Am I alive, or did I die and end up in hell???
Am I alive, or did I die and end up in hell???
Sounded pretty legit to someone who has experience within an extremist faith. Nothing in this book shocked me….been there, seen that.
My conjecture is conservatives are mad people don’t like their bigotry, racism and call them out
The heartfelt, over the top tributes are so inappropriate but at least I know who to never speak to again.
I am horrified at the violence, yes, but equally horrified at how many people I know are posting sentimental tributes talking about how wonderful and wholesome he was. He was neither. He made lots of money villainizing people, dehumanizing them for inherent traits. Called himself a Christian…
Ok well which of these things was it ok for him to say? Which groups is it acceptable to marginalize and further make vulnerable? We’ll wait.
No one should be celebrating his death, nor violence. But most of us won’t miss his racism, bigotry, xenophobia, and misogyny.
Well you see Mr. Kirk was a wealthy influential white Christian (evangelical) man. So he matters. Not schoolchildren though. Not marginalized/vulnerable communities. But the con man who made a handsome living dehumanizing people for inherent characteristics, 2A is more important 🙄
Not all autistic people can do that. Even those that can, masking is exhausting and harmful.
My cool great uncle passed over a decade ago….thank goodness I have another very cool uncle now!
The fire alarm went off during my bar exam. For awhile. No one moved. Luckily it was a false alarm. The legal profession hazing is so intense I would have had to be ON FIRE to stop taking that test. There is surely a better way.
Well the current regime doesn’t believe in facts or history, im sure they think they are TOTALLY different, while the secret police snatch brown people off the streets and put them in foreign torture prisons and build a concentration camp in Florida swampland in mere days….
Indeed - do not come to the US - no one is safe here.
She didn’t need to tell him, he’s not smart but surely knew based on his own disgusting actions….
Possibly is a pipe dream….he did.
The thing is, they are trying not to lose their jobs by not leaving…..completely illegal just like nearly everything else this corrupt joke of an administration does.
More like informed him people were starting to notice/believe that he was besties with a child trafficker who mysteriously died in prison….obvi he already knew he was in there bc he is guilty AF.
“Told him” - he always knew.
The corrupt Ohio GOP legislature at it again….
Hardly bipartisan when the GOP House members voted no on the release….
I’ll take the lizard people theory over whatever TF we have right now.
Cowards, complicit in the destruction of this county
Four autism subtypes *for that particular sample group* which was wildly non-diverse.
Took SSRIs all 3 pregnancies…..and yet my Autistic kids are Autistic bc I AM AUTISTIC. My meds kept me functioning and healthy and ALIVE.
That’s what I say when I’m too tired/burnt out/dysregulated to be witty!
I’m an autistic mom of autistic kids. I have sympathy for people raising autistic kids w/o much/any support. I do not have sympathy for parents raising autistic kids that make it their whole identity (looking at y’all, non autistic autism moms), buy into misinformation/cures, hate autistic adults.
Learning I’m autistic saved my life. It’s been 6 years and I’m so much happier and healthier.
I usually hit back with something so dark or traumatic about just *existing* that people either take me seriously or never speak to me again - often the latter. Their loss, my win.
I’m an attorney, as was my late father in law - my (non attorney) husband would raise hell w/ an army of legal professionals behind him. And sue the pants off the state. A privilege most women wouldn’t be afforded - which makes me furious.
I don’t cry. I litigate.
what is wrong with you? Currently alive but imagine the trauma of being the kid harvested from a dead mom by government mandate. Messed up. Traumatic.
Logic is hard for you, I get that now. Why is the government mandating a dead woman being used as an incubator ok? What right did the state have to use her body past death? I don’t hate babies, I have 3, would have had 4. I hate forced birthers. Women are humans w/ rights - fetuses have no rights.
So you’re saying a brain dead woman kept alive on machines by government mandate was alive? The baby was delivered bc her body was rotting and failing. You conflate me opposing women being used as incubators by the state as wishing death upon a child - you’re deranged.
Can confirm there is no support for adults.I just don’t think the cause research is worth it - research should be focused on autistic priorities - but folks don’t listen to us, ever really.
I’m an autistic mom of autistic kids. Trying to keep us all alive and them less traumatized than me. My current tactics, whatever that means, are speaking my lived experience, which echoes that of many, many autistic people. So wtf ever. I’m not trying to impress anyone, I’m sick of misinformation
Not. Fast. Enough.
Good. Now they ought to pull the crazy new unconstititional abortion crap they are proposing!
As an autistic mom of autistic children, I know my genes caused my kids to be autistic. Cause research is so often done by folks who want to eradicate us, which is impossible. How about research on how to HELP AND SUPPORT US???
And you are? How much research have you done on fetal viability and abortion laws? I wrote a thesis on it in law school. Fetuses don’t have rights before viability and should not.
Yes! I try to be active (when not exhausted or in pain or using my little energy to work/care for kids), I eat anything I am able (b/c fed is best) but it’s largely rice and veggies in the microwave, I take a vitamin, I go outside. Still disabled! Still fine w/ it mostly, too bad folks don’t like us
Well I just got done saying all the swears….I live in Ohio, of course our backwards ass state makes ADs invalid in pregnancy. I probably can’t have any more kids but now I feel like I have to get at my Dem state rep about this. Shit, I will draft that legislation myself if needed.
It’s not overly simplistic - folks think you walk into your pediatrician and say my kid has autism and get a diagnosis, and that is absolutely NOT it. Y’all idiots think autistic people wants excuses, when really its support/acceptance. It’s not about gatekeeping - it’s about eradication/compliance
Kind of like announcing all the cruel, anti science shit about autism during Autism Acceptance Month. The cruelty is always the point.
