sorry if this is rude, but what do you mean "body fluids", like sweat? because that one i guess is fine, but like i really hope you dont mean what you would guess "body fluids" means, like i just bounce my leg when im stimming, or like spin around a stick i found outside.
(and yes i understand in that one youre talking about like 5 year old autistic people, because those are the ones that would do that, and arent like really *severly* disabled. sorry that part just really caught me off-guard)
happy autism acceptance month. this month, regardless if you're abled or disabled, allistic or autistic, try to consider if you really do accept people with autism. all aspects of autism. people who:
without volume control
talk to themselves or make sounds (seemingly) at random
have huge screaming meltdowns
stim any way, including smearing body fluids
only talk about one subject and will never "move on"
stare inappropriately
struggle with personal hygiene
are unemployed
who left education early ("dropped out")
has a carer and will always need one
don't use mouth words to communicate
have comorbid intellectual disability and don't want to separate that from their autism
autism acceptance month can't truly be about acceptance if we don't broaden our understanding of autism and confront our internal biases. these things listen above are normal parts of autism. sometimes very common. there's stigma around them, but that's stigma we can actively fight.
terfs include biology in politics, but not psychology in biology, even though the brain and body are deeply inter-twined, but politics and biology are only inter-twined in aryan ideas.
terfs use basic biology, we use complex biology and basic ethics.
its technically not alienating someones rights if you make the rights different instead of removing them, you see thats completely what inalienable means
Listen, if a Bad President can come in and take away our rights and we're dependent on a Good President replacing them in four years to give us back our rights, then we do not have any rights.
If politicians can take or distribute them, then they're not "inalienable" and they're not "rights."
We don't have inalienable rights we have conditional privileges, divvied out according to the whims of whoever currently holds the reins.
And if we want to have actual rights, then we must build a system in which no one has the power to take them away to begin with.
also think about the medicinal technology we had 70 years ago, in 1950 the life expectency was 69.15~ (66,5 male and 71,8 female, US) and now its 77,43!, you might just live to 85+!
hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset
the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years
taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult
at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)
'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65
it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age
it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.
you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.
young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!
there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big
even if being asexual was straight, UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL
hot take that shouldn’t be hot:
asexual/aromantic/aspec people who are also cis and straight should be welcomed and accepted in the queer community
i always described it as three types asexuals:
cant feel it
feels it and is repulsed
feels it and isnt repulsed but wouldnt like to be sexual with anyone / is asexual for personnal belief
-but describing it with a spectrum is way better
just a handy little info chart on the spectrums of sexuality.
/Edit: I forgot to give credit this is a screenshot from a video made by a content creator called Lily Orchard you should check her channel out it's amazing
i also HATE IT when people do quotes, parentheses, and emphises incorrectly "like: this"
i hate it when people are writing a long ass thing and start a parenthetical aside and forget to close parentheses it makes me feel like i cant escape from the sentence
terfs be like: "well im feminist because i believe someones validity is based on their biology and not their work in life"
if theres a group thats all one gender we should just call the group by that gender. that would be funny, i think
very unlucky day to post
EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP SCIENTISTS AT THE SCHMIDT OCEAN INSTITUTE HAVE FOOTAGE OF A LIVE COLOSSAL SQUID FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what if the next pope was just like, super gay, people would either be really mad, or completely ignore them
the late pope was really liberal for pope standards and that was pretty cool and the next one will probably be less chill which is going to suck for Catholics so my sympathies for that.
but I think we can all admit that dying during the highest holiday of the Christian calendar after meeting an insufferable fascist catholic convert is such a power move. and a little funny. a guy so insufferable the leader of his church went "no i can't deal with this guy for four years".
idk i love seals and spheals. i want to become a zoologist, but i cant pronounce z, you zee my problem?
