I Guarantee You I Have Cried Over This More Times Than I’d Like To Admit

rb this post to tuck in the mutual you rbed it from w a soft comfy plushie

[id: the video is divided into 16 squares. in each one, an LGBT person is doing something such as reading, preparing food, playing with their pets, washing dishes. it is overlaid with an audio of the Turkish president's recent speech saying "LGBT? No such thing exists. This country is national, spiritual". when he says "no such thing exists", people disappear from the frame, leaving only the background]

Holy hell this is so cool. Thank you Nickelodeon for standing with our black neighbors and family and friends who deserve their rights just as much as the rest of us.

For anyone who doesn't live with children or watch cartoons on a regular basis, Nickelodeon went off the air for 8 minutes and 46 seconds today. During that time, instead of playing shows or commercials, there was a Nickelodeon orange background with scrolling and repeating messages about racial equality, the right to education, and the right to be safe from harm and hatred.

For those who aren't aware, as I wasn't until I googled it, 8 minutes and 46 seconds was the exact amount of time that George Floyd was pinned on the ground.

There's nothing subtle about this and I'm just. Shocked. In a good way of course, I've just never seen this sort of rallying behind a race-based social movement.

Kiribaku is 100% friendship goals cause this motherfucker got angry that he was considerate enough to bring him a suite too and then obviously reluctantly put it on anyway

anyways here’s how to not be shitty to autistic people since apparently y’all need someone to sit down and tell you

things not to mock us for:

-“picky eating”

-wearing the same clothes everyday

-carrying around a comfort object (might be something like a stuffed animal, a toy...)

-wanting to have the same conversation / tell the same joke multiple times

-stimming in public or private

-stuttering

-repeating words or phrases, taking a long time to form a sentence

-being hyperempathetic / hyper emotional, spontaneous tears/outbursts/etc.

-on the other hand lack of apparent emotion, appearing disinterested / apathetic

-meltdowns

-not wanting to be put into social situations, being excessively tired

-our interests

kind things you can do for your autistic friends:

-letting us infodump to you

-listening to us when we’re having trouble making much sense, asking helpful questions, being patient with us

-“can I hug you?” goes a long way

-providing more food options / having our samefood available, eating can be really difficult for a lot of us

-helping them if they need help with social situations, like calling in for food or talking to a salesperson. these things can get really hard for us some days.

-letting us stim and not being judgemental

-giving us space when we need it without getting offended

-if you think we’re having a meltdown or sensory overload (you may be able to tell by our mask dropping, appearing disinterested, twitching, using their body to stim (maybe aggressively), etc.) here are some things you can do:

-if they’re violently stimming, ask them gently to open their hands if you think they might hurt themself

-use clear language to communicate with them

-be calm, please don’t yell

-offer them a way out of whatever situation they’re in

autistic ppl can add on, allistics can rb but be quiet

YES

☀️💕

Just going to keep going bc what the hell else is there to do!
