US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky.

Block on sight.

Protect your digital space.

Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them.

The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings.

These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate.

Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

Thanks! 😊

bluesky got me hooked by showing me posts by people I like and follow on purpose

"It’s essential that autistic people, regardless of age, have a way to communicate. Spoken words should not be valued above other methods, & AAC should never be taken away by parents, teachers, or caregivers. For many autistic people, using alternatives to speech is not a choice – it’s a lifeline."

Thank you, I'm sure I will! You have a great trip too, in case I don't have a chance to say it later! 😊

Thank you! 😊

Cheers! 😊

Thank you!

I'm off to Berlin soon. Any tips of awesome places that aren't usually mentioned when you plan a visit there? 🤗 #Berlin

Been wondering the same. Why a wave this time?

A brief thread on alt-text.

Alt text is descriptive text that conveys the meaning of an image. It's designed to make visual content accessible to people with vision disabilities. When a person uses assistive technology such as a screen reader, the screen reader will read the onscreen text aloud 1/7

Yeah, it's soo good! 🤩

Worth sharing again! #BIPOC #ActuallyAutistic #StarterPack

NT egocentric bias gaslighting examples:

'If you cared, you would have remembered'
'You can do [some interesting activity] for several hours so don't tell me you can't concentrate, you are just lazy'
'You are too sensitive'

Hey, no spoilers! 😁 Gonna watch the new season soon, can't wait!

Reposting an image of an "ideas meeting". ALT: Person with a pen ready to write on a flip chart says "don't think about it, just say it". There are six people sitting around a table, one of them says "fuck you".

I was looking for events in Finland. I think they just haven't been registered here.

Good luck! 💕

When I (Ryan) think about all the money Autism Speaks rakes in while Autistic-led organizations like ours fight for scraps, I feel justice sensitivity roil through me body and mind. I feel the injustice out to my nerve endings and to the depth and breadth a soul can take.

I've got nice earrings from you 🥰 I keep meaning to post a pic of them.. #ADHD 😬

I am a craftswoman from 🇺🇦Ukraine, I create handmade jewelry, but my products go unnoticed. I put my heart and soul into it, but there are almost no views and orders🥺

Please share, leave comment, or make a order, it will be a huge help!
I'm waiting for you on Etsy or DM📩

A new start after 60: I realised I had autism – and suddenly my life made sense. I have never been so happy After decades of loneliness and depression, Cathleen Caffrey had come to think of herself as a bad person. Then she learned about others who had struggled to fit in …

Nice article about someone realising they are autistic in later life.

Ahh yes, those awful things. Thank god!

A Black child’s meltdown is seen as aggression 😕
A white child’s meltdown is seen as a cry for help 🙂‍↔️
This double standard costs lives, opportunities, and dignity.
Listen to Black autistic voices.
