my favorite celebrity non-controversy was when lorde wanted to express her love of baths so she posted a picture of her bathtub captioned “and iiiiiiiiiii will always love youuuuu” not realizing that whitney houston died in a bathtub

Coming to terms with the fact that society hates autistic people

I just saw some comments that were like "If you're autistic, neurotypical people hate you" and "growing up as autistic in our neurotypical society is almost always inherently traumatizing." And you know what? I absolutely agree. It really resonates with me to hear fellow autistic and generally neurodivergent people talk about the hate, rejection, misunderstanding, and even dehumanization we receive from most neurotypicals.

My entire childhood was spent being the "weird girl" until I got good enough at masking to fit in better. Even now, as an adult, I get negative comments from my own (neurotypical) parents when I display certain neurodivergent behaviors. My family is always like "that's so Katy" and shake their heads when I act "too" autistic and it feels so fucking patronizing. I've had negative experiences and even disciplinary action at jobs I've had for exhibiting neurodivergent behavior (usually related to my ADHD, but sometimes autism too). My entire fucking life I've been told by society to not act too much like myself or else I'll put everyone off.

And then you see people being sympathetic to the parents of autistic children who abuse or even kill them. "It's sad, but it's understandable" neurotypical people say. Videos of autistic children having meltdowns are full of people saying that they should be locked up because they're no better than animals. We're seen as a burden, a drain on society, who are only tolerated if we learn to act "normal" and don't make the neurotypicals uncomfortable. Autistic people are front and center in "cringe" compilations and are ruthlessly bullied.

If I'm being honest, I'm still unlearning a lot of ableist thoughts that were instilled in me growing up. I sometimes catch myself thinking that other autistic people are annoying, and I have to stop myself and think "Do you really find them annoying, or were you programmed to be dismissive of people who don't act neurotypically enough?"

Anyway, idk where I'm going with this text wall. The older I get, the more I become aware of how much I've been harmed by an extremely ableist society, and it breaks my heart that more neurodivergent kids are being taught to suppress their true selves the way I was.

One thing I've learned about Tumblr economics is that tumblrinas are too wary to reblog low note posts

When your kid comes out as a dude

do something with your life instead of h8ing on queers on the internet

Damn, I guess I'll just stop fighting against these hateful groups now.

First of all, I am currently pursuing an education and working damn hard for it, so I would say I am doing something with my life, and even if I wasn't, that isn't any of your business, nor does it make me any less of a valid human being. Second of all, I am not hating on "queers." I am hating on radqueers, who support many other harmful things outside of queerness. Don't try to call them queers to make me seem homophobic when you are intentionally leaving out a massive part of what they are when you take away the "rad" from the "queer." I dislike Radqueers despite their queerness, not because of it.

enough about taylor swift already. reblog and tag the smallest, least known artist you listen to

Sometimes being Jewish it's tempting to ask "why do they hate us so easily" but this is a mistake, there is no why, you only needed the opportunity to give yourselves and each other permission to hate us openly.

The endless success of documentaries on Nazi Wunderwaffe...

The endless success of alternate history "what if the Nazis won WW2"

It all lived in you already, we lived our lives with people using dead Jews as the punchline of their jokes, discovering we are Jewish and feeling instantly compelled to tell a holocaust joke.

You only needed permission to hate Jews, and the sugar that helps you swallow the poison that "hating 40% of the world's Jews is justified because Israel is the bad country and only evil Jews would live in the bad country"... "Hating and targeting this company above all others is ok, because they are owned by an Israeli" ignoring that you are in all practical terms targeting Jewish businesses, in no realistic terms are you different from the person who puts a brick through the window of a Jewish bakery.

You are lobbying your universities to cut ties with Hillel because they are based in Israel... Except it's based in the USA and operates in Israel because it's an organisation that supports students on campus with ritual observance.

You only needed permission to openly hate Jews

Living in the islamic regime is like waking up every morning to the news of one more innocent person getting the death penalty because they just wanted to live and be free.

I can't believe you're a guy...your arts are way too cute and adorable to be from a male. I thought you'd promote violence or objectification of women or something male like that. Are you gay? You must be. Straight guys don't have this much taste

so did they have to teach you how to act like a freak in some sort of special academy or are you just like this naturally
