Question for the creator/owner

How are you able to keep the servers alive? I feel like as this grows, the cost for keeping up with the demand might become too much.

Is there any thoughts on partnering up with State organizations, maybe the libraries. Or some union of all the local broadcasters in state.

I know it’s a weird time for gov funding given the Cheeto. I just love what you’re doing, and don’t want it to go away any time soon.

Also, what are ways someone like me can help with this outside of donating.

MA rent stabilization initiative has a flaw worth talking about

I want this law to pass. I just think it needs a couple of fixes before it does.

The baseline is already locked in at whatever your rent was on January 31, 2026. That means landlords who have been charging below market rate for years are permanently penalized for doing the right thing, while landlords who have been gouging tenants are rewarded with a higher baseline to work from.

Good landlords should be rewarded, not punished. If you kept rents low out of goodwill, you deserve a path to reset to fair market rate before the cap applies or things should be put in place to limit the associated costs with rental properties. Bad landlords who have been maximizing rents at every opportunity are the ones this law should be squeezing.

We should be regulating insurance premiums, and property taxes along side rent rates.

Like I said. I want the initiative to pass. But I personally own 6 units. The most expensive unit I rent is for 1200 dollars. Which is a two bedroom with a double parlor. If insurance premiums double. Or property taxes go up to fast. I’ll be forced to sell. And I would’ve been punished for being kind in the face of greed.

I’ve emailed my reps with these concerns. If any of you agree with the sentiment. I implore you to do the same.

A popular subreddit for autistic adults to poke fun at NT (nerotypicals) and share experiences is undergoing a full blown civil war over the idea that Misandry exists or not.

A moderator of the subreddit made a post earlier today stating simply "Misandry isn't real" as the title and going on to even quote Malcom x in the body of the text.

https://old.reddit.com/r/evilautism/comments/1t2odca/misandry_isnt_real_and_the_sub_premise_isnt/

Chaos ensues, as the blanket statement that men don't face hate comes across extremely tone deaf in a subreddit dedicated to autistic people. To cake on even more layers of irony, autistic people generally struggle with nuance. So, even if the mod had benevolent intentions with their post, the nuances will almost always be lost on people.

When people in the comments started complaining about how this disfranchised trans men the mod then realized they needed to re-clarify that this only applies to cis men

https://old.reddit.com/r/evilautism/comments/1t2ur21/clarification_on_trans_men_and_transmasculine/

Then going on further to re-clarify again with an edit to the re-clarification that this only applies to men who dismiss women voices by claiming misandry.

Edit: New mod post update

A misunderstanding is the most autistic thing that could've happened

I know it's not what most people in the comments have been discussing, but I for one am happy to see the "autism nationalist" people get purged. The resurgence in them spamming this sub recently has been annoying.

Yea its been weird/uncomfortable seeing those viewpoints. Like we joke about being superior, but some people around here are pushing it as a serious stance. Thats the kid of ideology that harms the autistic community

I have been out of the loop, how the hell does autism nationalism even work? What does that even mean? Who was supporting it and what were they advocating for?

Depends on the person, but a lot of the recent spam was coming from someone who thought autistic people should all go live on some uninhabited island and found a nation there. The nation they wanted was implied to be Marxist-Leninist but they were also really poorly versed in theory so I'm not sure they would even recognize that. [cont, but its alot]

Hey atleast one of us was just advocating to make autistic Utah!! (It was me)

This isn’t even just a trans issue though. It can also effect cis men. Also, don’t exactly like being separated from cis men. Feels like we are being othered or “oh well not YOU it’s DIFFERENT because you are just soft uwu trans” and it’s… not nice. Even if it’s not the intention, it’s how it feels.

THE ONLY WARFARE IS CLASS WARFARE YOU BALKANIZING TWIT

no intersectionality exists. go read some some theory that isnt written by a white guy

Man this post feels like it was written by a neurotypical lmao.

[community troy gif] Leaving this sub for a couple days and returning is always an experience

You know what is kind of crazy? When you live as normal of a life as you can, work a job and then you read a post like this and the comments and its like you plunge into a whole different reality.

Does this happen to anybody else?

I’ll be having a conversation, sometimes a debate. And they’ll misremember something I said. Even trying to gaslight me into believing their memory of the conversation.

I’m not talking days later, but within the same conversation.

I feel like a lot of people are just talking on autopilot instead of being present and focusing on the conversation itself. It’s frustrating and kinda makes me wanna start recording conversations…
