I do appreciate the sentiment but maybe I should rephrase:

can we hurry up and make it normalized to have boobs out in public so that even if it’s legal in your state you don’t risk get arrested anyway and you need to hire an attorney to point out that you were’t breaking any laws.

can we hurry up and make it normalized to have your boobs out in public so it’s weird that it’s legal in some places and not others.

reblog it twice and force it

down everyone’s throats

They just can't get diagnosed. Because an autism diagnosis requires problems: Difficulty with communications, with managing emotions, with physical behavior constraints.

An autistic child raised by compassionate parents who don't mind that their kid won't meet their eyes to talk, who don't get upset at hand-twitches, who avoid clothes that the kid doesn't like, who help the kid understand their own emotions and how to recognize the emotions in the people around them ("see how his forehead is crinkled? That means he may be upset, or he may just be thinking hard, but either way, he's probably not happy")... may not have noticed that the kid is autistic.

There's a reason a lot of autism isn't recognized until school - because parents that just pay attention to their kids and adapt their communication to what the kid needs, may not set off any of the "problem indicators." And a compassionate school may manage to bypass them as well, especially for girls, who are less likely to have the "fidget" behaviors, and for whom "speak softly while not making eye contact" isn't usually considered a red flag.

According to the DSM-5, autism is characterized by:

difficulty communicating and interacting with others

repetitive behaviors and a narrow set of interests

symptoms that affect quality of life and functioning in areas like work and school

...if the person's symptoms don't "affect quality of life and functioning," they don't get diagnosed. If their surrounding community is supportive, they may not have "difficulty communicating and interacting" - just a different style than most of the people around them. And their interests may be seen as "well, that's what they're interested in; it's cool that they have a hobby."

Autism is only officially labeled when it causes problems for neurotypicals in the autistic person's community.

They didn't just cut out the parts with the oat milk, they skillfully edited over all the god-damn branding and replaced the audio.

But what I still find most hilarious about this whole commercial is the fact that everything they show in this solar punk world seems to be made with sustainable, zero waste and reusable materials.

Everything EXCEPT THE FUCKING CHOBANI BRANDED STUFF! The only plastic you see in this whole commercial is all the straight to the landfill packaging made by the very corporation that tries to sell how sustainable and "green" they are. Unintentional self satire at its finest.

They couldn't even show their yogurt and milk in (basically infinitely reusable) glass containers because they pretty much only sell their shit in plastic

Another really interesting thing about this edit is that they changed the label on the side of the apple-picking machine.

From "donations" to "commons". It's a subtle change, but it makes a huge difference in the world-building of the video. The former implies that this big orchard belongs to an owner and that they're donating the fruits to "the less fortunate" (and, by extension, that poverty is still a thing); the latter implies that the orchard belongs to everyone and that the fruits are free to take in the spirit of solidarity.

It's happening, but you'll have to know where to look to find out. Not the major media, which are afraid of The Felon Guy.
