@narwhalhatblues
hey. my "make it make sense" vice says I did stay. I just switched accounts, because I was scared and ashamed to be who I am. If it were easy to make this account make sense, I wouldn't be here writing this. I need your help.
If you want to find me, go to @vicesignal and lead me back home.
If you want to find me, you probably have other options, too.

“I'm sorry that we have a society that doesn't provide adequate support to people like you. I'm sorry our justice system is not oriented toward the needs of victims.” What I need is people to do things like that behind fucking bars so no one else has to experience it. What I need is a justice system that brings people who do those things to justice. Not to let them roam free and hurt people again and again and again. What is keeping those men you’re talking about from doing it again? From taking someone else’s livelihood away? Nothing.
Call me crazy, but I don't think prisoners deserve to be raped either.
What you refer to as justice is actually punitive justice, which is what we have now. The idea behind punitive justice is that punishment = justice. It's "an eye for an eye," the idea that the way to repay a victim for a crime is to create equivalent harm to the perpetrator. Except, I'm sorry to say, seeing another person suffer has never cured PTSD. Seeing someone suffer has never undone suffering that already occurred.
Reparative justice is victim-centered. It asks "what actions would create the best outcomes for the victim and would prevent others from being similarly victimized?" It provides mental health resources and other monetary support to people recovering from trauma. It looks for systemic issues that allowed the crime to occur - is an abusive environment being fostered? Are there oversights not being properly maintained? How did we as a society fail these people? It determines the best course for rehabilitation for the perpetrator, how to keep them away from potential victims. It is not "let them roam free and keep hurting people," but it's also not needlessly cruel for the sake of punishment, because punishment is not the point and because subjecting perpetrators to trauma makes them more dangerous, not less.
Again, I'm sorry you're feeling so bad today that you feel the need to lash out at others. Most people who do harm to others are in pain, but that doesn't make the harm okay. Please reconsider the way that you are projecting your pain into the world. It may feel gratifying in the moment, but ultimately it makes you feel worse.

10 hours of artillery bombardment and machine gun fire to help you sleep
When I was outside, I noticed that it was cool. Another time, I noticed that it was warm. Sometimes it is lighter or darker outside as well.
Experience those changes enough times and you’ll start to develop a habit of expecting order from what is a contingent flux of impressions
have some shitty chaotic pride flags ^^
check out the rest of the flags on my profile since tumblr has a 10 image limit lol as well as the fixed versions of a few of these cuz I’m big dumb
Personal addition cuz I made this last year
Okay so I saw your last ask and response, and I'm just a bit confused. I'm on the spectrum, but I often pass as NT in public. I am also a BHT practicing ABA as a job. I really don't understand how it's abusive, at least the way my oralganization practices it. We never withhold necessary things from our kids, we never punish them for behaviors (instead we do positive reinforcement for good behaviors), and we view all behaviors as good behaviors as long as they are safe and functional (we don't push the kids to stop doing vocal stereotypy or other stimming stuff, for example, but we do encourage them to vocalize their excitement/distress as well as stimming.) We advocate for out kids needs in classrooms and such so they can take breaks when needed. Idk, I just don't see how ABA is inherently abusive.
Here's some readings for you:
Through the guise of play, I often contrived stressful and frustrating situations and placed consistent demands on very small children. For
Evidence of increased PTSD symptoms in autistics exposed to applied behavior analysis - Author: Henny Kupferstein
And this thread from a former ABA instructor: https://www.reddit.com/r/AMA/comments/5i2jza/i_am_a_former_aba_applied_behavior_analysis/
As well as all the references also on this subject in my book. ABA is abusive because it is behavioral conditioning designed to make a child mask. That is inherently a psychologically ravaging endeavor that makes children more like to be sexually assaulted and exploited in the future, and to develop PTSD.
Whether a child in ABA is being conditioned with hot sauce on the tongue, electric shocks, or social isolation (which does register to the central nervous system in the same way as pain!!), it does irreparable harm to teach a child that their natural way of being is wrong, and to blame for their exclusion in society.
ABA was founded by the same person who created anti-gay conversion therapy, and it serves the same purpose: to condition the socially excluded to conform rather than to challenge or question their exclusion. And in Autistic people, as well as gay people, forcing someone to pretend to be a person they are not results in depression, anxiety, profound shame, substance abuse and self harm, existential meaninglessness, and even death.

Quietly recalling the heyday of “Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism”
Though in memory, it was simply “gay space communism.” I fact checked.

Video description: a child in pajamas is laying on top of several low shelves, which are covered in a mat and blanket. It is situated in front of a window front, and the sun shines through. There are seven cats in various positions on top of the child, one of them resting between their arms. Extremely loud purring is audible. End video description
