This won't be limited to just autism. They're building the panopticon to track anyone with any "undesirable" illness. This is eugenics, full stop.

George Lucas: Bad guys make space laser so big it blow up planet.

Tony Gilroy: Imagine the billions of people ground up in the gears of totalitarianism to make that big space laser, the sheer scale of repression, both intimate and unfathomably vast in its reach ...
inject this shit directly into my veins

star wars is a ridiculous universe with space wizards and laser swords and apparently all I ever wanted was someone to take it completely seriously as a "how does this work in practice" study of fascism the way Andor does
Disney wrote Andor season 2 like, specifically for me!

jk rowling funded a case going before the supreme court that argues it should be legal to discriminate against and persecute trans ppl.

yet still we have to listen to ‘centrists’ claiming she isn’t bigoted she just has ‘a difference of opinion’.

no trans ppl have a voice in these proceedings.

So fun fact - people on the left *are* working with young men. Like I got a whole ass partner who spends all his time doing that. People just sorta ignore that because it doesn't make for good headlines, and also people like saying we need to bring back the subjugation of women.

NEW: updated long-run gap in voting between young men and women in Germany:

Gender divide continues to widen, but contrary to what is often assumed, young men continue to vote roughly in line with the overall population, while young women have swung sharply left.

Do you know why people who find out they are autistic do this? It’s a request for kindness and understanding before doing or saying something which will be perceived as odd. It’s also a way to understand ourselves, having just received a new word to describe how we’ve been our entire lives

Once a year, Americans subject a groundhog named Phil to a Bloodborne cutscene and force him to predict the weather.
Early Sunday morning, before a cheering crowd in western Pennsylvania’s Gobbler’s Knob, the famed prognosticating groundhog emerged from his den and saw his shadow, his handlers proclaimed.

That means Punxsutawney Phil has declared six more weeks of winter.

According to lore — and the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club — when Phil is determined to have seen his shadow, six more weeks of winter are in the offing.

Quick reminder that if you see a headline from a source you’ve never heard of that isn’t being reported by anyone else, you really should do some due diligence before spreading it around as fact. There’s enough misinformation floating around already; no need to add more.

I am still waiting to hear from the Resolve AB lab at @ucalgary.bsky.social as I try to claw for help and resources in my community, for other women.

I managed to survive. It was also unbearable, in many ways. The women and children in my area deserve more than platitudes and dismissal.
Recent headlines across Canada have exposed an unbearable truth: women are being killed because they have nowhere to go.

Hey, so when did neurotypicals start thinking autism = high chance of doing a Nazi salute on international broadcasts? When did that trait get added to the DSM 5?

I'm going to make this easy. Do this salute, or make apologies for someone who does, near me and I am going to punch you in the throat.
