please be kinder to the people around you who have neurotypes that "scare" you. i really don't think it's cool to see people claim to hate ableism, and then treat psychotic people, bipolar people, people with OCD, people with personality disorders, people with DID, traumatized people and so on like garbage. i don't really care if seeing someone who is actually, for real in the throes of a mental health crisis is frightening to you, it's far, far more frightening for them. compassion is key here. learning to get over our fears isn't just for people with anxiety, psychosis and trauma- it's for all of us. if someone is genuinely harming you, it's okay to seek help and to be alarmed. but if they are having symptoms that are not affecting you, it is not okay to treat them like garbage. treat everyone around you with respect, especially people with "scary" neurotypes and mental health conditions. no one deserves to be looked at with terror when they need help.
btw “doctors can be confidently wrong n ignorant” also mean:
“people not know what actual high support needs disabled/autistic look like” also include doctors
“people not know what actual level 2 & 3 autism looks like” also include doctors
“people who think struggling a lil more than average nondisabled neurotypical = have higher support needs or be level 2/3” also include doctors
all those include doctors who licensed to diagnose autism.
doctors diagnose level 2 & 3 autism wrong, too.
wouldn’t trust doctor who seem only have verbal speaking adults who able be independent enough not need carers to give services to me.
wouldn’t trust doctor who to them am might be most high support needs most severe person they ever work with, or even met.
doctors can specialize sure, but that mean specialize on one area on top of already have general understanding of everything in their scope of practice, not specialize in one thing so have excuse not know about other things in their scope of practice.
not trust doctors who not even have basic understand of high support needs autistics & level 3 autistics & nonverbal nonspeaking autistics to work with anyone autistic, tbh, even low support level 1 verbal autistics.
“Oh! To inkfish I just go by Tammie. I mainly just travel to gather up what you guys call ‘junk’ and to perhaps snatch up food. Salmon’s gotta eat! Also you guys have cool stickers and it’s hard to find them” they laughed a bit. They found it strange that it was so frowned on to take stuff from trash, but she decided it wasn’t a good time to bring it up.
“What about you?”
The salmonid was just about to go out to scavenge for items when she found a building she hadn’t gone by before.
“Huh. Well I did take a different route today” muttered Tammie.
They inched closer, searching the area for any unwanted items. They couldn’t help but notice the smell of food- and also the scent that a surface dweller lived here.
“Why would someone live so close to salmonid territory?” She pandered. The chum’s personality got the best of them and they peaked their head inside the window.
[ @friend-of-inkfish ]
Inside the home, the salmonid could see the figure of an inkling working on something - it looked like a weapon, a splatling, though it didn't quite look like one that Tammie would have seen normally, definitely having been modified time and time again.
The inkfish seemed very focused on her work, her mismatched eyes barely moved as she fixed up some wires inside her weapon. Her ears, which were tinged green like the colour of salmon ink, twitched slightly as she leaned forward, adjusting and cutting a coppery wire, then placing the length between two ports in the machinery of the splatling. Her simalarly stained hands weren't shaking, she seemed to be very skilled at what she was doing.
(Seeing a cis straight couple for the first time) I think I’m gonna be sick… What the fuck do you even call this…? Dark Yuri? Unfaggot? Do they have a fucking word for this? (Flashing back to my troubled childhood) Oh my god… This is that Marge and Homer shit isn’t it
It’s May, which means it’s Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Awareness Month!
Since it’s massively underdiagnosed, I figured this would be a great occasion to share some of my favorite infographics about this condition. (And for any of you who have been wondering why my personal posts here are basically all about medical mishaps and weird injuries: it’s because of hEDS and comorbidities.)
To any of my fellow zebras out there, we will make it through this!
May 24th.

I will never stop saying the furry fandom is intersexist until they remove the slurs for us (herm & futa) from their art sites, and stop stereotyping us and actively spreading the idea ambiguous genitalia = both genitalia.

i live in a town that is by majority black. i visit atlanta almost weekly and i see a rich community built from so many identities in culture. every fucking day i see and i talk to the people you guys are leaving behind when you say "fuck the south!" and i see that your activism really isn't for everyone
hope every trans man with a name like Kai or Alex gets to beat the shit out of anyone who uses their name just to shit on trans people, you deserve it honestly
