i'm just so exhausted by the alienating and infantilizing of autistic people. it's to the point that when ppl find out i'm autistic i DREAD them telling me they have an autistic relative because they almost always immediately overshare about that relative's personal life to me for no reason whatsoever.

i'll say i'm autistic and someone i barely know will be like "omg! my cousin is autistic! he's nothing like you though. he doesn't talk and he has meltdowns all the time. if he gets really overwhelmed sometimes he bangs his head on walls."

like ok 1. consider i'm not always verbal and i also have meltdowns but that's neither here nor there.

imagine if i told you i have a cousin [allistic] and you said "omg! i have a cousin too! [allistic]" I bet you would either end there or tell me something fun about her like a hobby she has or where she goes to school. I bet you wouldn't tell me how she acts when she's completely overwhelmed and having a terrible day. I bet you wouldn't tell me, within 5 minutes of meeting me, that when your allistic cousin failed a big exam she cried until she threw up and got a migraine.

because that would be weird for me and invasive for your cousin. so you wouldn't say that, if she's not autistic. you respect her privacy, because she's not autistic.

i swear a lot of y'all talk about your autistic siblings/kids/nieces/etc. like they're family pets

funniest fucking thing

It’s crazy that people are more upset at DEI than the actual reality I have as an autistic person where every single job I have applied to has illegally asked me if I had it. My options are either to never tell them I have it so I can get hired, and then never get accommodated, or I do tell them, and then I never get hired. Most of the people complaining about DEI will never actually have that issue

Hey Instagram

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS???

Btw, this is how conservatives keep getting to claim that trans people are a new thing no one has ever heard, because our history and existences have continually been erased or obscured systematically through out history.

The most famous example was 92 years when the Nazis raided the library of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, the medical practice where the term transsexual was first coined and the first gender affirming surgery was performed in in 1931.

What did the Nazis do after raiding the library on May 6th, 1933? You may be familiar with these images

It is happening again.

Okay so we have this huge problem with forgetting about everything that’s happened by the time the next election rolls around so I’d like to keep a running list of things as they’re happening to help remind us when the 2026 midterms roll around. And please add to this if I’ve missed anything.

January 2025:

Donald Trump pardoned 1500 people who participated in the insurrection of January 6th, including those who violently assaulted and nearly killed police officers.

Donald Trump has declared that trans and non-binary people don’t exist.

Donald Trump is working towards firing everyone in the government who isn’t loyal to him.

Donald Trump has effectively fired everyone who he claims is an “illegal DEI hire” …whatever that means

Donald Trump pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement and the World Health Organization

Congress are trying to pass the Laken Riley Act to, effectively, round up every immigrant in the country, including LEGAL immigrants

Donald Trump removed caps on prescription drug prices.

Donald Trump wants to withhold federal aid to help combat the LA wildfires and help the thousands of people who have been displaced and lost their homes.

Donald Trump has cut off aid to Ukraine.

Laken Riley Act has been passed by Congress and is awaiting being signed into law by the President. Here’s the breakdown of the votes: House Senate

Donald Trump purged a dozen inspectors general from the federal government and intends to replace them all with people loyal to him.

Pete Hegseth has been confirmed as Secretary of Defense. Here’s the breakdown of how the Senate voted. Note, it was a 50-50 tie that JD Vance had to break.

Donald Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Colombia after the Colombian government turned away two airplanes carrying migrants. Columbia has retaliated by imposing a 25% tariff of its own on US goods.

Donald Trump has also issued a travel ban for Colombian citizens and revoked visas from Colombian migrants coming to the US.

Donald Trump has now backed off the tariffs and other threats against Colombia. Note for future reference: this comes just hours after Trump made the threat in the first place and he and the Colombian president got into a big fight on social media.

Nearly 1,000 migrants were arrested mostly in Chicago on January 26th by ICE and ICE has been told to meet a quota of 75 migrant arrests every day.

Donald Trump rescinded an anti-discrimination executive order from Lyndon B. Johnson

Donald Trump signed an executive order banning trans people from serving in the military and also ordered that people who were discharged for refusing to get mandatory vaccines be reinstated.

Donald Trump has frozen all federal grants to institutions.

After pressure from state governments, activist groups, and the general public, the White House has rolled back some of the freezes on federal funding.

This.

Donald Trump is trying to fire all federal employees who don’t want to return to the office (work-from-home saves the federal government millions of taxpayer dollars in overhead). He also sent an email to federal employees saying that if they’re not loyal to him, they’ll be investigated.

Donald Trump has said he doesn’t think Palestinians should be allowed to return to Gaza but instead should be sent to Egypt and Jordan.

I’ll keep adding to this list as new things come up and, again, please feel free to add anything I’ve missed. I know that in this world of constant news it’s easy to forget, so let’s give our future selves a little help!

As a kid learning about the holocaust, I never understood how people could let Nazis rise to power. But now I’m watching it happen in real time.

Me when I don’t understand historically that poc and women got more passed over before dei because of racists and misogynistic beliefs. That it is still an occurrence but less so due to the punishments that was put in place and lessening that chance to happen. This being removed just makes it worse for people. Y’all love to cry that it’s anti white with no basis because this shit was made for equality and equity in the first place. Did y’all know white women are the one who most benefits from this anyways? Like the ability to get pregnant fucked you over because you have to leave at some point to take care of a baby if you do get pregnant. It says a lot especially when companies are getting rid of policies about discrimination protections cough Amazon of minorities because of this. Y’all just simply don’t like seeing minorities in power because this is all you cry about when seeing them thinking there is no way they also don’t have the qualifications either.

Oh project 2025 isn’t going to happen you’re being paranoid-

What the absolute fuck is this then? This country is so fucked.

[muffinghostie]

There are surprisingly a decent number of maga dick riders on this hell site.

[muffinghostie]

Now more than ever we need to make Tumblr unmarketable, do NOT invite the government into this space.

[muffinghostie]

There’s a reason these people are fucking stupid and proud of it.
