The final blog post in my series about middle school! Because of running track, 9th grade ended well. Why, then, 29 years later, did I need to contact 2 people to get closure?

Another blog post in my series about middle school. With all the hell I went through, did 9th grade at least END on a positive note? Actually... yes:

New post on my autism blog: "Sober Reflection about Sober Reflection". Let's talk about the many times I found myself in sober reflection-- and my neurotypical counterparts didn't.

New blog post: "When School is a Systemic Failure."

New blog post. How does it feel when you are relentlessly bullied at school and your parents think you are exaggerating or overreacting?

Latest post on my autism blog. It's a followup to a previous one I wrote way back in the fall. If you start to read, you will see that there is a link to the previous installment. Please read that first. Otherwise, you'll be completely lost.

So I guess since there’s a large portion of the population that believes the Earth is flat then the shape of the Earth isn’t settled science.

I refuse to refer to him as “President Trump.” I just call him “Trump.”

I don’t think he has changed. In general I like him but I also acknowledge that for a very long time he’s had some problematic views.

Yeah, no. Sam Harris is in his 57s and he shares these views. It's not about mental decline.

Although, to be fair, I doubt he would think it's okay to force a minor to give birth. Not that it makes his view about transgender children any less reprehensible.

It's really alarming and disappointing how uninformed and unskeptical (is that a word?) he is about this issue.

If it was a mistake, all he’d have to do is say so, apologize for the misunderstanding, and that he condemns Nazism. So far, crickets.
