ASAN has cut ties with Sesame Street

Autistic Self Advocacy Network has cut ties with Sesame Street due to Julia being used to advocate for Autism $peaks Screening Program.

Link to the article from ASAN

Holy crap... A FREAKING SCREENING PROGRAM. We are not a fucking disease. We are not a puzzle piece or a burden.

There is a petition for Sesame Street to cut ties with Autism $peaks, which I suggest people sign, or contact Sesame Street directly if possible.

Please boost this, ND or NT. This is undoing all the good that Julia represented for autism.

exams would never be scheduled on christmas. no important sporting event would ever be played on easter. it’s about time that jewish holy days are given the same respect.

[tikkunolamorgtfo]

Exactly.

I should add that this isn’t limited to us Jews, either. In the past two years or so, both the Olympics and and the World Cup coincided with Ramadan, and a lot of Muslim athletes were left in the really shitty position of having to choose between either not fasting or putting their athletic performance at risk. If Christians had a fasting month, you bet your ass no sporting events would take place until it was over.

I am here for the Religious Solidarity movements.

a great resource to avoid doing this is this interfaith calendar!: http://www.interfaith-calendar.org/

note: this lists minor holidays also, but the most important ones for each religion are in larger bold letters.

I don’t know if that’s meant in a metaphorical way as in, “their insults have no bite” or a literal sense as in “someone was talking shit so he got his fucking teeth knocked out” but I like it either way

This continuing water crisis is tragic (for the people of Flint), criminal (for the state & county government officials who failed to put people first) and immoral (because of the long-term damage done to people’s lives).

when b99 does The Thing

[cultural-antifascism-deactivate]

Why should LGBT groups care about guardianship?

Because under Washington State law,

1) An anti-LGBT parent can petition for guardianship of their Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and/or Transgender adult child under in order to force them by penalty of law back home, into an institutions, or group home etc. (RCW 11.88, full chapter on Guardianship—Appointment, Qualification, Removal of Guardians)

2) An anti-LGBT parent of an LGBT adult child with a partner can accuse that partner of “leading them astray” or “taking advantage of a vulnerable adult” and not only force their adult child back home but also make it illegal under penalty of law for their partner to ever see them again. (RCW 11.88.045 subsection 5)

Legal heterosexism is absolutely still real and still needs to be fought. A trend among parents of transgender youth with disabilities is seeking guardianship to forcefully stop their transition by saying they’re “incapable of making decisions.” (Personal conversation with ASAN staff member, 2016).

Gay liberation means disability justice now.

Rape is the only crime on the books for which arguing that the temptation to commit it was too clear and obvious to resist is treated as a defence. For every other crime, we call that a confession.

I’ve gotten more angry asks about this post than I have actual reblogs.

Feinstein: You’re a big, powerful man. Why didn’t you [gestures pushing motion]?

Crews: Senator, as a black man in America [sigh]…

Feinstein: Say it as it is. I think it’s important.

Crews: …you only have a few shots at success. You only have a few chances to make yourself a viable member of the community. I’m from Flint, Michigan. I have seen many many young black men who were provoked into violence, and they were imprisoned, or they were killed, and they’re not here. My wife for years prepared me. She said, “If you ever get goaded, if you ever get prodded, if you ever have anyone try to push you into any kind of situation, don’t do it. Don’t be violent.” And she trained me. I’ll be honest with you it was the strength of my wife who trained me and told me, “If this situation happens, let’s leave.” And the training worked because I did not go into my first reaction, I grabbed her hand, we left, but the next day I went right to the agency. I have texts, I have phone conversations, and I said, “This is unacceptable!” And I told them how -you know- I almost got violent, but I didn’t. And I said, “What are you going to do about this predator that you have roaming your hallways?” And -you know- I was told, “We are going to do everything in our power. We are going to handle this Terry. You’re right. It is unacceptable.” And then they disappeared. Nothing happened.

[weepingbouquettyphoon]

Look at the faces of the black men behind him it says it all.

[dicapito]

This is real fucking infuriating. This shit isn’t funny. Fuck them and anyone who makes fun of Terry Crews speaking out and taking a stand.

[grannythots-deactivated20190917]

for those who don’t know the context, this is Terry Crews testifying about being sexually assaulted by Adam Venit during a Senate hearing about a proposed bill called the Sexual Assault Survivors Bill of Rights. While I don’t like that Senator Feinstein said what she said, I think it opened the door for a great statement from Terry about WHY he didn’t fight back - since so many people respond to male victims with “oh well you’re bigger than your rapist, why didn’t you push him or her off of you? why didn’t you punch him or her? did you want it or something?” And they don’t listen. Maybe finally people will listen. 

This shows that anyone can be a victim of sexual assault, even a tall, strong, hulking guy like Terry Crews. And I hope him coming forward with his accusations convinces other victims to realize that it being a victim isn’t something to be ashamed of and to take down their attackers, and push the justice system to FINALLY take male rape and assault seriously. 

[odinoco-deactivated20190531]

I think she asked him the question precisely for that

[grannythots-deactivated20190917]

I just looked at her Twitter and she stated (well, implied haha) that yes you’re right, that was indeed why she phrased her question the way she did.  

[archergwen]

Given how she followed her question with, “say it as it is. I think it’s important,” it sounds to me like she was trying to open a door for Crews to say what he did.
