It’s official

I have Asperger’s. Finally. The appointment I’ve been waiting for for months now rolled around.

I pointed out that the majority of victims being women or girls was actually a fact for the majority of school shootings during the past several decades. [...]

‘Quote of the Week’

A Truly Elegant Mess writes about the Conscience clauses.
“In my perfect world, you would be allowed to have your life, and your opinions still. The only difference is that you would not be able to dictate the life of anyone besides yourself.
