It’s silly how many of you underestimate the intelligence of autistic people.
I’m amazed at how yall sincerely believe an autistic adult doesn’t know the danger of climbing in a lions enclosure at a zoo.

In Gary, Indiana, without refrigeration insulin supplies are being spoiled, and people who depend on oxygen cannot pump it from their tanks due to lack of electricity. A public health disaster.

It’s Juneteenth! I am out of work due to a heart condition and depend on side work to stay housed. I had a few gigs that I was counting on fall through this month and have been kind of fucked. Help a black lesbian pay their rent pls!

Queer disabled people have been begging for Pride to be accessible for decades. Pride is supposed to be inclusionary. By excluding high risk and disabled people, you're excluding a group that you can join at any time. Disability is interconnected to everything. Please include us.

We do.
Society just doesn't listen to the Black disabled community, who have been sounding off about the abuse of Black disabled children.
The double-headed monster of racism and ableism is a beast we are constantly trying to defeat.

Say it with me: Disabled people deserve to live even if they can’t work.

I really hate the “no person who works a full-time job should live in poverty” discourse. It should simply be that nobody deserves to live in poverty. We have to let go of the idea that we work in exchange for our worth. People are innately worthy and deserving of the basics.

I’m in desperate need of funds to make rent this month. I got a new job but I’m spending a lot of money on transportation since my car still isn’t running yet. My goal is $900 for rent and utilities.

You have to choose.
You can have ChatGPT, or you can have water.
You can have Claude, or you can have clean soil.
You can have Grok, or you can have a survivable future.
You cannot have both.
The vast data centers that power artificial intelligence guzzle huge amounts of energy but they also have another alarming impact, according to new research. They are creating “heat islands,” warming the land around them by up to 16 degrees Fahrenheit, and making life hotter for more than 340 million people. cnn.it/4rZSiG5
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The study (not peer-reviewed) missed the explanation for their data. Buildings/parking lots increase satellite-measured surface temp. The study appears to have simply detected that buildings were constructed where fields used to be, not that data centers are putting out heat.

Hello! It’s #BlackHistoryMonth and I’m raising money to help keep me afloat. The ICE presence in Minneapolis is preventing me from working and I have to make rent & get groceries. Goal is $1000

Guys. 🥺
I’ve done it. My coauthor and I submitted the manuscript of our book today.
We are writing the first ever self help guide for black women with ADHD.
I’ve been working on this for 2 and a half years! Through grief, uncertainty, heartbreak, transitions. I’ve done it.
