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 think this is an incredibly important video to watch
February 17, 2025 - Two IDF war criminals had to flee the Netherlands after Israel found out the Hind Rajab Foundation was working on arrest warrants for them, for the International Court of Justice. Keep the Israeli war criminals scared and on the run!
You can donate to the Hind Rajab Foundation to support their important work [here].
I am both.
So within two days of each other, Fox News writes an article comparing aromanticism and asexuality to pedophilia, and then Matt Walsh releases a video saying asexuality is a mental illness and asexuals are tricking teenagers into having depression.
Not sure what’s going on right now over in Conservative World, but it’s a hell of wild U-turn for them to suddenly switch from “Oh no! The left is sexualizing our children!” to “Oh no! The left is asexualizing our children!”
It’s wild to me to see transvestigator conspiracy theories online that could be so easily explained by natural human variation. That woman has a deep voice? Yeah, sometimes they do. A woman has broad shoulders?? Maybe she plays rugby or hits the gym a fuckton. There’s a “bulge” in her tight pants?? Maybe her vulva is just fat. All the “markers” of trans woman that transvestigators use to harass any woman aren’t even things unique to trans women.

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse. It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms
As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable. As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.
Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.
www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.
www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.
https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.
www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.
http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.
www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.

EDIT: I reached the limit number of mentions you can make in one post, so I'm continuing in a reblog. You can find it here
i genuinely hate how people have to sit and write a post that stands out while boosting a fundraiser because most people won't bat an eye at the misery and inhumane conditions Palestinians are living in.
i see people making art and telling others to use it because fundraisers with art are generally reblogged more often. i see people using colored text in order to make the post more eye catching.
palestinians on instagram are using popular audios and stitch trending reels at the beginning to make the world pay attention to them. imagine having to make something look entertaining in order to survive.
they are living under constant threat of israeli airstrikes, bombing, scarcity of food and disease. many have lost a lot in the past few months.
palestinians on tumblr are posting their pictures and the horrible conditions in which they are living. they travel long distances for internet connection only to be called a scammer by some privileged ass who cannot locate gaza on a map.
here are some verified gfms. please share the linked posts. it's the bare minimum we can do from the comforts of our home.

"Does the world expect us to be well-behaved victims we're getting killed? For us to be slaughtered without making noise? We've tried peaceful resistance.
We decided to defend our people with whatever weapons we have."
Glory to the resistance.
In front of the United States whitehouse there is a poster board with this written on it: "A message from Gaza: We do not just want your eyes on Rafah. We want your foot on "Israel's" neck. Organize and escalate."

Al Jazeera posted a long-form article about the Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza. It talks about who they were, their hopes and their dreams.
At the bottom, there is a Romanized searchable version of the list of names of people killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza.
The first 7 pages are children below the age of 1.
He didn't even get the chance to be named.
This is a genocide.

Monica Johnson, Portland nurse, returns from a traumatic experience in Rafah
Hello,
I am Mohammad from northern Gaza, and I have a family of six. Since the beginning of the war, we were threatened to evacuate our home. My family and I left within seconds, and it was completely destroyed by the Israeli occupation. My father and I both had our own businesses, and everything was completely bombed. We are now displaced to the south and living in a tent. My family and I are suffering greatly, and I am very sad and frustrated by this catastrophic situation. We face the threat of death every day; this war has destroyed and scattered us, and we have lost much of our health. There is no safe life, no healthy food, and no clean water.
I urgently need your help today, and time is running out to save me and my family from this brutal war. Every donation from you brings safety to my family.
Now, we're living in a small tent without the basic necessities of life😔
I really need your assistance urgently.
Both my physical and mental health are declining, and I can't continue to spread the word alone.
I implore you, please share and reblog this to reach as many individuals as possible.
Please Share & Donate 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Even a $1 contribution can have a significant impact ⚠️⚠️⚠️
We need to reach the goal of 20000$ because my father is sick and needs to be evacuated urgently for an operation. It is not available in Gaza now.
I hope to spread and donate generously.
