I see why people were doing reintroductions now.
I am an ADHD/Autism self-advocate and researcher. I skeet these things sporadically ADHD/Autism/AuDHD science, local Aotearoa (NZ) politics, my own personal experiences with AuDHD.
I also skeet a lot of shitposts, and reskeet cool art I love.

Finding out that a significant portion of the Epstein files can be unredacted due to them using a highlight function with black is hilarious.

The purpose of blaming any and every tragedy on trans people is convincing each other "wouldn't life be so much better if we just got rid of all the trans people"
There's no evidence that Rob and Michele Reiner's son Nick is undergoing a gender transition, despite claims circulating on social media. Here's how the baseless rumor spread. 👇

Ranks right up there next to other US recipients of the actual Nobel Peace Prize - Barack Obama (during many drone attacks in middle eastern countries), and Henry Kissinger...
I'm shocked that the inaugural recipient of the FIFA Peace Prize would be preparing to wage war on another country to seize its resources. It's almost like that prize was a cynical and meaningless gesture.

The neurodivergent experience of having a system that works for you and having someone tell you not to use that system and instead follow a procedure that is impossible to do, as it doesn't cater to how your neurodivergent differences show up - meaning you get paralysed during initiation.

You mean the company that started making live action remakes to lowball animators might have a profit incentive to do unethical shit.
Disney has been dying for a while. Might as well nail the coffin shut.
