if you wiped every ICE agent off the face of the earth, a hundred million people would become safer overnight. if you wiped every furry off the face of the earth, the entire internet would collapse for good in a matter of hours. i know where my allegiances lie.

Museums not giving stolen artifacts and bodies back is bonkers. Like what if someone from China went into Arlington cemetery and dug up JFK’s dead body and took him and his eternal flame back to China and refused to give him back like that would be pretty messed up and kind of weird right like put John back that’s not where he goes but that’s basically what the British museum does every day

IMO, one of the most annoying consequences of people treating autism like it's just quirky special interests and nothing else is that people will say "autism isn't an excuse for [known symptom or common trait of autism, including actual diagnostic criteria]" with no irony.

I've seen "autism isn't an excuse to be a picky eater," "autism isn't an excuse to struggle with tone/misread sarcasm in a post," "autism isn't an excuse to be bad at social cues" (with the comment of "literally just go out and learn by talking to people, it's not that hard," as if autistic people don't already do that), "autism isn't an excuse to not make eye contact, that's so rude," "autism isn't an excuse to wear headphones in class or work, nobody else gets to do that," and "autism isn't an excuse to be unemployed/live with your parents/not leave the house enough" (wondering if this person has any idea HSN autistic people exist?). Some people here are like half a drink away from saying having flat affect is "literally weaponized incompetence!!!" or something. I'm starting to wonder what you people think autism even is. Because if you've found a way for autistic people to turn off the most basic symptoms (like sensory sensitivity or difficulty with social settings), that's news and you need to share your incredible findings with the world immediately.

(Disclaimer in case one is necessary: I am not talking about assholes trying to use autism as an excuse for bigotry, like white tumblr users being racist about rap or musk's nazi salute. I am talking about things that autism symptoms actually cause, including things that are completely harmless to others but are treated as problems simply because allistic people find them weird or annoying.)

nobody dishes out gender euphoria inducing compliments with more prowess than confused elderly ladies who have no filter. I was at the op shop and two old ladies were talking about me right in front of me like "I can't for the life of me figure out if you're a man or a woman. it's like the seventies when everyone had long hair... well your hair is so wavy but your face is quite manly, so I wasn't sure..." I love you so much. I hope you both live to 100

what if you were trying out cuck stuff for the first time but the cuck chair was like obscenely comfortable like the most comfortable chair you’ve ever sat in and your partner was getting fucked and you just kept asking the bull hey man where’d you get this chair. how much did this cost you.

kids deserve so much more respect and it turns out that saying that is a great way to locate the horrible people in any community <3

Speaking of men not being a dick to women, my grandma on my dad’s side always wanted to be an architect but they wouldn’t let her into any architecture programs specifically because she was a woman. She got rejected several times because of this.

My grandpa eventually opened his own construction company partially to let her design all of the buildings and live out her dream a little bit. To this day there’s still houses and stores in my dad’s hometown that my grandma designed.

You know for the first 18-ish years of your life everyone your age is mostly doing the same things and then all of a sudden every year for the rest of your life somebody your age is getting divorced while somebody else just learned what a leaf is and you have no idea what’s going on or what you’re supposed to be doing

How do they choose which sand to be the glass and which sand to be the sand in an hourglass... Imagine you and your best friend were two grains of sand and you had to be in the hourglass and your bestie had to be the glass. Ur together but youve never been more apart. A Sick and twisted practice hourglassery is...

People need to understand this about autism:

Its morally neutral.

It's not a good or bad thing. It just exists. You have it, it's whatever. You might like some of it, you might hate some of it, you might like all of it or none of it. But it doesn't make you a good or bad person.

Understanding this helps avoid aspie supremacy as well as demonization of autism, I think. If I'm wrong, please politely correct me.
