Trans people are “anti-art,” according to Helen Joyce, a high-profile activist with the UK-based anti-trans group Sex Matters. She says this is why trans rights groups produce art that is “ugly”; the trans community seeks to normalize “unhealthy and unnatural body types.”

It frustrates me to no end when I hear dog trainers say things like “puppies and dogs cannot understand words“ because all of the dogs in our care have understood words (though Bear and Sadie, who both joined us as puppies, seem to know more words than any dogs I’ve worked with in the past).

It is impossible to ‘pour from an empty cup,’ but our society seems to have forgotten (or been discouraged from learning) this lesson.
Neurodivergent People, in particular, too often bear the brunt of these demanding systems (that haven’t been designed without our needs taken into consideration).

When we brought Sadie out of the RV so we could gauge her feelings about the tiny puppy, something unexpected happened.
As soon as Sadie saw the tiny puppy, it was as if she could tell this kid was too young to be without its parents, and Sadie showed us a side of herself we’d never seen before.

For me, Autism isn’t a gift or a curse. It’s both my strengths and my weaknesses. Not a good thing or a bad thing… it’s just “me”.

There’s no such thing as “less Autistic or more Autistic,” that’s not how the spectrum works… It’s not a line. It’s more like a constellation.

Then: “But you’re so high functioning.”

The proposal would effectively recriminalize a wide range of hemp-derived products by capping total THC content at just 0.4 milligrams per product, a threshold that would outlaw most items currently sold in gas stations, convenience stores, and online marketplaces.
