They can try to tell you who you are, how you can behave, what you can do, who you love, what you can say - but they can’t tell you what to think.
It’s those thoughts that cause revolutions #PrideIsProtest

Netanyahu has shown once and for all that he and his government are simply pawns of the American State.
No independent thinking whatsoever, just lap dogs.
In this case, it’s a good thing. Peace maybe can be achieved (for the short term) to the Iranian and Israeli people.

At this moment, I feel totally unsupported. I feel angry and disappointed at these who are meant to support me for putting their leisure and fun ahead of my basic supports needs. I know that this feeling will pass. That it’s more nuance than that. But right now that’s how I feel.

When I did an internship in diagnostics regarding high functional autism, I was surprised to learn that the department was having trouble with persons who were scoring high on narcissism or antisocial traits trying to fake being on the spectrum. Given this excellent article, it makes even more sense
So, Mu$k is appropriating what he and his dudebros consider a geek-chic label- Asperger's- because it sounds better than sociopathy. Got it. #PsychSky #PsychSciSky #autistic #Aspergers #personalitydisorder #sosickofhim

the evolutionary purpose of autism is so 45 year olds who are severed from the human spirit and experiencing prolonged ego death can hear a 3yo on the bus sincerely say "indeed, one might refer to me as an expert on many matters" before speaking about dinosaurs for 30 minutes and find it kinda cute