I have a tattoo, I wonder which gang I’m in??? Will the government tell me? I’m dying to know
BRB, revising my will and advanced directives to try to ensure the state can’t use my corpse as an incubator…
Anyone talking about over diagnosis as a real thing doesn’t understand autism or the diagnostic process or criteria. They should self educate or shut up.
I’d like to know what healthy diet will reverse my brain injury. Or what diet will prevent me from needing to access affordable healthcare for the rest of my life. It’s almost like it doesn’t work like that!
I was born with a disability and at 40, am multiply disabled. I will never understand why people hate disabled folks so much.
“Fully viable” - now you’re a NICU doctor? Get real.
Living women birth babies. This child was harvested from a corpse, at the direction of the government. Sickening.
No one is wishing this baby death - but it’s odds of survival at under 2lbs, born, nay, harvested from a corpse cannot be good. Nevermind the trauma of being a state-forced birth from your dead mom.
Imagine being proud about torturing children into compliance, giving no thought to their actual well being. These people do not see Autistic as even being human beings. What a power trip.
I find this hard to believe when medical debt and foreclosure are generally much more costly.
General knowledge of the Constitution - particularly that everyone in this country gets due process. (Well they’re supposed to…)
“We’re better than everyone” is my guess for the standing argument. So, none.
This! PP saw me same or next day for birth control and my very first pregnancy. They don’t even want low income folks to get Pap smears and STD testing?! Of course not bc the cruelty is the point.
The US is not ICE’s property. Sickening.
He’s just mad he doesn’t have a chance with any woman, and blaming it on birth control.
DUH?!?
Those lawyers should be absolutely embarassed. Shame.
The USA is cosplaying as a real nation. Imagine taking away food and healthcare from millions and being proud of yourself. Embarassing and cruel.
What he actually said is CHRISTIANITY is too important…if he meant religion, we’d have accurate, holistic, secular education in religious studies. The 10 commandments folks want indoctrination, not education.
This autistic lawyer will defend you pro bono. Because these are my sentiments exactly.
Oh right, this is surely about “mindfulness” and not what it’s really about 🙄
Oh FFS…..it’s genetic. Study something useful like how to improve autistic well being instead of another bunk study to blame mothers!
RFKJ says another stupid, untrue thing. That’s the headline.
HHS lies. Again. That should be the headline.
Maybe instead they could make this place into somewhere worth loving? But they’re making it much worse instead.
This modern autistic lady would like to sign up for the buckets of benzos plan, please. I’m running out of coping mechanisms for the current reality.
This autistic lawyer has the same worry. My diagnosis is private, not in my records or insurance. I worry about my kids - I would do literally anything to protect them, but I shouldn’t have to. We have a right to exist!
The number one thing this autistic parent of autistic kids wants folks to know is that I do NOT want myself or my kids on any list or registry! Never! This is the stuff of eugenics and genocide.
Even if the MMR did cause autism (IT DOESNT), an autistic child is far better than a dead child. Sincerely, a vaxxed autistic parent of vaxxed autistic children.
Absolutely unhinged.
This autistic lawyer loves to see it.
Except they’re not. They are going to say it’s vaccines. Which it’s also not. It’s genetic, people just don’t like that answer.
Stop murdering disabled kids!
I hope the family sues the pants off the police.
“Despite child suicide warning” - this is so cruel. Stay out of folks’ healthcare!
We have two options: 1) Dems get their act together, do the work, stop being lazy, self-interested cowards, put forth good candidates/policies + voters get to the polls OR 2) Things get very very dramatically worse. More GOP power takes us deeper into fascism. May the odds be ever in your favor
As an attorney, I took an oath to the Constitution. I owe no loyalty to any President or other official. Large firms who tout themselves as the elite practitioners in the profession trample the Constitution by refusing to challenge unconstitutional threats and actions. An embarrassment.
The only mass trafficking that appears to be happening is being done by ICE.
They WANT people to die, they’re trying a million different ways to kill us.
It means criticizing anyone in the regime who claims to be Christian. They don’t want their authority or insane, illegal actions questioned.
Nope. Except Jews, but only insomuch as the regime claims to care about anti-semitism, which is actually just code for don’t criticize the King re: Israel/don’t defend Palestinian lives.
Jesus is too woke now. The regime wants people to suffer, none of that weak love and compassion stuff!
Pro Trump/MAGA = true Christians Any criticism of the regime = not Christians/not protected/eligible to go to El Salvador torture gulag This is just a policy to quash any criticism of the “right” Christians, esp in the regime, and enact punishment.
We won’t. That would require the GOP to grow a spine and some morals. They won’t.
Parents already have all the rights they need. Children do not - stop treating children like property.
This is murder. Cops murdered a disabled kid. Again.
Four cops with guns vs. a disabled teenager with a knife, and a fence between them. That’s what happened.
It’s to prevent transgender students from having even a shred of dignity or even one adult they can trust at school.
Women. Disabled people.
People can’t afford food here but thank goodness showers might be marginally better or something….
Glad to see him return. Millions wasted on the dumb stadium fight, but the state will spend $600 million to help build the proposed stadium, while defunding libraries and public education. Legislature won’t fund feeding school kids, but hey, let’s build a dome for our donors. Unreal.
Some judges and MANY lawyers are foresaking their oaths. It is horrifying.
The US shouldn’t be the Olympics venue anymore anyways. It’s not safe to travel to this country. It’s not even safe to go in/out if you are a citizen.
The tech issues they are reporting on are related to politics, genius.
Women are not here to be breeding machines. We are human beings.
I see you have no idea how the refugee system works…
There is plenty of research and general scientific consensus that the biggest factor is genetics. Not following social norms is hardly the biggest problem for autistics - obviously we keep reproducing, as well as folks whose genetic combos produce autistic people.
