The reality of Kavanaugh stops: American citizens dragged, tackled, beaten, tased, and shot by immigration agents. Citizens held in the rain while in their underwear. A pregnant citizen's door blown off while Kristi Noem watched. Important story by @nicolefoy.bsky.social of @propublica.org

calling autism a “tragedy” and saying that there should be fewer autistic people are eugenicist talking points. Everyone who opposes such views also needs to recognize the ways in which everyday ableism left the door wide open for a person like RFK Jr.

the most important thing to remember when you see eugenicists who don’t believe that autistic people should exist rambling about “the autism epidemic” is not that they’re wrong about the “cause” (although they are absolutely wrong about it); it’s that they are eugenicists

Rewatching Bob’s Burgers and catching a background melody in the first episode where he’s looking at his family that’s refrained in a poignant moment in the movie when we see his mom for the first time is a really lovely little musical Easter egg. 💙

Getting to tell loved ones about the ‘94 album “Kermit Unpigged” this week has been a gift. I didn’t realize my siblings and I had listened to it so much that I still know almost every word. Honestly the perfect intro to Ozzy Osbourne, Jimmy Buffett, and other musicians as a kid.
