Once you start noticing how the incapacity to handle discomfort affects how people live their lives it's actually pretty shocking how it ruins pretty much every conceivable aspect of existence. Interpersonal relationships, romantic and platonic. Career and education opportunities. Your politics Your willingness to go anywhere. The kind of food you eat. The kind of art you expose yourself to and your ability to read it. It's never just one thing, it touches everything, and once you notice it it's like suddenly being able to see germs or something. Just this horrific catastrophe people look at you askance for screaming about. As I grow older and see what became of my friends and peers who could not learn to handle discomfort, the more I'm like. This is a genuine societal issue
Increasing my discomfort tolerance has also been one of the greatest assets to improving my mental health.
I love posts that are like
Mainstream news are biased and they only tell you about scary, upsetting stuff. So they might not tell you all the good stuff that has happened recently!:

I am obsessed with people who act like the doctor who gave them (or their kid) prognosis that they overcame is like. a hater who didn't believe in them enough.
US Defense Secretary Hegseth's plan for giving even more power to military contractors is deeply dystopian.
Current and former corporate executives are now being directly embedded into the Pentagon solely to influence its decision-making. Many of these executives are acting on behalf of companies that make billions in contracts from the government agency they're influencing.

im not anti rpf per se but when i see people shipping the actors who play two characters in an already popular ship im always amazed like why did the fictional ones not do it for you. like what's happening there
Not to be a bitch but tumblr users' confidence that they are politically engaged compared to their actual knowledge of current events is absolutely staggering.
I understand that there is discussion of masking by autistic people that is much more honest and in-depth, but so much of the stuff I see sort of leans on the assumption that masking is something one chooses to do in order to appear "normal"
In reality, I think the behavior pattern that we name as "masking" is the natural behavioral and psychological result of being consistently punished for attempting to acknowledge your own reality during formative developmental periods. And I'm not sure that "masking" is a clarifying word to use for this
OK OK OK, someone in the tags said that they don't know the degree to which they are masking, bc they don't know what is normal/expected and therefore have no way of knowing how much they're altering themselves to fit into that expectation (thank you for articulating that!!) and I think that clarified a lot for me about my problems with the framing of masking.
Because that method of trying to "unmask" will always fail, bc it hinges on the assumption that there is a core underlying Self that is being Covered Up with the mask.
In reality, one does not have a chance to develop a true "self" due to the circumstances of their development. this is broadly true for almost all humans (SHOW ME AN UNALTERED TRUE HUMAN SELF,) because of the heavily social nature of how our selfhood intersects with other people's perception of us, but in some people it is much more marked and detrimental than others. What I think is the issue at hand is not the Self, but rather the internal experience. The Self is a construction we build to understand ourselves as beings, and it is heavily informed by our understanding of our own experiencs. understanding of those experiences is the actual issue. Being able to identify and name the effects that moving thru the world have on you. And teasing out how those acknowledgements of one's internal experience have been punished out of us.
The "recovering from burnout as a high masking person" post does use this framework, but I think that referring to people whose sense of their own internal reality has been so warped and shattered that they have to completely learn from scratch as "high masking" is just not intuitive and that it communicates what is being discussed... Poorly. I understand that that is the language that is used by the community broadly rn, and I don't object to individual instances of its use, but I do think that we would be better served in these conversations by framing it differently than "masking"
I also see people framing even the most basic social skills (things like "tolerating mild discomfort" and "avoiding offensive phrasing of desires") as masking. At a certain point I think we have to be aware that there is a degree of curtailing one's personal self expression inherent in existing within a society, and that autistic people are not the only people who have to be aware of societal norms and contort selves to exist within them as part of experiencing that society. The difference is of course in the degree of contortion required to fit neatly into the society, not the phenomenon of having to contort in the first place.
It bugs me! And I think it creates unnecessary friction among communities of people first discovering autism and is susceptible to a weird kind of reverse curb cut effect where unmasking (== "stretching out and de-contorting from the society in which you live into a more comfortable shape") is set aside as something Just For Autistics, as if there aren't lots of groups of people whose existence is policed and shaped and bonsai-trimmed into painfully stunted or twisted shapes. Which, of course there are, and not all of them are groups where a mental health framework is remotely appropriate (e.g. constraints on the acceptable behavior of black people especially in gendered contexts), so why are we framing so much advocacy this way?
YESSSSSS
sooooo many sexuality labels only exist because you are all afraid of the freedom that bisexuality offers
hm okay well i am not reading the rest of that ♥️
Biphobia is crazy. Can you imagine if people were linking the dictionary definition of "gay" on every single homohobia discourse post?
"Bi means two" okay and so what if it does. My sexuality is defined by my attraction to both men and women. No, those aren't the only genders. Yes, I am also attracted to nonbinary people. Anyone can be. Gay men, lesbians, theoretically even straight people, are all capable of dating certain nonbinary people. Attraction to nonbinary people really doesn't define a sexual orientation.
Would you fill up a gay man's notes with questions about whether his definition of gayness includes the possibility of attraction to nonbinary people? Are we going to start calling gay men queerphobic because the Merriam Webster definition says they are only attracted to men?
Generally speaking ICE does not feel the need to lie about who they are. I'm not saying it has never happened but mostly weilding their authority as federal law enforcement works for them. They don't really need to ask for your info under false pretenses when they can just do it under threat of force. We sometimes see them id themselves as another agency that they hope sends up fewer hackles - the DEA or something - but so far they mostly haven't come to people's doors pretending to be magazine salesmen or whatever

