@pscentral event 26: minimalism THE MAMMA MIA CINEMATIC UNIVERSE + letterboxd reviews
if your response to "diagnosed autistics in the US are having HIPPA violated to have their names put on a list by the government" is "so happy i was never diagnosed!"... then you are actually not helping in the slightest.
most of us with diagnoses were diagnosed as children, we didn't get a choice. and now we are getting put on a list, with those who are high support needs facing the most danger from said lists.
rubbing it in our faces that you won't be on said list is hurtful. its not funny. its not cute.
"Oh you had a plague? Come back to us when you had a World War, brand new unconventional weapons, and a new international order."

I hate how, when legislation and technology become threats to the disabled community, especially the physically and severely disabled, abled people freak out about spillover happening to them.
And it's extra shitty that its usually other minorities who, as usual, don't so much as mention us
Elon's stupid brain chips were announced and the Internet went nuts with 'he's trying to cure autism and other neurodivergencies!'
Meanwhile, Musk's human guinea pigs were phtsically disabled people, paralysed people.
Trump was elected and I didn't hear a word about the fact that he legitimately thinks we should die.
And now the UK has green-lit euthanasia because a fragment of mostly abled people campaigned for it and I just saw a fucking post about 'oh no, they're going to start killing trans, Black and poor people now'
As though our government isn't actively targeting disabled people between this and their decimation of our benefits.
If you're on disability benefits, you can't have more than £6000 savings. Over that triggers them to look at your bank account and then start deducting a percentage of your benefits every £250
It's a good thing medical equipment is so cheap.
The only place I hear anything about disabled people is in disabled spaces, and for other minority communities who talk a big game about intersectionality, that's pretty fucking shit.
when you’re autistic the question one always has to ponder is: do I actually hate [new/different thing] or am I having one of my regularly scheduled Fuck I Hate Change freakouts
This is Nakey, the sweetest lil corn snake!
This piece was incredibly challenging, but super rewarding as well! The scales shine differently as you move the hoop and they catch the light, creating shifting depth. I’ll upload another post with a vid showing that off cause it’s one of my favorite things about this, and the reason I chose to embroider each individual scale.
Image ID: A hand embroidered corn snake sits on an off-white muslin fabric inside an embroidery hoop. The snake has a pattern of red, orange and brown patches, bordered in dark brown. He is arranged in loops, one loop shows off his underbelly which is cream spotted with dark patches. He also has his tongue sticking out.
