This isn't nearly what Ronald Reagan wanted and foresaw. Reagan, and Reaganites, wanted, and want, it dead. But!!! Trump is moving in a clear Reagan direction and this goal, the death of "government," or us, is now closer to completion than it ever has been.

I needed this reminder. Sometimes I just see that there IS alt text and figure that covers it. It doesn't always, though. I saw alt text of a photo of a flowing river that read, in its entirety: "river"

Alt text pro tip: For those of us who don't regularly NEED alt text? But demand and advocate for alt text?? ... Please always read the alt text in any image you boost. The amount of lazy, shitty, jokey, not actually alt text "alt text" out there is massive.

One of my favorite Fun Facts is that Garbage Pail Kids were created by Art Spiegelman, who would go on to write and illustrate Maus. I just love that the gross-out pun trading cards I was obsessed with as a kid and one of the most important graphic novels of all time were created by the same person.

Kidnapped, cut their hair, changed their names, forbade their native indigenous languages, forced them to attend religious schools where they were beaten sometimes to death. The ones who were fair skinned enough to be white-passing were sold/adopted. The ones who perished are still being found.

2. All The Democrats had to do was have even a modicum of a focus on Muslim-Americans or Palestinian-Americans and they chose to fully ignore, ridicule, and bury them. For Liz Cheney, Christian Zionists, Republicans, and cops. Then blame Palestinian and Muslim Americans for losing THIS election.

It's not. Lower case autistic is still appropriate for referring to any and all humans or human behaviors that are autistic. HOWEVER, I do pay attention to what folks are doing, and culturally I do prefer the capital A... but of course not every autistic person identifies as Autistic.
