Been reflecting on the years passed since Sia had that whole controversy with the autistic community and in light of the somewhat recent news (I know it's been a few months but I have been dealing with medical trauma stuff so I wasn't ready to speak about it till now) that Sia discovered she's autistic and I'm happy she finally found that part of herself but I'm still so sad over her empty-feeling apologies she's put out and I just really hope this can be an opportunity to reflect on the situation and put out a more genuine apology and to tell her fans to stop attacking autistic people who are rightfully upset.

It's just this thing has hurt so much because I can't listen to her music without feeling that sadness over the harm she caused. All I want is an apology that directly addresses the extent of the harm. It's not an irredeemable action to me but I just want to know she's going to change for the better.

Idk how to explain the mourning process that you can go through when someone who's done something horrible especially to an aspect of your identity like that.

I want to listen to her music because so much of it has gotten me through so much hardship especially with medical trauma and an abusive family member and I can't really find music that is like hers because it's so unique but it just hurts to listen to.

Idfk man. Music is so important to me and I'm exhausted. Here's to hoping for the better.

My hottest take on disability media is that this film (as much as it deserved a good 90% of it's backlash; my GOD it was ableist, harmful, horribly written, horribly paced, and clearly not well thought-out) ...would NOT have been as poorly received had the titular character had low-support needs as opposed to high.

I'm serious. I saw that some of y'all's knee-jerk reactions were "AUTISTIC PEOPLE DON'T ACT LIKE THAT!" and "BUT I'M NOT LIKE THAT!" and... I mean? Yeah? She's one girl, she obviously can't represent the whole spectrum.

But I'm sick of this lateral ableism, "I'm-not-like-other-girls"-esque attitude some of us Autistics have towards the others. We learn to look down upon those who can't take care of themselves or get by in the world like we can; the ones who can't mask; the ones who are sometimes dealt the most abuse in life because they'll never have the privilege of being able to verbally speak up against it or live without a caretaker. Because what often happens is:

Autistic people who need a lot more support than we do wind up becoming allistics' Default Setting™️ idea of Autism.

Autistic people who are very different (usually more independent, sharper intellect and maybe inclined towards more mature[?] interests) then come into those allistic people's lives.

The allistics then begin to infantalize them the same way they infantalize the Default Setting™️ Autistic people around them, then refuse to listen when asked/begged to stop; denial of autonomy.

Instead of directing the VERY warranted disgust, anger and resentment towards the ableist allistic people doing this to us, we direct it towards the initial victims of this treatment; who, frankly, ALSO don't deserve to be treated like literal babies or burdens like that in the first place!

Instead of trying to find solidarity? In-fighting ensues.

I don't know, that's always irked me and it's been in my brain for like four years. Because think about how much we learned in a short period of time around the movie's release. The woman...

Forced a 14-year-old Allistic child to imitate a disabled person when she didn't want to;

TAUGHT her to do so via forcing her to watch meltdown videos filmed & posted by Autistic kids' parents (likely without the child's consent);

Dissed Autistic actresses online for no fucking reason, really.

Named a movie after a disabled child character who's treated more like a prop and isn't even centered in the film's story (and lowkey repeated the pattern twice, if you guys remember Felix's storyline. He was just shoved into this for like... sadness points?)

Teams up with the "most popular" Autism organization even though it has been VERY accessible and public knowledge for years that they've earned a pretty negative reputation for themselves.

Portrays unnecessary prone restraint as a GOOD thing.

...And has MULTIPLE instances of questionably racist undertones. Including within the first 5 seconds of the film.

And yet, some of y'all's priority was the fact that "I'm not like that! I'm FUNCTIONAL!"

...Yeah. Yikes.

Something tells me that Music would've gotten significantly less backlash had Maddie been made to portray somebody who could consistently speak verbally, stimmed in more subtle ways, and didn't have so many meltdowns.

We feel so much shame & discomfort at just sharing a diagnosis with somebody more disabled than ourselves that we will reject it (and them) the moment it happens, without a second thought. Because the thought of being treated by abled society as even more disabled than we are already terrifies us. Because we KNOW that disabled people as a whole are not treated well.

