| Between 1880 and 1905 there were well over 36,000 strikes involving 6 million workers. Do you know what they were striking for? The biggest ask was an 8 hour work day. Do you know what Congress focused on instead? Passing obscenity law, obsessing about sex and white women's purity. Creating instabi... |

| I've never had children. I have caught baby fever a few times, though, especially as I grow a little older... But I'm mixed on it. I am a person who needs a lot of space, and I know that having children means you have no more space. Like not even being able to use the bathroom in peace... Ugh. Anoth... |

| I've always wondered why I couldn't feel anything in church despite my very best efforts. It's not that I can't experience music very intensely, for example, and I know that music is used by megachurches in particular to manipulate people. But the music used in those churches doesn't do anything for... |

| I literally said that I was worried about going and getting diagnosed for autism because I was afraid of being put on a list, and look at that - that's exactly what would happen. Being diagnosed has been pushed off into the future for me, despite my plans. But that's good because my plans were leadi... |

Of course, RFK Jr. has no clue what he's talking about and is only a "medical leader" because of politics.
I'd wager that it's not necessarily that he was just referring to only "full-blown" autism, but instead that he doesn't think anything aside from that is autism at all. |

| The bulk of pop (as in non-classical) music I listen to is from the 1960s and 70s. I like some music from when I was a teen (early to mid 2000s) and I like some modern music, but it's typically retro (the only kind of modern music I listen to much that isn't retro is Punk/Ska Punk) but yeah, I can r... |
