My father says that I came out of the womb talking and haven't shut up since. Now is the time to take things to the next level with political activism! It's time to take our power back!

It would be really great if people would actually look at my posts before messaging me. To all men, my identity doesn't boil down to marriage or motherhood. By the way, this is why feminism matters, and why they are attempting to strip our rights away. I am not a stupid girl. I am an educated woman.

Federal immunity won't protect them from the Hague. We must stand up, as Americans. There are more of us than there are of them. Now is the time for good trouble!

So, I understand that the POTUS has recently been the subject of an unreasonable "sabotage" orchestrated by the UN. Fortunately, I am a big fan of one deceased comedian, Mitch Hedberg, who understands how to manage this devastating conundrum.

By the way, Trump doesn't actually care about what happened to Charlie Kirk. Whenever he is asked about his feelings about what happened, he shifts to talking about what he actually cares about.

I am a US citizen who supports this. I recognize that it is hurting my country's economy, but I also recognize that is the only way to make a difference in the US.

So, for anyone who still wants to support Joanne, she quoted Hitler, in order to support Charlie Kirk. Here's some simpler comparisons, "Birds of a feather flock together," "If 11 people sit with one Nazi, there are just 12 Nazis at the table", "Jeder Nazi ist ein hurensohn."

Just as a follow up to my prior post about Charlie Kirk's death, a lot of people are saying that political violence is "not who we are". Well, while I agree that it is not what we should be, I think that anyone who says that is ignoring our entire history in the US. We were founded in blood.

So, I have toured Alcatraz before. I, also, used to be a regular volunteer in the prison system in the state of Virginia, with my mother. When we toured Alcatraz, we literally discussed that by today's standards, Alcatraz wasn't that bad, even though it was one of the worst prisons of its time.

So, this is going to be my post about the thing that I wish neuro-typical people understood about the neurodivergent population. I have struggled with setting boundaries, because I have been masking since I was about age two (as long as I can remember) and all of my boundaries have been invalidated.
