#ActuallyAutistic, PTSD, metastatic cancer, Ohioan, if someone finds my executive function please return it. Find me on the doors in election season, doing what I can the rest of the year. @Chain_Lube on the bird app.

My reality check bounced again & the overdraft charges are ridiculous.

White cishet femme (she/her) but doing my best to center more marginalized perspectives. I mostly follow back, but not if you don't add alt/text to images. No porn, thx.

AIPAC has spent $12 million in just two congressional races. Joe Biden notices even if the media doesn’t.

@mondoweiss @palestine @israel But isn't nearly all their money that goes to Democrats, directed toward electing de facto Republicans in primaries? Because in the only races I'm aware of, they're heavily supporting the Republicans for the general election.

I've been trying to understand what it means that an autistic brain is bombarded with so much information. We spent some time at our summer cottage and I think I got some insight in this.

Instead of seeing the lake in front of my eyes, everywhere I looked I saw a detail. Its size would vary but it would still be a detail. A swan there, its partner there, no leaves on that tree yet, what a cool pattern on the small waves, what does it look like when I move my eyes this way, or that way, a car on the opposite shore, the shadow of the tree, I wonder what seagulls those are etc. A new detail with every single glance.

At the same time my attention tried to keep track of the dog and listened to birds singing and bumblebees flying around.

Now I wonder what it feels like just to see the lake.

@alexisbushnell @roknrol @Zumbador @melindrea @LehtoriTuomo @actuallyautistic Oh yes! It's been a very long time since college, but most of my essays began with a PHRASE and built outward from there.
