Day Four - Someone I love

It'll probably come as a surprise to... absolutely no-one... that my subject for this post is none other than my girlfriend of nearly a year - Amanda.

As I mentioned - we've been together for nearly a year (11 months as of the 4th of Feb) but strangely it feels like much less, we're still learning things about each other and making each other laugh with our foibles and little in jokes that are growing daily in both complexity and quantity.

Amanda herself is the most amazing girlfriend I could ask for - both physically beautiful and the most wonderful and kind person I have ever met. She's not afraid to be different from most of the other women her age - keeping a level head and logical mind that I've not seen from many adults whilst still able to do the cutest and craziest things without much shifting of mental gear. Her kindness and consideration knows no limit - she truly is a beautiful person inside and out.

Apologies to anyone who may think I waffled somewhat - perhaps that's what love does to a person.

All that's left to say is: I LOVE YOU AMANDA!!

I fucking hate that the general response to RFK Jr's eugenist take on autistic people is "autistic people do pay taxes, autistic people do work, autistic people do date!"

Some autistic people don't and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life. Some autistic people do need constant help and support and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life.

Once again we're falling in the right wing trap of :

They make a hateful, fascist statement

Instead of focusing on the fact that it is hateful and fascist we try to show them that they are factually wrong

We throw our own allies and the most vulnerable of us under the bus in the process

We legitimise an only slightly less hateful, fascist view as we go

They have completed their goal of making us accept the still hateful, fascist second version, hurrah. What a victory.

Right now what we're getting to with that is that autistic people who can work and pay taxes are okay, and the others aren't. Fuck this shit.

Same thing happens with the people who are being deported ("they have a visa!", "they didn't even have a criminal record!" -> even if they didn't have a visa, even if they did have a criminal record, deporting them and detaining them in what's essentially a concentration camp wouldn't be okay, you absolute tools of fascism.)

Not sure if trolling or just incredibly stupid misuse of science.

1. There haven’t been ~7 Billion people on this planet for all 3 Billion years, the world’s population has doubled within living memory, besides you haven’t taken into account animals which vastly outnumber us on this planet - This is only a minor criticism by comparison to the following;

2. Water is one of the most recycled substances on the planet - every time we breathe out and every time we urinate and even when we die, the water we have ingested goes back into the cycle - there is the same amount of water on this planet as there was two thousand years ago (give or take a few gallons that we’ve put into space)

So either successful troll is successful or someone needs to go back to Elementary school and actually pay attention… My faith in humanity rather hinges on it being the former instead of the latter.

Why do you even care about trans women? You're not even one of them.

a lot of TERFs speak like they’re giving a speech in a movie. One time one of them referred to me & my “brethren”, which they then had to clarify meant trans people and their supporters. I still think about that and laugh sometimes. “you and your brethren” fedgyejgfjhdgsjhksa like what are we, viking warriors?

The game is mid at best, and its real-world harms are impossible to ignore.

This is the only good review from a big name I've seen. I'd read it.
