I hurt. I am new. I am old. I am a collection of #words.

Heads up pet keepers: zebra mussels have been spotted in Petco Betta Buddy brand moss balls.

If you don't know what zebra mussels are, they're an invasive aquatic species that reproduces incredibly quickly, to the point where it can damage power plant equipment and pipes, and also is a major threat to native mussels as it rapidly outcompetes them. They are a scourge on lakes across the midwest and spread easily on boats or other watercraft thats been exposed to them.

Finding one in a chain pet store item is BAD NEWS. These items are sold across the entire country and this has the potential to be a major spreader event. If you spot a zebra mussel on marimo or on any other aquarium plant please make a report to the relevant wildlife officials so they can be controlled. Do not dispose of any aquarium animal or plant in a waterway.

If we are vigilant, we can help keep our native mussels safe.

Not bug related, but important. I’ve seen piles and piles and piles of zebra mussels on beaches along Lake Michigan, they are a nightmare.

You can also report aquatic invasive species sightings from anywhere in the US on the United States Geological Survey’s sighting report form, if you don’t have a local contact like the specialist listed in the social media post above. Zebra mussels have caused immeasurable damage in the Great Lakes, and stopping their spread to other inland freshwater systems across North America is critical if we want to maintain the health and functionality of our waterways.

Autistic is not a bad word.

I am Autistic i am Autistic i am Autistic.

I couldn’t care less about whether or not you think something like autigender is valid, telling autistic people we’re wrong when we say we experience things like gender differently from allistics is ableist. Allistics will never fully understand what it’s like to experience the world with autism. An allistic commenting on how autistic people should behave and should perceive things is unacceptable.

Dear Society, In case you still haven’t (learned from your own history and) figured it out, it’s the oh-so-perfect people you need to worry about, not the imperfect ones.

I did my senior paper on vaccines/anti-vaxxers and it was months of rage filled hell.

I am not physically capable of describing how much I despise Andrew Wakefield.

Hope you choke on your blood money you fucking monster.

Autism Moms, here’s a thought:

No autistic person is so severely disabled/autistic that they have no chance of ever being happy or successful.

Exhibit A: Hikari Oe.

i cannot stress the importance of letting yourself be autistic

not just the good parts, not the parts that are met with an “aw, that’s a good autistic trait, so it’s ok!”

no. fuck that. you’re autistic, and as long as you’re not hurting anyone (including yourself), do whatever the fuck you need to in order to have your needs met and feel comfortable.

it sounds harsh, but sometimes it needs to be: fuck other peoples’ feelings. they are not the top priority in your life, you are.
