I find it quite strange that even though Tumblr is known as The Neurodivergence Website, a lot of people on here seem to assume that they're the only neurodivergent person on here, and/or that they're the only person on here who understands The Neurodivergent Experience, so they're quite eager to assume that every post on here was written by someone who's neurotypical and needs to be lectured on The Neurodivergent Experience
Google says itâs no different than checking IDs at the airport.
This is just another form of censorship, control of what we can/can't see and engage with, and another means of getting our private information.
Alternative forks of AOSP (Android Open-Source Project) which are not maintained by Google and will not be affected by this:
LineageOS (I use this one)
Graphene OS
Functionally they are virtually identical to stock Android. Android began as an open-source project, and these versions are built off of that.
Fuck Google.
for those like me who cannot install alternative android forks on their phone because the phone in question is thoroughly unrootable, I would recommend downloading anyapk on your phone while you still can. In their own words:
anyapk is a lightweight Android application installer that bypasses Google's developer verification requirements by using local ADB (Android Debug Bridge) connections. Smoothly install any APK file on your device without restrictions, gatekeepers, or corporate approval.
If you're reading this after Google's lockdown date and are unable to install anyapk the regular way, there is a method outlined on the github linked above which tells you how to install anyapk on your phone by plugging it into a computer with ADB installed on it. Once you have anyapk on your phone, you will not have to do that ever again (unless you delete anyapk off your phone)

From September 2026, all apps, including those outside the Play Store, must come from verified developers.
No more anonymous sideloads. No quick comebacks for malware gangs.

[Description for the second image: a post from jrepin that reads:
"Sideloading" is the rentseeker word for "being able to run software of your choosing on a computing device you purchased". There is no reasonable case for an operating system developer having a say over what programs you run on your hardware.

Also on age verification: I have been on this website since 2011. Unless you think I started blogging at age 2, you KNOW I'm an adult.
#the fact that 'can prove access to an online account at least 12 years old' or even 'account to be verified is itself fully 18 years old'#AREN'T accepted methods of age verification is such a telling sign of what the real purpose of age-gating laws is:#data harvesting and deanonymization and the buildout of state-controllable ways to restrict both content and internet access itself en masse (via @shinelikethunder )

i stopped giving a shit about "legit" purchases of digital products after i spent $80 on the entire Dark Horse collection of Trigun/Trigun Maximum ebook mangas, learning that I only got access to reading them through a proprietary website ereader function, couldn't download them, and couldn't get a refund, and then literally only a year later, getting an e-mail stating that Dark Horse was shutting down that part of their company and I wouldn't even be able to read them anymore. Fuck that
Pirate shit. Don't feel bad for it. It's not "your fault" that artists, independent or otherwise, can't make a living. You downloading an album or ebook for free isn't the cause of the problem. The cause is capitalism, plain and simple, and pirating is a lucky loophole that will companies are still trying to stomp out.
the person who helped today when I fell out of my wheelchair actually did a really great job, so I want to share in case other people wonder what to do. [Note: this is not universal, this is merely a suggestion from one person, every wheelchair user's needs are different! I am a person who uses a manual chair usually pushed by someone else who is also disabled.]
Scenario: you see someone in a wheelchair fall out of their chair, and you have the ability to help.
1. Approach and ask "are you okay?"*
2. Next question if they say no, are vague, or open to continuing conversation** is, "is there anything I can do to help?" Or "what can I do?"
If they say no to help, then that's the end, just leave and go do whatever you were doing!
If they ask for help or say they are mildly injured, ask "what would you like me to do?" And wait for an answer before doing anything! If they seem dazed or confused, they might have hit their head or had another medical event*, or they might just be like that due to regular disability. Be patient.
Do not touch the person unless they say to, or they are like, unconcious in the middle of the road, ya know?? Wheelchair users usually have conditions that mean being handled improperly can severely injure us, you could cause much more damage than the fall.
Some things they might need you to do:
Bring their wheelchair closer (mine went about 5 feet away after it dumped me)
engage the brakes of the wheelchair
hold wheelchair steady if it's an unsteady surface (mud, hill, ramp, wet, etc)
offer an arm for them to hold onto to get up (them grabbing you, not you grabbing them) or move another solid item closer for them to use (i.e. a chair) [only do this if you physically have the ability to!]
If the terrain is rough (i.e. a parking lot), they *might* ask you to push their chair to a more stable area once they are back in their chair
nothing
Something else
Do what they ask, NOT what you think would be helpful. If for some reason you have to do something (i.e. you can't stop oncoming traffic and need to get them out) ASAP, tell them what you plan to do
Keep in mind they might also be D/deaf, have a communication disability, be stunned after the fall, have a head injury, not trust other people, etc. Be patient and treat them as a person with autonomy and agency! They might need to just sit on the ground for a few minutes to recover before trying to get back in their chair. They might want everyone to leave them alone. They might ask you to call someone specific. Their chair might have broken and that can be extremely distressing. All of this is like if your legs spontaneously stop working when you're out and about!
A lot of wheelchair users (NOT ALL) have ways to get into their chair on their own once the chair is close enough and brakes engaged (but it's hard from the ground!). Here's what brakes look like on a lot of manual wheelchairs, in case they ask you to lock the brakes. They're levers on each side and pushing the lever pushes a bar against the wheel to hold it still.
ID: A manual wheelchair with the brake levels circled in red and labeled "user brake levers"
*There is also the possibility of course that a person fell out of their chair due to a seizure or other medical event, so that is why it is important to ask if they are okay. If you saw them hit their head, tell them so. If they had a medical event, follow protocol for that, I'm not gonna get into it here (thought I could).
**sometimes a person will be clear after the first question i.e. "I'm all good thanks" clearly means they do not need you to ask another question, you can just leave them alone. Keep walking and don't stare. A lot of the time people will be a bit banged up but be totally fine and able to manage on their own.
TLDR: Ask the wheelchair user if they're okay, then what they need, and then do exactly that, including leaving them alone. Thanks!
an important reply in the tags
[ID: A reply reading, "It's worth noting that unless someone is in immediate danger (on a road, near a chemical spill) there's basically no justification to move a unresponsive person on the ground, basic first aid will tell you that your objective is to stabilize and support until actual trained professionals arrive. Even outside of the context of pre-existing disability and being mishandled, if someone has a brand new neck injury you could seriously, permanently harm them by causing undue stress on the spine. You should always assume an unresponsive person on the ground has internal injuries you can't account for, and unless they're about to get smushed or asphyxiate on vomit leave them where you found them and call an ambulance."

