reblogging and things

i am not a psychiatrist but i do find it really weird how autism checklists are so often focused on "outward" signs of autism rather than what is going on internally. i don't know how to explain it but "do you make eye contact with other people" feels like a much less relevant question than "how does it feel when you have to make eye contact with other people?"

isn't it insane though how schizophrenic people are viewed as violent and dangerous by the majority of society when in reality schizophrenic people are nearly 14 times more likely to be on the receiving end of violence than to be the perpetrators...

Happy pride month to trans sex worker, homeless queers and and folks in the throes of addiction especially. I promise that there are people who give a shit about you. Please don't give up.

PLEASE im begging you to not hold yourself to such standards, much less other people.

A actual fucking hero dude

I’m tempted to say, “Not all heroes wear capes,” but I get the impression this Fine Fellow probably owns more than one.

i promise that the people worth having in your life will not make you feel like you have to shrink yourself to be likable

tu LANCES félicette ? tu lances son corps comme la fusée ? oh ! oh ! prison pour les scientifiques ! prison pour les scientifiques pendant Un Mille Ans !

I feel like it would help people move on so much faster if they looked at something a person they once considered close did and just went “a friend probably wouldn’t do this to me” . Like actually. A friend would not do this to you .

This is why Pride is not just a party. It's a joyful celebration, but it's also a pointed and colourful two-finger salute to a world that stood back whilst so many of us died. And we'll never go quietly, never again.
