Got super lucky on this (and alt text is so important!)

The American Flag Was Actually Sewn in Part By A Teenage Black Girl A little-known fact about our country's most prominent symbol.

Grace Wisher, a 13-year-old black girl who was an indentured servant, is often overlooked in the storytelling of the nation’s most prominent visual emblem, the American flag, which has caused much debate throughout history.

If only we had warned folks before the election that the real plan wasn’t border security…it was mass deportation in the interior, federalizing the National Guard, ripping people out of homes, families, jobs, and schools.

Oh wait…we did.

darth, look at the fine fuzzy frens I found on a fern frond

My home of Missoula just voted to establish the pride flag as an official government flag of the city, thereby circumventing the state's asinine pride flag ban. 🏳️‍🌈

Missoula is once again showing how to fight back against policies that seek to erase the LGBTQ community.

I’ll never get over how, in an era when women’s rights and status are being attacked and eroded in law and culture alike, we were incessantly told that it was boys and men whose suffering we needed to attend to.

Don't forget, Lovaas "founded" conversion therapy for both gays AND autistics. We are facing national registries of autistic people; perhaps banning autistic conversion therapy (ABA) needs more attention

Saw it yesterday thinking it was leaving, may have to go again!

Yeah, the cognitively gifted autistics were unfortunately named after him, which is why we don't use that description any longer. Both trump and jr have said that autistic people with ID should be institutionalized. It's been eugenics and de-humanization from the very beginning.

An easy way to understand autism is "intense world" theory. (An over-active nervous system results in huge sensory challenges.) Autistic people often have comorbids, & Jr 's obsessed w/ autistics who have intellectual disability. btw, the same population sent to their death by Hans Asperger...

What, are you busy, ho?

will delete mine too 💜

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

A humorous and sarcastic joke" Q: what are your thoughts on Elon's hand gesture A: This poor guy. So much undeserved hate. I'm sure it's hard navigating social stuff while being on the autism spectrum. I think he should write a book about navigating those difficulties, he could call it "My Struggle" or something.

for all my #autistic fam! 🫠

RIP to the legend who has been warping my brain since the 80s

great kids book! ("I Don't Care" by Colin West)

I call this "chaos gardening"! and the critters love it too

Short walks throughout the day. Dogs bond through pack behavior, so you leading him on a walk is a very natural way to assure him everything is ok. Take treats and reward each time he pays attention to your voice and movements.

little story about some 80s kids: He liked Rush, she liked Journey, but together they found the Talking Heads! 40 yrs later, we still have our personal faves, but the last concert we saw together was Missy Elliott (my choice). It really can work out 💜

The United States is not going to experience authoritarianism in spite of our political system.

The United States is going to experience authoritarianism because of our political system.

We do not have the best version of democracy in the world. We have one of the most outdated versions.

Sweet dreams!
