I’m actually sick of seeing the word asperger’s. everyone who is classified as having asperger’s syndrome is Just autistic you don’t need another word for it, especially since that word was coined by a fucking eugenicist to describe the autistics he thought were still, like, useful to society

[transcephalopod]

asperger’s syndrome is also no longer a medically recognized diagnosis it’s not even a factually correct term

i hope more people do this in the future ❤️

My favourite part of the article is that they formed this project years before they were able to make it a reality, and in the meantime “each friend has made sure [to] specialize in an area that would benefit all of them when they moved in together—from cooking and growing vegetables to traditional Chinese medicine and playing music.”

The tea is that nothing I have ever gone through has been in vain and everything I am heading towards is better than anything I left behind and I am still blessed to be in this moment

maybe that's the thing about getting older—you'll learn to close some doors, not because of pride, but because of protecting your own privacy & peace of mind. you'll realize that not every shape will fit, that some things cannot happen.

maybe growing also means accepting and choosing to look forward, even if you walk with your broken pieces in your hands.

I'm so fucking thankful we went from "stomp on me!!! Beat the shit outta me!!!" to "I am looking respectfully." That's fucking absolutely perfect just keep it right there

not to sound like an evil and monstrous brown woman but i will never have any empathy for white women and white lgbt people who join the ranks of fascists. i don’t give a single fuck if they face misogyny or homophobia in their political circles. that’s what you get for aligning with your whiteness to enhance your own position in society. and if this makes me sound like a terrible, loveless person, then so fucking be it. no one forced them into brutalizing or hating people of color and jewish people.

important image description psa

hi! my name is cassie, i’m deaf, and my full-time job primarily involves working in disability access. i’m here with an important message about image and audio descriptions:

when you’re describing things for disabled people, you should not include your personal opinion on the thing you’re describing. even if it’s positive! you shouldn’t describe things as “a beautiful painting”, “a gorgeous photo”, “a wonderful song”, etc. i mean, if you’re sighted, think about how annoying it would be if every. single. picture you saw online was captioned with “this is beautiful and you like this” or “this is ugly and you hate it”, with the expectation that you have to agree with whatever the caption says and your own opinion doesn’t matter. it would be super annoying, right!

not to mention, i’ve seen people do this on pictures of real people, which can get weird—especially if they’re in a marginalized group you’re not in, in which case it can start to feel very fetishizing. 

so, to recap:

good descriptions: “a realistically-rendered oil painting of a tree”, “a selfie of a person with short blue hair”, “a pencil sketch of taako”

bad descriptions: “a gorgeously realistic oil painting of a tree”, “a selfie of an adorable person with short blue hair”, “a fantastic pencil sketch of taako”

(i encourage reblogs on this, because this is a huge issue that i’d love to see people gain awareness of)

Howard Zinn (August 24, 1922 – January 27, 2010) was an American historian, professor, and social activist. Zinn grew up in Brooklyn in a working-class, immigrant household. His life’s work focused on a wide range of issues including race, class, war, and history, and touched the lives of countless people. He wrote the influential A People’s History of the United States, and his memoir You Can’t Be Neutral on a Moving Train. From 1956 to 1963, he taught at Spelman College where he became active in the Civil Rights Movement and was eventually fired because of his involvement in the black freedom movement. 

“Feminism/womanism never seemed odd to Howard Zinn, who encouraged his Spelman students, all of them women, to name and challenge oppression of any sort.

I was Howard’s student for only a semester, but in fact, I have learned from him all my life. His way with resistance—-steady, persistent, impersonal, often with humor—-is a teaching I cherish.” - Alice Walker

Before he died, Zinn stated that he would like to be remembered “for getting more people to realize that the power which rests so far in the hands of people with wealth and guns, that the power ultimately rests in people themselves and that they can use it. At certain points in history, they have used it. Black people in the South used it. People in the women’s movement used it. People in the anti-war movement used it. People in other countries who have overthrown tyrannies have used it.”
