I love my autism but OCD makes my life hell.

It's really ok to have complicated and multilayered feelings about your disabilities. Disabled pride and disabled grief can coexist. Acceptance doesn't mean all positivity. You're a multifaceted human being with thoughts and emotions. You can be complex.

“Humans are inherently selfish--" Then why do so many cultures value hospitality, to the point of dictating it in their religions? Why is it so common for hosts to offer their visitors their best food, and as much of it as they can? At some point, multiple cultures decided that they knew what it felt like to be alone and vulnerable, and promised each other to never let those who stay with them feel that way. That doesn't sound very "inherently selfish" to me.

People don't actually grow out of their emo phases. People are forced out of their emo phases by employers who get a raging boner over controlling how their employees dress, cut their hair, whether they mod their bodies and so on

Slaves who escaped were breaking the law. Literally. Outright.

Jewish people who escaped the Nazis were breaking the law. Literally. Outright.

The law is a horrible judge of morality.

Investors who lose money because they were lied to can sue to compensate their losses.

Meanwhile, college students who went into debt because they were lied to are expected to accept their losses.

Poor people are expected to take responsibility. Rich people are not.

Hey tumblr maybe instead of flagging queer people’s posts you could take down ai art of celebrities nudes which they did not consent to, from the TRENDING page.

Hey tumblr.

I want to share a post from The Guardian that was published today.

“Inside the building, staffers said that Doge cultivated a culture of fear.

“It’s an extreme version of ‘who do you trust, when and how?’” said Kristina Drye, a speechwriter at the agency, who watched dozens of senior colleagues escorted out of the building by security. “It felt like the Soviet stories that one day someone is beside you and the next day they’re not.”

People started meeting for coffee blocks away because “they didn’t feel safe in the coffee shops here to even talk about what’s going on”, she added.

“I was in the elevator one morning and there was an older lady standing beside me and she had glasses on and I could see tears coming down under her glasses and before she got off her elevator she took her glasses off, wiped her eyes, and walked out,” she said. “Because if they see you crying, they know where you stand.””

Everyone should read this article about “DOGE” tearing apart USAID (and then read more reporting about how they are being allowed to do the same to other US federal entities). Elon Musk and his minions are violating our highest laws and destroying lives and livelihoods in the US and abroad. USAID is less than 1% of the federal budget— this isn’t about cost-cutting or “investigating fraud”. It’s about cruelty and seeing how much unlawful devastation and psychological warfare they can get away with, with the intention to repeat this process at one federal agency after another. They already have access to IT systems at the Treasury, NOAA, and other agencies, and have taken over OPM (essentially HR for the federal government), using the latter to send demeaning and threatening e-mail blasts to civil servants.

I’m urging everyone who reads this to recognize what’s happening here and how abhorrent and frightening it is. I wager that even most people who wanted Trump back didn’t want a centibillionaire technocrat making unilateral decisions on which parts of the federal government to “feed into the wood chipper” (as he has described his team’s actions at USAID in a recent post on X, The Everything App).

Please call your elected representatives and urge them to act against Musk now— before his actions make our legislative branch totally irrelevant.

I’ve been seeing posts about Musk’s coup-in-progress going around on here, but I feel like a lot of people still aren’t aware of the extent of it, and I really want to help get the word out. I’m heartsick for all the civil servants at USAID and beyond. Some of them, their unions, and some Democratic congresspeople and others are speaking out, but these workers need us everyday Americans to speak out for them, too.

Thank you for reading. And anyone who isn’t American, please keep us in your thoughts.

Everyone deserves a comfortable way to communicate. If oral speech is the most comfortable for you to use, use it. If high tech AAC is the most comfortable for you to use, use it. If low tech AAC is the most comfortable for you to use, use it. If sign is the most comfortable for you to use, use it. If you prefer communicating in a different way, use that.

You are not a burden, or annoying, or anything else for having different communication needs.

Your words are beautiful, and I love them.

This is why “people with vaginas” and “people with penises” and other language referring to people with certain parts is important!!

“AFAB/AMAB language has no actual impact on your daily life, it’s an internet argument. why do you care so much?”

i went to a new doctor a little while ago, and they looked up PMDD as it’s not a diagnosis they were familiar with. IAPMD’s website referred to it as a “condition affecting people who were AFAB,” so the doctor tried to remove it from my record because according to her research it “didn’t apply to me.”

bioessentialist phrases becoming hyper-normalised, especially in medical spaces like has recently been happening, has an incredibly large impact on intersex people

Trump is now ordering health agencies to stop warning Americans about bird flu and to halt publication of scientific reports.

This comes as egg prices are expected to skyrocket in the coming days.

Literally sobbing. A judge, a US judge defended us. A judge brought up intersex people, uaing the term intersex, to *defend* us by not allowing our erasure. I'm having a lot of feelings right now

Here it is. Trump signed an executive order stating that the only individuals who should have opinions on the Rule of Law are himself, as President and the Attorney General.

This is an Authoritarian power grab.

This goes against the Constitution.

MAKE SURE EVERYONE SEES THIS! WE CANNOT ALLOW THIS TO BECOME LAW!
