Democrats should go, wait until Donald is at the podium, and the second he starts speaking, one by one, quietly get up, turn their backs on him, and walk out. Very solemnly.
He cares more about crowd size than keeping Americans alive, so that seems like an excellent way to get under his thin skin.

To all trans people outside the US including US citizens.
DO NOT GET IN THE US.
Trans people are barred from entry. They can arrest you.
If you can provide shelter or asylum, please do it.
We need community more than ever.
Stay safe.

If Dr Richardson says drop everything and read, we need to. Scary, yes. But needs to be read, NOW!
Please, everyone, drop what you’re doing and read this:
I go to @timothysnyder.bsky.social and @hcrichardson.bsky.social for historical perspective and contemporary context about the dystopia we're experiencing. Snyder's post today has both, plus real actionable guidance. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Super annoyed that this feed is full of pages I'm not following. Had hoped it would just be my friends and pages I've opted into.

#Autism is generally unrecognised in #ageing people.
#Diagnosis or self-identification as #Autistic can help us to make sense of life, develop a positive identity, and self-advocate.
The assumption that we don’t need support because we’ve got by without it is mistaken.

Being prepared for #perimenopause can help a lot - I had no idea what was going on when mine began. I didn’t know I was #Autistic back then either.
I’ve been doing research on Autistic #menopause with colleagues (two more papers are due out soon) please see: www.AutisticMenopause.com
