I had friends who supported me against bullies. These students should be lauded, not suspended!
#Maine high school suspends 19 students who stood up to alleged bully targeting #autistic student
Story by Peter Rubinstein, 2/11/2026
"Veronika McKenney, mother of one Oxford Hills student who was not part of the suspended group, maintained that the group was nonviolent. 'They kept their hands off. They used their words,' she told WGME.
"Other students began to follow, eventually forming a crowd around the alleged bully. Only one person in the group spoke to the student accused of kicking the autistic student, the suspended student added.
"When school staff noticed the crowd, they intervened and removed the alleged bully from the middle. Administrators identified the students that had gathered and began notifying their parents.
"Their suspensions ranged from two to five days.
"The story quickly caught attention among school parents on social media, many of whom defended their children's presence in the crowd and condemned the school's decision to suspend them."

Yes, I'm an anarcho-syndicalist, bisexual, gender-fluid, autistic, radical leftist!
I won’t apologize for being an anarchist or for being autistic. Autism rules, and so does anarchism!

Here in the #Philippines the word #Autistic is still considered derogatory, offensive, ableist, often used as a joke and/or to mean "abnormal". This is despite years of usage from amongst us, the autistics.
It still is a "war", but we are making progress. Keep fighting!

Dear all, I will only be passively present for the most part for the foreseeable future, so I'm pausing my #hobbystreak and can't do #MiniatureHighlights anymore.
The reason being, my eldest has developed an eating disorder and our first priority is, frankly, to keep her alive and healthy.
She's sadly a victim of #Autistic kids having to fit in to a school system that doesn't recognise their needs, overly gentle approaches to bullying and commercialised mental healthcare.
We'll do our best.

My brain's been serving up some real darkness lately.
(And when an #ActuallyAutistic brain latches onto something, it COMMITS 🙃)
So I'm reminding myself that in this world (especially at this time) ✨#Autistic Joy✨ is an act of defiant resistance.
And I'll be damned if I don't remember to stand in awe of all I've weathered, and of our #neurodivergent culture as a whole.

As an #autistic, I don't understand how one can build friendships by simply asking for each other's phone numbers.Who pushes for conversations? What if the recipient doesn't want to? Aren't you putting them into a tight spot because they don't want to be rude so they end up pretending?

BE KIND IN THIS HEAT
i have been thisclose to an #autistic meltdown because the A/C in my apartment is broken and i have had problems sleeping at night.
also, as many of y’all know, it has not been a year since my last #cancer treatment. my body is still coping with the after-effects of chemo, immunotherapy and radiation. my nuclear boob is still breaking out in a rash if it’s too hot or too sunny.
so just a reminder: the heat exacerbates many conditions.
be mindful. be kind. #fuckCancer
I’m going to start a small online shop selling 3D prints of things I’ve tested and enjoy. 😊 I want to share that joy with people.
Since I’m #ADHD and #Autistic, it’ll first focus on fidget toys, small figures, and keychains. I’ll then add other items related to my hobbies such as gaming themed items, book(ish) things, and of course queer friendly stuff.
If you’d be interested, reply below and I’ll update this post with the store information once I have everything built!

I offer 20% off at my Etsy shop for all folks who find me through Mastodon. Code: MASTO20
https://brittbuilds3d.etsy.com
When you use the code, I'll also add a small extra fidget to your order as a thank you for your support. 
You don't have to disclose who you are if you don't want to! 
When I see the code on the order, I'll know how you found me. 
Here are a few examples of the custom fidget toys I craft for my store:

Anything new happen for silent Sunday I’ve been cleaning and doing chores most of the day almost done.
Does everyone else have an unusually rough time getting all they expect to get done in a day ?
😮💨.
I mean I’m grateful to get done what I do but geesh. Humans and cats are messy. Almost males me think of getting my own place and I would have so much more time in the day. Maybe Even enough time to her a 9-5 job working at the gas station

Was going to keep today a Do Stuff day so I could zombie my way through that (recovering from being up several hours earlier than I'm used to & having to people & adult most of yesterday) so I can actually enjoy my duvet day tomorrow.
Enter fly in the ointment.
Tomorrow is more going out & peopling 😱. Then next weekend Saturday is more peopling & being social at friends' (shared) birthday.
Problem with this picture, Saturdays & Mondays are usually duvet days.
One positive is, I've already tackled today's adulting, phoning my Mam so hopefully she won't phone me later today 🤞.
Can I book my 12 month cryostasis treatment now!?
No, I'm not asking for a friend.
