NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

A typhoon hit Alaska -- displacing over 1,000 people, washing away homes and entire communities.

And why isn't this all over the news?

They're Indigenous communities.

Happy Indigenous People Day.

Dear parents of autistic kids,

The only thing you did to cause your kid's autism is f***.

Good talk.

According to the "big beautiful bill," Planned Parenthood can no longer bill Medicaid. Millions of people lose access to essential healthcare, without notice.

The autistic community deserves to be heard!

I'm heading to DC to represent Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network at the Autism Roundtable.
HHS now has an autism registry. The same HHS Director has publicly stigmatized our community.

Science does not work like this. The only way you can set a timeline is if you have rigged the results in advance.

Such a long week I haven't circulated my own work!

Minnesota lawmakers are taking up thorny question of creating minimum safety & quality standards for a questionable autism 'therapy' that appeals more to private equity than to #actuallyautistic people.

@autistictyping.bsky.social has thoughts.

Last week, I watched a TikTok from a man who was convicted of a crime and he negotiated for a longer sentence so that he could serve his sentence on a California fire camp and ultimately have a slightly shorter sentence.

Hey so, what the fuck !

There are no bad feelings!

Yes, some feel bad in the moment. Yes, some are challenging, some are motivating. Yes, some may drive us to act in ways that we don't want to act.

All feelings are important, all feelings deserve to be recognized, validated, respected, processed.

Please call your reps as soon as possible opposing HR 9495 which would give the Secretary of the Treasury unilateral ability to strip nonprofits of their 501(c)3 status if they are deemed “to be a “terrorist-supporting” organization.” It’s a 21st century Alien and Sedition Act.

I don't love when I post about Indigenous issues and then non-Indigenous people of any given political affiliation swoop in to tell me that I am taking side with a political affiliation that they don't like.

🗣️🇨🇦‼️ — We believe all Ojibways & Indigenous nations from the south must be afforded the same rights of northern Ojibways & Indigenous nations that are recognized by the United States, but in Canada; for example, the right to work, live & learn visa-free & free of any discrimination.
