Just found out one of my posts lost all its alt text. It's only a year old. Please include both alt text and in-body image description for your images. Alt text is still not reliable on tumblr.
(I personally don't repeat my alt text in the body, usually I have an expanded description. Some people copy their description from alt text into the body text. If you do this, consider adding the line "copied from alt text," if it's the same so those who have already gotten that alt text can choose to skip the repeated info)
[ID: A cropped screenshot of a Youtube about page of Banana & Bread. The description: “our fav banana bread recipe || 3 ripe bananas || 2 cups flour || 1 cup sugar || 1 egg || 3 tbs butter (melted) || 1 tsp baking soda || 1 tsp baking powder || ½ tsp salt || (350*F for an hour in 4x8″ loaf pan)” /End ID]
Wake up babe mcyt are providing baking recipes
not new news at all but fascism is really swallowing the world whole rn
brendan depa, a diagnosed level 3 autistic black teenager (also with PTSD+ADHD and a number of other diagnoses, including ones that are highly racialized) who has been subject to racist peer abuse/assault, has previously been placed in multiple institutions, grew up homeschooled due to his support needs but was basically forced into public school so that his day program would be covered by APD, and was triggered by an incident in class that involved factors going against his IEP and resulted in him assaulting a teaching aide.
he is being charged with a first degree felony, being tried as an adults, and faces up to 30 years in prison.
media is sensationalizing this as a student beating his teacher because he got his nintendo switch taken away, framing him as a spoiled brat instead of a very traumatized, autistic teenager (who only very recently turned 18) with high support needs whose disabilities significantly impact his emotional regulation and understanding of consequences.
other peers who have similar impairments and who have also assaulted staff were not punished anywhere nearly this severely.
prison could kill him, a punishment for being failed repeatedly by the medical/legal system and placed in an environment that didn't properly meet his support needs, and people are frothing at the mouth to put him there.
"good work banning tiktok team! Now the youth will no longer be exposed to anti American propaganda!"
"did they all move to Facebook or Twitter?"
"no sir, they all moved to a Chinese owned site populated almost entirely by Chinese people"
lets really leave the "but I can't work I'm just a girlllll" type of feminism out of 2024
"But if we resort to violence we're just as bad as them!"
One man did with 3 bullets what decades of peaceful protesting failed to do. It sent a message. For the first time in decades, the ruling class was afraid.
And now, barely 3 months later, things are back as they were. Not because Luigi's act of violence wasn't effective, but because it was forgotten as a one-off thing and treated as a trend. People Idolized him for his actions but not for the reason they were done.
One man's act of violence was enough to shake the foundations on which this country is built, the rot that had eaten away the hearts and minds of the people had been pushed back, and for the first time, there was clarity in the minds of everyone. There was no Left or Right, there was simply the Working VS the Ruling.
One man was enough to cause the closest this country has ever come to class consciousness, to solving real problems. Imagine ten, a hundred, a thousand more just like him.
