dear white settlers

when someone points out your whiteness or your settlerness as reasons your opinion might not be objective, immediately mentioning how poor you were growing up is not even slightly germane, and is a signal that you do not understand the criticism at all.

[Alexander Pennington @Authoralexp]

Being a writer means having a story you want the whole world to read, except everyone who knows you.

Everyone is queer in my novels unless stated otherwise. Queerness is the default in my literary world.

Disabled people aren’t—and never have been—an acceptable loss.

[Lisa Ohanian @pwnieride]

The main reason I don’t like being the only woman in D&D groups is because one morning my noble (who was dealing with some family trauma) showed up with BANGS and none of the other players realized the emotional turmoil that this implied.

Immunocompromised & immunosuppressed people are everywhere

If you don't like being called ableist, stop being ableist.

The weird thing about being Autistic is that even if I’m not ashamed of my Autism the people around me try to be ashamed for me

[Jessi @jessithemself]

This, but also in my childhood 80 F was an unseasonably hot day, not May-October.

[Hollie @Zegmeister]

I really truly wish that the disabled, chronically ill, and immunocompromised communities had actual allies. The wall of silence on the so-called left and among so-called progressive leaders is absolutely shameful and that’s exactly how it will go down in history.

[Eric Smith @ericsmithrocks]

Hey. Yeah you. Stop re-reading all your earlier pages and just work on that new chapter.

[The Tweedy Mutant @the_tweedy]

I know this is "business as usual" -- emphasis on the business -- for all marginalized groups in the US (and why stop there? The US government hasn't!). But... fuck. It doesn't have to be this way. It could be good. None of this had to happen. None of this was inevitable.

Please continue to stay 6 feet away from me. I do not care what the CDC says

[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

Sensory overload can feel like being in the biggest crowd you can imagine, but it’s a roller disco with strobe lighting, and the room is moving so quickly that you can’t see clearly, think straight or understand what anyone is saying - multiplied by 10.

[ADHD Jesse @adhdjesse]

ADHD is constantly remembering the things you can’t currently do anything about (and then forgetting them again).
