As An APD-haver Who Also Enjoys Hip-hop And Grew Up Listening To The Greats, I Concur.

As an APD-haver who also enjoys hip-hop and grew up listening to the greats, I concur.

Don't lump it all in with the gangsta rap (that genre is usually the rap equivalent of pop music and is not to be treated as an example)

Do those people who say “I don’t like rap because of my auditory processing issues” know that they can look up lyrics? Do they know that they can enjoy the beat and the mixing and the cadence of the artist even if they can’t parse out what the words are quite yet? Like I know that it’s a way to try and absolve themselves of racism by playing the disability card, but like, as someone who also has auditory processing issues, you don’t need to understand every word on first listening to appreciate the musicality. And then there are very easy ways to learn the lyrics afterwards.

Solidarity ✊🏼

let's hear it for the nonbinary folks who:

don't present androgynously

use "binary" pronouns in any capacity

identify partially with a binary gender

have a "gendered" name

don't experience body dysmorphia

don't experience gender dysphoria

DO experience gender dysphoria/body dysmorphia but aren't sure what gender or body would suit them

just experience body/gender apathy instead

can't be open about their gender identity yet

you're all absolutely valid.

don't ever feel like you're "not nonbinary enough" because you absolutely are! 💖

Hey, here’s a concept. What if we stopped saying “but autistic people CAN do all those things” (erasing high support needs) and instead started saying “not being able to do those things doesn’t impact someone’s value as a person nor does it make it okay to commit eugenics”.

Portal is a horror game.

It posits itself as this fun, quirky puzzle game, but that's so clearly not what it is even 5 minutes in. This supposedly bustling science facility is completely silent. No one is watching through the observation windows, the test chambers are visibly dirtied and worn, and the only voice you hear throughout the entire game is the "Pre-Recorded" GLaDOS, who is consistently glitching and saying things that are slightly ominous. This feeling is only amplified by Kelly Bailey's masterful soundtrack, which similarly to Half-Life 2, creates this feeling of loneliness and abandonment. It all comes to a head in Chamber 16 when you finally see Doug Rattman's writings for the first time and realize "Something is VERY wrong here." Afterwards, you learn more and more about how fucked Aperture really is, like how the water in the test chambers is actually a result of flooding, how the Turrets are very much NOT a testing element, and how the Iconic Cake is in fact, a lie. This all comes to a head in the final chamber when the illusion completely falls away and GLaDOS is revealed as a killer, leading into the game's final act. However, even after the Reveal, Portal still manages to keep its horror elements, as GLaDOS slowly hunts you throughout the facility. Stalking, waiting. It's still quiet, still lonely. But now the danger is real, and it's coming for you.

It is absolutely amazing to see people joining together en masse to stick it to these big corporations.

As a punk who has boycotted Amazon for years, welcome to the movement everybody!! Great job
