I am from White rural ‘Merica, aka Hell for Neurodivergent LGBTQ+ people as myself. I’m barely in my 40s, yet my girl friends w/ 5+ kids and divorced cheer that their daughters are already married.
No career. No trade. No post high education. No self worth. WTF!

So Hot Wheels, aka Greg Abbott, is calling out the Nat’l Guard against me and other Austinites for Saturday’s #Nokingsday. This can only end badly for him. Is he really hoping they fire into a crowd of young professionals and artists? Too bad he’s never read a history book.

As an autistic person, I’m full blown anxious for #Nokingsday. I would rather stau home playing an RPG, but I know what’s at stake. I’m going for my kids and patients. I’m going because I’m a moral atheist. (It was easier as a Xtian hoping Joshua (Jesus, if you prefer), would come end things.

So all these people still supporting Drumph, have never read a book or seen a movie. The orange faced tyrant is a 1-dimensional Villian. Yet millions voted and still support him. I have 0 Fs for when they lose their farms. I only wished I believed in a Hell for them to burn in.

Giving up Amazon has made me reconnect and discover little small business shops. Better quality and the prices are equitable. Back-to-school shopping was fun this year and my child and I discovered the most delicious everything sourdough bread we would’ve missed had we not shunned Amazon.

I think it’s time the Texan Capitol move to Temple or Waco and let Austin and suburbs become the 51st state.

Gen Z and Alpha are incredible. I love working with these young adults and kids. They are so woke and tolerant of diversity. US govt sucks right now, but they can’t hold back the wave these young people will force. Trump’s Nazis have not and cannot create another Hitler’s Youth.

Stop feigning surprise that Christians are once more on the wrong side of history. When have they ever been on the right side. Track record: Dark ages, Witch hunts, slavery, anti-feminist movement, colonialism, genocide, Spanish Inquisition, anti-science, Facsism, Divine Right, etc.

I cut out people, including family, who support Trump. If someone supports a rapist, I cut them out. I had a cousin who accused me of choosing politics over family when I cut her out after her pro-Trump statements. I told her I chose humanity over hate. No regrets.

Working with neurodivergent patients, only to realize you’re also neurodivergent. The world, as perceived, makes so much more sense.
