Women being described as handsome >>>>>>>>>>>>

It's a little bit funny when I talk about how what passes for autistic advocacy on Tumblr often operates by openly throwing other neurodivergent people under the bus – critically including other autistic people whose communication needs don't conform with a very specific archetype – and folks come at me assuming that I'm some clueless allistic who's being mean to them for no reason, because Does This Look Like A Blog A Neurotypical Person Would Run.

I have insisted for a long time that while the stereotypes that neurotypical people have about autistic people are awful, they're also predictable: it is a pretty standard set of consistent, wrong beliefs. Nobody, however, believes more bizarre things about autistic people than autistic people. Autistic people are out here reinventing eugenics, Mary Baker Eddy-style Neo-Gnostic Positivism, deterministic teleology, all sorts of things from first principles that are, crucially, also wrong. It's fascinating, if somewhat frustrating. (My usual joke about my one friend's Facebook page is 'Neurotypicals Don't Understand All Autistic People Use Clear Communication' Says Autistic Woman Who Constantly Ghosts Others For Months.)

I'm not sure I'd call the prevalence of eugenicist rhetoric in certain stripes of online autistic advocacy a reinvention, per se; "nerds are literally, materially a more 'highly evolved' clade of humans" is a mind-gremlin that's been clinging to nerd culture since before the Internet was a thing, and certain online spaces seem simply to have absorbed it wholesale.

why are werewolves always described as gross and sweaty and smelly. what if they have good hygiene and shower every day. what if they smell like cucumber watermelon shampoo . what then

we are NOT bringing 4chan incel terminology to this site, take that "foid" out of your post and go wash your blog out with soap

the memeification of fascism is a proven method of perpetuating and instilling it in other people. Layers of irony will not protect you once you adopt racist, sexist, ableist, transphobic terminology into your lexicon. you'll be acknowledging and nursing the mindsets and connotations borne of those words.

Thank-you to all of my new Internet stranger friends for being so gracious about having my post shoved onto your dashboards. I loved reading all of your kind tags and comments! Both Martin and Bosco have been gone for several years now but for 24 hours, they felt very present in my life. I greatly appreciate this gift. ❤️

Reblog to have your dashboard be visited by the spirit of joy that death can end but not erase.

Thank you to everyone who commented in their tags or messaged me. Indeed, today is “Martin and Bosco Day”. I originally whimsically blazed this photo on 13 July 2022. I never expected Martin and Bosco to travel so far and make so many new friends. The experience has been such a gift for me.

my toddler is 3 years old and wont eat anything other than fine porterhouse steaks and sweet port wine

you need to discipline your child. port is a horrible choice for the main course and wildly clashes with a rich béarnaise.

And uncultured. Get a new child
