autism god

As a reminder, he's suing Caroline Wallner, one of his accusers, for breaking her NDA. Not for libel. He's saying she shouldn't have told anyone about it, not that she lied.

He doesn't need the money. He's risking the Streisand effect. He is punishing Caroline, he's trying to intimidate other victims who have signed NDAs to scare them into continued silence.

He is no friend to women, to the LGBTQIA+ community, to anyone quite frankly unless he thinks they are of value to him.

i just made a post about harm reduction and i want it to be very clear that this was said because i love addicts. i do not and will not ever buy the lie that an addict’s worth comes from their hypothetical ability to get clean. people who agree with the above sentiment on general disability and not this are fucked up to me! your politics lack coherency and i think i can guess why!

here’s the thing: whenever i think about what i want for the addicts i know and love the ever-nebulously defined concept of sobriety doesn’t even breach the top 10 things i want for them! i want addicts to be safe. i want addicts to be housed. i want addicts to be free, cared for, well. i want their physical and mental wellness. i want them respected. i want them to have autonomy over their lives just as much as i want them to be safeguarded, and i want conversations to be had about the immense nuance of that! i want conversations to be had with them and not just about them! i want them to have access to care!! i want them to have access to every harm reduction measure they could ever yearn for. i want them to be treated with dignity. i want them to be listened to. i want them to be seen. i want you personally to see them, to look them in the eyes. i want addicts to be loved and i want you personally to love them.

i am aware that sobriety is a privilege that often helps afford people the above, but anyone who knows anything about addiction knows that recovery needs to be a choice. a choice that’s made in response to the metaphorical gunpoint that is the inhumane conditions under which severe addiction is criminalised in our society is often not a choice made in earnest!! it can be a motivator, sure, but so can a lot of other things! if you tell a population of homeless addicts that they can not stay the night at your shelter unless they abstain while they’re there then you will you will force some of them to spend that night sleeping rough. now let’s think about the above again. hmmmm…..
