Good guys never have to tell you they are the good guys; you know they are the good guys by their actions.
Those who feel the need to tell you they are the good guys are never the good guys.

Please, for your brain and everyone that cares about you, wear a helmet. Even a simple bike commute can go bad unexpectedly. A helmet can save your brain and your life. I speak from experience and as someone that works with brain injuries

I like that autism is less stigmatized but I just overheard a few college students on the train discussing their autistic classmate in these soft tones like "...and she is JUST as smart as the rest of us"

Like my god I appreciate the sentiment but that is so patronizing lol

Autistic precision. People keep asking for examples of autistic needs. Here you go. Here's a really good example of an autistic need that most people don't understand.

Our brains don't just WANT precision. We NEED it.

There has never been any question about the immorality of the USA.
Ask any Black person.
Ask any Native American.

You may put a cross around your neck. But your behaviour determines your morals and values.

Not your words!