Hell, clearly Sia internalized something like that as well because she wound up being diagnosed as Autistic herself, and she WROTE the damn thing!

Yeah, I've... got a couple of words for all this. 😬

Assimilation. Trauma. Internalized ableism, even. Let's unpack that in 2025, please!

You know what, hazbin hotel poison is basically just like sia music but for s/a instead of autism.

Both claim to take their respective topic seriously but portray them incorrectly at multiple points, are basically making money off of a catchy song about a serious subject, and show the wrong way to help and support people affected by what they're trying to talk about and present it as if it's the correct way.

This.

"ugh why are people complaining about Xship instead of Yship i swear this was the worst of the fandom except the PROSHIPPERS"

....

DO YOU HEAR YOURSELVES

"i don't want people policing my ships if you don't like em don't watch them"

SO YA ALL FUCKING AGREE AND JUST WANT TO BULLY PEOPLE

Ya all just a bunch of fucking cowards that hide behind the moltitude in exchange of feeling good against someone who usually is just minding their fucking business but ya all think their existence is enough to attack them

THE FUCK ARE YA ALL FUCKING CATHOLICS!?

"oh racists and proship do not interact"

COOL TO KNOW YOU THINK A FUCKING JPG IS AS IMPORTANT AS A IRL PERSON.

look at me in the fucking eyes. Even if you don't think what i just said. THAT is what the proship do not interact is

It's a neon sign

That tells people who know

"this person is an incognita because they may send you gore or just disagree with you"

ESPECIALLY BECAUSE EVEN THEIR DEFINITION OF PROSHIPPER KEEPS CHANGING

i saw someone saying X ship was proship

And another anti saying they didn't want PROSHIPPERS to touch their FICS of said ship!

Because that is the reality. Especially because morality is the most stupid thing to base a piece of human expression on.

Because there is this thing on this shit ass planet, we are not all from the same fucking country or religious base

Ya all LOVE to be like "ew why you do you ship that" AND COMPLETELY IGNORE HOW HUMANS WROTE ABOUT THE WEIRDEST SHIT SINCE WE ARRIVED ON THIS BALL OF MUD

Look at mythology and tell me. TELL ME I'LL WAIT HOW MANY OF THOSE UNIONS WOULD BE CONSIDERED WRONG BY YA ALL PURITANS

ya all make my grandma feel like the most progressive person i know

MY GRANDMA WHO IS A FERVENT CATHOLIC HOME SHUT IN

how is this not a parody

[sailorplutoirl]

No because Sapphire Shores so so underrated like how are you gonna tell me the PONY OF POP with her amazing voice (put respect on Rena Anakwe), did NOT in fact get a song, but the ding dang SIA PONY with her bum of ass design got this boring ass song that no one really remembers or cares about?? Sapphire Shores deserves better she is so cool and friendly, a bit demanding but she just wants the best!

Introvert: Akhir dari Perjalanan Hati yang Pernah Berisik?

Kita nggak lahir jadi manusia yang diam. Dulu, kita pernah riang. Pernah jadi sosok yang over-sharing tentang hal-hal kecil yang bikin hati kita berbunga. Kita pernah perhatian, peduli sama orang, nyimpen tenaga buat nyelametin friendship atau relationship yang kelihatan nyaris patah. Kita pernah jadi matahari kecil buat orang-orang, meski diri sendiri sering kali kehabisan cahaya.

Tapi dunia—ah, dunia itu nggak selalu ngerti. Balasan yang kita dapat kadang nggak sepadan. Semakin keras kita peduli, semakin sering kita diabaikan. Semakin banyak kita kasih perhatian, semakin sering dianggap biasa. Itulah titik pertama, di mana kita mulai sadar: ternyata nggak semua yang kita kasih akan dihargai.

Slowly, kita step back. Kita coba ngerti, mungkin kita yang terlalu intense, mungkin dunia cuma nggak bisa nangkep vibes kita. Lalu fase kedua datang—fase bingung antara mau tetap jadi diri sendiri atau mulai nahan diri. Akhirnya kita tone down suara kita, meringkas kehadiran kita, sampai orang nggak sadar kalau kita lagi menjauh. Kita jadi lebih diam, bukan karena nggak punya kata, tapi karena rasanya nggak ada yang perlu diucap.

