ethical suggestions

With Halloween on the horizon, here is Angie Jordan with an important message.

Just because you don’t understand why something hurts someone doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt them.

If someone chooses to work with autistic people but doesn’t research or look up or even just freaking listen to what autistics are saying, I find it hard to believe that they actually care about autistic people.

Always be kind to the janitor.

Always be kind to the waitress.

Always be kind to the person at the call center.

Always be kind to the cashier.

Always be kind to receptionist.

Always be kind, When it’s possible.

If you can comprehend what they’re saying and the message is still gotten across you don’t need to correct their grammar.

This goes both for text and verbal conversations. This also applies in terms of pronunciation.

Here’s some fun advice; If someone tells you they don’t like being touched then don’t fucking touch them.

stop telling people to lose weight so they can be treated with humanity like how about you just start being a decent fucking human being and stop demonizing and dehumanizing fat people

it costs $0.00 to not bully autistic kids for talking about their special interests

fool me once, shame on u; fool me twice, shame on u again for taking advantage of my compassionate & forgiving nature!!!!!! how dare u

Like, Slurs aren’t just “mean names” you know? Slurs are slurs for a reason. Slurs are words with long painful histories. Slurs are words weighed down with death, pain, sadness, loss. You can’t just throw them around to show how edgy you are, how much you don’t care. If you feel like you’ve just gotta toss out a slur to make your point then tbh you’re argument obviously isn’t strong enough to stand on its own. There is never an appropriate time to use a slur that doesn’t belong to you. If you’ve got no claim to a word then keep it out of your damn mouth

the best apology is changed behavior
