Throughout #autgust I will be posting portraits of other Autistic People of Color to celebrate the diversity of autistics and challenge the way society has engrained in us to see autism.
"You don't look autistic."
Yes I do.
Here's Part 1... Everyone in this^ post is a nonbinary autistic person of color. These are volunteers.
Enjoy!

i’ve probably done this in the past but i’ve really come to dislike people spamming ‘go to therapy’ as some means of derisive snark toward folks they dislike. at best it makes therapy seem like some kind of Magic-Good-Person-Making-Machine and at worst it makes it seem like this almost kind of punitive thing

So, this hasn't crossed my dash yet. (Not blaming anyone, there is soooo much going on in the world and I'd also missed it in the noise).
There is currently a strike at Frito-Lay. in Topeka. These workers are striking because:
They were being forced to work 84 hour weeks. The company's best offer so far is a 60 hour cap. This is shit we fought for a century ago, people.
Their generous offer also includes a whole 4 percent wage increase...over the next 2 years. I'm not sure what COL is in Topeka, but... Well, it's better than the entire 77 cents they've apparently gotten in the last decade.
There's also a report that a worker literally collapsed and dropped dead on the line and the foreman's response was to make them move the body out of the way and put in a replacement. (However, this is unconfirmed and, of course, the company denies it).
There have been multiple OSHA violations at this plant over the last few years, including a forklift accident that's under investigation.
They've now been striking since July 5 but, of course, it only hit the national media yesterday.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/07/14/frito-lay-strike-forced-overtime/
So, why am I signal boosting this?
Because Frito-Lay is refusing to budge. They are attempting to make the excuse that union leadership agreed to the 60 hour work week and crappy pay cut...when union leadership only agreed to put it to a vote.
And this means that we need to put the thumbscrews on them. Remember, this is about 19th century style working conditions.
So, I'm calling on my followers to boycott Frito Lay's until the strike is involved.
Frito-Lay owns:
Lay's
Doritos (Sorry. I really am. I KNOW there's no good alternative to Doritos, although Zapp's are good if you can find them).
Fritos
Tostitos
Cheetos
Ruffles
Sun Chips
Baken-ets
Chester's
Cracker Jack
Islen plantain chips
Funyuns
Grandma's (the cookies)
Matador Meat Snacks
Maui style potato chips
Miss Vickie's
Munchies
Munchos
Rolled Gold
Sabritones
Santitas
Simply
Smartfood
Stacys
The Walking Taco
NatuChips
PopCorners (this one wasn't on their website, but was bought by Pepsi's in 2019 with the intent of adding it. So best avoided just in case).
Yes, this really is more than half of the snack aisle. Suggested alternatives:
Kettle Brand Chips
Zapp's (If you can find them. My supermarket had them once and not since, so I'm guessing the culinary cowards in this neighborhood were afraid of "Voodoo" flavored chips).
Pringles
On the Border for salsa.
Wise Cheez Doodles
Bugles
Utz
Store own brand alternatives, if your store has ones that are any good.
Cheez-its
Check before you buy and let's tell these people they don't get to treat workers like that.

This is a message for 2SLGBTQIA+ folks who feel bad for fitting into stereotypes about their community.
It is not your job to fix how your community is seen by people not in it. It's okay if you're a hyperfeminine trans girl, or a butch lesbian, or a nonbinary person who loves frogs, or a soft trans guy. I fall into stereotypes too, a flannel-loving butch lesbian who has their hair cut really short. I fall under the nonbinary spectrum (Demigirl) and use nounself and neopronouns, I like bugs and frogs. But that doesn't mean I'm hurting my community by being myself. I support my fellow queer folks and understand that not everyone falls into stereotypes but it's ok if I do. I know I'm young but I feel it's something people need to hear. As long as you aren't hurting anyone, be as stereotypical as you want. Anyway, you are valid and loved and I hope this reaches people who need to hear it.
