“If you promise to stay alive just a little bit longer I promise that we are going to make this world a place worth living in by any means necessary. I ain’t giving up. I swear.”

I can’t stop thinking about this message, so I spent a while trying to isolate just the writing and make it transparent. I might order a shirt with it

Whoever in Clackamas wrote this message on their bus stop, I love you

RFK Jr. lays out new studies on autism, shuts down 'better diagnoses' as a cause

Kennedy has prioritized autism as one of the chronic illnesses he’s determined to tackle in his aim to “Make America Healthy Again."

During autism awareness month, it’s important to recognize this type of misinformation propaganda. Please reblog and share to spread the word. This is complete ableism.

[pyrebomb]

Autism Speaks also released a statement on Wednesday, calling Kennedy comments "extremely disappointing and damaging."

"Autism is not a preventable condition," the nonprofit autism organization said. "The suggestion that it is—especially when linked to environmental toxins without scientific evidence—contributes to decades-old misinformation and distracts from the real needs of autistic people and their families."

Damn you know it’s bad when Autism Speaks speaks out against it. Do you have the link?

This is a joint statement signed by numerous autism-related organizations, with endorsements added by numerous others from organizations dealing with Down Syndrome to Music Therapy.

Leading Autism Organizations Release Joint Statement on Upholding Scientific Integrity and Supporting the Autism Community - Autistic Self A

Thank you for sharing!

I fucking hate that the general response to RFK Jr's eugenist take on autistic people is "autistic people do pay taxes, autistic people do work, autistic people do date!"

Some autistic people don't and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life. Some autistic people do need constant help and support and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life.

Once again we're falling in the right wing trap of :

They make a hateful, fascist statement

Instead of focusing on the fact that it is hateful and fascist we try to show them that they are factually wrong

We throw our own allies and the most vulnerable of us under the bus in the process

We legitimise an only slightly less hateful, fascist view as we go

They have completed their goal of making us accept the still hateful, fascist second version, hurrah. What a victory.

Right now what we're getting to with that is that autistic people who can work and pay taxes are okay, and the others aren't. Fuck this shit.

Same thing happens with the people who are being deported ("they have a visa!", "they didn't even have a criminal record!" -> even if they didn't have a visa, even if they did have a criminal record, deporting them and detaining them in what's essentially a concentration camp wouldn't be okay, you absolute tools of fascism.)

[7frogsspeaks]

In case anyone needs more clarification:

What RFK is saying: "Autistic people can't work, so it's our duty as a society to erase autism" -> This is eugenics

Harmful response: "Many autistic people do work!" -> Validates the belief that that someone being unable to work is shameful and makes them a lesser person, and implies that autistic people should not need support

Correct response: "Yes, many autistic people can't work, so it's our duty as a society to make sure they are supported, you fascist asshole" -> Accepts the realities of disability and values the lives of disabled people, names the actual problem here

happy autism awareness day to all the girls who had “ friends” growing up who were actually bullying them . to the girls who always sat alone in the grass and wondered why nobody wanted to talk . to the girls who spoke to animals like they were listening . to the girls who created a little world in their room . to the girls who always felt ashamed for how deeply they love things and how passionately they enjoyed media . to the girls who covered their ears when they were overwhelmed by everything . to the girls who carrying a special thing around to feel safe . to the girls who never understood what they did wrong to feel so lonely . to the girls who were diagnosed later in life because they weren’t little boys who liked trains. you are so special and beautiful and you’re not worse for it, you love deeply and that is so wonderful please never try to push that down . I LOVE YOU !!!!!

I know a bunch of people are into this as a kink thing, but as a person who is really into survivalism, this is so cool.

