Oh, it turns out I figured out what to do with all of my anger! It’s a huge, free essay on whiteness and boundaries and why I spent all of yesterday bopping white liberal racism on the head. www.patreon.com/posts/108254...

I’m actually still very angry about this and I’m not sure how I’m going to deal with it, but absolutely none of my coping strategies will include bullying white marginalized people because I’m actually interested in progress

It still cracks me up when people act like more autistics are trans/nonbinary because we have succumbed to peer pressure 😂 Have you tried to get an autistic to do something they don't want to do?? Enjoy that sisyphean task. We toss gender away because it makes zero sense.

I'm gonna keep posting this piece over and over again. It didn't get much traction when it was first published, but bsky has the juice. (And thanks to everyone who has read and shared it so far!) "Tear gas" is a chemical weapon that should be banned.
