Iβm officially a professional actor/playwright now, which is wild. Iβm back with Roots Touring next week for a night of queer climate stories from local artists. Details below π
To gauge how itβs βworking,β one would have to be clear on what the actual work is, which is not helping to educate children but rather to imbed these systems in a way that they cannot be removed, establish them as a source of truth, and destabilize labor.
And from behind the paywall:
"There Is No Safe Word
How the best-selling fantasy author Neil Gaiman hid the darkest parts of himself for decades"
"Editorβs note: This story contains content that readers may find disturbing, including graphic allegations of sexual assault"

The image is from a "Transparency Center" document and lists guidelines regarding acceptable and prohibited content for insults. It mentions: 1. Insults about: Character, such as cowardice, dishonesty, criminality, and sexual promiscuity or immorality. Mental characteristics, including but not limited to accusations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, as well as unsupported comparisons among politically correct (PC) groups based on inherent intellectual traits. 2. Highlighted section: The document allows allegations of mental illness or abnormality when tied to gender or sexual orientation, referencing political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality. It also acknowledges the non-serious use of terms like "weird."
Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

The fun thing about having cPTSD from being perceived as Not Normalβ’οΈ (read: #ActuallyAutistic) is being triggered by someone and completely losing the ability to mask, then being repeatedly re-traumatised as a result!

How many books can you buy before retail therapy becomes less cost-effective than actual therapy? Asking for a friend
I know it comes from a place of ignorance rather than intentional ableism, but autism doesnβt have a gradient of intensity, it is a matrix of traits that present in varying ways across different people. Please, STOP using terms like βmildβ or βsevereβ - theyβre harmful & misleading
I say βmixβ but Iβve also heard people say βmuhxβ

Yesterdayβs #AMonsterADay and todayβs monster are the best of friends.
This is number 113 and 114.
These are so cute!
Letter addressed to money box, radio 4, Salford?, Manchester
Absolute top marks to Royal Mail for getting this letter to us. I particularly like βSalford?β
I would like to say a word or two about lab coats.
I have frequently heard that chemists should "always" choose 100% cotton lab coats.
It's true, cotton lab coats are the best choice if you're going to work around open flame.
HOWEVER.
Thank you! π
In a shocking turn of events, my bestie (who is also AuDHD) and I have both managed to get completely packed with an entire day to spare
I am doing packing-adjacent activities (working out anything I need to pick up last minute)
Attempting to pack for a holiday. Please send dopamine and scream at me in about an hour once Iβve stopped packing bc I got distracted and/or bored π

A set of railroad tracks with parts of them set on fire as a commuter train prepares to cross.
It has snowed in Chicago and YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS! Time to remind everyone that we light our train tracks on fire to prevent the switches from freezing.
Companies will waste 84 minutes and 45 seconds of generated footage to get 15 seconds of uncanny valley and STILL get humans to noticeably edit it instead of just hiring animators.
Dana Goldberg post: I have shared the same bathroom with Sarah McBride on several occasions, and she never once made me uncomfortable. She did however help me fix my makeup. That congresswoman knows how to blend her foundation, which is more than I can say about Donald Trump.
They say the cover up is always worse.
Script for my half of the species to memorize in case of encountering a transphobe actively transphobing in a public restroom:
"It's a bathroom. She's here to pee, same as us, and you're the one being weird. Just let her get about it and on her way."
Made a starter pack for those of you that like a laugh. Highly personal but all solid gold. Do suggest others I should add

Hey you, buy the precut fruit and veggies, no, I know itβs not cheaper, I can read, but youβre not going to go home and cut them and put them away like you said. Youβre actually going to NOT eat them if theyβre not pre-cut so youβre actually wasting money. You are welcome, I love you too.
FAMILY, use this to block bots & more off your skyline.
Thank me later.
