I think some of you forgot that autistic people sometimes act strange and say things that are poorly worded and speak with incorrect tone and misunderstand or miss social cues because they are autistic

protec the baby trans
Blåhaj says: "Protect trans kids"
daunted
A customer contacted our team with questions, and then finished their email with: "I am daunted by the complexities and unknowns." I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.
have you read / watched "Holes"?
I'm just saying, if there's a curse that runs along your family line and you don't tell your kids about it, how the hell are they supposed to go on a quest to stop it?
What's distressing, but also important to understand, about JK Rowling hitting the "Denying trans people were targeted in the Holocaust" point is that it's kind of the last stop before she just goes full alt-right weirdo.
Joanne is denying the Holocaust (if a group was targeted, denying they were targeted is Holocaust denial) and that's going to lead to pushback from historians and experts. But Joanne is too deep in to believe what anyone who disagrees with her says, so she's just going to dismiss what those historians and experts tell her. And once she's disbelieving them about that one thing, well it's just a tiny step to start disbelieving them about other things.
This isn't by accident either, transphobic circles are swarming with far right agitators, ready to use hatred of trans people as an in to recruit people into their causes. They have handbooks for this sort of thing and they are, unfortunately, good at it. I suspect Joanne will be spouting coded versions of Great Replacement stuff by the end of the summer.
This is not a plea to try and pull Joanne out. She's too deep in, and even if she wasn't, she's already demonstrated an inability to examine her own prejudices, an unwillingness to hear criticism and a weakness to flattery. She is perfect recruitment bait for people who know what they're doing, and my impression is she's surrounded herself with people like that.
No, this is to understand two things: First is to use her as an example, to understand how a well meaning liberal can chase their own prejudices down a very dark rabbit hole. We are none of us immune to propaganda and even if we can't change what's happened to her, we can at least use it to protect ourselves.
And second is to understand that one of the main reasons you can't pull Joanne out of the transphobic pipeline is cause she is the pipeline now. She is the transphobic banner bearer now, she is funneling money and attention to these groups, she is their most famous celebrity and she is helping recruit people. Being able to show people how far she's gone, how deep into the right wing rabbit hole she's going, is important to help other people who still think she just "Had some concerns" know where her path leads.
What the fuck is happening
TW: mentioning anti trans sentiment
The government has redefined extremism:
“Extremism is the promotion or advancement of an ideology based on violence, hatred or intolerance, that aims to: 1 negate or destroy the fundamental rights and freedoms of others; or 2 undermine, overturn or replace the UK’s system of liberal parliamentary democracy and democratic rights; or 3 intentionally create a permissive environment for others to achieve the results in (1) or (2).”
But has also said terfs (gEndeR CriTiCal) do not fall under this definition.
How is that not violent, hatred, intolerance, aiming to destroy the fundamental rights and freedoms of others???
fucking despicable
laughable that the tories often fit their own definition of extremists
and also laughable that they say that it's a "more precise definition" even though it's incredibly vague compared to the existing definition
I want to set something on fire peacefully make my views known aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
i don't remember what it tasted like but I remember regretting it
As a general rule, don't trust anyone who identifies as a "normal person".

slay my name.
my biggest issue with tiktok is like…yes as a 25 year old i am going to find teenagers inherently annoying so whatever. but that doesn’t mean teenagers shouldn’t have the opportunity to connect with each other and share content and explore media etc etc. HOWEVER i think tiktok sets an insane and dangerous precedent of having your Actual Face And Voice in these posts that are ultimately pretty publicly accessible to anyone. like, teenagers deserve to have spaces in which they can be cringey and embarrassing and weird and nerdy but for everyone’s sakes it should be fairly anonymous…i shudder to think of the world in which every unhinged thing i ever posted about glee or sherlock or hp or whatever had my dumb little 14 year old face attached to it for anyone to see over a decade later.
idk who needs to hear this today, but don't go lurking on ex friends and partners. nothing you see or read will make you feel better there. all you're doing is hurting your own feelings. leave them in the past and do your best to move on with your own life, to make what you have now happier rather than dwelling on things that used to be (:
some people are afraid to be corny. not me. i live life on the cob, baby.
in case you’re wondering, scar’s still at it.

Reminder: not accepted at home?
I'll be your wacky autistic aunt who accepts you and takes you shopping. And we're also stopping for overpriced ice cream and pancakes so you can tell me everything.
some of you may've heard about that fancy "bionic reading" typefont thats supposed to be easier for neurodivergent people to read (if you're unfamiliar, it bolds the first few letters of each word to make it easier to follow)
well guess what, its locked behind a $500 a month API to write in because fuck you!
introducing, Not Bionic Reading! it is literally just the bionic reading typefont but for free. god bless neocities
anyone who can, pls reblog!
angry angry angry very very angry at the way not only children but autistic children specifically are treated like just another thing to film
talked to my mom about meltdown videos and she said "well they need to share their struggle" and "its a way to say 'look what i have to deal with! stop making fun of my kid because its hard already'" and "its a way to find other people with the same problem"
problem
quiet part said out loud
fuck. fucking hell
we dont get to be kids we just get to be problems
i dont care if its hard. i dont care at all. i dont care about autism mommies' feelings i dont care if they need support, you dont GET IT by filming your children in their most vulnerable state, i dont care i dont fucking care about autism mommies at all. if youre putting your kids meltdown on the internet you're being a BAD PARENT and should feel like a BAD PERSON because you are
if you want support you go "any tips from adult autistics on managing my kids meldowns?" on facebook and then you listen
you dont film your kids crying in walmart you dont DO that
do you think you deserve to be filmed in your most vulnerable moments and put on the internet to be called a "problem". if you dont then why do you think your kid does.
whys your kid not deserving of basic respect and privacy to you. why dont you think they deserve that
two of my friends are ghosting me but I got diagnosed with autism ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ now I'm confused *and* sad
