I fucking hate that the general response to RFK Jr's eugenist take on autistic people is "autistic people do pay taxes, autistic people do work, autistic people do date!"
Some autistic people don't and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life. Some autistic people do need constant help and support and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life.
Once again we're falling in the right wing trap of :
They make a hateful, fascist statement
Instead of focusing on the fact that it is hateful and fascist we try to show them that they are factually wrong
We throw our own allies and the most vulnerable of us under the bus in the process
We legitimise an only slightly less hateful, fascist view as we go
They have completed their goal of making us accept the still hateful, fascist second version, hurrah. What a victory.
Right now what we're getting to with that is that autistic people who can work and pay taxes are okay, and the others aren't. Fuck this shit.
Same thing happens with the people who are being deported ("they have a visa!", "they didn't even have a criminal record!" -> even if they didn't have a visa, even if they did have a criminal record, deporting them and detaining them in what's essentially a concentration camp wouldn't be okay, you absolute tools of fascism.)
I wish i was truly alone
Alone in a house
Alone in the woods
Alone in the world
So i wouldnt have to feel the pain of people
Hear the pain of people
Know the pain of people
I am scared
I am a coward
You are the best thing to have ever happened to me
And i do not want to lose you
I love you so solidly
So wholey
So maturely
So beyond my years
If i told you
All of this
Would you tell me too?
That you love me so truly?
So wholey?
So beyond your years?
Live your life, and ill live mine
But let me live my life with you
Beside yours
Id like to live
Teach me how to do that?
So that i dont do it wrong
I dont want to do it wrong
I am fragile
I am glass
Thin, brittle
But my love for you is strong
Like roman concrete
With it, i am stronger
As i weather through life
I heal
Like roman concrete
Though neve fully, never wholey
I dont mind
Because your love makes me strong
But i cannot be strong
Without you
If i told you that
Would you see me as simple?
As weak?
As codependent?
Is this parasitical?
Am i bad for you?
Do i bite?
Through my creation, have i poluted?
The water, the air?
With my volcanic ash?
Have i hurt?
Can you breath?
Do i bite?
Have i bitten?
Im scared
I am weak
I feel alone
Solitary
Singular
But with you,
You help
You do not complete me
That is not your job
To complete me
But you
You do so much more
genuinely fucked up that if i want to interact with someone online i have to say words and have a conversation instead of just mashing my face against them like a cat
Can we unnormalize how america does public restrooms?
Okay can i be honest here? I really hate it when people say this. Some do. Very few. I got one of the very few. My managers son is a straight trans man, and is one of the craziest, kindest ladies I've ever met.
I work at a ren faire, and in my first year, i didnt have any garb to wear that wasnt fem (im trans masc) so when i got the company provided uniforms (they were trash) my manager noticed i didnt have a belt. What did she do? Asked her son who previously worked the faire if i could borrow a belt. She came back with a belt and said "here, my son said you can keep it, he doesn't use his stuff much any more :)"
And this belt has been my day to day belt every day since then. That was 3 years ago.
Another instance was relatively recently, where i had my sr prom. I didnt have anything masc to wear. So what did she do? Asked her son if he'd be alright with me borrowing his clothes, and he was. I ended up being able to find everything i wanted through thrifting. Her son even wants to go thrufting some time!
And if i see ANYTHING saying the ren faire isnt a real job because it's only during the weekend or some other bs BECAUSE IT IS and i would claw my way through for that statement and my manager and her son and my whole work team because theyre all so lovely and nice.
They are perverts and need to mind their business
Of fucking course
What sick bastard doesn’t
Hey all, Crips for Esims for Gaza has been purchasing E-sims for people in Gaza and need help to continue their advocacy!
We link them in our Hi Nay episodes but want to remind people to help out if they can and donate! They're an offshoot of the E-sims for Gaza program created by Mirna El-Helbawi, and allow you to, if you are overwhelmed by the E-sims purchasing process, streamline it.
You donate to Crips for Esims for Gaza, and they do it for you. Help these fantastic disabled activists if you're able!
Link in replies so Tumblr doesn't hide this!
Dudes shouldn't have to prove themselves by having spartan greyscale homes with dollar store rubber shower curtains and a mattress on the floor. Do you know what life is like with linen
Giants will never know the joy of handling rolly pollies :(
