i keep getting recommended posts and videos abt this game called No I'm Not A Human and from what I can tell the gameplay loop entirely consists of heavily scrutinizing strangers' appearances and making sure they're "really human" except all the stuff that seems to make them Not Human is stuff like... weird smiles, missing teeth, standing unevenly, having slightly too long of legs, i don't even know... it feels so disgusting to me. All of the "not human" traits I saw were just things real life disabled people have. I dont need more people asking me if I'm an alien or zombie in disguise because my spine doesn't connect to my hips correctly so I walk at a bad angle. I don't need more people saying I look like something out of the uncanny valley just because my facial muscles physically cannot smile "normally". It's disgusting. Especially because the main "monster" i keep seeing in art just straight up has the same body type as me and multiple other people I know.

this is ableism.

Hi, so I just wanted to say that it's actually kind of the opposite in the game. The way you figure out who is a human on who is not is by looking at things that look oddly perfect, like people with completely perfect teeth, etc.

[genderkoolaid]

people will literally be like "why do multigender people need to call themselves mlm/wlw when nblm/nblw are right there 🙄 stop invading our community" literally it's so insanely exorsexist to literally say that only monogender people are allowed to be mlm/wlw, because what? multigender people aren't "really" our genders? we aren't capable of being "real" men and "real" women? because monogender people are so pure and untainted, unlike us, who can't make up our minds? explode.

TERFS DID THIS TO ME ON TUMBLR. I got an anon telling me I passed terribly. like. I'm literally cis and by telling me I do not pass, you are showing that you view womanhood in ways that are not only regressive for trans folk but also regressive and harmful for the very cis women you claim to support and prioritize. They uphold the very beauty and gender performative standards they seek to diminish. Fuck terfs.

[spiribia]

the concept of never including women in anything or never liking women in order to avoid misogyny is really funny and by funny i mean a different word

Funny growing up in the late 2000s and seeing constant "don't text and drive" warnings, PSAs telling us to put our phones down behind the wheel, wait until you're home to send that text, a phone-distracted driver is a deadly driver etc etc

Only for modern car manufacturers to be like "we made the car a phone :) now you have to text and drive to change the radio station :)"

idk what neurodivergent young adult needs to hear this but you are NOT supposed to give 100% at your job. I've gotten more promotions and raises since I started giving 40-60%, which my evil CEO uncle informed me is what bosses actually expect when they say 110%. My mental health has improved tremendously. I've spent 2 out of 5 workdays secretly writing my novel for the last 2 years and I've never been more respected and appreciated. Also--when you see glaring wasteful errors in the company's operating systems, say absolutely nothing! Embrace inefficiency. It is your friend in this capitalist hellscape.

The US is crazy bc like so many people have intense conspiracy theories about the government like "I think there's a secret elite group of people who control everything" and you can tell them "actually you're not completely wrong, it's just not a secret group of people, it's a bunch of rich people and lobbyists who are doing it all out in the open" and they'll be like "hmmn I don't think it's THOSE people though. I prefer my racist & antisemitic theories"

[tittyinfinity]

They'll be like "I heard there's a powerful ring of pedophiles who are influencing the country" and you'll tell them "I mean yeah that's what the Epstein files are about" and they'll say "no I'm pretty sure this has to do with The Queers actually"

[neovid]

Conspiracy theory no one will ever accept: What if the people secretly controlling the world are the same people obviously controlling the world?

[daughter-of-sapph0]

[anarchistmemedistro]

fortune magazine literally keeps a running tally

[friendsimulator]

The reason is because the appeal of conspiracy theories is that the believer holds the key to saving the world: that if they convince people of the truth then everyone's eyes will be opened and the problem will go away. By telling them that the evil is all out in the open youre crushing their fun on two levels, by giving evidence that they are wrong and evidence that making the evil public knowledge in no way stops it.

As an autistic/adhd person going through the job search process I’ve learned to phrase my autistic/adhd traits as corporate friendly things. Here’s some examples:

I have trouble reading between the lines and picking up on implicit information? Actually, I’ve learned the importance of giving and receiving precise, specific instructions in order to avoid time consuming miscommunications.

I’m easily bored with only one task? Actually, I have a curious mind and thrive in places with a wide range of tasks as I prefer dynamic environments where I can contribute to many projects.

I have trouble with white lies that are merely social niceties? Actually, I prioritize a transparent work environment where we can tackle issues head-on.

This way I don’t have to lie, but rather just spin my truth in a way that’s palatable to them.

[gonzos-humansona]

my hips don't lie but they will exaggerate details, misrepresent the facts, and on occasion deceive via omission of crucial information

I need to set the record straight for queer people who don’t have a transphobic government holding their birth certificate hostage.

In the United States the average native-born citizen can prove their definitive citizenship in terms of eligibility for work through either a birth certificate or a passport. Birth certificates are legally owned and issued by the government of the state you are born in.

I was born in Texas. Texas has banned trans people from changing our birth certificates to match our name and gender. Texas will put me on a list if I reveal I am trans in any legal way, including having ever applied to change my gender marker. I cannot change my birth certificate.

This means the only way I can prove my eligibility for work is with my passport. Without my passport, I can’t legally apply for work.

That is why the executive order banning trans people from changing our passports to match our gender identity is such a huge problem. It’s not boo hoo I can’t leave the country to go on vacation, it’s stripping me of my labor rights and daring me to work in a sweat shop if I want to survive.

And say I did want to cross the border because oh, I don’t know, fleeing to seek asylum in a new country suddenly becomes very important—wouldn’t it be a good idea to have a passport that matches my identification to show local authorities, so they don’t deport me back to America?

I know not everyone can read legalese, but I need the LGBT community to at least try to stay up to date and connect the dots on the legal ramifications of orders like this if we are going to fight back. Because frankly, my passport was recently threatened, and I was not impressed by the ignorance I was met with from cis gays and trans folks who hail from the east/west coast.

Reblogging this because safety matters.

i think being proud of where you come from is one of those things that becomes fun the more specific you get. like "proud to be english" bad rancid vibes. makes you sound like the kind of person who rants about immigrants. "proud to be from yorkshire" better vibes. i cannot deny the yorkshire cultural heritage. "proud to be from pocklington" absolutely fucking hilarious please never let anybody kill your pocklington pride.

[redstonedust]

i love the USA: weird vibes. dont trust that.

i love muskegon michigan: you are experiencing a kind of personal joy that i can and will not take from you
