If you think it’ll stop at Columbia and Harvard, you’re wrong. If you think it won’t go beyond universities to infiltrate all schools, you’re wrong. If you think it won’t demand compliance at media, medical, and non-profit organizations, you’re wrong. Fascism is here. Fight it.

It’s called “The Magpie” and it’s the first time I’ve tried to paint a living thing that isn’t a vegetable.

Still wild to me that so many "savvy" folks on left and right have bought into the idea that online misinformation is overblown and doesn't really matter. From lies about migrants to transgender people to crime to election denial to climate denial, it's literally driving our country's politics.

I'm quite enjoying the genre of autism research that's just checking what autistic people say is happening for us, and then putting it in a peer-reviewed journal.
Like, it sounds trivial, but this is genuinely how a lot of the most useful research on things that actually matter to us is happening.
