Found this blog post via reddit /r/AutismTranslated, it talks about Abed, an Autistic character from the TV Show "Community" and how he's mostly a good/accurate representation of autism and how the author relates to him.

"Mandatory stop-and-frisk. Deploying the military to fight street crime, break up gangs and deport immigrants. Purging the federal workforce and charging leakers.

Former president Donald Trump has steadily begun outlining his vision for a second-term agenda, focusing on unfinished business from his time in the White House and an expansive vision for how he would wield federal power."

~ Isaac Arnsdorf and Jeff Stein

I don't know how to say this in a way that will matter, or even get noticed, but I really need cishet people to understand something:

The people labelling LGBTQ+ folk groomers and pedophiles know it isn't true.

They aren't spreading false information accidentally. Their goal isn't to raise an alarm about something they think is a legitimate threat to children. Their goal is to vilify LGBTQ+ people to set us up as targets for violence, persecution, and death. They are fomenting hate deliberately, because they know how to harness it.

By positioning themselves as the leaders of a violent movement against a manufactured enemy, they gain credibility, exposure, and ultimately control over large parts of the American populace. By pretending to be the vanguard of a defense against predators, they become heroes within their movement.

** Ten years ago today, I posted my first MicroSFF story on Twitter. Four thousand stories later, I'm still writing them. Who'd a thunk it?

Many thanks to all of you, for reading, sharing, liking, and commenting.

Here's that first story:

God finally stopped the planet to let people off, but hardly anyone left. We watched the sun speed away and felt very silly.
