It is 100 seconds to midnight.*
“It is 100 seconds to midnight. We are now expressing how close the world is to catastrophe in seconds – not hours, or even minutes. It is the closest to Doomsday we have ever been in the history of the Doomsday Clock. We now face a true emergency – an absolutely unacceptable state of world affairs that has eliminated any margin for error or further delay.”
Press Release—IT IS NOW 100 SECONDS TO MIDNIGHT – Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists
*The Doomsday Clock was recently set to 90 seconds.
Neurodiversity is one of the most powerful ideas of our generation. We live in an era of mass behaviorism and unvarnished eugenics. We need allies in the fight for the right to live and learn differently.
Everyone needs to get aboard the solidarity against ableism train, yesterday.

We are in an era of unvarnished eugenics.
Our Volunteer page lists some roles in social change.
The Social Change Ecosystem Map (2020)
- Weavers: I see the through-lines of connectivity between people, places, organizations, ideas, and movements.
- Experimenters: I innovate, pioneer, and invent. I take risks and course-correct as needed.
- Frontline Responders: I address community crises by marshaling and organizing resources, networks, and messages.
- Visionaries: I imagine and generate our boldest possibilities, hopes and dreams, and remind us of our direction.
- Builders: I develop, organize, and implement ideas, practices, people, and resources in service of a collective vision.
- Caregivers: I nurture and nourish the people around me by creating and sustaining a community of care, joy, and connection.
- Disruptors: I take uncomfortable and risky actions to shake up the status quo, to raise awareness, and to build power.
- Healers: I recognize and tend to the generational and current traumas caused by oppressive systems, institutions, policies, and practices.
- Storytellers: I craft and share our community stories, cultures, experiences, histories, and possibilities through art, music, media, and movement.
- Guides: I teach, counsel, and advise, using my gifts of well-earned discernment and wisdom.

These are the days of decision.
Oh, the shadows of doubt are in many a mind Lookin' for an answer they're never gonna find But they'd better decide 'cause they're runnin' out of time For these are the days of decision Oh, the games of stalling you cannot afford Dark is the danger that's knocking on the door And the far-reaching rockets say you can't wait anymore For these are the days of decision
In the face of the people who know they're gonna win There's a strength that's greater than the power of the wind And you can't stand around when the ice is growing thin For these are the days of decision I've seen your heads hiding 'neath the blanket of fear When the paths they are plain and the choices are clear Oh with each passing day, boys, the cost is more dear For these are the days of decision There's many a cross that burns in the night And the fingers of the fire are pointing as they bite Oh you can't let the smoke keep on blinding all your sight For these are the days of decision Now the mobs of anger are roamin' the streets From the rooftops they're aimin' at the police on the beat And in city after city you know they will repeat For these are the days of decision There's been warnings of fire, warnings of flood Now there's the warning of the bullet and the blood From the three bodies buried in the Mississippi mud Sayin' these are the days of decision There's a change in the wind, and a split in the road You can do what's right or you can do what you are told And the prize of the victory will belong to the bold For these are the days of decision Yes, these are the days of decision
