Well fucks? Get to it!
I fucking hate that the general response to RFK Jr's eugenist take on autistic people is "autistic people do pay taxes, autistic people do work, autistic people do date!"
Some autistic people don't and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life. Some autistic people do need constant help and support and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life.
Once again we're falling in the right wing trap of :
They make a hateful, fascist statement
Instead of focusing on the fact that it is hateful and fascist we try to show them that they are factually wrong
We throw our own allies and the most vulnerable of us under the bus in the process
We legitimise an only slightly less hateful, fascist view as we go
They have completed their goal of making us accept the still hateful, fascist second version, hurrah. What a victory.
Right now what we're getting to with that is that autistic people who can work and pay taxes are okay, and the others aren't. Fuck this shit.
Same thing happens with the people who are being deported ("they have a visa!", "they didn't even have a criminal record!" -> even if they didn't have a visa, even if they did have a criminal record, deporting them and detaining them in what's essentially a concentration camp wouldn't be okay, you absolute tools of fascism.)
ngl I thought the puzzle piece as an autistic symbol meant like. I am a vital puzzle piece to your society. humans would never have invented half the things they did without us. you're telling me it means I'm missing something?? buddy. listen. listen to me reeeeaal closely. no human has all the pieces to humanity. no one. no one has all the features enables no one has all the strengths weaknesses or quirks. no one has a whole puzzle. we make the freaking complete picture together. that's the freaking point.
You can only reblog this today.
@staff @humans @support @photomatt @cyle @zingring
why have i not heard anything back in over 2 months about a report i filed regarding a harrassment and stalking campaign against me for the entirety of the last year?
why, the first time i tried to submit a report about this, did i just get an email back saying "oh sorry, wrong email, go here instead :)" within a day? how come thats faster, but not this?
how come, in the time its taken to reply to me about the stalking and harrassment, have you deleted my main account @predstrogen even when you have stated before that it is not breaking terms of service after it was flagged due to the same reports that got me banned?
how come this has happened before in summer, when your websites system was flagging anything involving trans women as explicit, including my own selfies and transition timeline? especially when several known staff users have commented about this exact situation, i recall people even mentioning me specifically! [1 - 2 - 3]
and on top of all that, ive been seeing a massive uptick in right wing users openly harrassing me, even going as far as to admit theyre reporting me and making up lies about me as a trans woman. so many people have told me theyre recieving anonymous asks slandering me. is your site going to do anything about that? [1 2 3]
or is your site going to ban me again on here, and delete every single thing ive uploaded saying it "breaks TOS". even my transition timeline, my fucking face and identity. like you did already
am i ever going to see anything get better? all three of my past accounts, @madhopz, @sadhopz, and now @predstrogen have been deactivated after a year. its a pattern, and you havent listened to any requests for help against this harrassment
if youre seeing, please reblog this. this blog might not be around too long either, i want it known that this happened again so i dont get ignored again. i have a paper trail, evidence and defence for everything
anyway i was afraid to touch this discourse with a ten foot pole but i had to get some stuff off my chest as a queer man myself looking at all this discourse abt jayvik because it’s hit me more deeply than others for some reason.
i have no problem with people who see them as platonic, i think the relationship is beautiful either way, but personally as a queer man like i said before the thing that hurts me the most abt the discourse is people’s assumption that if it IS romantic that this takes away from the arc. if like people say there’s a lacking male friendship in media where men are tender and loving towards one another, why is it that every time people turn towards a fictional gay couple and point fingers that the gayness itself is devaluing the relationship? why do people see male queerness as devaluing deep male friendship? why are we the enemy of better male friendship representation in media? as if gay men in love can’t be friends. as if they can’t have both at the same time. idk it’s just a show and just fandom discourse but that doesn’t mean it can’t hurt when i see people talking about how it’s better that they’re not gay at all.
Everyone please behold this baby tree:
It's so much smaller than the support posts, they had to secure it with caution tape.
