Gang, I know it's so easy to dunk on RFK Jr's latest claims about autism by pointing to all the autistic people who are capable of the things he said we will never do, but I think the more important thing is to state unequivocally that autistic people who have 24/7 support needs in adulthood and genuinely never do those things have value and deserve to exist. Yes, autism is a spectrum that RFK Jr is oversimplifying to suit his narrative, but his narrative is that our autistic friends who struggle with those things shouldn't be like that, and that is the idea we need to push back on, more than whether you personally can write a poem or use a toilet unassisted
so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what

“horror movies of the 1980s exist at the glorious watershed when special visual effects finally catch up with the gory imaginings of horror fans and movie makers. technical advances in special effects (animatronics, liquid and foam latex) meant the human frame could be distorted to grotesque new dimensions on screen. 1980s horror movies delivered the full colour close-up, look-no-strings-attached, special effect in a way that previous practitioners of the art could only dream about. everything lurking in the shadows in older horror movies was now dragged into the garish light of day. the monsters were finally out of the closet.”
Hey, so, I don't know how many of you follow Canadian news, but yesterday, someone drove a car into the crowd at a Filipino cultural festival in Vancouver. I'm sorry that I can't put that more sensitively, but I really don't know how else to describe it. I'm not Filipino, but it happened in the neighborhood I grew up in. I'm not sure how to describe how I feel. I'd walked past the event an hour before with some friends. We'd joked about how the first nice weekend in Vancouver is a special occasion because everyone comes out. There's a vigil on that corner tonight.
The point of this isn't to talk about how I feel. A friend has shared some gofundmes with me and I wanted to post them here. And ask that maybe if you're local and you're able to, could you donate blood? I don't know. I don't have anything I can say. It's not my tragedy but I feel it anyway. If you can donate, I know it would be appreciated by the families.

This is literally so iconic
I hate that as Indigenous people, we have to slowly explain the concept of LandBack to basically every colonizer.
Like no we're not going to just throw you out, or put you in camps, or any of that shit. We just want to be able to take care of our ancestral land and be the ones in charge of protecting it.
Like I know these people were raised with a colonial mindset but after a while I just start to lose sympathy.
Like oh you're worried about having your home violently ripped out from under you?? What a fucking tragedy.
you don't owe anything to anyone but also you owe everything to everyone. maybe you were too harsh to that guy but maybe he crossed the line first and it would have been ridiculous to expect you to put in the effort that he clearly didn't care to match. maybe you overextended yourself for your friend and she wasn't reciprocating enough but maybe you were just being generous to someone in a tough spot and it was the right thing. all of your accomplishments are your own but you could never have done them without the aid of everyone else around you. no man is an island but the rest of the archipelago still doesn't get to tell you that you have to dress a certain way because otherwise it icks them out. idk man. this stuff is nuanced and has to be understood on a case-by-case person-by-person basis and you can't really make grand sweeping statements about it in the space of a social media post. figure it out for yourself.
