how can you simultaneously believe "the largest therapy for autistic children is basically torture & the largest autism organization is a eugenicist hate group" but also "diagnosis is a privilege"
@chaotic-hypnotic-erotic how did Hohenzollern and Hanover vote?
Fever is a hilarious immune response. Our bodies tell the disease “hey, wanna see which one of us dies of overheating first? No? Too bad.” and honestly they’re not even the winners a decent chunk of the time but it works often enough that we never evolved it away or anything. Fantastic work.
I feel this image in my fucking soul. I don’t know how to explain it but I feel it deeply in my heart
Why must all fanfics who portray Autistic! Zuko make him an awkward turtleduck?? (Speaking as an autistic person)
I think it's related to an odd fetishization of autistic people as "soft" and "vulnerable" and "helpless." Making someone "autistic" is a way to "babyfy" them and make them more "cute" and "awkward." People not interested in actually writing autism accurately; instead people who want to write "awkward turtleduck" Zuko use "autism" as a crutch to further that characterization. Interestingly, I have read a few fanfics which try to write neurodivergent Azula, and it never looks anything like the common depiction of "autistic Zuko."
Full disclosure: I'm not neurodivergent myself, and I'm not sure what the best way to depict autism is. It just seems to me that common "Autistic! Zuko" portrayals aren't very accurate.
Watching the bear season 3 and so far I have lots of feelings about it
Cool screenshots of Waterfall from Undertale… but in Minecraft! Yea, it’s pretty neat :D hope you like!
By the way it’s this room it’s based off
OH! also if you have some spare time, i’d really appreciate if you check out the video i made on it! :)) i spent a while timelapsing and editing, so it’d really make my day
Y’all I just made Mac and cheese from scratch without a roux
If I'm entirely honest one of the harder things about being a feminist is simply realizing how pervasive misogyny still is even in the United States. Like Roe v Wade got overturned and women are being thrown in jail for needing life saving abortions. Yet men will face less time in prison for putting abortion pills in their girlfriends/wives' drinks. Absolute Insanity
Apparently for my history degree I'll have to write a 40 page thesis for my senior project and although I'm more than a few years away from having to do that assignment I'm already thinking about ideas for the thesis
