once upon a forest, the little critters finding their dead parents after the gas leak. watership down was less scary to me, i think bc i was probably able to rationalize the violence as something that animals just do. the gas leak/dead parents in OUaF felt like something that could happen to me

i really need you people to stop saying "but some autistics are actually ok" and start saying "throw all eugenecists in a deep hole and fill it with cement"
RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one.
Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

Excellent and clear-headed piece by barrister @robinmoirawhite.bsky.social unpicking the legal and logistical dog's breakfast that is the Supreme Court outcome – trans people will still be protected, and a trip to the ECHR looms for Britain. www.independent.co.uk/voices/trans...
Trans people like me will still be protected by law, no matter what opponents think
However much campaign groups might try to claim otherwise, it will still be indirect discrimination to put a policy in place excluding trans people from facilities consistent with their gender, writes...

''if someone is cruel to other people they'll be cruel to me eventually even if they initially pretend to be my friend bc abusers are fundamentally abusive'' is something i learned in adolescence, wild to see an entire country go through it at the same time
If another person tells me I'm not allowed to talk about recognizing patterns of narcissistic behavior because I'm not a doctor and the condition is stigmatized I -may- scream
Have you not seen. what is happening. as a result. of most people not knowing. about those patterns?

i am being 100% serious. if you can look at the worldwide protest that happened today and cynically sneer at it you need to book a therapist or something, because that's a miserable and lonely way to live
I’m done engaging with the nihilists. There is a liberal nihilism that’s obsessed with saying there won’t be future elections, and a left wing nihilism which saw millions of people take to the street today and declared it useless or even bad. These people should be ignored imo.
