Some of the principle actors of the stonewall rebellion

[ablednt]

Hey so I've seen it happening a lot and am by far not absolved from it myself but

White autistic and neurodivergent people we need to stop weaponizing our neurodivergency against people of color

Having hyperempathy does not absolve us from needing to actually listen to people of color when they talk about the oppression they face

Having low empathy does not mean we get to opt out of caring about and being compassionate for people of color.

Not understanding social cues does not mean we are exempt from unlearning any racist behaviors and micro-aggressions we perpetuate

Being autistic and/or neurodivergent does not mean we aren't capable of racism, that we were not raised to be racist by white society.

Many right leaning groups target privileged autistic people because we tend to be easier to manipulate due to our not picking up on red flags and our empathy levels being often an extreme.

Listen to people of color over your own comfort because being neurodivergent does not suddenly mean we don't experience white privilege or fragility.

so direct action is not an option available to you. what can you do right now instead?

Be mindful of the content you’re putting on your social media accounts. Stop retweeting/reposting violent images and videos of black people dying. Know that content like this, even with trigger warnings included, can be very emotionally disturbing/distressing and yes, even traumatic, for black people navigating the internet right now.

Report any images and videos you see where protestors’ faces are visible/unblurred, particularly in content surrounding the lootings. Don’t retweet or repost these images and videos. This can be a death sentence. 

DONATE, PARTICULARLY TO MINNESOTA-BASED BLACK YOUTH MOVEMENTS / MUTUAL AID FUNDS WHO ARE DOING WORK ON THE GROUND. FOLLOW/BOOST IF YOU CAN’T.

• The Minnesota Freedom Fund, a mutual aid group fighting back against the unjust MN bail system, is taking donations. (Twitter)

• The Black Visions Collective, a Minnesota-based freedom fighter organization creating campaigns for justice, is taking donations. (Twitter)

• Reclaim the Block, a coalition to demand that Minneapolis divest from policing, is taking donations. (Twitter)

• Crowdfunding for black trans people in need thread. 

• Comprehensive Minnesota bail fund/support document for May and June.

Drew my Senri! Been playing Fer.al lately, and noticed some pre-beta senri had carp-like features. BRING. THAT. BACK.

Their name is mirror. Not sure what they’re thinking about…ever.

The Dance of a Thousand Hands.

[vulvva-deactivated20200910]

I think this is a snipet of a performance called Thousand Hand Bodhisattva by the China Art Troupe of Disabled Persons. All of them are deaf. You can see the full performance here, it’s just under 6 minutes. Very talented!

[fairycosmos]

man i hate the egoism in my anxiety. do i really think my presence is so important that it’s the focal point of everyone’s judgment? do i really see myself as someone that should be capable of getting everything right, all the time? sometimes i just want to scream at my brain that it doesn’t matter. i’m moving through the world like everyone else. it doesn’t fucking matter

[jayrockin]

Just played my very first D&D session. It’s a homebrew setting and my character is a short and poofy chiroptaur ranger named Ru-barb. The race template is more of an anthro/furry-ish bat-taur, but unfortunately I am addicted to drawing small animal

[jakaltimes]

gotta find a way to put this in my setting!!!

Best trick I ever picked up. Seriously.

[catastrophe-jones]

I have also learned this is great for [PICK A COOL NAME FOR A SHIP] and [LOOK UP THE FACTS ABOUT OXYGEN LEVELS] and [WHAT’S THE WORD] and [DOUBLECHECK CHARACTER’S EYE COLOR] and ALL KINDS OF THINGS.

Anything that isn’t critical in the moment, and could be filled in later while I’m currently trying to burn through writing pages that will be lost if I don’t get them out right now? Brackets.

[betweentimeand42]

This is seriously the best advice, and it really helps put it into perspective that the first draft is just that- a draft. There’s no reason to agonize over a particularly tricky bit of writing when you could just leave it in brackets and skip to the good parts, the parts you’ve visualized. I also use brackets for [fact-check this], [use a stronger verb], [is this in character?] and other notes as I write, just so I don’t forget what I want to work on when I go back and edit. 

[lucyaudley]

This works for academic writing too. If you know where you’re going just leave yourself notes to fill in later. I do this all the time,

[elldotsee]

This trick legitimately changed how I write.
