never let people forget that the main target of nazis are jews.

The only personality test the internet needs

the whole “only neurodivergent people are ALLOWED to use fidget/stim/chew toys” thing blows my fuckin mind anyway because it creates a completely imaginary divide between How Neurotypicals Work and How We Work that doesnt exist in reality. neurotypical people totally have stimming behaviors they just arent pathologized? thats kind of the whole point of neurodiversity, that we arent inherently Sick, we’re just pathologized arbitrarily?

For Kafka, as well as for other survivors of child abuse, keeping silent became a way of life and any breaking of silence was experienced as extremely dangerous…Kafka’s childhood whimper was so silenced that as an adult he was unable to cry. He wrote, ‘To me other people’s tears are a strange incomprehensible phenomenon’. Kafka described himself as able to weep only when reading particular passages he had written. As he said: a book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.

“So long as I confine my activities to social service and the blind, they compliment me extravagantly, calling me ‘arch priestess of the sightless,’ ‘wonder woman,’ and a ‘modern miracle.’ But when it comes to a discussion of poverty, and I maintain that it is the result of wrong economics—that the industrial system under which we live is at the root of much of the physical deafness and blindness in the world—that is a different matter! It is laudable to give aid to the handicapped. Superficial charities make smooth the way of the prosperous; but to advocate that all human beings should have leisure and comfort, the decencies and refinements of life, is a Utopian dream, and one who seriously contemplates its realization indeed must be deaf, dumb, and blind.”

I reblogged an older version of this yesterday that contained an error, and @charadreemurr was nice enough to let me know they’d published an updated corrected version!
