Maybe I’m speaking out of line here (that’s heavy sarcasm by the way) but individuals with Autism aren’t pawns to be used in political games and shouldn’t continue to be further stigmatized for an agenda. Which is exactly what is happening here.

I think it is important to note that there’s nothing wrong with having a different neurotype, such as Autism (ASD), ADHD, etc. Pathologizing someone with Autism potentially exacerbates existing harms they’re likely already struggling with. It leads to harmful labeling and stigma.

APOLAKI WEPT (Apolaki, the sun god of the Tagalog and Pangasinan people of the northern philippines, was said to have wept at the great suffering of his people during colonial rule)

also i'm so sorry i tend to use my socials as a sort of online diary & often vent or like word vomit / yap into the void. i know most folks are probably just here for streaming stuff & like maybe my world issues & human rights posting, so i'm sorry for sometimes just being an emotional mess lol.

3/3 moving into something that is difficult and might be actively draining - but not harmful. So please: before telling a disabled person to 'just push through' - please stop and think. They've probably already been pushing through for hours/days/years - and maybe it is wisdom to stop pushing now.

2/3 So when we reach the point of 'uh oh' we are looking at real life consequences if we push further. But for a non-disabled person, more of their life is within their comfort zone - a zone where they can functioning easily and with little effort. And when they reach 'uh oh' it is often when -

I don't think this concept is understood - or talked about - nearly enough. Many disabled people spend very little time in our comfort zone, where things are easy. There are so many extra challenges to doing things, interacting, etc that if we are up and about, we are probably pushing ourselves. 1/3

Autism does not need to be cured! It's the rest of society that needs to be more accommodating!! Neurodivergence and disabilities cause suffering only because we have so little understanding or support. Treating it as something "broken" or "wrong" only enforces that, please just help people instead.

fuck. anyway. sorry. i'm dealing with a fucking migraine & a lot of body pain bc weather fluctuations suck ass & i haven't slept well in months & i think i might be getting my period soon too bc i'm cramping. so i'm sorry for being an extra angry yapper lmao 🙃😭 i just feel so pissed for so many rn.

A list of GFMs that need support. Most Palestinian GFMs are of families who have medical needs or disabled people. If you can't donate the 5$ limit you can pool funds with friends or community members. If that's not something you're able to do, repost!

no yeehaws today

During times like these, it’s very easy to feel guilt about having joy, posting about light things, etc. Please remember, marginalized joy is transformative, it is resistance, it is important.

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

i am so fucking beyond over all of this bullshit lmao fuck

yeah no i will not be applauding celebrities for signing some letter backing kimmel & condemning disney. where the fuck was all this support for the palestinians being martyred with the help of disney's $2M+? or for trans folks who keep having to see ourselves being removed & erased from stories?

If you aren’t practicing covid precautions, if you’re ignoring Black and Indigenous disabled people, if you’re not making things accessible, then who is your activism really for? All types of oppression are inherently tied with ableism. Do you wanna fight fascism? Then listen to disabled people.

IF SOMETHING IS AN ACCESSIBILITY TOOL, DO NOT USE IT FOR JOKES OR TO BE SILLY. FUCK. I will see anyone using alt text to make a joke, doing a "image of text or statement by XYZ", or making a point as maliciously fucking with disabled people.

Over 2000 families in Gaza have been completely erased from the civil registry- Shima and her two sisters are the only surviving members of her family preventing this from happening to them- and they are stuck in the North where it is very dangerous

Sounds like the segregationists in Connecticut are having a grand ole time “While waiting for the police to arrive, the old Karen’s friend said, ‘You’re not the minority anymore.'” www.blackenterprise.com/alex-okeefe-...

This is unironically a lot worse than Jimmy Kimmel but you won't see 1/1000 of the outrage

You are more than your to-do list. You are more than your achievements. You are more than what other people say you are. You are enough.

Fall stuff!! #art #illustration

"IDF whistleblowers have described orders to open fire on Gazan civilians including children with live bullets and artillery ... 'We're killing their wives, their children, their cats, their dogs,' one IDF officer said earlier this year. 'We're destroying their houses and pissing on their graves.'"

When we define violence only as physical harm, we overlook how ideologies and institutions not only enable violence but can themselves be violent.

We got people shouting “video games cause violence” and I’m just here in a game’s photo mode trying to get a good picture of a cat I found.

✨ PSA ✨ Foreshadowing can also be spoiling! Let others experience video games & content on their own terms 👏

For those who need to hear it, never apologize for gushing about your hyperfixations and any comfort characters. All it matters is that they make you happy.

Quiet reminder, as exhibit A in this theory, that you can’t tell a disabled person’s support needs from what they look like or their online presence.

Want some simple ways to resist fascism? Wear a mask. Donate to mutual aid. Go to a local library. Support community fridges and food banks. Plant a garden. Deliver groceries. Provide a ride to and from doctors appts. Participate in neighbourhood ICE watch. Show up for others.

A reminder as you tell people to "find community" that most of you do not give af about accessibility. In some places (like my state) anti-LGBTQ laws (targeting trans & nonbinary) overlap or are even identical to ableist "ugly laws" & cut off access to transit/public accommodations/housing/work.
