I actually became sober from one of your interview about your most prized possession. And it was, I think, a very old interview, and it was a necklace that you had made for a person or your best-friend that was killed by a drunk driver. And it sort of snapped something. So— Sorry — So, I wanted to thank you for saving my life. I wanted to give you my sobriety chip. Are you sure? (x)
RIP to a true icon

Nothing about us without us. Image description: [pale purple and yellow background with dark text] This April, don’t support an organization that harms autistic people. [crossed out logo for Autism Speaks] Support one built by autistic people, for autistic people. [logos for the Autistic Self Advocacy Network and the Autism Women’s Network]
Reblogging to spread the word, cause evidence shows that Autism $peaks are classic horror movie villains.
Reblogging because I’ve always wondered who to support instead of AS.
To every friend of mine who reblogs this, thank you. It means I can trust you. <3
Because I worked with other autistic writers on a poem collection where all the proceeds goes to an autistic charity, I can also rec to support: Autism Angels UK
Annual reminder that Autism $peaks is a hate group.
Also, thank you for the good UK group to support. Any other self-advocacy groups from around the world?

Good evening, our alleged president is threatening to kill unarmed citizens
And so there's zero confusion on his threat:
Alabama Governor and white supremacist (”segregation, now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!”) George Wallace also used the phrase during his 1968 presidential campaign:
All of this, plus Jacob Frey is Jewish, so when Trump says “very weak radical left mayor” that is absolutely an antisemitc dog whistle to the alt-right. He’s basically reinforcing the white supremacist belief that Jews are evil puppet masters who control all other minorities (especially Black and Brown people) in a bid to take down the white race. This is literally word for word a thinly veiled regurgitation of key white supremacist tenets. He’s 100% signalling that he’s ready to start a race war.

I’ve discovered the ultimate life form
AWWWWWW
One of the greatest things I’ve ever seen in my life, a basketball legend getting to share his love of the game with his daughter. She was going to be a star. Rest In Peace.
Pretty sure that generation has been dead for awhile but ok, pretend one thing has something to do with another
The end of Jim Crow laws was in the 1950′s. The first black student to attend a formerly all white school was Ruby Bridges in 1960.
Here she is being walked to school under the protection of Federal Marshals because angry white people were ready to harm or kill her.
Here she is in 2010, eight years ago.
The generation that enforced segregation is not dead, fucko. They were our fuckin grandparents, and it was not that goddamn long ago.
Google is free.
Grandparents?!
I’m 31.
My MOM was born the year before school segregation ended.
She was NINE when MLK was shot.
She remembers race riots in her school over school segregation ending in our home state.
My MOTHER lived through this. She’s 61 years old–which means while her own health is shot, people from her generation will be around for another twenty to thirty years.
1956. This is not colorized. IT WAS SHOT IN COLOR. Look at that–segregation was still ongoing in the age of neon lights.
Same exhibit. 1956. Banana splits, poodle skirts, and the ability to get “colored” drinking water only from the white folks’ backwash. You can see the pipe connecting the white tank to the colored fountain behind the little girl in the light pink dress.
Less than ten years later. That’s Martin Luther King, Jr. in the middle. Have you ever seen him in a color photograph before? There are many, but for some reason … maybe because black-and-white makes things look old … nobody ever uses them.
Look at the bank logo in the back. Colored squares like that were a thing in the mid-to-late 1960s. The slicked-down hair on the Black girl in front says we’re not yet to the mid-1970s, and since these signs all say “Honor King” it’s quite likely this is 1969-1970. You know what else was happening in 1969? Not Woodstock, not the moon landing, although both of those things happened. No, something we think of as being much more recent.
THE INTERNET STARTED.
1969 was the launch of ARPANET, which would later become the Internet. BLACK PEOPLE WERE STILL MARCHING FOR BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS WHEN THE INTERNET WAS STARTED.
This picture was taken sometime between 1956 and 1958. I don’t have a precise date on it, but the sleeveless sundress says later 1950s, the hair on Orange Plai says this was after Elvis, and the stars on the flag say that’s not a modern 50-star flag, which was first used in 1959. (We had a single year, 1958, with 49 stars.)
Ah yes. It was so long ago. Let’s get some more perspective:
Donald Trump was eight years old when school segregation was declared illegal in 1954. He was nineteen when the police beat and shot at peaceful Black protest marchers in Selma, Alabama and twenty-two when MLK was assassinated by the FBI for trying to encourage desegregation.
Hillary Clinton was seven when school segregation was declared, eleven when it went into effect, and eighteen when Selma happened.
Bernie Sanders was thirteen when the integration ruling occurred, 19 when Ruby Bridges started going to a formerly all-white school, and twenty-four when Selma happened. Joe Biden is only a year younger than Bernie.
Elizabeth Warren was eleven when Ruby started her new school, fifteen when Selma happened, eighteen when MLK was shot.
You will notice that all of these people are running for President, or were rumored to be running for President, this year. They’re not just alive, they’re thriving. And they were all alive for desegregation–in fact Trump, Clinton, and Sanders were all old enough to either endorse or oppose what happened at Selma.
But let’s keep looking, because they’re probably outliers, right?
Hm. Three of MLK’s children are still alive. They’re between 56 and 62 years old. (His elder daughter died of unknown causes; her family suspects an undiagnosed heart condition.) In fact one of his siblings is still alive, and she was born before him! She’s 96.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg? Yeah, she was 21 when school integration was made the law of the land. And she’s still serving on the Supreme Court.
But tell me again how long ago it was.
I’m sure the people from those generations are all dead, after all.
Perhaps most relevantly, Strom Thurmond was a US Senator who filibustered for nearly 24 hours AGAINST the Civil Rights Act. He continued to serve in the Senate until his death in 2003. That means, for years, black Senators and Congresspeople were being asked to write policy alongside someone who had actively fought against their basic, civil rights, and had continued to serve in government without facing any consequences for those actions.

She is right and she should fucking say it
