    Saw this today: It says, "You don't have to be a social justice warrior; you can be a social justice wizard (learn all you can, use what you know); be a social justice warlock (tap into powers greater than yourself); be a sj cleric (keep the faith, heal with your words)" 1/

  6. I do most of the time. I also cut Hubs' hair; the 1st time I did it, he freaked out (his hair is 3 inches shorter dry, than wet, because of curls) because he was convinced I'd ruin it. It looked better (healthier, more even) than after his last professional cut. So there.

    A lot of the toxicity in my family comes from undiagnosed older autistics brutally enforcing conformity in the same manner it's been done to them by the previous generation.

    This is also advice that would work for my 2 (one is 13, with ASD + nonspecific LD, and the other is 11, with ASD + suspected ADHD). My 2 ask "rude" questions, and I'm a bit shit at functioning through my embarrassment, so guides like this are incredibly helpful.

    Who are LGB Alliance? Are they an LGB rights organisation, or are they an anti-trans organisation? Can they be both? I did some analysis of their followers to find out. A THREAD⬇️

    I'm B'Elanna Torres, and/or the Romulan Commander from OS episode, "The Enterprise Incident." Special mention: all of the characters who understand who they are, but struggle to express it to others (Spock, Data, Worf, Odo, and the sexiest lizard, aka Garak).

    When people scream "ban all single use plastics!" I wonder if they realize that single use plastics in medical settings save literally countless lives every year. I get it, you love sea turtles and hate straws and disabled people, but maybe also listen to medical professionals?

    Why do so many disability services expect you to talk on the phone? Have they never heard of ? Disabled people are an afterthought to society. Autistic people don't even rate that high.

    Oh, well, I mean... if you're on the Neurotypical spectrum you can say "Neurotypical" if you want, but since I'm not... y'know... one of those... I'm not comfortable using that term without saying "on the spectrum"... NT or not, you're definitely being *an* a-word.

    I trust Jon, I'm retweeting this. Almost ALL of us would benefit from solutions re: disturbed sleep. Personally, I think this issue is right up there with "let us stim" and "please dim the lights" and "stop with the hand-dryers...."

    The sound of my pulse in my ears used to keep me awake at night, age 4 or so. That completely dark room, no light at all, no fan or A/C or TV or radio... *shudders*

    English leftists: if you remember the anger, the heartbreak and the fear you felt on Dec 13th, seeing a tory government you didn't vote for win, think about how Scotland has gone through this every single election and their votes have meant nothing. A thread:

    It's interesting how when I was making back to back posts about suicidal ideation in relation to my autistic experience, no one questioned me. But the moment I decided to do something happy, & post a clip of me stimming, folk decided to pop up mad 😂 Be you unapologetically.

    And inadvertently alienating even the person you're defending, by being "too much" in your reaction to the injustice.
