Intracommunity transmisogyny is among the worst because apart of its power is holding queer spaces as a hostage against transfems, that these spaces will be killed (cut off from us) if we don't meet the demands of their captor.

Personal Autistic Experience Reminders

You hate drinks served in the short round teacups with thick rims and impossibly small handles. Tea, obviously, but especially latte like drinks. You’re afraid of cracking your teeth on the reinforced edges, and you often do. You’re afraid of spilling and the cup happily obliges and swishes your drink all over the plate. The tea cups make the drink taste clinical. You worry every time you set the thing down that it is going to rock back and forth (and spill) and you have an impossibly hard time finding the groove it slots into on the plate. All around 0/10 do not recommend.

You sleep on your left side, so pick your side of the bed accordingly. Applies to flights as well. If you pick the other side, the middle or the aisle, you are not going to be getting any sleep. For shorter flights, aisle is good because then you can get yourself to the toilet without disturbing anyone, and looking down the aisle makes things less cramped. You have to account for people and snagging you every time they walk by though, and the food carts and flight attendents making frequent stops.

You don’t like to be rushed during purchases even if you came all the way out to get something or investigate it. You’ve made bad decisions before being rushed, and you’ve learned your own likes. You like to take your time comparing and analysing an item’s features, and you may just save it for another day until you are sure. If the ONE thing you are sure works for you is out of stock you are taken aback at suddenly having to pivot. If, on the other hand, you love it, you just buy it on the spot now because favourites are hard to find. You also like to get things done and prefer to leave as soon as possible and tick the task off your list. 

You will sense a microchange in your body so be extra gentle with yourself after a dentist visit, new haircut, trying a new method or item. You will be disoriented, probably not like it, you may even go through a period of mourning. Remember to not schedule some kind of taxing social activity or event before or after those days because if you’re dreading/anticipating it you will not have the capacity and you will be impacted afterwards no matter how well you think you are going to take it. You once cried a whole entire day because the shape of your tooth changed. You’re probably going to be inconsolabe. 

You will not be able to sleep if there is a mini fridge inside the hotel room or studio apartment so take this into account and go for something else. You can try to unplug it but the cable is usually hidden inside a built in cabinet. Cold groceries is great, no sleep is not. Ideally, you need both. Not to mention, needing to go around the entire room and cover lights coming off of electronics/unplugging them, draping tapestries and blankets over the blinds because they are usually 0.0001% light blocking and generally not being able to rest until you set up the room for sleep. You’re still not going to be able to sleep that first night in the ‘new’ place, so when you consider that last minute one night getaway, make it multiple, or don’t go at all. 

Your morning routine is non-negotiable. It takes you as long as it takes to get yourself ready and you want to do it in complete silence and without someone pressuring you to get out of the door, because every aspect of it is stress sensitive and you’re not okay for the rest of the day if you skip any step. You can’t digest cardboard at top speed washed down with coffee. You can’t just ‘use the toilet at work’ instead. You can’t skip the meal and have something else later. There aren’t something else’s. It’s why you’re this way. You’ve tried everything and THIS is what works. 

You don’t like art markets. You want to support local artists you just don’t want to have to walk up to stalls and stand awkwardly with the expectation of eye contact, conversation or purchases. You don’t know what to do with yourself in these venues; the set up confuses you. People are roaming casually and you are intentionally trying to be casual and it’s just an akward mess. Today you walked into a very small market, looked at three stalls, stopped to speak to someone you met once a few days ago who invited you to the event, leafed through his amazing book, panicked, and left. You don’t like these markets no matter how many times you forget and get out there to see what people are making.

To be continued.

south africa was banned in the olympics in 1964, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988 & 1992. a total of 8 times. for 28 years they didn't set foot in the olympics. you know why? apartheid. apparently the olympics disagreed with the apartheid regime in south africa. russia & belarus aren't allowed to take part in the olympics this year. you know why? because of their involvement in the war in ukraine. several countries throughout history haven't been allowed to participate in the olympics because of various reason from their involvement in war to human rights abuses. now if the olympics aren't blind to all that... why in the world are they blind to what israel has been doing to gaza for the past 10 months? why is a genocidal apartheid nation allowed to participate in the olympics when any other country in its place would've been banned?

a former US president gets shot at and rather than trend himself he causes supernatural to trend instead because everyone is sharing the news via the destiel meme. unparalleled

QUICK REMINDER

In the US: threatening government officials is a felony under federal law (the president in particular is protected under 18 U.S.C. § 871). Even memes.

be careful with your jokes if they spill over to active officials.

Macklemore cancels his show in Dubai to boycott the UAE in solidarity with the people of Sudan:

“At the end of the day I have to ask myself what is my intention as an artist? […] Although dismantling systemic oppression might not fully happen during my lifetime, our collective analysis is evolving. That is where it starts. When we realize our individual liberation IS Palestinian liberation. Is Sudanese liberation. Is Congolese liberation.”

He also writes:

“The last 10 months l've been learning what factors/motivators feed genocide and global systemic oppression. I keep getting led back to self interest over collective interest at the root. Capitalism is the glue that holds this ideology together. And if I take the money, while knowing it doesn't sit right with my spirit, how am I any different than the politicians l've been actively protesting against?”

Last summer I was on a very expedited acid come up at a music festival and my entirely unaware mother thousands of miles away was at costco and texted me incredulous at how they already had halloween stuff out for sale in the summer but all I saw was a message preview of a giant 10 foot tall skeleton with glowing eyes and "can u believe it??"

As someone who grew up with "I'm not going to praise you for doing what's expected of you; that's not being good, that's doing the bare minimum" I want to encourage you to celebrate every little thing you can. Everything that takes energy and effort should be appreciated and you're allowed to be happy about trying.
