Question for my fellow aspies

Is it necessarily wrong to be inspired by someone who is autistic? I would like to hear some of the community’s opinion.

hmm don’t know how to address this but i looked it up and apparently Richard Phillips, the 72-year-old black man recently released from prison after serving 45 years for murder he didn’t commit, is being forced to sell his art, rather than willingly selling it, since the justice system is refusing to pay him anything. there’s a post going around saying he’s showcasing his art and we should support him by purchasing it, but i think it’s an important distinction that he doesn’t want to part from the art that he made in prison. parting permanently from art you’ve made can be difficult, and considering the emotional value of the art he made in order to cope with his situation, it’s cruel to take it away from him rather than to just donate money. also there’s like this weird fetishization of his “prison art” in the media that is frankly disgusting, like ogling his pain and suffering and making it into some sort of spectacle. i scoured twitter for a donation page but i couldn’t find anything yet

a good app for "scanning" pictures would be CamScanner. we mostly use them in architecture when scanners aren't readily available. you can send the picture via email or any other social media application as well

if we’re talking about straight hair as a beauty standard and you think you have a counterpoint about big hair being popular in the 80s, you’ve completely missed the point and don’t understand the way beauty standards originate and operate. 

straight hair–even teased, even crimped–is a white supremacist ideal that never ceases to exert a controlling force in the mainstream. a white women who has temporarily made her straight hair bigger is not comparable to a woman of color or a jewish woman who has kinky hair–no matter what the aesthetic of moment, those latter groups are not meeting its standard. they can’t; these standards exist as white supremacist tools of domination.

thick eyebrows, tanner skin, certain body shapes, hair volume… these things cycle in fashion for white women. they are never a condoning of non-white or othered bodies, and they change nothing for the people who experience the material consequences of white supremacy. 

a white girl can tease her hair to high heaven and be a fashion icon at her school, while a black girl w the neatest braids is sent home. do you think women w 4c hair were more likely to get jobs in the 80s bc white women were crimping their hair? pls pull your head out of cosmo and learn about the way the world you live in actually works

I grew up on the Tobey Maguire Spiderman movies, so this past year in cinema has been a real treat.

despite what you’d think they both operate on just about equal levels of comical absurdity
