Common theme of people I've interviewed recently. At universities, in research centers, in diplomacy, in the legal system, dealing with refugees or immigrants:
The reality inside is much worse than you would think from the outside.

A small child recently described her cat to me by saying "She's orange with pink toe beans."
I hereby request that every cat description should henceforth include toe bean color. This is vital information we have all been keeping to ourselves.

Catie Malik is once again King GOP's preferred candidate.
She also answered their candidate questionnaire...with a very transphobic answer regarding trans girls in sports, whom Catie calls: "males who identify as females".

The test he took at Walter Reade, which he brags about all the time - "Man, Woman, Camera" -- was not an IQ test, but a test for encroaching dementia.
Trump: "AOC -- look. I think she's very nice. But she's very low IQ, and we really don't need low IQ. Between her and Crockett, we're gonna give 'em both an IQ test to see who comes out best. I took a real test at Walter Reed medical center and I aced it. Now it's time for them to take a test."

Hot take: it is both sexist & transphobic for Google to make it impossible to EITHER change your email address OR export all your shit and then import it into a new Google account.
Changing names is NOT a weird use case, it is an extremely normal human activity that tech companies should cope with.

Have you ever TRIED to find help?!? You get sent resources, and every resource you contact is there to find you resources. So then you contact those resources only to discover they’re just there to find you resources.
WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO DO THE THINGS?!?

Note the ableds who are so sure that help exists, are never willing to provide it themselves.
They will gaslight, dismiss, blame and insinuate that we are simply unwilling or unable to find the help, while simultaneously being unwilling to provide any assistance.
Ableism. It's everywhere.

There’s been deserved disgust and ridicule for RFK’s bizarre idea of what autism is. But there are disabled children for whom the below is true. RFK is saying their lives are worth less. People like my brother are worth less. This is plain, overt eugenics. Antivax is and has always been eugenicism.
RFK Jr. wants to eradicate autistic people and also has no idea what an autistic person is

Reminders:
"Concentration camps" aren't the same as "extermination camps." Both were/are horrific.
Most Nazi camps were *outside Germany*, away from the eyes of German citizens.
Those trains? Were to, uh, deport the category of people whose lives were deemed unimportant.
Never again is now.

Excluding trans girls from sports on the basis that it is not fair to cis girls is like saying that ballet dancers with unusually strong tendons should have their tendons forcibly damaged so that people with more tendency toward injury can have a fair shot. Which sounds ridic cuz it is!!!!!
