Getting fed up with the algorithms again. I think now is a good time to try living here for a little bit.

It's official: if I can't land a job before April 15th I'll be forced to move back to Hawaii to live with family.

If anyone knows of any job openings in the operations / admin realm, please let me know. I'm desperate at this point.

Allistics judge you not by what you said, but by what they think you meant.

Autists judge you by what you said, only to learn that you didn't truly mean it.

Three updates:
1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it isβ€”this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent.

Anyone else's sensory sensitivities go into overdrive in humid climates? I'm on vacation and remembering why I shaved my head when I lived in Hawaii.

With an anti-vaccine, anti-science creep in charge of our health now, besides the fact we're all going to suffer through horrendous and preventable disease and illness, those of us on the spectrum are about to also suffer through a whole lot of atrocious opinions on autism.

Trump announced that he plans to sign an executive order next week to end the promotion of paper straws as an alternative to plastic ones. So much for the sea turtles.

For me, I feel emotional empathy very intensely, and cognitive empathy to a decent degree. The problem is that I don't know how to express empathy outwardly. I just kind of sit there feeling the feels.
