Masking helps us survive, but it’s not sustainable. It’s dangerous to keep hiding pain just to be seen as “acceptable.” We deserve to be safe as we are

So many people are like "I am the arbiter of what is and isn't Real Disability, based on my brief personal visual observation of someone I otherwise have no knowledge about." #disability #chronicillness

Gaza has no electricity, is dark, its roads are destroyed, there is no transportation, there are no homes, there is no water, everything is at an astronomical price, and the crossings are closed.

Look at Creemee. 🥹 He's a big, handsome, FIV+ smoosh at the shelter right now, and a total sweetheart despite his very hard life. If you know anyone in northern Vermont looking for gentle friend, please pass this along! www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

Have Disabled People Considered The First Solution Anyone Would Think Of? and Other Unhelpful Tips

Ich verzweifle an dieser Welt.

It is truly stunning how stupid everything is

Be careful who you let teach you what love looks like 🙏🏽

“HAY” says Jim! 👋 Our animal sanctuary needs your help funding supplies & forage this winter, as we’re struggling We hate to ask but if you can spare anything to help us closer to our justgiving goal, we’d be so thankful Details: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding... #animalsanctuary #rescueanimals

The war is back. Our joy was short-lived. This is so unfortunate. #Gaza

Whaaaaaaaaaat??? Now the prices 10x The Israeli government has decided to suspend the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip until further notice.

Some of us didn’t “fall apart” in adulthood. We just finally stopped performing.

It's like they're almost all the same.😢 #ActuallyAutistic

Trixie trying out the (hopefully sturdy 😅) ramp that leads to her new house. My son built them a new house a couple weeks ago, more room lol. They love it! #PigsofBluesky

People are so used to being abusive, they think it's normal?

They call it “support”. But what they mean is compliance. They call it “resilience”. But what they mean is silence. They call it “inclusion”. But what they mean is performance. So much of the narrative aroundNeurodiversity Inclusion” is nonsense. Put our voices first.

If you're a cat: I LOVE YOU!

Dear NT-person, I don't trust you one bit. Because you constantly accuse me of things that aren't happening. Things you do.

This existence is so terrible.

This... #AuDHD #ActuallyAutistic #ADHD #WhoTheAuDHDAmI

NTs are all about themselves. And even if you don't blame them for it, they are. Why should they think about minorities? Why learn? Why put in some energy?

I believe in body autonomy for all. That means people can wear what they choose, be sexually liberated, be who they are, not be confined to restrictive social norms, have autonomy in healthcare, finances, and everything else. And importantly, consent is a cornerstone of it all.

It seems that every time you have measures in place to just keep putting one foot in front of the other, some people will use these measures against you.

You weren’t “bad with boundaries”. You were punished every time you had one. You weren’t “too emotional”. You were never allowed to feel safe enough to be calm. You weren’t “broken”. You were surviving. And you still are.

I don't expect non-autistic people to apologize for making me suffer. I expect them to criticise my suffering. Because most of them choose to be that person.

Once again I'm screaming for God to help me.

For many abuse survivors, our pets are more than a source of emotional support. They might be the one reliable source of unconditionally safe & affectionate physical touch we've experienced--maybe our entire life.

I'm doing terribly. I don't want to talk. I want to post about my feelings.

Why do non-autistic people want empathy from us, but never give it back? Too much work? It's the same work for us and we do it.

My life is suffering.

I know I know, a lot of people asked this question before. But if there is a God, why doesn't he help us? Please don't answer. Nobody knows.

Doing a shift on a good day is nothing compared to surviving on a bad day. They have no f'ing idea. If they think work is hard, they should try a debilitating chronic illness for a while and see which they prefer.

Good Morning oh sorry Bad Morning

My heart hurts when I see people go home after the war and my family is still stuck in the tent. If you see me commenting on anything, maybe my posts reach someone who can help me. tinyurl.com/29kc6b2k

Zawawi is an absolutely wonderful dog & has waited SOOOO long for a home with no applications He is so friendly & amazing with #dogs He's a big boy at around 30kg and is 5-6 yrs old Pls #email [email protected] or apply via our website Let's get him a #foreverhome #adoptdontshop

I have so much fun on planet earth.

No one I know would ever torture a dog for a sandwich. But swap the victim, and society applauds. That’s not preference. That's normalized violence.

Good morning Monday! Here's a loaf for you! 🖤😸🖤 #KittyLoafMonday #Cats #BlackCats #CatsOfBlueSky

I hope you'll take a moment for these beautiful parting words from the incomparable Jane Goodall. (And she threw in a little salt for the evil ones, too)

💗Happy #Caturday 💗from Lucy & all of us! This #kitten is blossoming from a very timid girl to a curious, playful, sweetheart! She'll be on laps before you know it! She's available for adoption now & needs to go with a playmate or have one waiting for her in her new home! 💗💗💗

New arrival Penny is 7 yrs old and the sweetest thing. She didn't stay shy long - she's going to do great! Stay tuned, we'll soon see if Penny likes laps. ❤️ #cats #cat #pets #va #nova #virginia

This poor frightened boy is at Queens Animal Care Center if anyone in NYC can help. 💔

I just find no way to victim blame myself anymore. I'm sorry. None of this is ok.
