People who tell me “You’re an extreme case, we’re not talking about you” when it comes to disability benefits…
I don’t care.
When you come for one disabled person, you come for us all.
I’m not as selfish as you to do the “Oh I’m alright then”.
I actually care about others.

It's almost like chronically ill people can be a lot more likely of being stuck in relationships where people hate them bc they can't work. Everyone else thinks it's their fault.

We need to quit wasting time finding a scapegoat for autism, and instead focus all of our efforts on finding a cure for Dunning-Kruger.

I think I dated Steven Miller in the '90s. One night he emerges from the bathroom wearing nothing but a fringed had and waving around a red cape.

Since we’re changing names and moving military bases, let’s change the name of the Trump Administration to The Department of Waste, Fraud, and Abuse.
Changing the name of the Department of Defense will cost billions.We could build units for all unhoused veterans. Or give service members a pay raise so 35K active duty members wouldn’t have to rely on food stamps. Or… or… or…

So in Texas, the black votes count as 1/5 to 1 white vote. They locked up an elected official who happens to be black. Other states are sending the National Guard to occupy cities with black mayors. I don’t believe these are a coincidence. Do you?