all right guys, letâs have a conversation about soulmates
because Iâm a nerd who majored in ancient China and still canât let it go
okay so we all know that wangxian invented romance, but letâs talk a bit more about the iconic dialogue in episode 25:
Lan Wangji: ä˝ ććçśćäťéşźäşş? / What kind of person do you take me for?
Wei Wuxian: ććžçśćä˝ çśĺćç˘ççĽĺˇą / I had once thought that, in my lifetime, you would be the one who knew me.
Lan Wangji: çžĺ¨äťćŻ / I still am.
Iâve seen various translations of the phrase âç˘ççĽĺˇąâ as âlifelong confidanteâ or âsoulmate,â and Iâm always so torn because these are both fine translations but like, not quite there
Keep reading
Always bear in mind that there is absolutely no legitimate evidence that Luigi was actually the one who killed the insurance company guy.
Of course he wasn't. He was at a party with me that day.
No but like literally, actually. All bits aside.
He didn't do it.
The cops very clearly planted evidence on him because they had to make an arrest because all eyes were on them and whoever actually did the deed was making them look stupid.
Why would the real killer hero have kept the weapon on his person and traveled two states over while carrying it and a manifesto in his bag, conveniently turning the crime into a federal matter? The same guy whose bag they found in a park, filled with monopoly money? Why did the police turn off their bodycams, take Luigi's stuff, drive a block away, turn their bodycams back on, go back into the restaurant, and then arrest him?
From the moment of his arrest, even left-of-center media has been presuming his guilt without examining anything (e.g. calling him "the killer" instead of "alleged" or "accused") and then when I say he didn't do it, the nearest person chimes in with some quip that tells me they think he did do it but should go free anyway. Don't get me wrong, I would have the same attitude if he had done it. But he didn't. It makes me feel like the only sane person in the world, even among my staunchly leftist friends.
All of that, and also I've seen pictures of Luigi and the security camera pics of the suspect, and that's not the same guy. Logic tells me Luigi didn't do it, and also my fucking eyes tell me it wasn't him.
Text of tweet under the cut because it is loooong.
But... Stochastic Parrots.

