Lindsay Douglas (they / them) (@enbyautieokie) My heart is a heavy, weeping thing. Endless in its repair. Black with festered tissue.

It Lived in My Cells Before It Lived in Language On late diagnosis, grief, and the language that arrived too late. What I found when I rewrote my Autism evaluation four years later.

Let's be clear.

If the Constitution only applies to certain groups, you don't actually like the USA.

You are a traitor.

Stop flying that big ass flag like it has anything to do with you.

Jon Hetherington (@jonhetherington) I hate having to ask for help, but I just found out that I have to pay $800 of a $1500 property tax bill due on February 17. Unfortunately, the people I live with arenโ€™t willing to split the bill in ...

My heart is very much in pain reading about two more #autistic children #murdered by their parents. #Otis and #Leon are two non verbal autistic teen boys that were murdered by their parents in a quadruple murder-suicide in #Australia.

No words. Only tears.

Is it bad enough now that everyone will do a general strike or nah?

I don't know which nonbinary person needs to hear this but it's not inherently feminine to want breasts.

And it's not inherently masculine to bind or desire a smaller chest at times.

So get that breast augmentation or chest reduction if you want, Them.

You are valid.

Whenever the rest of American citizens are actually ready to do a real protest like a general strike, ya'll let me know.

Because until then, we're not actually ready to end this tyranny.

Being Indigenous doesnโ€™t look one way.

I am proud to be Bodรฉwadmi.

Survival took many forms.

Erasure loves a stereotype.

Iโ€™m not anti-technology.

Iโ€™m anti-tech that ignores disabled people.

Ethical AI starts with accessibility, consent, and care.

Late diagnosis didnโ€™t change who I am.

It changed how much grace I give myself.

That alone has been life-altering.