my favorite type of tumblr discourse is when people who openly acknowledge they want to fight op because they are using their own personal made-up definition of a word from the post that is wildly different than the meaning 99% of people would understand.

Why is this every sponsored post
The original Autism Speaks mom trying to beef with Sinn Fein and citing her cred as an Irish American is annhialating me btw

This April, here's the story I want to tell about Autism Speaks.
Autism Speaks was co-founded by the CEO of NBC and his wife after their grandson was diagnosed with autism. At the time they said their mission was to "unlock our grandchild from the disorder that has captured him" and described the diagnosis as a loss or kidnapping of the normal boy he should have been. Two years after they founded the group, the mother of their grandson was publicly attributing her son's autism to vaccines. They did not publicly take the stance that vaccines do not cause autism until 2017.
The mother of the family's autistic grandson now runs a substack where she continues to post crank bullshit. She does podcast interviews where she only discusses her now adult son as a toddler, only mentions his name once, and talks about how disgusting it must be when another parent neutrally mentions changing an older kid's diaper.
It's striking to me today how artificial the absense of autistic voices in this org and autism mom communities online is. It's all modeled on the reaction of a family with hundreds of millions of dollars to their child's disability. The script for how to talk about your kid's autism comes from the type of people with a $22 million penthouse, who fundraise at Mar a Lago. No wonder it's like this.
I rarely bring this up because it feels like fairly silly and low-stakes compared to all the other effects of american imperialism, but one of the funniest things when Americans deny that living in the imperial core and the center of global cultural hegemony confers them any sort of privilege over people from the imperial periphery is that like. In order for this conversation where you tell me you have no privilege over me to even be able to take place one of us had to learn the other's language, and it wasn't you.
I think the fact that by default the onus of learning the other's language to enable communication is always put on the other side is a pretty significant privilege on the cultural front.
Someone commented this post with "So if I learned, say, Hawaiian and talked to a hawaiian person, then the hawaiian would be privileged? Come on, think about what you're writing, man" and then blocked me as soon as I tried to reply, so.
Monolingual anglophones are a deeply solipsistic people unable to think about international power dynamics on any level beyond the individual to comprehend that "one guy making the individual choice to learn your language" does not represent the same level of linguistic hegemony and privilege as "millions of people all over the world learning specifically your language because they're expected to be able to speak it as a near-universal requirement for any kind of upward mobility while learning a second language is never expected of you"
