Fitz especially is a fan of multiple education workers in particular. He is familiar with how rowdy kids can be, and gets that his worker friends need to be supported in order to do their jobs well and thrive.
They need support in this strike! #39kIsNotEnough
Revan is equally strong in his love for kids! He's showing solidarity for his fave 5 year old, who needs EAs, ECEs, caretakers, and secretaries to keep his school running safely! #EducationWorkers 💜
They both want you to stay hydrated out this evening and all next week, and to stay safe. And to not do any scab shit.
They're not really doing "hanging out together awake" right now but they can agree on two things:
Naps, & workers rights

Reframing "I didn't know better and autistic advocates were mean to me"
to
"I posted something due to internalized ableism that hurt people who fight ableism. that sucks. Their response to me also felt harsh."
would help a lot of late-recognized folks get less defensive online.
Yes it'll sting to be told your internalized ableism is damaging to us all.
But it is.
We can't all get along without acknowledging internalized ableism, especially folks new to disability advocacy.
Obviously, on advocacy principle, people shouldn't be dogpiled if they've not had a chance to learn, and comments should be inquisitive at first to see if they're uninformed or will double down, and only on a double down does it make sense to be confrontational.
DO NOT write a lawyers number on your arm in sharpie. Don't write any phone numbers anywhere a cop may see it. They WILL use a visible number as evidence you were planning to do something arrest worthy and arrest you in advance.
Write it under your shirt on your torso or on your leg, where you can't see it if you stretch or have your sleeves up, if you are not able to memorize. but try to memorize.
Also don't wear anything to a protest that you wouldn't want to be wearing if they toss you in a cage overnight. Layers, comfortable waistband, all worth considering.
No, mushrooms don't cure depression. That's called a bandaid solution. It may get you a few weeks relief, but they're only helpful if you have an environment in which you can safely take em and thrive, and are not a sustainable treatment for depression. Don't be clickbait abt it.
I like mushrooms and the little while of relief as much as the next chronically depressed person. But it's irresponsible to pretend that's a sustainable approach to a long term problem. It's simply not.
Literally have a gorgeous glass mushroom necklace bc when I was 20 my brother went to get me a birthday present and the store clerk asked what I like and his first thought was "mushrooms", because I was doing to myself what researchers are doing & pretending to be geniuses abt.
