So much time/effort/resources are wasted trying to change HARMLESS #ActuallyAutistic behaviours that are just different e.g. lining up toys, "loud hands", which could be better spent on helping people's difficulties and supporting them to live more fulfilling lives.

Yesterday, one of their colleagues was charged with the abduction and murder of a woman simply walking home.

Today, they waited until it got dark and then arrested women standing vigil in mourning.

Honestly, seeing male @metpoliceuk officers handling and arresting women peacefully protesting at the #ClaphamVigil is making me feel sick. Solidarity to all there to honour our women lost at the hands of men. #EnoughIsEnough #ArrestYourOwn #ThisIsAVigil #ReclaimTheStreets

Women are not obligated to recount their deepest trauma to convince men there is a problem. Men are obligated to believe us the first time, and fucking do something about it.

Stop using micropenises as an insult or a joke. This is intersexism and transphobia. It's not ok.

Tourette’s isn’t just the vocal & motor tics you see and hear.

It also can include: rage, depression, anxiety, being bullied & abused, mental tics, mobility problems, speech difficulties, injuries, not being able to do various daily tasks etc etc etc

If you are considering bringing in new school policy, and you are told that the policy is inaccessible for disabled kids, the answer is not bringing in exemptions for disabled kids. Because what about the many kids who don't even KNOW they're disabled, but do know how they learn?

*disabled people shouldn't complain, we accommodate them*

[Gregory Mansfield @GHMansfield]

Disability is not necessarily deficit.
It is difference.

Disability is not inferiority.
It is difference.

When difference becomes the basis for devaluation and oppression, it is bigotry and injustice.

Disability is difference.

[Diary of a Disabled Person🍉 @WheelerDax]

Calling out inspiration porn is not the same as shitting on people's achievements.
Calling out a child being put in a potentially dangerous situation for "the feels" is not criticising the child's achievements.
Do you really think I'd bully a kid? Really?

[brighter days ☁️ @tyrathetaurus]

y’all be thinking you’re trolling vegans by posting your plates of dead animals but that shit truly looks like crap & id rather eat my own foot.

[Beth Firmin @BethFirmin97]

@tyrathetaurus Imagine putting yourself through that just because you think it will offend vegans.🤢 And calling us "poor luvs" when we're lucky enough to not eat that.😅
