If #COP30 achieved anything, it was uniting Indigenous peoples and movements. Tens of thousands marched in Belém demanding land rights, a just transition, food sovereignty, and an end to Amazonian oil extraction.

CDC Website has been hacked!
Just kidding (sadly 😩)

Call Senator Bill Cassidy (202- 224-5824) and tell him to DO something! As the man (and MD!) who was the deciding vote in confirming the 🧠 🪱 that is destroying public health, he is also culpable!

When I was in school (a long, long time ago), I was told being quiet was unacceptable. Then they started grading on it. Things like raising my hand during class, working in groups, giving presentations, etc. That's when I started failing classes and my love for school turned to hate.
Internalized autism is being held to neurotypical standards because you look completely "normal," failing to meet those standards because you're literally disabled... and being told incessantly your entire life that your behavior is unacceptable and you should have known better.
