Libraries aren't just books. They provide gathering places, free internet, and programs like story hours and classes and films. Using your library demonstrates to your local government its importance to your community and can affect funding decisions.

Autistic people aren’t “bad at following instructions”
Many autistic people are actually excellent at following instructions
The problem?
👉 The instructions are unclear, vague or inconsistent
What’s important is:
- clear steps
- clear expectations
- clear outcomes
- clear deadlines

PSA to neurotypicals - asking “why” is not arguing. “Here is how a thing is.” “Why?” Is not an argument. It’s a request for more information. Why is the thing that way? Teach me.

I’m about to start spinning yarn again, and listening to all the audiobooks I’ve been wanting to while I do. For my own well being, and no other reason.
Highly recommend to other autistic people with any interest in it, btw.

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

“You’re so brave!”
“We look past your disability!”

In case you missed this, the BBC edited a historian's speech about Trump to remove the claim that he's "the most openly corrupt president in US history." This came after Trump had threatened a $1 billion lawsuit.

Trump Angrily Threatened to Sue BBC. Then Things Took a Darker Turn.
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

Trump's Georgia election case has been dismissed, this is what happens when you take off the original prosecutor of the case and a lesser one takes their place. No amount of excuses can say I let him off and now he will not pay any consequences for his behavior. Georgia vote this prosecutor out.
