Random blather because I need to talk about something not the 838373 shitty things in the world. Why is Blues Clues associated so heavily with “millennials” when it didn’t come out until 1996? This isn’t against the show, I’m completely neutral about it, but I just don’t get the association.

If you speak up about empathy for some piece of shit but not for innocent children, you have no soul.

It was my birthday yesterday. It was meh. Most of all, what was hovering over my head is feeling so lonely and disconnected. I have stopped trying to initiate conversation with those supposedly my closest friends. I feel like nobody actually cares.

Will Democrats Let the GOP Gut Trans Health Care?
Donald Trump and Republicans may try to ban funding to companies that perform trans health care. Some fear Democrats won't stop them.

Me: I’m lonely and want to visit with people.
People reach out to me asking to do something and I start shutting down and feeling overwhelmed.
Why am I like this? 🙃

RFK suggests they're moving from a "sick care system" to a "healthcare system" and then lists fluoride as one thing they've "taken on" as well as reducing animal testing and GoF research. Literally making people more sick with what he's listing. #FireRFK

Imagine thinking “quiet hands” is anything good. An infantile term meant to restrict healthy stimming. Preventing healthy stimming is preventing self balancing for autistic people. It just makes me rage. I wish people appreciated the beauty in autistic stimming.

one of the great conservative moves over the past decade has been to make themselves so unpleasant that their own family members are forced to cut them off, and then use that fact to argue that *liberals* are too uncivil

Well, first thing I see on my phone this morning is my dad sending me a “well I guess you don’t want to talk to me anymore” pity party message. Including mentioning how I didn’t thank him for the “gift” he sent O for his birthday. I went ahead and jumped on that.
