Alrighty, what's your wrestling hot take?

Mine is wrestling tribalism is killing the sport more than any bad booking or political stuff backstage ever will. I like and dislike different things from all feds and go to my local indie shows. I just want wrestling by any company.

It might be an idea for me to introduce myself to people who aren't from twitter. Im an autistic woman, married to an autistic man, we have two autistic children. I prefer books,computers & animals to other humans. Empathy & compassion should always be incorporated into politics.

- didn't write anything this year
- can't articulate words anymore

I am the mother of three sons.

I would sell my soul to the devil to save each of them.

Especially if I recognized the devil.

Neurodivergence is so fascinating scientifically because on the one hand you have endless bullshit from quacks who think autism is when a child acts like Spock, and then on the other you have mind blowing results like "oh by the way autism is correlated with connective tissue disorders"

Not all autistic people mask.

For some of us it makes life annoying.

For others of us it makes life extremely dangerous, so much so that we can’t leave our homes safely.

“High masking” is hard too.

We are all autistic.

And that’s the point.

Stop creating hierarchies.

It's so important to accept the entire Autistic community. That means:

- People diagnosed as a child
- People late diagnosed
- People who think they might be Autistic, but aren't sure yet
- People who don't care about labels
- Our fathers, mothers, and grandparents who will never know

The handwringing lectures about how the left has no choice but to stay on Twitter are even more ridiculous when you remember that the far right used a series of alternative media — from direct mail to talk radio to Fox News to Breitbart to Gab, Parler and Truth Social — as their path to victory.

There's no longer any upside to Twitter over Bluesky. Twitter's engagement is terrible, it downranks external links, and you're subjected to straight nazi shit if you write even the most banal post. Why are we subjecting ourselves to this?

Imagine the world if we’d been willing to learn from COVID…

What if we’d embraced WFH to slow climate change?

What if we’d installed filtration systems in public buildings to reduce the spread of illness?

What if we’d demanded disability justice re long COVID?

A better world is still possible.

Through her website, I sent my congressperson a message. Asking to lift social security disability income and saving limits. Opted for the contact me back option too. Tho don't have my hopes up high (Congress and politicians in general are owned by the oligarchs). Glad I still tried.

I voluntarily gave up SSDI to go back to work. Then I fell behind on my premium payments and lost my Medicare. When I called to see what I could do to get it back they said I could quit my job, sign back up on disability and then I would get my Medicare back. Make it make it make sense.

Classifying autism as a legitimate reason for M.A.D. is a dangerous precedent.

That isn’t to say that our life is easy and isn’t a huge struggle. It IS a huge struggle.

And struggle isn’t a reason for us to die.

It sets a precedent to show society, even further, that our lives aren’t worth it.

The only way to stop the flow of refugees is to end the cause of refugees. You can't return someone fleeing danger from dictatorship and hunger back to certain death, it's wrong.

Reminder that disabled people have no obligation to consume assisted dying media. You don’t have to read posts about how someone would kill themselves if they were like you. You have no duty to be polite when they say we cost too much. Your mental health matters. Your life does too.
