The number of ppl that I chose to associate w/ growing up that, in hindsight, exhibited traits of autism and/or ADHD should have been a big clue I might be #AuDHD. I always seemed to fit in best with the misfits which I assumed was based on our shared misfitdom, but I think it goes deeper than that.

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe a judging god does exist. A just god will be far more impressed by my attempt to live a good life, helping others when I could, trying to, in some small way, leave this place better than I found it, than whether I recited some magic spell or knew her by a particular name. 3/3

And frankly, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else, I don't care how others choose to get through their days. Look, I didn't ask to be born and soon I'll die. That's a pretty heavy concept. And we all need to find a way to come to terms with that. 2/3

I'd say I'm an agnostic, but instead of believing that man can't know whether god exists, I don't care. I don't think it's important. How you act during your time here is far more meaningful. 1/3

The most interesting thing about the EU “deal” is that the US president, a 34X felon who was found guilty of sexual abuse, is trying to cover his other wrongdoings by pardoning a convicted sex offender and child sex trafficker.

Welcome to America; where our president is publicly saying nice things about, giving immunity to, and suggesting a possible pardon for a well-connected child sex trafficker. But I’m sure he’s got a good reason.

Does Maxwell get a deal from DOJ if she implicates Trump? Not a chance in hell. Does Maxwell get a deal from DOJ if she exonerates Trump? Probably. She knows both things very well. She’s a criminal & a liar given incentive by DOJ to lie to benefit herself. Release the files.

We're racing towards fascism in America. People who tell you to calm down or still do a "both sides" framing should be ignored moving forward. Don't even waste your time with them. Organize and resist. Local, state, national level.

I think people aren't describing the Emil Bove corruption adequately. He blew off an order from a judge SO THAT he could send hundreds of mostly innocent men to a concentration camp, based on false claims of gang ties.

Stephen Miller spent millions of federal dollars to do a "show of force" in a quiet Los Angeles public park while the administration tells Texas it doesn't have the money to help them handle this nightmare. I'm really hoping to see some newspapers/elected officials state this obvious point.

There was never an “Epstein List.” Every single person who is deeply familiar with the case has always known that. Attorneys representing Epstein victims told me that. But here’s the issue: on Fox News earlier this year, Attorney General Pam Bondi said she had the list on her desk to review.

that's something for which the principles of capitalism are well suited - there are a large number of festivals featuring a ton of acts these days, so there's probably a pretty good demand for something that can speed up the transition between bands. 2/3
