@lovelin I have Hinge, but it only tends to match me with people like over 2 hours away who don't have cars and don't want to meet on the weekend or call online. (This has happened multiple times, I'm so confused)

yeah man “it’s okay if u sell your voice forever no one will know it’s u” you can shove that 100k into hell

[Dear Former-Self @dearformer_self]

This is ableism at its finest. And normalizing this language--especially as someone who has such a large platform--has very negative real-world consequences. It's disgusting.

Dream should be ashamed of himself.

[Dear Former-Self @dearformer_self]

You're still a person, and your actions still have consequences, regardless of your labels or diagnoses. This tweet stigmatizes people who are neurodivergent by using the r-slur as a fill-in for whatever the opposite of growing up is. It's a fill-in for "Stupid", let's be real.

[Dear Former-Self @dearformer_self]

In this case, it's not changing the context to use the word in a more positive light. It's not being used to showcase the experience of someone who has history been harassed or mistreated via the usage of this word. It's only here to further insult a group of people.

[Dear Former-Self @dearformer_self]

Being a part of a marginalized group does NOT justify you marginalizing other people. You don't get to call insult someone using an ableist slur and be like, "Oh--but I have this diagnosis. So you can't criticize my blatant hate speech. "

NO! THAT'S NOT HOW THIS WORKS.

[Dear Former-Self @dearformer_self]

Disabled people can still be ableist.

Let's talk about Dream's use of the R-Slur.

Lots of people online have tried justifying this usage of the term, citing that Dream's has been diagnosed with Autism.

[Dear Former-Self @dearformer_self]

You're using the word to stigmatize and "other" people in the very same hateful way that people of that community have experienced for decades and decades and decades.

[Dear Former-Self @dearformer_self]

They can take away my rights--But they can NEVER take away my identity. I will always be myself, and I will always be proud to be a part of the LGBTQIA+ Community.

[Dear Former-Self @dearformer_self]

How could ANYONE in their right minds vote for someone so blatantly, so outwardly, so proudly racist, homophobic, violent, misogynistic, self-obsessed, ableist, and anti-freedom????? It's not like he's hiding it. He boasts about his views openly EVERY opportunity he gets!!

[Dear Former-Self @dearformer_self]

@ScottNiswander I'm basically staying off of the doomscrolling through social media until the results are in lol. But I have notifications on incase anyone DMs me.

DMs are open! Feel free to reach out if you want someone to chat with! /gen /nf

[Dear Former-Self @dearformer_self]

It's scary times right now. Depending on who wins, the country will go 1/2 VERY different ways.

Please remember that, to the Republicans, you are just a statistic. Don't let them win.

You are Beautiful. You are Valuable. You are so much more than a number. Stay safe please!‼️💙

[Dear Former-Self @dearformer_self]

LOOK LOOK!! I FEEL SO PRETTY TODAY!!

Being genderfluid, my gender fluctuates WILDY.

Sometimes, if I'm a guy for a long time, I doubt myself and wonder if I'm even genderfluid at all....

BUT THEN I HAVE DAYS LIKE TODAY AND I'M LIKE AAAAA DEFINITELY A GIRL AAAA👩🤪😝
