HELLO AUTISM COMMUNITY!
I’m sorry, but I’ve gotta rant. The other day I was in New York, and I saw this billboard:
Look a little closer:
Yep, you’re seeing this right. Autism Speaks. On a billboard with Julia. Sesame Street has joined forces with our “pals” (and by pals I mean enemies that we wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole) over at Autism Speaks. Julia, a character who has been embraced and loved by the autism community, is now the face of Autism Speaks, an organization that has hurt our community more than it has helped. I am heartbroken. This character has made me, as an autistic person, so happy and gave me hope that autism is starting to become more accepted by society. And although I don’t speak for everyone in the autism community, I know that there are many people who felt the same way. But now that this character is the face of an ableist movement which pushes the idea that autism is a disease in need of a cure, that hope is gone. PLEASE reblog this to get the word out, whether you’re on the autism spectrum or not.
I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP! March 30, 2019, I found a package on my doorstep with nothing written on it, meaning, there was no addresses or names to be found. Inside there was a notebook and a pencil. The notebook is completely filled. I think what was written in here was meant to be a whole ass book if I’m being honest. And that thought is really upsetting to me because somehow this ended up with me, and not the editor that it must have been going to. I feel terrible… after reading a few pages it is very obvious to me that someone poured a lot of time and effort into this and I have no way of figuring out who wrote it or who it was going to. I already threw out the box because it rained a lot the day before I saw it; the box was trashed and smelled like garbage. (Not about to bring that smell into my house…) Okay, this is the part where I need your help! Please reblog this, I don’t care who you are or how many followers you have, I need to know if they’re here and how this ended up with me. Also, If anyone knows a writer living in the Egg Harbor, New Jersey area who may have possibly sent their work to a publisher recently and/or owned a notebook resembling this one:
please contact me with any questions you have or information on who they are. I can’t do it without some help! SO PLEASE! HELP ME FIND THIS PERSON! I will be posting updates soon.

Where was the rape joke? It’s been a few years since I last watched AOU, but now I need to know so I can point it out to people.
okay, so i saw a post on my dash about the aou scene with thor and tony, and i obviously didn’t want to comment on the post, so i’m writing my piece here.
age of ultron was trash. that movie was garbage and joss whedon and his mannist bullshit perpetuated most of that movie. otherwise, we wouldn’t have so much sexism, so much deterioration of characterization, so much alpha masculinity between the superheroes.
tony making a rape joke. in which universe would tony stark make a rape joke????
thor (a god) lifting a human up by his neck in front of his friends and his friend’s lack of reaction.
natasha’s entire arch with bruce
all of these scenes illustrate just how much joss whedon doesn’t understand the character’s he’s writing. he wants a macho showdown between thor and tony (parallel to his first movie), he wants macho men all sitting around and laughing at rape jokes, he wants minimize natasha’s entire character into being a broken mary sue because she can’t have kids (because adoption doesn’t exist).
joss whedon is trash, his writing is trash, and every problematic thing that happened in aou is joss whedon and thanos looking ass.
“All the legends are true.”
Let’s keep fighting for our show guys!!!
bare minimum stuff i wish all cis people knew:
basic understanding of what transgender/trans means
what a trans woman is, what a trans man is, and what a nonbinary person is (and recognition there are identities under that umbrella even if they don’t know the specifics)
what (gender) pronouns are and why it’s important to respect them
why it’s good for cis people to normalize sharing pronouns
how to use they/them pronouns
why gender-neutral bathrooms are important
basic knowledge of what kind of jokes are transphobic
basic understanding that trans people face violence and discrimination
like i do not expect everyone to have a degree in Trans Studies but this is basic basic stuff you can learn to help us be comfortable and have a foundation for deeper discussions on trans topics. it would take maybe a few hours or less to get a general understanding of these things.
i don’t want to have to explain all of this every time i ask if we can do pronouns in introductions, add gender-neutral bathrooms to accessibility info, introduce someone who uses they/them pronouns, etc. if people took just a little time to learn this on their own it would be so helpful.
(cis people feel free to reblog this, and i encourage you to do some reading on anything here you don’t know about)