She steals your hubcaps and catalytic converters, WYD?

it's TRUSS! massive thank you to @yudovi who i commissioned to draw a sketch page of. please look at my baby!!!! this lil spawn of Crosshairs has yet again invented herself into trouble.

she's just gorgeous!!!! thank you again Thorn for allowing me to commission you to draw her ;-; i love her lil mischievous face so much

[xenonmalachite]

"a little gremlin, Truss lives by the motto "if i cannot find trouble, i will invent it". an experiment who was found in a scrapyard, Truss picks up a lot of behaviour from her dad, Crosshairs. she's mischievous and full of life. she is never afraid to speak her mind. though, this meas she has no filter."

ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! new ref alert!!! here's Truss!!!

i'm so happy with how she turned out. she was so much fun to draw. i have given her freckles and a gap in her teeth now to make her just a bit more mischief

sweet lil kiddo. i also made her more like her parents.

Now, Personality and story time

Truss... is a very mischievous youngling. she's not old enough to transform yet but still finds a way to get into trouble. she isn’t a prankster, but her love of engineering at a young age has earned her the reputation of having a nose for trouble. She was an illegal experiment run by Caminus. They had taken Crosshairs’ CNA from a battlefield, and Loco Motion’s via a fake genetic survey. She was raised to be a city speaker from the time she was a newspark. Her city speaker abilities were as expected but she frequently had her personality get the better of her duties. Having had enough, she divised a way to escape, landing her on earth. It was there she met her biological father, Crosshairs, who found her in the scrapyard, though not before she shot at him with a homemade gun. That’s how Crosshairs got his scar. Through a joke CNA test after he’d took her under his and his wife’s wing, they found out their relation. As Truss began to know her now biological family, she began to feel more and more confident. She can be found tinkering in the workshop with her dad or in her room playing with her model trains. Now with a loving and encouraging family, she’s found herself to learn to grow. But that doesn’t exempt her from her mischief and she still doesn’t always listen.

had a little fun and played with some fashion deisgn for 2 certain bois. Crosshairs and Blackout are my favorites of each faction in the bayverse. it was especially fun designing them for each occasion.

from left to right, first is their casual, then you got their human jobs (BLackout is a specilised Helicopter Pilot, Crosshairs is a weapons designer/Engineer), going out to places like a party, pub, or club, and then formal attire.

i had to take in account their culutral backgrounds and what the climate would be like and what they're use to.

My human Blackout Comes from Sparti/Sparta. so he would be use to a hotter environment. in his work uniform, he's all zipped up as he's not use to the cold of the altitude he flies to and because he usually is in hotter places. so he has less layers. also, greeks tend to dress smart casual so even in the clubbing attire he tries to aim for that ball park. he's not exactly dressed for the club or pub but still is out of that smart casual. My Crosshairs on the other hand strikes me as a punk who moved from a small town in Wales to Cardiff for work. so he's layered up as he would be more use to the cold. but his work would have him near machinery that runs hot so he's not very layered in his uniform. with the clubbing attire, he strikes me as someone who dresses in the UK punk style and embraces the culture and where it stands. he's got the flags of him, his wife (Loco Motion), and his two cousins (Fuselage and Roadbuster) as well as the autism red infinty symbol, enamle of the welsh red dragon, and the bisexuality pin. i dressed him like a guy you'd find in UK punk clubs just laughing at the bar and yapping. formal attire was a bit tricky for him because... well it's Crosshairs. but i still found a way to make it him

anyway. please enjoy

decided to give my girls an extra outfit. something more tactical. inspired by other's designs for humanformers. made them all each unique and equally stylish. .3. that's all i can really say

[xenonmalachite]

I currently play in another Transformers TTRPG campaign. i play as sweet lil' JD. so i made some splash artwork of her (for boxart, cards, etc.) to show her to the other players. in the game, she has a water canon that can switch to paint so i drew that in.

she's been so fun to play so far and i hope to share moments she has with ya'll

Bonus Emote based on a moment in the game where her position in the tree line was never given away because she had the absolute silencer on her weapon so the seekers we were fighting could not find her when the rest of the party was revealed. so even when she missed, she was bamboozling these poor seekers
