@Mile_Official_ This feels super cringey, but this is a Druck fic I wrote! It’s about if the prank Sara pulled on Matteo on April Fools went differently: https://t.co/vrkuaL1ngR
It’s telling when “grown” adults in positions of power and influence are scared of, threaten, and mock an outspoken child with autism who’s simply asking those adults to leave her a habitable planet.
Why Biodegradable Straws Are Dangerous: A Thread
Personally, I've ended up with a literal mouthful of ulcers (18 one time, 24 another, etc.) because I was given a biodegradable straw and told it was plastic 😑
These things have NO ingredient lists or allergen warnings!!
I’ve sat at tables with people who would gladly deny me the right to marry, who openly support conversion therapy, and who adamantly believe being gay is a choice. Doesn’t mean they’re any less homophobic because we shared a meal.
For men who are allegedly so “proud” of being straight, they seem to show real incompetence at attracting women to their event.
Seems more like a “I-Struggle-With-Masculinity” parade to me. 🤷🏽♀️
Hope they grow enough over the next year to support / join LGBTQ fam next #Pride! 🏳️🌈
How dare you applaud as hundreds of children are left orphaned by ICE. How dare you associate danger with this community days after a mass shooting targeting their community.
This is the language of dehumanization and its only logical end is violence.

Counterpoint, why not a DOMESTIC VIOLENCE DATABASE, which actually has a far higher predictability of future violence than having a mental health condition?
And bonus point, you won't be stigmatizing mental illness and discouraging people from seeking out help! Fun times.
Reminders:
1. “Mental illness” does not mean “violent behavior that I don’t understand and want to (ignorantly) explain away.”
2. Mentally ill people are MUCH more likely to be the victims of violence than perpetrators.
3. Racism is not a mental illness.
It’s illegal to be gay in 73 countries.
You can be fired for being LGBTQ in 26 states.
46% of US workers are closeted at work; 76% of workers globally.
Trans POC are being murdered every month; young queer people are dying by suicide.
But get those Pride clicks, @TheAtlantic!
If you're still wearing a MAGA hat after baby cages, Muslim ban, pussy grabbing, Charlottesville, Pocahontas, shithole countries, NFL protests, white supremacists, Puerto Rico, Mexicans are rapists & refugees are terrorists... Don't be surprised if people assume you're a racist.
It's #PrideMonth2019 ❤🏳️🌈
Therefore have pride in being unique!
Have pride in being
beautiful inside & out!
Have pride in being open!
Have pride in knowing there is a hole community behind you!
And most importantly have pride in being yourself!
Love ❤

Subtitles aren't just for deaf people. Lots of my hearing friends use them, too. If you're hearing and find yourself using subtitles on Netflix and TV and would quite like them at the cinema, please retweet to help normalise their presence! Big thanks #DeafAwarenessWeek
