feeling very frustrated about the ways people are talking about hurricane Milton. lots of needless, borderline fear mongering language with very little actual helpful information.
information about Milton that might ACTUALLY be helpful:
there is also a code for free Ubers to evacuate effected counties, as well as shuttles from evacuating counties to nearby storm shelters
Please for the love of God stop preying on people's fears and causing panic. Know what resources are available to you and how to access them. If you approach this hurricane carefully YOU WILL BE OKAY!!!!! YOUR LIFE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE RUINED!!!
Please link other resources you find or think other people might find useful!
Saw an ad that read "bitcoin hyperdeflation" and for a second I thought it said bitcoin hyperfixation. Weirdly made me sad that it wasn't.
Trump just declared that there are only 2 genders, so this is your reminder to get WEIRDER and QUEERER gang
please reblog the fundraisers you see on your dash. please. if you claim to care about palestine, NOW is the time to prove it. everyone said gaza will be worse off if trump wins - well, now he has. the least anyone can do now is reblog and share and DONATE to as many fundraisers as possible. especially if you're american. you want harm reduction? this is harm reduction. help gazan families.
you can't decide where to start?

pick a name. any name. read their story. realize that what you feel now, they feel everyday, a thousandfold. donate whatever you can. at the very least, reblog if you can't.
there is no excuse not to.
The propaganda really couldn't be more blatant could it...
happy autism acceptance month. this month, regardless if you're abled or disabled, allistic or autistic, try to consider if you really do accept people with autism. all aspects of autism. people who:
without volume control
talk to themselves or make sounds (seemingly) at random
have huge screaming meltdowns
stim any way, including smearing body fluids
only talk about one subject and will never "move on"
stare inappropriately
struggle with personal hygiene
are unemployed
who left education early ("dropped out")
has a carer and will always need one
don't use mouth words to communicate
have comorbid intellectual disability and don't want to separate that from their autism
autism acceptance month can't truly be about acceptance if we don't broaden our understanding of autism and confront our internal biases. these things listen above are normal parts of autism. sometimes very common. there's stigma around them, but that's stigma we can actively fight.
