Perhaps we autistics could use special interests in our activism. Just talk at blue bibs for as long as possible about, say, whales. not only do they not gain intel from us, they also are held up from chatting to others.
#SundayWisdom Don't talk to the blue-bibbed Police Liaison Officers if you're at a protest, no matter how hard they try to "chat". They're intelligence gatherers

🏊♀️The women who swim at Kenwood Ladies Pond have already made their decision.
In 2024, almost 900 members voted to keep their trans-inclusive policy - a policy that has worked peacefully since 2019.
Now, a small campaign group is seeking to overturn that democratic decision through the courts.
