A Siamese cat sitting on a cat bed, with one of his back legs raised up. His toes on that foot are outstretched so that his claws are sticking straight up and the cat's head is lowered to them. He seems to be carefully grooming his toes and nails.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.
Neither Neurodivergence Nor Mental Illness Made Them Bigots—They're Just Awful People
It's hard to admit your heroes are jerks, but the mentally ill and neurodivergent shouldn't be collateral damage.

Everyone single time I hear the phrase "boys will be boys" I think of this scene of Lucifer playing footsie with his tar feet. That's the level of ick factor this phrase will create. #Gross #Constantine #KeanuReeves #BestSatan

If you’re struggling today, as I am, just know this:

YOU HAVE NOT FAILED.

It’s the world that has failed.

Keep calm and bugger on.

Good morning, friends. This has been a tough week for public health, especially for those impacted by the RIFs. Authoritarian forces gain power by isolating us and eroding our hope—so taking care of ourselves and each other is an act of resistance.
