IriDas I have two autistic children and RFK Jr can just—well, something that‘s not for polite society. My kids are wonderful human beings and they deserve better than a society that already treats them poorly. 2w

ncsufoxes As a mom of Autistic child I see you & get you. Our Autistic son is almost 16. He‘s made our life more interesting. He‘s funny, smart, caring, compassionate, full of animal facts. Our 2 other kids have ADHD. RFK can suck a lemon. This man has no business anywhere near the department of health & human services . I worry about the long term damage that will be done to the Autism community. Luckily we‘re resilient & fierce advocates. 2w
kspenmoll @ncsufoxes Yes, resilient, fierce, strong! #seeusroar #resist #RFKsucklemons (edited) 2w

ncsufoxes Also Autism is not a tragedy & we are not broken families. Our kids are people that deserve a full & meaningful life just like anyone else. Also RFK should read the tagged book. Such a great book on the history of Autism & more. (edited) 2w

DogMomIrene Autistic people are marvels! RFKjr, not. My opinion of him? What @Chrissyreadit and @dabbe said! 2w
dabbe @DogMomIrene 🎯🩵🎯 2w
Centique I saw a news reel with that dreadful man making that comment and i thought both, how incredibly stupid you are old man, and also how incredibly hurtful. Where has he been that he does not know wonderful, amazing, autistic people? Please pass on to your son that most of the world knows better 💕 1w

News From Nowhere | Liverpool, United Kingdom (Bookstore)
post image

We went to Liverpool today to attend a protest in support of Trans Rights, so an after-protest visit to News From Nowhere was mandatory. I bought a book on the politics of mental health and a mug with a quote from living legend Kathy Burke:
"I love being Woke. It's much nicer than being an ignorant fucking twat." No argument from me!
I bought a couple of t-shirts from a shop up the road, too ??‍???‍♀️

Chrissyreadit i love everything about this post and your mug. 2w

sarahbarnes I‘ve been on the fence about this one, but the last sentence of that quote makes me very intrigued. 😆 2w

Johnny Tremain | Esther Forbes
post image

250 years ago today, the battle of Lexington and Concord occurred. Wonder what our forefathers would think now? My favorite line from JOHNNY TREMAIN, winner of the 1944 Newbery Medal and about the outbreak of said battle, is from James Otis as he's questioning all of the patriots as to why they were fighting: “We give all we have, lives, property, safety, skill...we fight, we die, for a simple thing. Only that a man can stand up.” #resist ✊🏻💙✊🏻

Amiable “Johnny Tremain” is one of those books that I didn‘t fully appreciate until I was an adult. Even as a kid growing up 2 hours from where the Revolution began and with a family history that includes ancestors who enlisted in CT militia regiments. We read it in 4th grade and I hated it. Wonder if it would resonate more in classrooms today? (edited) 1mo
dabbe @Amiable I never read it as a child, but I taught it in 7th grade. Maybe 4th grade was a tad to young, because the 7th graders liked it. They needed lots of help to get through it, especially with the vocabulary, but that part I quote above really got to them. I even had everyone stand up at the end of that reading. It was quite moving. 💙♥️💙 1mo
dabbe @Chrissyreadit 💙♥️💙 1mo
rubyslippersreads I might have read this in elementary school, but I‘m rereading it now in honor of 250 years, and really enjoying it. 1mo
dabbe @rubyslippersreads This just makes my heart sing. I don't think I truly enjoyed and understood it fully until just a few years ago. I can't wait to read what you think about it. 💙♥️💙 1mo
kspenmoll People at the protest held signs referencing this …🇺🇸 1mo
dabbe @kspenmoll @kspenmoll What a powerful day to be a part of ... all around.
💙♥️💙

Funny, isn't it? That there are 50 white stripes on a 🟦 background? And only 13 🟥 stripes on the white background? #interesting 🧐 That's only 26% 🟥 but 74% 🟦. Do you think we both symbolically chose 2 💙💙 and only ♥️? Also interesting that the ♥️ is in the middle. 🧐 Yeah ... first and last drink for the night. #mondaynightponderings 🤣
