Choose Your Fighter

One of the more ridiculous things I saw recently online was someone trying to claim autistic people don’t experience ableism much because it’s a hidden disability. Then they blocked me when I said that making assumptions about the experiences of a disabled person is ableist in itself….

When studies show that underage drinking is harmful, it's banned easily. But when studies show that spanking is harmful, it remains legal and parents still insist on doing it.

Age restrictions on purchasing cigarettes pass easily. But laws prohibiting smoking where children are forced to breathe in secondhand smoke are much harder to pass.

Children under a certain age are prohibited from using most social media websites. But adults are allowed to post videos of their children's meltdowns.

Teenagers need their parents' permission to get body modifications. But parents can get their babies' ears pierced.

Anyone who genuinely wants to protect children would not panic about the children's own choices while ignoring what adults force on them. Anyone who genuinely wants to protect children would not insist that studies on the dangers of children's own choices be fully trusted and obeyed while ignoring and arguing with studies on the dangers of how adults treat children.

But many adults just want to control children, not protect them.

you do not have to be functional to be worthy of love and existence as an autistic person. if you need assistance, you are worthy. if you don’t have a job, you are worthy. if you are not social, you are worthy.

you exist. you are a person. you are inherently worthy of life and love

I love you easy to eat food, I love you subtitles, I love you accessible games, I love you auto-correct, I love you ibuprofen jell, I love you medication, I love you sleeping pills, I love you easy clothes, I love you noise cancelling headphones, I love you weighted blanket, I love you-

if i see one more SA post after blocking anything related to it, i’m going to cook everyone who does that into a god damn stew. i’m going to put on my witch hat and start cackling in such dismay.

me: i don’t want to see jellyfish so i will blacklist the tag #jellyfish

people with no common sense: je11yf1sh, je11¥fi5h, j*llyf*sh, je//ÿf!sh, j3ï||yf¡sh, gel lee fisk

result: cannot account for the sheer amount of possible ways to alter the word jellyfish

conclusion: i have to see jellyfish now.

Once again, tumblr is not tiktok, tag properly.