Dan begitulah, fase terakhir tiba. Kita jadi introvert. Bukan karena “oh ini watakku sejak lahir,” tapi karena kita pernah jadi kebalikan dari itu dan sadar semua usaha kita berakhir sia-sia. Introvert adalah reaksi, bukan watak. Bentuk pertahanan hati yang capek jadi manusia full of effort. Kita berhenti mencari validasi, kita berhenti jadi yang “selalu ada” buat semua orang, karena ternyata… nggak ada yang benar-benar ada buat kita.

Menjadi introvert itu seperti menyelamatkan diri sendiri dari kebisingan. Bukan berarti kita anti-sosial, kita cuma lebih selektif. Lebih nyaman di balik tembok keheningan yang kita bangun sendiri. Kita jadi lebih mengamati, lebih banyak listen, lebih banyak merenung daripada berdebat. Karena, what’s the point? Toh, kita udah pernah mencoba jadi versi paling “ceria” kita, tapi tetap nggak berguna di mata dunia.

Dan jangan salah, ada kekuatan di balik keheningan kita. Kita nggak lagi butuh semua orang. Kita memilih yang layak. Kita menyadari kalau “nggak apa-apa jadi biasa-biasa aja, nggak apa-apa sendiri dulu.” Mungkin orang-orang bakal bilang kita aneh, aloof, atau apalah. Tapi sebenarnya, kita cuma exhausted. Keheningan ini adalah cara kita recharge, cara kita ngebalikin tenaga yang dulu pernah habis karena terlalu over-give.

Jadi, kalau ada yang tanya, kenapa kita jadi diam? Sederhana. Karena kita pernah jadi terlalu berisik dan sadar, dunia nggak selalu dengerin. Introvert bukan tentang anti-social. Itu tentang kita yang udah enough dengan segala kebisingan dan memutuskan: sometimes peace means saying nothing at all.

Kita pernah riang, tapi di titik ini, kita memilih tenang.

Sia Ida Magli sia Oriana Fallaci hanno visto arrivare il pericolo in anni nei quali il tema non era all'ordine del giorno. Entrambe hanno colto l'inconciliabilità tra il sistema liberale e il radicalismo islamico. Motivo che spiega la necessità di controllare i confini, governare i flussi e di stare molto attenti a concedere la cittadinanza. La Fallaci già ne parlava esplicitamente nei reportage ai tempi della guerra del Golfo (1991). Molto prima della famosa Trilogia post 11 settembre 2001. Le immagini del Capodanno anti-italiano andato in scena in Piazza del Duomo a Milano, al grido di Allah Akbar, non possono essere una sorpresa.

bulimofobia o distopie immaginarie

Immaginiamo di coniare il neologismo bulimofobia. Bulimofobia, detestare la bulimia e bulimofilia , vorrebbe dire amare, e molto chi vomita.

Una sensazione inebriante e geniale, ottenuta senza danneggiare nessuno, a voi cosa vi cambia, una persona che vomita ha messo e tolto dal suo stomaco cibo pagato con i suoi soldi o con quelli dei genitori, sicuramente non della comunità. Peccato l’esofago e i denti che crollano, peccato le ossa che crollano, peccato che la psiche crolli e diventi sempre più dipendente dal vomito, migliaia e migliaia di calorie quotidianamente mangiate e vomitate.

Bulimofobia: la parola non esiste perché al momento la bulimia non ha valenza politica, le persone che vomitano non hanno ancora fatto i pride e non hanno arruolato il loro comportamento sotto l’egida dei diritti e la protezione dei partiti democratici.

