No Thanks.

you can have them back when you learn to fucking respect them as the funky lil neutral guys they are

No one could’ve seen this coming.

Except maybe everyone who has ever heard anything at all about Trump & Republicans. Or ever spoken to a conservative. Or maybe read the news one time.

Already seeing people on tiktok saying “I still hate trump but he ate with this one” like … babes … you just got propagandized … that’s literally exactly what he created this situation in the hopes you would say …

Being inclusive to autistics as an autistic is recognising and accepting that we all have conflicting wants or needs.

You may hate bright lights but another autistic may love them.

You may hate being in crowds but another autistic might love that.

You may hate tags on your shirt but another autistic may actually like having tags on their shirt.

You may love bland foods but another autistic may love rich or extreme flavours.

You may love infodumping to people but it may be too overwhelming for another autistic.

A spectrum includes all ends of extremes. And all of it deserves to be accepted and accommodated for.

In case anyone finds it helpful because mobility aids are horrifically expensive and inaccessible…

And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…

Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.

He also is working on cheap, open source, accessible designs for beach chairs, off road chairs, motorized attachments (think smart drive), and so on. Plus he skateboards in his wheelchair. Cool dude, helpful info, pass it on.

A huge number of people are already getting fucked over when it comes to being allowed to cast a vote in the upcoming elections. Let’s try to minimize what that number COULD be as much as possible. It might also be useful to have the number for the ACLU written down (or already in your phone) so you can CALL THEM while still at the polling place and get whatever information is needed in order to see about having the ACLU sue them. Write down names. Get witnesses. Take photos. MAKE IT VERY CLEAR TO THE POLLSTERS THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE. (Unless you have reason to believe they’re going to be assholes and try to have you arrested for doing so, in which case, be as subtle as possible.)

I think it’s crazy that people were allowed to get away with essentially running Ahmed (90-ghost) off of Tumblr because of a mass campaign dedicated to calling Palestinians and Gazans asking for funds “scammers”.

Like, people were really going mask off and essentially reverting to Republican ways of speaking by going “well if they’re poor, why do they have phones?” “why’s the way they talk so weird?” “[x thing white people think only exists in western countries ] doesn’t exist in Palestine”

And they were allowed to get away with it. And people listened. And people agreed. And people harassed Ahmed so bad he had to leave Tumblr. And those people are still on here, posting their regularly scheduled content like they didn’t participate in one of the worst anti Arab campaigns I’ve ever seen.

Here are some highlighted campaigns that particularly need the funds so the families running them can survive. 🇵🇸❤️ (list taken from @ibtisams blog)
