No one interact with me, don't talk to me, don't even perceive me motherfucker. I simply do not vibe with ✨ existence ✨ now git

[dykeselfcest]

the real “problem with political correctness” is not that it’s considered offensive to use slurs, but that there are now many “progressive” environments where saying the right things is more important than doing the right thing. it’s why it’s so easy for abusers to gain traction in leftist circles (they learn the right words quickly and employ them to frame their own behavior as progressive); it’s why so much potential activist energy gets poured into fighting about language; it’s why moderate liberals didn’t believe fer/guson had a problem until the police emails with actual racist language were leaked. (you can do racist things, you just can’t SAY racist things.) i don’t have a neat conclusion here but a related point is that i’m so much happier since i started focusing on like, being a good kind caring person instead of trying to remove the word “crazy” from the vocabulary of everyone in my family

[1dietcokeinacan]

Just saying this is truly one of the best “discourse” posts on this site like……this hits the nail directly on the head re: what is going on with language right now and everyone pushing back in the notes only serves to further prove the point it’s making

this man just CHECKED™ his privilege im living

[fierceawakening]

this is what i mean when i say “actually tolerance isn’t all that bad” this guy says several times that he doesn’t understand and even is uncomfortable, but that that isn’t what matters. imo, that’s how tolerance works.

[jumpingjacktrash]

true tolerance is, “i don’t have to understand, because you don’t need my permission to live. my job as a member of your community is to have your back, whether i understand your situation or not.”

[postcardsfromspace]

I’m going to keep reblogging this forever, because it is such an excellent, clear example of how to approach this stuff from outside.

I'm going to end up being Mcgucket when I'm older and honestly I ain't even mad

[radical-possumtulate]

My brain when just chilling on the couch:

Hey you need to clean your room. Did you do your laundry? No you didn't. You still haven't done your assignments? You fuck. Get up bitch! Why are you still sitting there? You already drank all your coffee now you're just stalling! Hey remember that dumb thing you did? Here let me replay it for you. Yeah no one forgot you did that you dumbass.

Me, when I'm about to work on a personal creative project:

i think what’s on a person’s nightstand is very telling so reblog this and put in the tags the things you have on your nightstand

[dashaibo]

Cigarettes, one empty hard lemonade bottle, a giant cup of tea, a PC mouse, tons of cat meds, an empty scented candle, a dead hard drive, dead batteries and a corkscrew.

[sighinastorm]

Dice in a Crown Royal bag, an aluminum comb, a soup can bent into a specific shape to act as a bracket, a simple bent-steel-strip clamp with a thumbscrew, a large safety pin (actually a batting pin), two quarters & nine pennies, a sandwich bag filled with screw-on bottle caps, a four-ounce measuring glass also graduated for mililiters, tablespoons, & teaspoons, two packets of yeast, a library receit, a hex bolt, and four rectangular erasers.

On the shelf of the nightstand is a bottle of diphenhydramine tablets, a book printed in probably the 1950s, a two-pint mug, an empty tuna can, a Sharpie two-pack with one still left, and a spool of galvanized steel wire.

[ceddar-cheez]

Half drunk bottle of water, tissue box, used tissues I need to throw away, and a teardrop shaped salt rock lamp. My nightstand is very small

[sighinastorm]

Have you licked it?

[weeaboo-god]

Soda. Water. Some snacks. And my 3ds

[ritaryuu]

9 identical tape measurers and a music box

[inattention-intervention]

a cheesy romance novel. an alexa with a screen (it’s like a clock). an empty bowl and a coaster. my kindle. two hair ties and a hair clip that changes color in the sunlight. a sweet pea scented candle. my flowery lamp. lastly, a cloth to wipe off my ipad and a half finished to-do list.

[radical-possumtulate]

haha I don't have a nightstand

[mha-icons-bnha]

This is what’s called Alienation of Labour.

[wakanda-4evr-deactivated2020010]

that’s fucked up man…

[001001001001001001]

From “First Taste of Chocolate in Ivory Coast”

[thanatos-girl]

this is a fantastic example of Marx’s concept of alienation of labour, where the worker is made to produce a cog in a machine they will never see or afford and so they fully lack the ability to point at their product and say “I made that.” It’s incredibly demoralizing to never be able to see the result of your labour

true story! a few years ago i was working at both ol*ve g*rden and tj m*xx, and both of the following happened within the same several weeks:

at ol*ve g*rden, they'd put up a christmas tree in the lobby and had the employees each decorate a snowflake ornament to hang on it. i asked the general manager (mostly as a joke tbh) if i could bring in a menorah to display for chanukkah

and the gm is like, "well we're not allowed to display any religious imagery in the restaurant. it's a rule from corporate."

to which i said, "you are standing in front of a christmas tree as we speak."

and i shit you not, she goes "oh, but that's not really religious! that's just festive, you know, for the holidays." and would not hear another word about it

then a few weeks later at tj, probably once we were firmly into december but idr for sure, they start breaking out the "holiday" aprons for the employees to wear (all red, of course), and santa hats, and these fucking elf ear and reindeer antler headbands.

and one of my managers sees that i'm not wearing anything except the apron, and she asks me to put one on. and i was like "i'm not really comfortable with wearing any of those, since i don't celebrate christmas." (also i just really didn't want to wear one bc they looked stupid and they made my ears and head hurt, but still)

and she ALSO says, "oh, it's not christmas, it's just festive for winter. also corporate wants every sales associate to wear one"

which actually just made me more uncomfortable bc now she's trying to MAKE me wear one anyway

i was like "yeah, no that's definitely all christmas stuff and i'm really not comfortable with that"

so she let it go with a lot of huffing and eye-rolling, and then goes on the walkie to tell the entire staff "oh by the way guys, i forgot to tell you, but corporate FINALLY said we're allowed to say merry christmas to the customers this year!" and everyone up at the registers w me was like NICE! YES!

and i was just

so like, that's what we mean when we say that xtianity is so pervasive in our culture that a lot of people genuinely believe xmas things are secular, even though they AREN'T

[the-antichrists-plus-one]

Me, watching a show: *narrows eyes*

Me: I know that voice. I KNOW it. Who else is that voice

Me: *pauses and rewinds show a bit, seeing if I can figure it out* I KNOW I know that voice!!!

*looks it up* *the voice actor also voices someone from something obscure I watched years ago*

Me, screeching: I KNEW IT!! I KNEW I RECOGNIZED THEM!!!!

[passionfruitandvelvet]

After I came out as bi a few years ago, a fellow Chinese American asked me, “so does this mean you want to be like white people?”

As QTBIPOC, a form of LGBTQA-phobia we often face is from our own ethnic groups, who believe that queer = foreign.

Yet when we delve into our histories, we see that nothing could be further than the truth. In many of our cultures, before Western influence, our queerness was ANCIENT. ✨

Autism Self-Diagnosis Masterpost

Questioning if you might be autistic? Have you always known you were different and are trying to figure out why? Is professional diagnosis not an option for you (cost/stigma/bias/etc)? Then here is a list of resources to help you figure out if you are autistic.

This post is broken up into categories of resources based on subject matter. Some links may contain ableism and medicalized language but if they do they also have useful information which is why they were posted. 

Self-diagnosis is a long process of reading and researching and self-reflection. A decision should not be made overnight. However, it is completely valid to self-diagnose as autistic (see the second to last section for more on this). If you are self-diagnosing, read as much as you can written by autistic people. Read their blogs and their tumblrs. Read about the autistic experience. Talk to autistic people if you are able to. 

If you have questions, feel free to submit them to @autism-asks, a blog dedicated to answering questions about autism.
