I've noticed that some well-known communist tumblr accounts (both Latin American and yankis) often take info (compilations of info and academic quotes and reflexions and ideas), sometimes even word by word posted by my couple here, give them no credit, and don't even reblog it; yet the followers of said accounts praise them, saying, “Wow, what smart accounts! so leftists”.

I'm sick of tumblr, I'm sick of liberals everywhere. I'm going to delete this blog and just keep my other account (@umbra-life) as a photo archive and for donations. I'll leave a note on the other tumblr and that's it. Tired of left-wing Tumblr celebrities telling me to fuck off for asking for a reblog of a donation to save my partner, and that literally the kindest people have been five people—one of them a 15-year-old girl who asked if she could pin my post. The most human, empathic, and meaninful intectation in a decade here, in this trash can. Should I be surprised by a site that’s basically 4chan or Reddit 2? Not really.

After all, is easy to speak of anything and daring to speak of liberation, revolution, and human rights than doing an actual thing to stop someone from dying. The empire is well and alive.

Sometimes it feels like people don't really understand what social communication impairements can actually look like in autism. Sometimes it feels like people reduce it to "socially awkward" or "doesn't understand sarcasm" but they mean it in a more 'simple' and 'quirky' way.

And quite often I see "we're not the problem, it's NTs who can't communicate properly". And while communication can be a struggle for many regardless of NT or ND, this saying reduces the actual issues a lot of autistics face.

[aw-tysm]

Social communication issues can look like

assuming someone is your friend even when they've given no intentions of that or shown any interest in you.

infodumping on strangers despite clear disinterest being shown or verbally being told to stop.

compliments or comments that come across as inappropriate or offensive despite that not being the intention. eg. "i like how clean your forks are", or "you match your walking cane well".

disregarding instructions, rules or requests because you don't understand them.

touching a person without consent. eg. holding someones arm and stroking it while conversing, or hugging someone because you feel like it, or grabbing a person and moving them in a way you want. (yes, this one includes strangers)

not understanding or picking up on inappropriate behaviors or "bad" intentions and/or participating in activities that are harmful for yourself on the request of another.

asking invasive and/or personal questions of another (including strangers) which for most people would be considered harrassment.

difficulty forming thoughts or sentences in a structure that makes sense to yourself and/or others.

These are only a few difficulties that fall under social communication deficits/impairments. But these are often seen as a "problem" and not "quirky". These are the kinds of behaviors that others don't want to deal with.

common myths about migraines (AKA if you get headaches regularly, please seek treatment for migraines)

"i don't have migraines because while i get them several times a week, it's only when i am hungry or dehydrated."

those are probably migraines. thirst, hunger, sleep disturbances, or any disruption to routine are common migraine triggers.

"my headaches are specifically barometric related, i get them when the weather/altitude changes."

those are probably migraines. barometric pressure is a common migraine trigger.

"i get headaches all the time but ibuprofen gets rid of them so they can't be migraines."

that's not true. ibuprofen works great at relieving migraine pain for many people.

"my consistent headaches are tension headaches. i feel them originate in my neck/shoulders."

those are probably migraines. muscle tension is a common migraine trigger.

if you are regularly getting headaches (once a week or more), you are likely getting migraines. in fact, a good rule of thumb if you're consistently getting headaches is to treat them as migraines until you can rule out migraines. that's how common "chronic headache = migraine" actually is.

migraines are a neurological disorder wherein pain is one symptom. pain is often the MAIN symptom, and the most noticeable symptom, which can make diagnosis tricky. other symptoms of migraine include:

fatigue

nausea/vomiting

digestive issues

visual disturbances (auras)

sensitivity to light and/or sound

mood changes

brain fog/cognitive changes

ringing in the ears

dizziness/vertigo

numbness/weakness on one side of the body

this list is NOT complete, but is a starting point. i really like the comparison to a hangover. if you generally feel hungover when you get a headache (without having consumed alcohol), that's a classic migraine presentation.

so many people suffer from migraine and don't even know it, so they aren't able to advocate for themselves to get treatment. there are great new migraine treatments on the market! if you're able, please seek treatment for your migraines. a better quality of life is possible.

[keplercryptids]

here's some more myths! brought to you by the most frequent comments i get on my migraine posts.

"but migraines are extremely painful/debilitating and i can push through my pain."

migraines certainly can be debilitatingly painful. the pain can also be mild/easily treatable. it depends on the person and it depends on the day. regardless, your ability to live with chronic pain does not mean your pain isn't a problem!

"my headaches always have a direct cause/trigger so they can't be treated/they're my fault."

wrong! migraine is a sensory disorder in many respects. most/all migraines are triggered by something. avoiding triggers is good but isn't the whole story, and migraines with triggers can be treated effectively!

"i feel pain in (x) area of my head so it's not a migraine."

migraines can hurt in a specific area of the head/one half of a person's head. but this is not universally true for every person. please forget every silly infographic you've ever seen about areas of the head equaling different kinds of headaches. that's just literally false.

”would the founding fathers be proud of modern day america?” the united states of america is perhaps the most succesful settler colonial project in history, and its imperialist control and global hegemony — whether it be in military bases, puppet governments, predatory loans, direct invasions, cultural hegemony and facetious ideas of ’democracy’ and ’freedom’ — has far surpassed its greatest adversery of the british empire at its peak. your founding fathers were slavers, colonizers, and murderers who advocated for the extermination and expulsion of the native populations. though they might’ve found certain aspects of modern america unpleasant, such as women’s rights to vote, legal divorce, homosexual marriage and the ostensive abolition of slavery (ostensive, as the prison industrial complex has at times been an effective reinstitutionalization), I ultimately believe that this global capitalist, racist, fascistic, and murderous empire, is one which would delight their rotten hearts.

It's bewildering to remember that NATO's 2011 bombing and naval blockade of Libya was justified on the basis that Gaddafi had verbally threatened to commit war crimes (the infamous 'cockroaches' speech). Now, a NATO ally boastfully perpetrates a genocide for all the world to see. And all efforts at armed intervention to stop it, from Lebanon and Yemen, have been met with destruction and war crimes in turn. Such are the privileges of being a settler outpost of American power.

everytime we point out an american politician, particularly a democrat, is displaying an imperialist agenda it's like a race for the neolibs to go "oh you're expecting them to be perfect???? you're upset that they can't live up to your purity politics?????? you can't support someone that isn't entirely in line with your specific worldview?????" like no but it's worth acknowledging how there is not a single american politician with any genuine stance against us imperialism because as the global empire the us is entirely built upon the countries it exploits, and would fall apart if its control weakened and disappeared. also they say this shit when we're rightfully angry with a democrat for, yknow, committing genocide. these dogs are responsible for violence inflicted upon millions of people and you're accusing us of purity politics. have you considered the us is inherently evil

"if we can't remove people from a space based on sex or gender, how do we make sure people in the group stay safe from assholes?" if you can have an enforceable "no men" rule in a queer space you could probably have an enforceable "no assholes" rule instead. it's pretty easy actually. it's actually easier to tell if someone is an asshole based on their actions than their gender, in my experience.
