Hi if you are or went by the name Ford about ten or eleven years ago and remember someone named Micki and were involved in shipping discourse (or know anyone that fits this description) pls send me a message bc I miss talking to my old friend
hate when you reblog a random cropped aesthetic post and some fool comes in your inbox like āthis is from an incest hentai ye wee cunting man and if it isnt deleted by 2 pm yer callout will be strewn about the daily postā like aye how was i supposed tae know, and a better question why do you know this sire
I wish I could scroll through thr asexual tag (y'know, the tag made by and for aces) without seeing a shit-ton of posts that just say "lol aces are shit and are all gonna die alone"
The trick is to always go to the top results instead of the recents
trumpcare/the american health care act has been revived and changed and people may vote on it very soon. it has been made even worse. the new bill dismantles protections for people with preexisting conditions, and it still includes massive cuts to medicaid. if it passes, it will result in millions of people losing coverage.
we fought this before, and we can do it again. call your senators and representatives and tell them not to let this go through.
you can figure out who to call here: whoismyrepresentative.com

hi, my name is (your name) and i am a constituent of (senator/congressman/congresswoman so and so). iām calling to urge (senator/congressman/congresswoman so and so) to vote no on trumpcare. the aca is the law of the land. i will not tolerate any more time wasted on trumpcare, which would take away care from 24 million people and cut medicaid by $880 billion dollars in order to give tax cuts to the wealthy, insurance companies, and other big corporations.
you can also tell a personal story about why the aca is important to you and/or tell them you will vote or campaign against them if they do not vote against trumpcare.
if you canāt call, give me your name and zipcode and i can call for you.
Just a month after declaring that the Affordable Care Act will remain āthe law of the land,ā Congress is taking another swing at destroying Medicaid and taking away your health care. Their new version of the repeal bill is worse than ever, and theyāre rushing it through the House of Representatives to give you less time to make your voice heard. The House could vote on the bill as early as Wednesday. Your Representative needs to hear from you today and tomorrow. Call and tell them to vote NO on ACA repeal.
A lot of things in the new repeal bill are the same as before. It will still cut Medicaid funding by $880 billion, devastating programs that disabled Americans depend on to live, work, and participate in our communities. It will still make insurance harder to buy, and allow insurance companies to charge you more money for worse health coverage. 24 million Americans will still lose their health insurance by 2026. But hereās whatās new:
Insurance companies will be able to deny you coverage because of your disability.
States will be allowed to strip protections for people with pre-existing conditions ā like autism. This would force us into āhigh-risk insurance poolsā which charge more and donāt give us the health care we need.
Insurers will be allowed to stop providing essential health benefits like emergency services, medications, and hospital visits. If you need mental health care or occupational therapy, your insurance will be able to stop paying for those things.
This is a direct attack on the disability community and our equal right to health care ā and you have the power to fight back. You can find your Representativeās contact information by entering your ZIP code at contactingcongress.org. If you find it easier to leave an answering machine message than to talk to a staffer on the phone, you can call after work hours, and your message will still be counted. If you donāt speak, you can call using your AAC device, or get a friend to call in and read your message. No matter how you do it, your call is critical right now. Hereās a script you can use:
Script for calling your Representative: My name is [your full name]. Iām a constituent of Representative [Name], and I live in [your town]. Iām calling to ask the Representative to vote NO on repealing the Affordable Care Act. This bill would take lifesaving health coverage away from your constituents, and it would destroy funding for Medicaid services that people depend on to live in the community. Eliminating the essential health benefits and allowing insurance companies to discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions will be have a huge negative impact on the lives of people with disabilities like [me/ my family member/ my friends]. Weāre counting on you to do the right thing. Please vote NO on the repeal.
This is a dangerous bill, and every time Congress updates it they make it more devastating for our community. Weāve stopped it before, and we can stop it again ā but only if we fight just as hard as we did before. This is the time for us to make a difference. Make sure your Representative gets the message ā Nothing About Us, Without Us!

Anywho itās April now so friendly reminder to actually LISTEN to autistic people this month. If weāre telling you not to support a certain organization because of what theyāve said about us, LISTEN. Donāt light it up blue. Donāt use the puzzlepiece. Donāt call this month āAutism Awarenessā month, weāre all well aware that autism exists. Donāt do anything that would be in support of Autism Speaks. Donāt support an organization whose entire goal is centered around hating autistic people for being autistic.
since itās april, please donāt support autism speaks, an organization that dehumanizes and speaks over autistic people. consider supporting asan or the autistic womenās network instead, which are autistic-run and fight anti-autistic ableism instead of promoting it.
