Theb K, ND (neurodivergent)

You are, sadly, correct. I wish folks would start using their brains again.

It seems some people are regretting their vote as they are now finding out they've been had. IMO, many were the victim of their own wilful ignorance. Some were taken in by operatives pretending to be one of them though.

I hated it, then went through a very brief period when I liked it, but now I hate it again 😂

I have yet to get out of phase 1 😂

The person (Kassiane Asasumasu) who coined the phrase neurodivergent had in mind being INclusive of different conditions, not EXclusive.

Trying to gatekeep what is and isn't considered being neurodivergent is directly going against the person who coined the word.

Above the text is a variant of an infinity symbol in calligraphy style, flicking from the centre into a heart shape. Faded into the centre behind the textbis a design of a barely visible celtic tree. Under the text is the credit to The Celtic Neurodivergent in smaller, slanted writing. To the bottom right is a small clip art of a women in blue standing apprehensively holding a mask in one hand, looking ashamed. In the bottom left is an image of a suited man with a question mark instead of facial features holding a mask on a stick slightly away from him face.

"Masking as an autistic person is like carrying the weight of a thousand unspoken words. A constant battle between fitting in, and staying true to oneself... a tiring dance of filtering your personality just to survive every social interaction."

Self identifying as autistic/ADHD is NOT harming people who have an official diagnosis

It does not take away the seriousness of "people who are *really* autistic/ADHD"

Being able to get assessed and get diagnosed is a privilege many people don't have

Subtitles aren’t just for deaf or hard of hearing players. They’re important for players in loud environments (who can’t use headphones), non-native speakers who rely on text to follow dialogue, and many neurodivergent folks who struggle to focus or process audio quickly. Just to mention few.

NBC News: The president-elect has promised to roll out a number of policies targeting trans people on his first day in office, including a new federal definition of sex as binary and assigned at birth.

The American people did not elect Trump and the GOP to focus on genitals and culture wars. They wanted cheaper rent, groceries and gas. Which Republicans will fail to deliver.

Trump nominates Russ Vought for White House budget director once again Vought was one of the architects of the conservative agenda known as Project 2025 and served as budget director during President-elect Donald Trump's first term in office.

Amazing how easy it is for a country to uphold rule of law when it gives a s***

Trump is slipping farther and farther below 50%. He now leads by only 1.6%—and his vote advantage is under 2.5M. One of the narrower victories of the last 100 years of American politics, and any journalist or politico using the term mandate probably needs to retire from their profession immediately.

lol. I can relate because I also often have a hard time saying what I want to say within the limit.

I was barely using Twitter and then had all but forgotten about it by the time the muskrat took over. I hope to utilize this one more.

This is real.

I’m serious about this.

Who’s with me?

Saw it on FB. As I'm still trying to navigate this platform, I just now went to your profile and saw this here.

Thank you for this. I'm trying to remember all I want to follow but had not followed HuffPost but I am now.

I saw the comments on your post about deleting your account. You have some ... interesting friends.

Is there a polite/professional way to ask a supervisor, "Do you want me to be productive? Or do you want me to attend meetings?" Asking for a friend.

I realize that we are occasionally given to hyperbole about the untoward nature of politicians, but let me be clear: Matt Gaetz is a sex trafficking drug addicted piece of shit. He is abhorrent. His eyes are permanently rimmed with the red rings of chemical boosters. In person, he smells like overexposed Axe Body Spray and stale Astroglide. The fact that he boasted on the floor to multiple colleagues in the House of Representatives of his methods of crushing Viagra and high test Red Bull to maintain his erection through his orgiastic evenings is perhaps the least offensive of his many crimes against womanhood and Christian faith. The man has less principles than your average fentanyl addicted hobo. He likes them underage and he's not ashamed about it. Matt Gaetz isn't just your average extreme Florida MAGA Man, he's a hypocritical ass with the worst Botox money can buy, pursuing an ever-thinner nose and higher cheekbones at every opportunity like a Real Housewife gone mad for fillers. Every Republican in Washington has an opinion about Matt Gaetz, and 99 percent of those opinions are "Keep Matt Gaetz away from my wife/daughter/friend and anyone I care about."

Ben Domenech (The Federalist founder) didn’t think he would pick Gaetz and has some opinions… 😭
