Hannah and I successfully did laundry \o/

I've actually been super concerned about academic language recently

I'm writing my senior thesis this next year, and I'm worried that I'll be shoved into writing inaccessibly/that I'm so surrounded by this stuff that I'll just imitate the sorts of things I'm personally opposed to.

Well, at least I'm interdisciplinary, which means I have to explain a lot of theory/presumptions from the onset, no matter who I'm talking to.

yesthattoo

Feminist Wire has a call for submissions on feminism and disability. I present at disability studies conferences, and I don’t understand their call. It’s not cognitively accessible [written in ways that people actually understand] in the least, and it claims to be inviting people outside academia. I hereby request a social media crisis.

Relevant things to do include reblogging this post, retweeting this tweet/conversations around it or this tweet/conversations, sharing this Facebook status, sharing the blogspot link elsewhere, and contacting The Feminist Wire directly, at [email protected], on Twitter, or on Facebook. This is their most recent share of the call.

Privilege is that when people write a call for submissions meant to include you, they write so you can understand it.

Do other autistic people often respond to/continue on topics that have long since passed by?

My partner says it's one of the things I do that really reminds her of another autistic person she knows. I also know official criteria often say something or another about "difficulty changing topics in conversation" -- but it feels sort of like I jump around topics too much, not too little.

It's not even that I'm keeping hold of a particular thought that I didn't get the chance to speak. I'll be talking about topic A, which then shifts to topic B or even C, and then suddenly I decide to continue on about something of topic A. More recently, I've gotten better at actually indicating that I am responding to a previous topic, but for a long time I would confuse folks by just suddenly jumping back to an old topic without warning.

I think it has to do with being slow to process my opinion/thoughts on certain things.

I'm just curious to see if other autistic folks experience this too?

#actuallyautistic #autism

omg how are there still people posting on the #asexual tag talking about how the A in LGBTQIA+ should stand for "both asexual and ~ally~"

omg stop

omg this tangle is great

Great. Seriously, great. That is ridiculously awesome news.

Not because it’s inherently better to have an almost entirely demi population than the other way round, but because it’s inherently better to know. Because it’s awesome to have words to express how we think differently from each other and it’s awesome to know roughly how many people think one way and roughly how many people think the other. Because people can lead better-informed lives. They don’t feel the pressure to act non-demisexual. They can discuss their attraction styles with their partners and dates. They can happily have sex or a romantic relationship without having to fake sexual attraction if they want to (and, in mainstream society, I’m pretty sure sexual attraction is currently assumed in both of those things). It’s not a utopia, but everyone understands themselves and each other just that tiny bit better.

Did y’all see this post on Asexual Agenda? It’s spectacular! Mad props to Siggy for composing this, wow!

one of the most helpful thing about self-diagnosing as autistic has been actually listening to my sensory wants/needs and seeing how other autistic folk handle them, instead of focusing on whether it’s “stupid” or “dramatic” to e.g. wear sunglasses indoors…

I question myself a lot too. I once stood in front of the Velcro products in a store for… a very long time, trying to decide whether or not to buy something. I was thinking of making a schedule/organizational chart with movable labels for various tasks to help with executive dysfunction. I kept thinking that “only people who are much more disabled than I am need that kind of thing” and “I’m being ridiculous and fooling myself” and “I just want to think that I’m autistic, but I’m not.” I was severely sleep-deprived and out of it and I eventually just walked away. I didn’t buy the Velcro. I did go back and buy it another time. But I still haven’t made that chart, which I think proves that I would, in fact, benefit from it.

I'm so glad hearing all these other stories of self-questioning. :) Like, not that they happen, but that it's not just me.

that said, i finally got the sense to order a pair of earmuffs and a tangle, since I've been wanting both for a while now

Just some resources for my transfeminine/trans women followers!

3999999-deactivated20260407

It’s interesting because as a transguy I don’t even know what transgirls have to go through in order to pass.

thatmagpie-deactivated20180730

That’s because neither do most trans women because of transmisogyny. There are no resources for us. Trans men get access to resources and support that we do not.

3999999-deactivated20260407

I haven’t even realized that before. Thank you for opening my eyes to this issue. It’s very sad though. I mean… I don’t even know what to say. Definitely reblogging every time something that might be useful for trans women shows up on my dash!

thatmagpie-deactivated20180730

cool that is a good thing to do. also i would appreciate it if you would submit them to tuckingandotherskills as well so we can get the word out!

thescurfofworse

HEY YEAH this is a thing - trans men get binder giveaways and feminist sex stores that cater to their needs. they get trendy top surgery fundraisers and art shows and shit. i mean THESE ARE ALL GREAT THINGS. but “resources for trans* people” needs to stop meaning “resources for trans* masculine folks”! OK THAT IS ALL CARRY ON AND THIS POST IS ALSO GREAT.
