you can’t support autistic people and support the police. No amount of paint jobs or sensitivity training can stop police from killing with impunity

And fuck the jigsaw puzzle imagery advanced by the eugenicists at Autism Speaks. We’re not a “puzzle” to be “solved“

Half of all people killed by cops have a disability, because cops aren’t trained to recognize or deal with people with disabilities and very few places have people who are trained for those situations easily accessible during emergencies. So the cops come in and do what they’re paid to do - murder anyone who’s inconvenient to the state

No matter how progressive or well-read you are, there are always going to be moments in your life where somebody pushes back against something that's so culturally ingrained you never even considered it before. And you'll say "Huh, it never occurred to me to challenge this but you're right" and that doesn't mean you were "morally toxic" before, it means you're a non-omniscient human capable of growth.

and sometimes the answer isn't always "huh you're right" sometimes it's "huh i didn't realize this is a facet of culture and that its different between groups of people, and those different ways of doing and seeing things are actually legitimate and ok"

Also sometimes your first response won’t be “huh you’re right” it’ll be “no that can’t be” and you won’t want to change and won’t like that something or someone pushed back on something you think is obvious until later when you learn more or think about it in a different headspace and realize you were wrong. That’s not ideal but it’s part of growth and human nature. It’s ok if you took time to get there—you learned and grew and didn’t stay stagnant, and you can learn from the experience so that you can continue to learn and grow better in the future. Dwelling on the same will keep you stuck in the past, when you could use it to make the future better instead.

In future situations, "I need some time to think about that" or when relevant "can you explain that a bit more?" are both better answers than “no that can’t be”.

And you are still allowed to eventually come to the conclusion that actually, this thing isn't true. But take the time to think it through first.

NEVER KILL YOURSELF

the funniest thing to me about the Afroman lawsuit situation is the fact that the cops involved clearly just thought that they could discreetly get a payday off of a video that left the news like four full years ago. instead they're getting made fun of again, by even more people this time, including people who never would have heard of Afroman in the first place were it not for the lawsuit. now Afroman gets even more good press and he also won the suit so the cops get jack shittttt

If you've ever wondered why people in Hawai'i hate tourists, try to wrap your mind around the fact that there are CURRENTLY, RIGHT NOW, tourists sipping martinis and looking at fish within swimming range of the fresh corpses of local people who couldn't escape the overnight destruction of their entire town.

Try to comprehend that there are fully functional, high capacity boats passing through the waters in front of an area full of survivors who are stranded and in need of supplies, refusing to help. They are hosting snorkeling tours.

Really think about, try your best to actually picture over two thousand people unhoused and in need of shelter, with nothing but the clothes on their backs and nothing to return to. Understand that the island, stolen land, is littered with hotels full of air conditioned of rooms with beds and showers and toilets, each fully equipped to host hundreds of families for weeks, turning these people away because they're booked up with tourists who refuse to leave.

And understand that these tourists were offered free transport to return home or be hosted on other islands. Free. Courtesy of local tax dollars. 4,000 wealthy tourists were offered free flights shelter on Oahu and begged to leave the island, BEFORE the survivors were given shelter.

And enough still insisted on remaining and carrying out their vacations that people are left without shelter and resources while they enjoy "their stay in paradise".

[Edit]: This current situation, and this type of tourist behavior is horrifying beyond words. In other circumstances, the tourism situation is much more complicated, and I need to ask that people do not add on to this post unless they are local.

i hate when girls feel dumb for trying to see the best in people and then end up hurt or disappointed like no!! it’s those people that were dumb for misleading you. they took advantage of your kindness and generosity, and they’ll rot for it
