I didn't read Baldwin until I was an adult but I really wished someone had forced me to read The Fire Next Time when I was in middle school. This passage in particular:

I super love telling ABA ‘therapists’ where to go...

Fuck you, @JNeurosci, for publishing this ableist piece of trash.

Autistics (vs controls) "were much more likely to reject the opportunity to earn ill-gotten money by supporting a bad cause" https://t.co/WanFNwgoHi intepreted as autistic deficits: failure to consider social reputation, inflexibility, over-sensitivity to immoral actions

@Forsberg370 I think you might have a typo in the last section, first paragraph; shouldn’t the year be 2016, not 2012? 🙂

The “Is it ashma or anxiety?” game is always suuuuuuper fun. #BeingSarcastic #ActuallyAutistic #Anxiety #Asthma

How To Make Your Social Movement More Inclusive of Neurodiversity by @E_Kess

1. Don’t expect everyone to do the same amount of work.

2. Accept people who are flaky, and find ways to include them.

3. Use diverse forms of communication.

4. Don’t over-pack your schedule.

I feel like picking out a purple ~circumcised~ soft packer w my gf to help w my newly-discovered dysphoria is kind of a peak queer Jew moment for me. 😁🥰

#AskingAutistics and #ActuallyAutistics: what do you call it when you go nonverbal or nonspeaking for long periods of time during a shutdown?? How do you explain it to people in your life? Currently closing in on 2wks nonspeaking, and really not sure how to talk about this. 💜

You do not have to be the 'most marginalised of all' in order for your marginalisation (and the trauma that comes with it) to be valid.

Someone else having a worse experience that you does not mean your experience doesn't count. But it does mean you need to listen to them.

You all will go out of your way to talk about a disability issue without ever uttering the word “disability.”

[Erin Ekins (she/her) @QueerlyAutistic]

Hannah Gadsby straight up saying that she was starting off her show in a way that wouldn't necessarily endear people to her because often autistic people don't make the best first impression and she wanted to reward people who bothered to stick around was a power move.

Dear White People; Gonna need y'all to sit this one out. Black folks who have been black for long enough can identify the difference between an awkward ally and a virulent racist. We good.

At any rate, thx for sticking through everything 💖
My content is queer, kink-friendly, and I get to use an assistive device (my corset that stops my muscle spasms & helps brace my spine) in my content, too!! 💖

So, for a lot of reasons, I have been absent from this platform for quite a while. Life happens, yk? And being disabled plus having the personal freedom to do what *actually* makes me happy has led to me to sex work.

as well as dealing w the trauma and abuse of my last LTR. I am lucky that I find SW to be empowering, uplifting, and healing for me: it's a way to reclaim my body, and find value in the joy it brings to me and, hopefully, other people.
