Binary is more than about gender. @jaxbayne.bsky.social joins me for an amazing conversation about how Autistics who are nonbinary are leading us in better directions in these difficult times. #autistic #autisticpride #actuallyautistic #nonbinary

People should lift each other up and cheer each other on, not try to outdo each other. The sky would be terribly dark with only one star.

What is being said about Autism is Atrocious and False.

Autistic people work, they go on dates, they play sports, they write poetry. To say autistic people do not do these things is like saying humans do not do these things. Not all humans do all of these things; neither do all autistic people.

I've been bad about using this platform...

Old habits die hard...
Still trying to divorce Meta...
The hooks... they're so deep... argh...

How's everyone else doing?

Also, is the "gingers are black" convo happening here, too?
Cos that's cracking me up, yet also it's heartwarming heh <3

Here’s to 2025, My 35th Year Alive!

5 years ago today, I posted asking to confirm if the mayor of Bellingham had asked everyone to stay home as the COVID-19 pandemic was hitting Whatcom County and we were going into lockdown for the first time on a global scale.

Does anyone know of an alternative to TikTok for a way to make videos with captions so easily?

I wanna leave that platform, too, but haven’t found something like it or IG that are as user friendly for me.

Any suggestions?

Quick update of what’s it’s like to be disabled, latinx, autistic, and transgender in the USA in 2025!

Spoiler alert: it’s pretty hellish.

I’m a elder Gen-X autistic. My autistic mom was a Silent, born in 1929. Her autistic father was born in the late 1800’s. Autism isn’t new, but the more loud, bright, complicated, stressful, etc. the world gets, the harder it is for autistics to cope & be functional and unnoticed.
Today on “misinformation on Facebook” - someone who doesn’t understand that the government isn’t creating NeuroDivergent People.

What some of us have always known (the USA is a meritocracy) is now being explicitly stated.

While this is awful, it also legitimizes & validates the fears & anxieties I’ve had as an intersectional minority living in the US since childhood.

It makes me feel even more emboldened to speak out now.

a lot of my friends are trans. it took me a while to open up and see my own genderfluid identity. that was eleven years ago. i don't regret accepting this identity. if anything, it saved my life. none of my trans friends have ever said they regret transitioning. not one. we know who we are.

Jax’s Not-So-Inner Monologue

The fact that my post calling for organization of protests and political solutions to the crisis we are facing in Whatcom county was removed from the Buy Nothing Sell Nothing Group tells me all I need to know about how hard it is going to be to uproot the white rich…

And that doesn’t just apply to Whatcom County and Bellingham City, but all of WA state.

Stability is just code for ‘working as intended’—for the people it was designed to serve. But for everyone else? Stability is enforced. Colonized lands, racialized bodies, gendered oppression—all maintained under the illusion of ‘order.’

•Polynesians navigated the Pacific before Europe figured out longitude.
• Africans designed fractal-based municipalities before Europe had sidewalks.
• Indigenous engineers built flood-proof cities while Europe drowned in its own waste.
Decolonization means resetting the lie of Western “progress.”

Colonization told you:

• Indigenous knowledge is “primitive.”
• Western technology is “progress.”

POV: you have a kink for being yelled at & criticized

Just kidding… it’s actually an unedited rant chastising the leftist minorities I’m seeing who are attacking other minorities online 😡

CW: lots of angry swearing and social shaming lol

Finally started getting all my art put in one place, but now I want to put it elsewhere...

Anyone know of another platform that´s for sharing images that is free and not owned by Meta?

Continuing to emotionally process all that 2025 is bringing through art.

This time I was dabbling with photography. I like experimenting with all different kinds of art forms.

Processing mah feels through charcoal today.
