*awkward dinosaur noises*

so fun story for those who didn't hear it the first time around:

the above picture (which took me about five minutes max to make) got me put on some weird far-right website's "terrorist watch" list

Some autistic people don't and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life. Some autistic people do need constant help and support and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life.

Once again we're falling in the right wing trap of :

They make a hateful, fascist statement

Instead of focusing on the fact that it is hateful and fascist we try to show them that they are factually wrong

We throw our own allies and the most vulnerable of us under the bus in the process

We legitimise an only slightly less hateful, fascist view as we go

They have completed their goal of making us accept the still hateful, fascist second version, hurrah. What a victory.

Right now what we're getting to with that is that autistic people who can work and pay taxes are okay, and the others aren't. Fuck this shit.

What RFK is saying: "Autistic people can't work, so it's our duty as a society to erase autism" -> This is eugenics

Harmful response: "Many autistic people do work!" -> Validates the belief that that someone being unable to work is shameful and makes them a lesser person, and implies that autistic people should not need support

I am not exaggerating.

As of now, anybody can be disappeared, no due process, no recourse. Trump is openly disregarding a Supreme Court order and says he’ll send US citizens to El Salvador.

This is not a drill.

Call your House rep and tell them they must impeach. Tell them if they cannot bring themselves to impeach, they must resign. A more open and shut case to impeach is not possible. Trump and his administration are saying openly, in public, that anybody can be kidnapped by ICE, even in error, and disappeared permanently.

Call your senators, too, and tell them to support impeachment (it goes to them once it passes a majority House vote).

I am reaching out today to urge Representative ______ to call for the impeachment of President Trump due to his refusal to comply with the Supreme Court's April 10th decision regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was unlawfully deported and has been charged with no crime. As Justice Sotomayor stated, this inaction implies the government's ability to 'deport and incarcerate any person, including U.S. citizens, without legal consequence, so long as it does so before a court can intervene.' This precedent is unconstitutional, highly illegal, and grounds for impeachment. Every individual, regardless of immigration status, must be guaranteed a right to due process.

Representative _____, I urge you to stand on the right side of history today by calling for President Trump's impeachment. This administration can not be allowed to continue unilaterally defying the checks and balances that are intrinsic to our government."

Gonna start this with I am a Christian witch. I have been a non-denominational Christian my entire life and am not looking to change that.

I'm looking at witchcraft as a way to deepen my relationship with God, but I have no idea what I'm doing. I've been getting help from friends who are also witches, but they don't worship the same God I do.

I'm hoping someone who believes in the same God as I can help me out and point me in the right direction. Or just give some general advice. I know part of this is being stuck in an "old" way of thinking and I'd just really like some help.

I've done tarot reading, have and deck and all. And it's going really well. I'll continue in that direction. But spells and other things I am so hesitant on.

Witchcraft may not even be the thing I need to do! I know there's other magic out there, but some of the stuff online is confusing.

This post is not for everyone, just ignore if it doesn't speak to you. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, just be respectful.

This is for anyone who grew up in a religious home where they may have made you feel wrong for being drawn to Goddess or witchcraft. This book is a wonderful introduction to real historically accurate descriptions of the various scriptures. It outlines perfectly all the real meanings behind the very scripture they try to weaponize against us. It is cited quite well with much antiquity, so that nobody can claim that these woman made it up. Many times I found myself conflicted about my beliefs and the beliefs I grew up learning about, until I realized that it was all connected more then I'd ever imagined.

I hope that the true descriptions of the very scriptures that many throw at us to dehumanize us will bring some hope to anyone who also has the same conflict, and give you the courage to be your authentic witchy selves.

(Also, there is a wonderful community of people that have their arms wide open for anyone who enjoys sharing their practice with others, and they are incredibly accepting and supportive of each other.)
