reading Shogun by Clavell. the non-description of the sex with Kiku and the fisherman's son is honestly just confusing. like, it doesn't describe what people actually do

@mthx congrats! 🎉🐣

He is risen
#StarTrek

Star Trek The Search for Spock scene. Our Lord and Savior Spock is pictured in a white robe. He stands surrounded by his shipmates who are all older here than they were in the TV show. Sulu is touching Spock's chest for some reason and he's smiling. Uhura, Chekov, Scotty, and Bones also all seem thrilled to see him. Despite being surrounded by friends, Spock is staring only at Kirk, for obvious reasons.

Hi.

Autistic person here

RFK Jr. didn’t “misspeak” when he called autism an “epidemic” that “dwarfs COVID.”
That’s eugenicist rhetoric.

We’re not a disease—we’re people.

The spectrum includes those who need support and those building the future. Diagnoses have expanded because understanding has improved—not because autism is “spreading.”

Dehumanizing us is not health policy. It’s dangerous

#actuallyautistic

Headline RFK Jr. calls autism an epidemic:
It ‘dwarfs COVID’

Gathering up undesirables and putting them in camps? You definitely want someone with brain worms helping the establishment do that