Immaginiamo di vivere in una società dove la bulimofobia sia vietata, sia perseguita come il più grave dei reati. Immaginiamo che un gruppo di medici, medici un po’ particolari, per esempio medici che non facciano gastroscopie e non controllano gli esami del sangue, che quindi che non vedono la esofagite, il potassio troppo basso tipici del vomito involontario, diciamo degli psichiatri, dichiarino che

Esistono le “bulimiche” come categoria: mangiare e vomitare cioè non è un comportamento, ma una struttura, una maniera di essere, qualcosa che fa parte dell’identità.

Le bulimiche nascono bulimiche e muoiono bulimiche: essendo la bulimia un’identità, non accoglierle e rifiutarle è intollerante e malvagio.

Il vomito auto indotto una forma di normalità, lo dichiarino per votazione: è evidente che tutto questo non è scienza, ma anti scienza.

E ora immaginiamo che i medici che dichiarano i danni fisici e psichici e ricordino che è un comportamento reversibile siano perseguiti.

basta guardarsi intorno....🤔

" Il volto del colonialismo inglese si rivelò in tutta la sua brutalità in Sudafrica. I bianchi si erano impadroniti dell'88 per cento delle terre, mentre i neri, con la Legge sulla terra dei neri, il Natives Land Act, del 1913, avevano perso ogni diritto di proprietà. Fu l’inizio della politica razzista di segregazione dei neri in “riserve per gli indigeni”. Ma siccome questo processo non funzionò, nel 1948 fu introdotto il sistema dell'apartheid. Nel 1949 furono proibiti i matrimoni misti e nel 1950 la popolazione fu catalogata secondo quattro gruppi razziali: bianchi, indiani, gente di colore e neri, con questi ultimi relegati in bantustan. Almeno tre-quattro milioni di neri furono segregati con la forza in queste zone loro riservate. Mentre ai neri che rimanevano, per ragioni di lavoro, in zone “bianche”, era vietato accedere a scuole, locali pubblici, mezzi di trasporto, riservati ai soli bianchi. I leader del movimento anti-apartheid, tra i quali Nelson Mandela, furono condannati all'ergastolo. Ma la repressione del governo non riuscì a soffocare la ribellione degli africani. Sia i lavoratori sia gli studenti neri diedero vita a una serie di scioperi e di manifestazioni che lentamente fece entrare in crisi il sistema dell'apartheid. La svolta avvenne nel 1990 quando il primo ministro Frederik De Klerk annunciò in Parlamento la rimozione della messa al bando del Congresso nazionale africano e il rilascio dei prigionieri politici. Dopo ventisette anni di carcere, Nelson Mandela fu liberato. Nel 1994 si svolsero le prime elezioni su base non razziale e, il 10 maggio, Mandela divenne il presidente del Sudafrica. Anche qui le Chiese dei bianchi, tanto cattoliche quanto anglicane e protestanti, appoggiarono in larga maggioranza il sistema dell'apartheid. Ma un piccolo gruppo profetico, composto dall'arcivescovo cattolico di Durban, Denis Hurley, dal pastore della Chiesa riformata Beyers Naudé e dall'arcivescovo anglicano Desmond Tutu, guidò la resistenza dei neri contro l’apartheid.

It's almost time for Christmas music to start playing and her entire Christmas album was such a huge stim for me, I miss it so much!!

TW SIA

IM SO UPSET BECAUSE SIAS MUSIC IS SO STIMMY TO ME AND I MISS IT SO MUCH 😭 do any of you still listen to her music, like an “enjoy the art, not the artist” thing? I’m a little hesitant unless I downloaded them from YouTube so she doesn’t get any money, or very little. I don’t know.

There was a post I saw that had a short clip of when Team 7 encounters Sasuke for the first time at Orochimaru's hideout. Sasuke had apparently called Sia a weakling with something along the lines of "That's my replacement? I thought the team already had a weakling." (I'm paraphrasing from memory). Some people in the comments assumed he was talking about Sakura instead of Sai.

Is this true he was referring to Sakura as the "weakling?" Or is it just antis hating on Sakura again?

Sasuke didn't say anything about the team. In the Viz translation, he mentioned Sai being his replacement, but he didn't say anything about how there was already a weakling on the team:

Sasuke described him as a weakling due to his perspective on protecting bonds, which he viewed as a weakness, not a strength.
