dear autistics who
white

not need 24/7 support
can work independently
can pay taxes
language privileged
intellectual & cognitive privileged
who can fit in societal definition of useful & productive (yes, even if hard)
when fight back against eugenics & ableism, you NEED to fight alongside, fight with, n fight for autistics who
radicalized & POC
from places of world where there critically lack autism knowledge n support
visibly autistic
higher support needs
need 24/7 care
can’t work independently or even work at all
can’t pay taxes
nonverbal, nonspeaking, minimally verbal, without functional communication, or cannot communicate via language at all even AAC
w intellectual disability or cognitive disabilities
who cannot fit into society definition of useful n productive, no matter how hard we try
because we always are & always will be primary target.
because we most vulnerable most marginalized within our, OUR community, which you belong in.
because once they finish us off you won’t be spared.

When I was young and dreamy, I longed to be a poet, not one with his arms wrapped around the universe or on his knees before a goddess, not waving from Mount Parnassus nor wearing a cape like Lord Byron, rather just reporting on a dog or an orange. But one soft night in California I walked outside during a party, lay down on the lawn, beneath a lively sky and after an interlude of nonstop gazing, I happened to swallow the moon, yes, I opened my mouth in awe and swallowed the full moon whole. And the moon dwelled within me when I returned to the lights of the party, where I was welcomed back with understanding and hilarity and was recognized long into the night as The Man Who Swallowed the Moon, he who had walked out of a storybook and was dancing now with a girl in the kitchen.
Billy Collins Water, Water, 2024

Joe Biden declared an end to the pandemic, and other world leaders followed suit. The Doctors and public health experts who are qualified to make such a determination never said such a thing.
An emergency being over doesn't mean the threat is gone. The Chernobyl disaster no longer being an emergency doesn't mean it's safe to wander around in the area surrounding the reactor. The same thing applies to covid. It's not "endemic." It's not suddenly "just a cold." It's still a continuing, developing threat, especially with the reality of long covid.

Heard an interview on NPR of a 'small mother-daughter hair accessories company, working from the dining room table at home...' thats business will be affected by the tariffs because 'we manufacture in China!'!!! And if one good thing comes of these horrible stupid tariffs I hope it stops all these American 'small business owners 🥺' from obfuscating their participation in imperial exploration. And I hope everyone finally processes that all the fanart acrylic keychains and plushies of niche microcelebrities ocs that are just 'supporting small artists!!' are manufactured in the same way everything else is thats consumed by this ugly country is.
