you can’t support autistic people and support the police. No amount of paint jobs or sensitivity training can stop police from killing with impunity
And fuck the jigsaw puzzle imagery advanced by the eugenicists at Autism Speaks. We’re not a “puzzle” to be “solved“
Half of all people killed by cops have a disability, because cops aren’t trained to recognize or deal with people with disabilities and very few places have people who are trained for those situations easily accessible during emergencies. So the cops come in and do what they’re paid to do - murder anyone who’s inconvenient to the state
an angel on letterboxd just dropped a whole playlist of films free on youtube I was filled with so much love and light I had to share with you guys
it also includes short films, animated movies, documentaries of every genre, full recordings of live performances. all spanning different decades from different countries. YOU DONT EVEN FUCKING KNOW
Oh wow so me saying "no government documentation should ever include a gender marker for any reason" has been right all along. For exactly the reason I stated when people were giving me shit for not supporting x markers on documents.
keep thinking about how I wrote in my dissertation about how every time a new form of public/social space emerges it's immediately popular with kids and teenagers who see it as a chance at freedom and then adults colonise it and kick them out. this happened with malls in the 80s and diners in the 50s and pool halls in the 20s. my dad was doing research on this trend in like 1975. and I was like "yeah so this is going to happen to the internet" and then five years later every government suddenly decided to ban kids from everywhere online. I hate being right especially when I don't even get paid for it
The US tortured a chinese scientist to death and the media calls it "hostile questioning"
His name is Danhao Wang and he was murdered on March 19, 2026.
“On March 19, at approximately 11:00 p.m., officers from the University of Michigan Police Department responded to a report of a subject who fell inside the George G. Brown Building,” the statement read. “A faculty research assistant was found after falling from an upper level and was later pronounced deceased.”
Lin Jian, spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that the U-M researcher died by suicide after U.S. law enforcement interrogated him, urging the U.S. to conduct a full investigation.
Wang worked in the lab of Zetian Mi, an electrical and computer engineering professor. Engineering Dean Karen Thole wrote in an email Friday that Wang played a major role in research breakthroughs at the University of Michigan, and the community is mourning his death.
“Dr. Wang was a promising and brilliant young mind, whose research into wide bandgap III-nitride semiconductor materials and devices published in Nature stands as a landmark, uncovering for the first time the switching and charge compensation mechanisms of emerging ferroelectric nitrides,” Thole wrote. “His loss is felt deeply not only by those who knew him here at the University, but also everyone who understands his potential to have contributed to breakthroughs in science that would have positively impacted people around the world.”
"Suicide by throwing himself down the stairs." Cops love that one.
Holy shit this is. Well. This is quite a perspective shift. It's easy to forget how slow global social progress is in this era of rapidly changing cultural niches.
39 out of 200ish countries recognize same sex marriage, and the number is slowly going up at a rate of roughly 2 per year.
That's 1% per year. The world is improving at a rate of 1% per year. That's the real speed of social progress. It's not nothing, but it is painfully slow for us here in a world made up of social media.
why can rockstar games institutionalise you for life like nikita kruschev for being autistic
He didn't steal 10 million dollars. They made that number up as a loss, they never fucking had it. Rockstar has spent more than a billion fucking dollars on GTA VI and will likely make billions more when it gets released.
Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.
Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion. This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.
And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?
Capitalism is disgusting.
Nobody should buy GTA til they free Arion Kurtaj

he didn't even get to stand *trial*. because he's autistic. he's in an institution for life for hacking while autistic, without trial.
So for those of us definitely planning on seeing this in theaters we can all agree not to spoil this right?? Everyone else is gonna have to wait two whole weeks without getting spoiled but I think if a collective amount of us agreed the amount of spoilers on the internet won’t be a lot!
Also congrats Goose and Glitch for this HUGE achievement!!
Edit: someone mentioned that tumblr is pretty good at keeping spoilers away and that’s a good point! if you can we should bring awareness and ask people to not spoil on other platforms (IN A POLITE AND NONTHREATENING WAY PLEASE!! /srs)

The person who smiled at you when you walked into a store. The little kid who looks up to you. The person who randomly complimented you.

moth-melancholyReblogged hagesunnivaApr 5biokittyApr 5FollowI just think it's so ironic that I work in a field where informed consent is such a big deal, but the patients very often do not have informed consent when they actually get pregnant. And yet by the time they see me it's like, well...the baby has to come out somehow and it turns out, there's no good option! Everything has risks and you didn't know you were consenting to these risks when you got pregnant and chose to continue your pregnancy 9 months ago but here we are. We don't teach women and girls about their bodies or childbirth or pregnancy. We don't talk about the inherent risks of pregnancy or that it will probably worsen all of your chronic medical conditions as it goes on, a lot of which will never improve afterward. We don't tell people that if you have kidney disease, you might end up permanently on dialysis after a pregnancy or if you have pulmonary hypertension (a disease we don't screen for) you have a 40% chance of dying during pregnancy which is why it is an absolute contraindication to pregnancy but you wouldn't really know you have it until you're pregnant and become symptomatic in the 2nd trimester. We don't teach you that your perineum might tear so much that you have fecal incontinence for the rest of your life. And I wanna be clear: that's by design. If patients actually knew the risks that come with pregnancy, even pregnancies considered "low risk", humans would probably die off in a few generations. I am not exaggerating. I work in a field where informed consent is kind of the ONLY thing that matters at the end of the day when it comes to the treatment plans I make with patients and the procedures I perform. But my patients don't get the luxury of having informed consent before they get to me and it no longer matters if you're a horrific surgical candidate who would NEVER be offered a surgery in any other specialty due to medical comorbidities, I still have to do your c-section, that baby has to come out somehow. I do think a lot of patients might choose things differently if they knew there's a decent chance they could end up with anal incontinence and on dialysis for life or that they code during their c-section because they had pulmonary hypertension and didn't know. But there are people in this country and world who are really invested in ensuring women do not know the true risks of pregnancy. They REALLY don't want you to know that women over the age of 40 have a maternal mortality rate double that of black women in this country. What's more is they don't want you to be able to even choose when you get pregnant because they want to take away your most efficacious forms of birth control. And the most insulting part? Is that they're doing that by using social media influencers who have chosen to act as brood mares for their husbands tell you how dangerous hormonal birth control methods are while totally ignoring that every single risk associated with hormonal birth control is significantly higher in pregnancy so that you willingly choose to forgo birth control out of fear, potentially unknowingly committing yourself to high risk pregnancies.83111

The problem is that we think 40 hour work weeks are an unavoidable fact of life. The problem is that everyone has to work 8 hours, pretty much no exceptions, and with getting ready time + (unpaid) lunch + commute, “8 hours” is actually anywhere between 9 and 12, every single day, with more work to do when you get home because our society and culture was built around having one member of the household home full time and nothing has changed now that almost everyone works. No wonder Americans are reliant on DoorDash and fast food, there’s no time or energy to cook. No one wonder mental and physical health are in shambles, many just spent all day sitting in fluorescent lights with little to no stimulation. “Just wake up earlier” “Just meal prep”… these are ok short-term, individual solutions, but the broader, systemic issue is obvious. We aren’t built for this. There’s no work-life balance. Genuinely, I think if our culture could normalize a shorter work week, many individuals’ biggest problems would simply evaporate. broken-horn-of-equiusOct 13, 20257428,98235,490
