Image of Vanessa Carlton, a young woman with long dark braids playing a red piano that is floating down the highway, with green hills on the background. Text bubble shows her song lyrics: If I could fall into the sky, do you think time would pass me by? 'Cause you know I would walk a thousand miles, if I could just see you tonight. The words 'A thousand miles' are crossed out and replaced by red text that reads '1609 kilometres.'

1609 Kilometres doesn't really have the same pizzazz as A Thousand Miles, does it? (alt text included on image)

I'm sorry the outcome wasn't different. I would have loved to have seen this team take it all. xx

What a victory! It's great to see Illinois back in the Final Four! If my alma mater (Duke) is lucky enough to meet them in the semis, it will be a helluva game! My mom is from Cicero, so I've been cheering for the Illini my whole life (well, except when they play the Blue Devils!)

My friends back home (U.S) keep asking me when we're going to visit. Not until this toxic regime is gone.

How on earth can we top that incredible picture of Steve & Croz?!

Did you see that she also re-posted a tweet from Tania Marshall?

There's also a current thread on Mumsnet re Uta (and Naomi), with a number of TERFs weighing in to defend them...

Image of older woman in a pink shirt standing with a young woman in a hot pink shirt from the group Free Mum Hugs Australia. Both are smiling. The older woman is holding as sign that reads "I'm 83 and came all the way from South Carolina to give you a free grandma hug!"

My awesome 83-year-old mom is returning to the U.S. after 10 weeks with us here in Sydney. This shot is from the Mardi Gras pre-parade - we marched with @freemumhugsaus.bsky.social, which was amazing!

One for each of the Beatles:
"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by George Harrison (runner up: "Something")
"Don't Pass Me By" by Ringo Starr (runner up: "Octopus's Garden")
"Hey Bulldog" by John Lennon (runner up: "Come Together")
"Hey Jude" by Paul McCartney (runner up: "Rocky Raccoon")

Sending all my love from the other side of the Pacific, not just today but especially today.

I love seeing your love for Steve and your creativity on display!

Done. Imagine being that consumed with hate. :-(

Holding you in my heart, not just today but especially today. Sending all my love from Sydney.

Collage of four pictures. Upper left corner is Steve Silberman with me, a smiling woman with blonde hair; upper right is an image of a birthday cake with candles in fromt of mutiple copies of NeuroTribes as well as books written by various Autistic authors; lower left is a copy of the Australian version of NeuroTribes sitting atop of bag in progress pride flag colors; and lower right is an image of NeuroTribes in a street library.

On this date 10 years ago, Steve Silberman's incredible book, NeuroTribes, was published. Every year on August 25th, I donate a new copy to a local street library, along with a note expressing how much Steve's work meant to me and the importance of learning from and amplifying Autistic voices.

I wish there were something more I could do than just "sending my love from Sydney."

I can only imagine how much it takes to keep tryin' and tryin' every single day. You & Steve are always in my heart.

Image of an incredibly cute golden colored cocker spaniel with big brown eyes, dressed as a taco, even though he never chickens out of anything.

Image is a tweet from the late M Kelter dated August 30, 2018. It reads: “In the last few decades, we have detected thousands of planets outside of our solar system. They did not suddenly appear at the time we found them. No one calls it an "exoplanet epidemic". The planets were always there, just previously undiscovered. This is a tweet about autism.”

Look if we’re ignoring Supreme Court rulings then every American woman has a right to an abortion again

Things that actually destroy children:
• measles
• bullets shot from guns
• environmental disasters
• lack of healthcare
• lack of accurate information about sexuality and gender

I've been offline for a bit but this was the first thread I saw when I returned. Sending so much love to you - your & Steve's love story is the most beautiful I have ever witnessed.

Opinion | There’s a Name for What Trump Is Doing to Trans People: Denationalizing (Gift Article) The message is that we are a threat to the nation. The subtext is that we are not of this nation.

"The reason you should care about this is not that it could happen to you but that it is already happening to others. It is happening to people who, we claim, have rights just because we are human. It is happening to me, personally."

In a world of Gavin Newsoms, be a Tim Walz.

Michelle Obama: Kids should have nutritious meals.

The pro-life party: This is an outrage!

RFK Jr: Kids should have measles, mumps, and polio.

The pro-life party: Yes, king! Tell it like it is!

Image of a large group of adults, many of whom are moms and mums, wearing t-shirts in various colors of the rainbow with the slogan "Free Mums Hugs Australia; Mardi Gras 2025 - Sydney." There is an image of a cartoon koala mother cradling a baby koala colored in pink, white and light blue, the colors of the trans flag.

When hate is loud, love must be louder.

What a privilege to be a part of the Free Mum Hugs Australia community.

The fact that the USA has banned visas for trans people but welcomed rapist Andrew Tate shows how all this "defending women" stuff is total bullshit

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.

The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.

It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

I am 56 and am still in regular contact with my high school chemistry teacher. She used to play "Light My Fire" to set the mood for experiments. She made chemistry accessible, interesting, relevant and fun. I know you are THAT teacher for your students, too.

Thousands Rally Across The Country To Support Trans Youth - Star Observer Large crowds have turned out across the country today to show their support for trans youth for the National Day Of Action.

Proud to have been one of the thousands of people across Australia taking part in today's Protect Trans Youth National Day of Action, organized by the incredible @transjusticeau.bsky.social. Trans young people deserve to the opportunity to thrive.

I miss him so much. And this picture of Steve and Leo is one of my all-time favorites. It's just filled with tenderness and connection.
