time people-ing. If you don't think autism existed before it was commonly called "autism," it's because you chose not to see.
My dad truly believed that people just didn't have autism when he was growing up and I had to be the one to break it to him that autistic people who didn't fit in WERE PUT INTO INSTITUTIONS

It's never about the science. It's always about having a legal basis for your fear and hatred of other people.
My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?
Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

If Dems ever get power again - assuming free and fair elections (big assumption) - they will never again have the excuse of “we can’t pass laws through congress and the president is powerless.”
Presidency is now a king level position capable of law by EO alone apparently.

Someone threw three little kittens in a cardboard box out on the street. Despite my own difficult situation these days, I couldn’t leave them there. I rescued them. One of them is sick and will need medicine.
Still in urgent need of help these days 🙏

If you're looking to transition your cat to indoor-only due to H1N1, great! There are many other benefits, too.
