Stonewall was a riot. Existence is resistance.
Queer joy is activism.

In this response video, I explain the outrage at a trauma coach's choices from a trauma-informed perspective:

As the Barbie movie taught us: The patriarchy hurts everyone. This is espeically true when sexism leads to different ways of interpreting and treating meltdowns in boys vs. girls.

I love two things:
Malicious compliance
& the mouth-feel of "shmee" in front of words.

#resist #rights #justice
Text slide: Malicious compliance proposal: Adding a “shme...” to every word they put on a ban list. Examples: ShmeE.I. Shmeversity Shmesexual Shmegender Shmequality Shme-ulnerable ShmeL-GBT Other ideas include: Using old or middle English or just borrowing even more multisyllabic French words. text slide: Got other malicious compliance and/or chaotic-good ideas? Comment below!!

If you’re a member of the disability community or someone who lives in a food desert (for example) & If this day is YOUR day to get groceries delivered or your only day off in the week to run necessary errands, then it’s okay to sit this one out! There will be many, MANY future opportunities for you to resist oppression. But, as this is a marathon and not a sprint: Guilt and/or shame will wear you down faster than anything else. So it’s okay to do what you need to do to take care of yourself and your loved ones ...even if it happens to conflict with one (or a few) resistance event(s). We’re still in this together. We’ve got you.

A little PSA just in case some resistance ideas really can't apply to you -- for reasons of dealing with your own social oppression.

#resist #resistance #advocacy #burnout #shame #mentalhealth
PSA on resistance: A lot of groups are coming up with great ideas to help resist with...well, you all know what’s going on here in the U.S. So I just wanted to say a little something to anyone in a marginalized group... If a suggested way of resisting conflicts with your own accommodations in life and/or violates your sense of safety, it’s OKAY to SIT THAT ONE OUT. For example: Today (02/28/2025) is the first economic blackout. If you can participate, absolutely do! But...

"To put it another way: Batman probably has to spend way more time as Bruce Wayne than Batman, ya know? So like...figure out how to enjoy your time as Bruce so you have the energy to fight when the Bat-Signal goes off."

text slide: "Every enslaved and/or imprisoned people have stories, songs, art, and community traditions that developed while it was happening. And yes, some of this is sharing and coping with the trauma, but some of it is just...fun. " text slide: "Some of it is light-hearted romantic plays, jokes, parodies of older works, etc. So, as much as rest is essential for survival in the hardest of times... ENJOYMENT is also essential."

I made a new podcast ep of my Telepathy Tapes response aimed more at SLPs and other professionals working with autistic non-speakers:

Can't imagine a super smart non-speaker? REDFLAG. Can't imagine a himbo non-speaker? REDFLAG. Think non-speaking autistics have completely different brains than speaking autistics? RED. FLAG.

me: Autistics have telepathy??? I want some!!! Where do I sign up??
that podcast: It's just for NONSPEAKING autistics.
me: Why can't speaking autistics get it too??? Ugh! So unfair!!!

School staff (about a non-speaking autistic kid): "They don't understand *complex topic*! They're so 'low!'"

Also staff: "They’re not sick or hurt…just manipulate us."

Heeeyyyy!!! I finally figured out how to do commentary videos, so I did one! Jubilee recently put out an "autistic radar" video and I used it as a way to talk about neurodivergent culture and my own experiences and stuff.

Check it out! youtu.be/sadacv9goEU
