The parody singer urge to eat it.

The 1500s kid urge to ask "Who wants to live forever?"

Shifting the mindset that accessibility benefits EVERYONE, not just people with visible need for assistance, really made me more of an advocate for accessibility.

Similar to how trans rights ends up being beneficial for non-trans people.

Please remember to take a little break.

And what still remains miraculous is how routinely they fail... because they *cannot* believe that freedom of thought is a more basic (and divine) state of being than their attempted control of it.

Even if you won gold, what would you do then?

Full makeup, of course. The only question is: Klingon or Trill?

Protect the Boundary Waters from Toxic Mining (UPDATED 2/11) ⭑ 5 Calls Updates February 11, 2026: The Senate may vote on H.J. Res 140 during the week of February 23rd. It only needs a simple majority of 50 votes to pass. …

I made myself a treat before calling everyone to tell them the Boundary Waters are more economically valuable (because of course they don't know there's any other kind of value) as a wilderness area than as a mine.

Now to have my treat and get my energy back. I hope you can do something similar.

Go Riley!

Looks to me like it makes the header stand out. Graphic design!

Life lessons from the book Dracula:
- Eat. You can't make progress unless you keep up your strength.

Please take a little time to take a break and go outside if you can. 🌿

Autistic burnout is frequently misread as loss of motivation.

But reduced output under chronic stress is a neurobiological response, not a moral one.

When cognitive resources are depleted, access to skills narrows.

That is physiology, not personality.

(More sarcasm:) And of course, the way autistic people are treated by others couldn't possibly be a problem. It's totally unreasonable to ask anyone else to just not be an outright jerk to the "weird" person in the building. Why should they be not-mean to someone who isn't *explicitly* their friend?

Stop the attacks on our right to vote Our voting rights, including our ability to vote-by-mail are under attack. On Feb 11, 2026, the House of Representatives passed the SAVE Act – which would make it much harder for citizens to regi...
