@youronlyone@app.wafrn.net@actuallyautistic@autistics@youronlyone@c.im I like fidgeting. I shake one leg. I click pens. I pop gum. I snap my fingers. I open and close the battery cover on remote controls until they break. I open and close the stapler on my desk. I put the staple remover on and finger and squeeze it over and over. Most of these things I notice I'm doing well after starting and it doesn't feel good to stop.
Roger Ailes had a lot to do with Fox's success and his goal was to build a right wing propaganda network that would prevent another Nixon from resigning or being successfully impeached.
#Slate's #SlowBurn podcast did a good series explaining how Fox was built to be what it became.
If I follow you, but you're not in the pack, either your account settings don't allow me to link to you (see the FAQ https://fedidevs.com/faq/) or I don't know you're in/related to #Utah.
Even if you don't have a yard for a flag, you can donate to the community fund and/or volunteer with the project to put up and take down flags and/or help at events.
This is real, local action you can take to fight back against the effort to eliminate trans people in our community. #utpol
As a #USU#Alumnus, I am again called on to denounce my university.
No, it's not about a coach saying raped students lie or a series of cases where USU failed to follow #TitleIX. This time it's about the whole of Cache Valley being told to attack a person living on campus because she dared to take an RA job.
I lived in Merrill Hall. I remember how accessible the units are. I remember repeatedly having to lock our front door because my roommates had just popped out for a minute and there was a guy going around trying the locks in the all women residential hall.
I am furious and embarrassed that USU, Utah legislators, and the weirdo ex-cop who's made a living on LGBT hate and antimasking in a pandemic.
Maybe focus on your actual threats to safety, USU. You know, your unending rapes and domestic/intimate partner violence on and off-campus. Not a young woman just trying to live her life and not harming anyone. #utpol
One ignoramus from a small town can determine who gets elected in and around the entire state because of money, bigotry, and power.
"Preserving Utah Values PAC’s ads were largely funded by House Speaker Mike Schultz, under whose gavel many of the Democratic lawmakers targeted by the ads work, according to a disclosure filed Saturday — more than three weeks after the election." #utpol#Utah
"In July, Birkeland was hired as director of policy for the Montana Grain Growers Association, although she never disclosed the hiring in her required conflict of interest disclosure. Her next disclosure would be due Jan. 10, the day her resignation takes effect. Montana’s legislative session opens Jan. 6, 2025."
Good riddance! I'd bet she only ran to be sure her seat stayed GOP, as she's had this job since July.
They're about attacking and excluding anyone who doesn't pass as feminine or masculine enough. They're about enforcing gender norms regardless of cis or trans.
