While I'm on the grumpy old guy train, thanks @Apple for #iOS18 now showing the wrong time for a split second on every screen. The image of the watch face is stored to save processing but I'll take a black screen before seeing the wrong time...every time...on a watch...

The new iPhone starts at $1500USD. Remember those years when phones were free with plans? It was just normal because you paid for it in the plan. Now we're here paying for the device and the plan and for CEO yachts. This is last year's info but still. #LifeDoesntNeedToBeLikeThis

Would LOVE to see an out high-masking autistic POC like me on @traitorscanada. Imagine the advocacy effect, even if you're booted the first episode. Good luck reading us, people😂#ActuallyAutistic swag daily. Puzzle brain in effect. Fun! #EducateThePeople #RepresentationMatters

My life has been so hijacked that I'm now just getting to email from March. This is what happens when #AuDHD accommodations aren't met. Most of the time, our equity needs are simple and free to meet yet it's Sure in public then Nah in private.

Here to say I'm over people explaining, at length, why my #accessibility needs are inconvenient. You're causing me pain and tbh shortening my life. You don't GAF so why should I. I'm out. #ActuallyAutistic

Palette cleanser: Traitors S2. The only cast member I've ever heard of is @Peppermint247 and I have zero issue with that. With the exception of my longtime crush host of course. Pls lord let me reincarnate as a reboot of Alan Cumming.

In case you were in your dentist's office, that apparently is shared with an entirely different kind of doctor, and you may have been wondering why you have a hard time feeling comfortable or confident in your own body? It's totally not the messages the world sends 24/7.

#POC @CircleNetflix contestants: I need that $ to lift my extended family out of systemic inequity, work fewer jobs, pay off debt, basically live. Basically everyone else: I *need* a new car. Or maybe a pool.

Started #poorthings. What in the actual freak show is this #ableism trash? Sure it's a visual wonder. Doesn't change the erasure of humanity & horror show depiction of #ID. Some herky jerky look I'm doing weird things and peeing on the floor bs. And we're more than ok with this🤮
