Also sounds like Bigelow doesn’t really get the whole “art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable” thing

Real takeaway is that I need autism influencers to focus more on systems of power and the truly powerful and wealthy as opposed to bullying randos who are probably undereducated on these things and just trying to figure out life without being taught this shit

Anyway this is brought to you by “I hate the autism community on threads, they are very annoying” lol.

Also in general, discussions like “wow ok well they have internalized ableism so they suck” I’m not here for. You probably have some too. Being ambitious especially is going to make having these kinds of disabilities really frustrating. People are allowed to feel how they feel

Also for this discourse: superpowers can also be disabling. I made a video series on a show that explores this lol this intersection is my jam.
There are positive and negative aspects to autism, there are disabling aspects and strengths.

“I don’t see my autism as a disability, it’s a superpower” yeah ok listen that shit can be real annoying and that person probably needs to expand their view of disability but we should probably at least try to check the rage and call in, not out! Especially NOW!!

Tbh the online autism community’s hang up on language is kinda pissing me off right now. We’re really coming for each other’s throats because of how someone describes their personal experience, even with all the overt fascism going on?

Be ruthless to systems and kind to individuals.

Trump admin when city-sanctioned block party: STREET TAKEOVER!

Emileigggggh @emileigh.bsky.social · 1d

1. The “street takeover” was such a nothingburger that I only heard about it from my mother who lives in VA. The dudes arrested were from RI.
2. Idk if they have games elsewhere but they’re mostly in Foxboro
3. Shoutout to Wu for being an intelligent, radical left mayor who’s about to get term 2!

Trans folks: needing medical care doesn’t make you bourgeois, this take is ridiculous. A truly liberated society would ensure we have what we need to live our best lives and do what we want with our bodies.

Valerie @vibingvalerie.bsky.social · 1d

Are women bourgeois?

Transsexualism as we conceive of it in America is bourgeois, the product of a society that venerates the freedom of an individual to choose. There is no designer vagina under communism, I'm sorry.

Acting like all farmers are right wing is a shitty generalization. Acting like everyone in a red state is a shitty generalization too.
Cut out the generalizations. Fight systems and billionaires, not individuals with no power. I get being angry, but this is so counter productive

Assuming everyone in Arkansas is right wing is hilarious considering the most famous person I can name from there is bill clinton (who is also right wing but try telling these libs that lol)

He posts lots of good info but this take is soooooo bad. And a weird hill to die on? I hate how into semantics people get about life or death things like this.

Assassin's Creed pulls planned game about the Civil War, apparently because having a black protagonist fighting the KKK would offend too many Americans

The canceled Assassin's Creed Civil War game was a powder keg waiting to explode

Ubisoft was reportedly working on a game set after the Civil War era, but canceled it due to politics and Assassins Creed Shadows backlash.

Portland frog getting pepper balled and just dancing it off… genuinely inspiring.
But yeah, just look at how unserious the right’s being. They named a government agency DOGE! I think we can wear fun outfits when protesting, I think we can have a lil fun with this!

This is just the sexism that kept bitches like me from getting diagnosed in the 90s repackaged in the weirdest way possible lmao

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Robin the Frog (if there’s a Robin in something I am likely to get obsessed)
Grover is my fave Sesame Street one because he’s also cute and possibly autistic

For sale: baby shoes, never worn. Baby got too big. Really big really fast. Not sure if we're doing something right or something wrong. This is a giant baby. They hardly ever wear shoes anyway.
