Underrated thing that's been flying under the radar: ICE's hiring spree, by necessity since there are so few others willing and able, has been hiring away local cops, which infuriates the departments by causing manpower problems and is, ironically, removing the worst of the worst from their ranks.
The more local police see ICE assholes as criminals, the better it will be for us.
ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say.
"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

To me, the biggest tell that AI is massively overvalued is that Big Tech has to keep shoving it in our faces. I just noticed Chrome has a 'Gemini' button at the top of the browser, and I'm getting prompts all over the place, including Zoom, to 'try AI.'

FYI, if you get sad/SAD in the dark of winter, the full spectrum lights on my Aerogarden give me the dose of light that I need (as well as fresh basil year round.)
8/ New research highlights circadian rhythms—our body’s internal clocks that depend on light and routine—as key to quality sleep. Keep a steady sleep/wake schedule, dim lights at night, and get bright sunlight during the day. Consistency and light contrast are often more powerful than sleep gadgets.

Listening to the audiobook of "Someone You Can Build a Nest In" and wondering if @wiswell.bsky.social intended it as a radically re-skinned regency romance, or if that's just me. It's wonderful btw. Go procure yourself a copy posthaste.

I am slain. The truth; ow.
My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.

can more of y'all point out: they want to find out the "cause" of autism because they do not want us to exist

finding out the "cause" is rooted in a deep hatred of autistic folks

if they cared about us, they would offer us supports instead of impotently daydreaming about our eradication
