Hey, quick tip for messaging your neurodivergent and/or chronically ill pals:
If they do not respond to you right away or in a little while, please do not keep spamming them with messages until they respond. They could be dealing with a flare up or might be focused on something else atm. Texting and messaging people can also take a lot of energy, especially when we’re in pain, and if you keep adding message after message you’re making it more difficult for us to actually get back to you because you keep giving us more that we have to respond to.
I know it can feel this way, but when we temporarily “ignore” you (and I use that word very loosely) this does not mean we suddenly don’t love or care about you. We’re just fatigued, in pain, experiencing a mental block, etc. and we need extra time. Just give us a little breathing room, we’re already suffocating.
Neurotypical and able-bodied people are highly encouraged to reblog this, just don’t clown.
idk how to explain this to you but when a unilaterally oppressed group names their oppressors and says stuff like "do better" they are talking about you, to you, and you are absolutely accountable. you are not one of the good white people, one of the good tme people, one of the good nonblack people: these people are talking to and about you and you are not exempt from the connotations of the post because, believe it or not, you are fully capable of being racist/transmisogynistic/antiblack/whatever. take responsibility for your actions and understand that we never stop growing. ever.
aspec culture is CONSTANTLY confusing different types of attraction for each other
The idea that *any* sexuality doesn’t include trans people is inherently transphobic. Straight? You can be into trans folk. Gay? You can be into trans folk. Bi? Pan? Both include trans people, because we aren’t some other entity that needs a special category for you to be into us. We are our genders.
Discomfort is necessary for growth. Lean into it. Sit in it. You’re better for it.

[ID: The business handshake meme. A person on the left, labelled “amatonormativity unfairly devalues many different kinds of love”, shakes hands with a person on the right, labelled “it’s okay for aros to not feel connected to any kind of love”. Their hands are labelled “ideas that can coexist and support each other”. End ID]