Kent State University
âThe Kent State shootings (also known as the May 4 massacre or the Kent State massacre)[3][4][5] were the shootings on May 4, 1970 of unarmed college students by members of the Ohio National Guard at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio during a mass protest against the bombing of Cambodia by United States military forces. Twenty-eight guardsmen fired approximately 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.[6][7]â
âThere was a significant national response to the shootings: hundreds of universities, colleges, and high schools closed throughout the United States due to a student strike of 4 million students,[10] and the event further affected public opinion, at an already socially contentious time, over the role of the United States in the Vietnam War.[11]â
Student strike of 4 million students! Letâs do that again lol
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_State_shootings
Donât forget that basically half the country thought the students deserved itâŚ
Another picture from Kent State.
But it was not just Kent State, eleven days later Mississippi Police fired 150 rounds into a dormitory at Jackson State College, killing 2 and wounding 15 black protesters.
Btw half of the students killed at Kent State werenât even protesting, they were just there
What in the absolute fuck
When the Irish guy has known about this since he was like 8, but itâs suspiciously hard for Americans to learn aboutâŚ
I literally only know abt this bc my parents are hippies itâs fucked up
I only had a vague idea of what this was and what happened until I did my own research on it.
When I was 21.
i never heard of thisâŚâŚ and i live in this countryâŚâŚâŚ WTFÂ
Welcome to America. If you want to learn some actual history, then research it yourself
I feel like it needs to be pointed out that to this day, nobody knows exactly what happened.
I donât say that to absolve the National Guard, either. I say it because if you read about the minutes leading up to the shooting, it is extremely obvious the ONG was an absolute fucking mess. Orders were not being passed along correctly, unclear and contradictory orders were being given. At least part of what happened next was due to individual members of the Guard being agitated and on edge due to having no fucking idea what was going on or whether there was danger from armed students.
Itâs important to know this because itâs important to understand what a breakdown in communication and discipline looks like on a military level, especially as we move into an era where military presence can be expected to increase at protests and demonstrations. I donât know how different 4 May 1970 would have looked if the Guard had received clear and consistent orders. I do think it would have looked different, though. I think thereâs a possibility nobody would have died. There were students who were out of order, yes (rocks can be considered lethal weapons, thereâs a reason stoning to death is a thing), but not one of them deserved to pay for it with their lives.
If youâre going to protest in the face of the military, know what a breakdown looks like. Itâs important.
Kent State was literally in our textbooks. That picture was literally in our textbooks. At a certain point you have to stop drawing sexy naruto or whatever and pay attention, and then when you graduate, you should probably keep learning about stuff. Like the Beslan School Massacre.
The roots of Putinism were already evident after the massacre of 334 people in a school in Russia in 2004.
âThe government doesnât want you to know about thisâ
[presents literally one of the most famous college photos in all American history]
That photo of the Kent State shooting is super famous. Most textbooks discussing the 60s include it, any deeper coverage of the 60s or the counterculture of the period discusses it, it is still frequently referenced and talked about, part of the reason the Kent State âgun girlâ is in such bad taste is that she was doing all that on a campus where students had been very famously gunned down within living memory and that was brought up at the time, Crosby Stills & Nash have a goddamn song about it
Ipnotico
the music is almost as good as that visual
Turn the sound on! You will not be disappointed, people!

Whoever commented ânonchalant parkourâ absolutely nailed it.
The Electoral College is baked into our Constitution and thus predates the abolition of slavery.
It was the solution to the problem of, "how do we hold timely elections in a vast region (much of it wilderness) without radio, telephones, or Internet?" Well, you send representatives to the capitol! Each representative is supposed to vote on behalf of the people back home, the way they want.
It was fine. It worked fine.
250 years ago. Now it's stupid.
Congress is very, very unlikely to abolish the Electoral College. It'd take a constitutional amendment, and that takes a 2/3 majority of both parts of Congress. The simple fix is "unfreeze the size of the House." Representatives used to be at 1 per 30,000 people; later, 1 per 50,000. In 1929, they were frozen based on the population in the 1910 census. Right now, it's 1 rep per 750,000+ people... except in states smaller than that, where it's 1 per state. (WY, VT, AK)
How expansion of the House of Representatives could work â and why it would benefit democracy
If the House of Reps has 1 rep per 50,000 people (or, hell, 100,000) - your representative would have a much better chance of representing YOU. Or your city or district.
And the resulting House would be big enough that it wouldn't all split on R-vs-D lines - there would be factions, and groups allied over different sets of interests, and room for the occasional third party Representative.
This would not fix the Electoral college; the fix for that is Popular Vote Interstate Compact, where states agree to put all their electoral votes towards whoever wins the popular vote - if states worth more than 270 votes sign on, it assigns the win to whoever won the popular vote. (They're at 18 states + DC, with 222 electoral votes.)
State status: AK AL AR AZ CA CO CT DC DE FL GA HI IA ID IL IN KS KY LA MA MD ME MI MN MO MS MT NC ND NE NH NJ NM NV NY OH OK OR PA RI SC SD
The other fix is: One adult citizen, one vote, no excuses. No more removing prisoners' right to vote and allowing former slave states to have a huge "counts towards representatives" population that can't vote.
The electoral college itself, as a concept, is not horribly biased. It skews toward smaller states - but that'd be mostly eradicated if they rebalanced the House, and especially if states didn't have the right disenfranchise people they don't want voting.
