i'm not remotely kidding when i say america's autists are a hugely underutilized resource...if you can just get over a little idiosyncrasy and let them vibe in their chosen zone, you can see some real magic happen — PolitiTweet.org

"hurr but why would you trust a random 32 year old guy to set up an entire welfare state" i'm not saying i'd trust any random 32 y/o guy, i'm just saying i know one particular 32 y/o guy who could absolutely set up the best welfare state known to god or man — PolitiTweet.org

i think i said something completely unheroic like uhh i've gotta get to class, catch you next time or something like that but i felt like -- no dude! i could probably already go to jail or hell or something for giving you beer! anyway i ended up dropping out so all's well. — PolitiTweet.org

the chat was very brief and i'm scrambling, as always, to get my earbuds out and my thoughts together, but basically the gist was: can we give you money and you buy us alcohol? i laughed and then asked: are you guys 21? they said they were sophomores. i laughed. they laughed. — PolitiTweet.org

beginning of a good neighborly rapport, i thought. well, couple weeks later, i'm heading to a friday afternoon seminar, and some of the bros are doing some leisurely autumn beering on the porch. they call out to me: hey, neighbor girl! i say something like: oh hey! what's up! — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

they were extremely cool about it and very sweet. i thanked them profusely. the next time i was milling around town, i passed a liquor store, and thought -- man, i should grab those guys a couple cases of beer. which i did. i left it on their doorstep. thanks for the help moving! — PolitiTweet.org

fortunately, though, some frat guys were simultaneously moving into the house next to this one, which was, i gathered, a frat house. they observed my comical struggle and instead of (only) laughing at my plight, valiantly trotted over to help out. they moved all my stuff up! — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

being a really small person, this was a problem. i could not get my stuff inside. i didn't know anybody on campus; i had been overseas for the last year. so i just sort of pathetically started trying to hustle some stuff indoors, where there was just this hopeless stairwell. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

well, back in the day, i was a ph.d candidate at brown. and so i was coming back to the states, moving into this apartment in a house amid a bunch of undifferentiated student housing near campus. and there was some miscommunication and my furniture just got dropped curbside. — PolitiTweet.org

@karlbykarlsmith not to accidentally summon satan or anything, but amber frost once wrote of 'brocialist' being used to describe both fratty dingdongs and also people sending journalists rape threats... — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

there's a phenomenon where some demeaning pejorative (i.e., 'karen') appears to name some shitty behavior but then winds up being used to describe much worse behavior because it's a mean term — but actually undershoots the severity of the thing! — PolitiTweet.org

nobody suffers from mumps, measles, or rubella like they used to because of vast vaccination using the MMR vaccine. same reason you don't see people dying of smallpox all over the place. it's not that smallpox suddenly became a really lame disease. — PolitiTweet.org

also what is all this "you can't just shit in the street anymore, now we put all our shit in the sewers so people don't die of typhus by the hundreds" business? folks how about you shit where you want and don't tell me what to do with my virulent human refuse — PolitiTweet.org

just the other day the local public school jim crowed me into proving my kid had her MMR vax up to date or else she couldn't come to the 'normal good obedient people' school...and for what? just so some kids dont go deaf or blind due to mumps or measles? what about my freedoms — PolitiTweet.org
