A fluffy black cat with large white eyes lies on its side on green grass beneath a textured sky fading from blue to pale pink. White handwritten text reads: “Maybe sometimes you want to do everything so badly that you end up doing nothing at all. That’s okay. Maybe you’re more tired than you realise. I just hope you know that taking care of yourself counts as doing something, too.”

Whenever White people talk about blackface or any number of similar topics, I'm reminded how little they get it. "Like, yes, there are specific instances in history" -- No John, there was *an entire artistic movement built around it*. "Sure but today-" -- Your people never stopped mocking us, John.

Donald Trump recently removed all Title IX protections from LGBTQ people in general, not just trans people. The explicit goal is to create violent bullying that makes LGBTQ people suffer. The explicit goal is to see more Matthew Shepard and Brianna Ghey type deaths.

In a capitalist society, you're only allowed to talk about certain things and it must be done in a particular way. That's because even allowing discourse to happen allows it to exist as a possibility that can be actualized. You're not allowed to seriously discuss anything that's a threat to power.

Disabled people are over twice as likely to experience sexual assault than non-disabled people. In the US specifically, 2 in 5 women who experienced rape are disabled. Among US men who experienced sexual violence, 1 in 4 are disabled. Sexual violence is an issue of disability justice.

"I might not have been able to talk, but I knew hundreds if not thousands of words. Pretty silly to assume that just because someone can’t say something, they don’t know it." And yet, this assumption is made about nonspeakers every day in schools, care settings, and communities.

It's also understanding that autism is an intrinsic part of human diversity, of autistic people. You don't get autism outside of autistic people, and we should value and cherish them (cherish *you*) as we would any precious member of our family and society.

I’m not technically a cis man, but I am thought of as one to most people outside of queer communities, and I do this whenever I can. It really does work. If you get pushback, just ask the person to explain why they think the joke is funny. It works. It’s easy. Please do this.

Being autistic is knowing I won't fit in with others. Even after years of trying. All it will do is lead to burnout. Is that worth it ? I don't think so. At least with my own space and minimal time around others anyway it reduces the risk of anxiety or anything else for that matter massively.

As an autistic person, this is what I'm saying. It's so frustrating to have these unspoken/unwritten rules be the thing I'm being judged on, and not, y'know, my skills and experience. If you're judging candidates on unwritten/unspoken rules, you are being ableist. You just are.

Basic income isn't charity, and it isn't taking from those who've earned something to give to those who haven't. It's your natural inheritance, owed to you simply by virtue of your own inherent worth, a floor like the land we all need to stand on, not something you have to prove or earn.
