Fascism sets in EXACTLY like this. Days go by. Nothing improves. The people wait with bated breath for SOMETHING or SOMEONE to help. Court orders, but no enforcement. Time passes. We become desensitized. Life goes on. Rights are chipped away. Life goes on. People die. Life goes on.

Why knowing I am autistic is important (even diagnosed as late as 57): When I begin to berate myself for giving up on something, I now remember: no, you burned out. Autistic burnout is no joke. It's why being autistic is considered a disability. I'm not a loser. I'm running with ankle weights.

sitting in a waiting room this morning while my partner had a 6 hour long cancer removal surgery when I saw the news that the insurance CEO was shot. Im paying out of pocket because the best alternative for us is partial coverage @ 1000 a month with a 15000 deductible. Anyway heres a unrelated comic

Over a year of these videos and images from Gaza, of orphaned children and bereaved parents and amputees. Sometimes I feel physically sick with the weight of it. At all times I feel like there's a monstrous horror right behind me, breathing down my neck, & I go through life trying not to look at it
