Over on @scarleteen.com , I wrote up an essay I've always wanted to read and that is more essential than ever with the US government's anti-autism BS. Autistic people: we are enough. I delved into this reality in this essay, plz share and read if you can! :)

Hey, Autistic People: You're Enough
You exist and that’s a good thing. I wish I’d been told that earlier, because it’s the truth for all of us, in as well as outside the autistic community.

Oh wow..this is such a blast from the past I’m getting nostalgic. I remember accessing Scarleteen in my teenage years in the early days of the web and they had some of the best advice and sex ed for an Indian teenager who didn’t really get it from anywhere else. Do donate if you’re able!
Sex ed is a notoriously underpaid field. Many sex educators work multiple jobs and don’t have access to employee health benefits. We're raising $40,000 to provide healthcare for our staff and volunteers so we can focus on what we do best: Supporting young people. www.classy.org/campaign/scarl...

Personal Me: Dammit, if 2025 wasn’t already fired, the death toll alone would do it. Bi activist Loraine Hutchins has left us. RIP. I still treasure my signed copy of BI ANY OTHER NAME, the ground-breaking anthology from Alyson Press that she co-edited w/ Lani Ka’ahumanu. 😢

Don’t even get me started on the cultural and personal implications of slogans like, “AI girls never say no.”
Generative AI causes so many demonstrable harms, from counseling kids into suicide, stealing creative work and destroying the market for it, perverting education, and this predictable horror. Any other product like this would be regulated into the smallest possible box by a responsible society.
This is one of the worst, most horrifying exposures we have ever seen. It is hard to overstate how bad the things that people are using tools like for are, and it's insane to pretend like these tools are anything other than nonconsensual porn machines

This is a moment of uncertainty and fear in sex ed. Governments are restricting access to sexual health information with tactics such as age verification laws and treating sex ed as pornography to deny young people access to information that provides them with accurate sexual health information.

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.
A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.
We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

In the early 00's, Scarleteen was my resource for factual sex ed. I grew up in Georgia and the only sex ed we got in (public!) school was abstinence-only and full of misinformation. I can't even remember how I came across the site, but it was invaluable. Let's keep it going for the next generation!
$1,800 to go and the night is young! Come on, internet, we can do this. Scarleteen's sex ed and direct services are essential in an era of misinformation and they require real humans who bring years of experience and compassion to their work. Health educators should have access to health care.
Today is my birthday. I would like many things but from you specifically I want $2,500 for @scarleteen.com's annual fundraiser, which is supporting staff & volunteer healthcare this year. We need $2,500 to unlock a $10,000 match and this would really make my day! Donate to my campaign page here.

We take a moment today to reflect on Tiger Queen Alice Wong, a disability leader who joined our ancestors this weekend. Alice was a ferocious advocate for disability power and autonomy and profoundly influenced our work. She also very much believed in pleasure, sensuality, and the power of the body.
