Because I’m autistic, people assume I have no brain, heart, or soul.
I do have them.
But after a lifetime of being told I was selfish and creepy, my brain, heart, and soul are broken.
I’ll never fully heal.
What healing I can get, I can never provide myself.
I’ll always need help.

Tonight must be the predictor of a blue tsunami so strong that we get a supermajority in Congress.
At which point we finally take down Trump and Vance in one fell swoop and promote a Dem Speaker to the White House to begin the work of eliminating all traces of Trump forever.

By now my coworkers should realize that if they’re gonna ask me why I’m single, they should prepare for me to trauma dump and challenge them to set me up with someone, just to prove that I’m not at all attractive.

Guess I shouldn’t be surprised the old landlord is only returning, like, 15% of my old deposit.
The way they worded it, I thought they were falsely charging for smoke damage (I don’t smoke)
But…seriously? To repaint the entire thing, you’re gonna take it out of my deposit?
Lost a star there.

Ah, comp titles. The bane of many authors' query letters - they're tricky to choose and what if there isn't anything out there like your book anyway? What if that's the whole point? Buckle up, more @keslupo.bsky.social advice incoming. 🧵

OMG. Trump tripped on the steps of Air Force One. By his own standards, he’s not fit to be President. He mocked Biden for this exact thing.
Now it’s his turn.

Canada’s had a great day in its history.
Now, what I hope to see is Carney and Canada remembering that liberal states, cities, and voters are and will always be friends and allies.
Keep Trump elbowed up (and Vance too, whenever Trump finally strokes out and off the planet).
