just to be clear, the fact that music was nominated for a golden globe is absolutely disgusting. every single (adult) involved in that gross, ableist movie should be sickened by themselves.

sia wasn’t even just silent, when autistic actors pointed out that she hadn’t even tried to contact anyone with autism to be in her film, sia’s response was “well maybe you’re just not a good enough actor.” when she was challenged about making this film, she assured us that she had “done her research” by WATCHING HOURS OF MELTDOWN VIDEOS.

Autism Speaks recently confirmed that they were not, contrary to Sia's claims, consulted in the making of this movie. I repeat: the terrible people Sia lied about asking for advice had to clarify that Sia was lying about having asked them for advice.

I’m laughing, but there’s a super useful corollary, which my husband calls “the Red Balloon.” He was a defense lawyer and had a fair number of drug addicts come through, and there is a thing where if you’re like, on your first offense, they’ll do a thing where you can go to treatment and if you complete it they’ll take the conviction off your record.  And he would tell his clients, “Look, everyone’s going to tell you not to do drugs. They’re going to say it over and over again. And it’s like, if people tell you not to think of a white elephant, you’re going to think of a white elephant. But the trick to not thinking about a white elephant is to think of a red balloon. So you need to find your red balloon. For some people it’s yoga. For others it’s woodworking. For some people it’s scrapbooking or gardening or any of a long list of things to do. They focus on that, it’s a lot easier to succeed in ignoring the white elephant.” So yeah, “watch yourself” is one thing… but the better idea is to watch something else. (Even if it’s fanfic about werewolves fucking.)

HOLY SHIT, IT WAS THE ORIGINAL ONE

ITS THE REAL ONE YES

So, you wanna wear your cool pants with your cool shoes.

How do they keep falling for the bait?

Omg people, stop rebloging only the first part! The guy did his research, realized his mistake, and actually apologized:

This is literally the last month you can reblog this joke
