READ CURSIVE FAST (published 2021) is on that best-sellers list once again! (in the place where most people buy books), though you’ll get a better price directly from the publisher: nationalautismresources.com/read-cursive-f…

This blog-post by a friend embeds a YouTube podcast where I am interviewed about (mostly) some aspects of autism … pubwages.com/48/is-ableism-…

Tomorrow at 9:45 PM Eastern USA time: I’ll be presenting “Political Penmanship”: some artificial-intelligence-guided insights into the handwritings of a few current American politicians. l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%…

@OI1e_Man @realstewpeters Actually, people who call themselves “trans men” have male genitalia now, and used to have female. People who call themselves “trans women” have female genitalia now, and used to have male.

Every. Single. Time.

@spooniesaurus @gellman_rebecca Then, by the same reasoning, anyone who looks male belongs in the ladies’ room, if born with female genitalia. I would love to hear you defend that position.

Fun fact: back in the 1980s women used to compete in _the_ darts contests, not the _men's_ darts contests. They sex-segregated them because they didn't like the women doing as well as the men. "unfair male advantage" is the most mythical of myths in darts.

So, conversely — on the same reasoning — a biological woman who presents as a man (trans man) should use the ladies’ room: beard, burly biceps, and all. Would you (or a daughter, granddaughter, or niece) feel comfortable with that (as a birth-certificate lavatory law would mandate)?

But you’re still not a woman, you’re a ‘trans woman’. A biological man, who presents as a ‘trans woman’. To be a true woman, you need to be female. Anything else is just ‘dress up’.

By this logic, anyone with a female birth certificate and male appearance belongs in the ladies. So I guess that, when we use the ladies’ room, we must happily share it with this bearded possessor of a female birth certificate. Do you, or would you, support such legislation?

@jenuflexion Yes, show the photo to anyone who says “trans woman = man in dress.” Say: “This guy says he’s trans: and NO WAY he’s a woman, right?” When the objector agrees, you say “Right: no matter WHAT his birth cert says! His birth cert says ‘F’: let’s keep him OUT of the ladies’ room!”

A reason why the anti-trans lot focus almost exclusively on "men-in-dresses" and act like women who transition to men just do not exist is their existence makes a mockery of their talking points. Anti-trans accounts now HAVE to convince people this dude is a 'woman'

Tomorrow night (9:45 PM, Eastern USA time), I will be on the YouTube channel of a friend, where I do occasional broadcasts on handwriting matters. This time, we’ll be discussing whether people can really change their handwriting! (Obviously, my answer is “yes.“) It’ll be a Livestream, so that people can chat and comment, and the link is here: youtube.com/live/rdswKGNEK…

If all goes well with the adoption process, we'll be getting this kitten. He's going to need a name. Go.

@jwhitey98 I’m appalled and offended by your Olympic Village story’s ridiculously mangled Englis You wrote: “Every nation’s team have their own home block” — that reads like gibberish. Try: “Every nation’s team has its own home block” and cease to wreck an otherwise excellent report.

The Olympic Village has freshly baked bread, laser-guided latte art, and pavements made from seashells. It also has bad food, problems with the air-con, and cardboard beds. In the biggest moments of their careers, this is athlete life at #Paris2024 nytimes.com/athletic/56716…

@TuneMyMusic HELP! I need to change the credit card for my account with you, and also to upgrade from a Monthly Premium to an Annual Premium account. I’ve looked all over your site, but haven’t found how — and your “Contact Us” web-form failed me (my tablet crashed, twice, as I hit “Submit” on the screen). Is there a real person to talk to?

I will be on YouTube again, 11 hours from now … youtube.com/live/LQqF9bjhK…

@Maverick5469 @TrueJMitchell As a handwriting teacher/remediator, I’ve found that numerous schools, districts, cities, and states had quietly stopped teaching cursive — often, stopped teaching handwriting of any sort — in the 1990s, or even the late 1980s: long before Obama was President.

@TrueJMitchell It's a sad truth, the Obama administration made it so schools stopped teaching kid cursive writing.

OMG. 🤣🤣 I can't help it. This meme made me laugh for a while.
