DO I SEEM ANXIOUS TO YOU?
DO I SEEM BACKED INTO A CORNER?
I need non autistic people to realise meltdowns are a real debilitating thing that has a serious effect on your mental and physical health NOWWWWW!!! The way its been trivialized and lessened pisses me the fuck off. It's not a tantrum and it doesn't come from "being too weak-willed" it's painful and it's embarrassing AND MOST OF ALL IT'S INVOLUNTARY!! Don't claim to be an ally to autistic or disabled people and then make fun of people who have meltdowns. Literally get the hell out of my sight
"autistic people are fine as long as they don't have meltdowns and aren't weird And aren't annoying and only like the things I like but don't like them in a weird way and don't talk or carry themselves in an unconventional way and only stim in a way I deem acceptable if I allow them to stim at all (stimming is cringe if you only do the hand flaps but the hand flaps are the only acceptable one) and don't make it obvious that they're autistic"<- what these people fucking sound like
an interesting take on this from matt braly, creator of amphibia
Imagine being a business that has managed to get THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE, and you've managed to make it so this is a bad thing.
You did it. That's late stage capitalism in one sentence.
#COMPANIES SHOULDNT BE DOING WHATEVER THE STAKEHOLDERS WANT#WORK CONDITIONS SHOULD BE GOOD AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SHOULD BE GOOD#FUCK STAKEHOLDERS
Unfortunately if the company fucks stakeholders, they pull out and the company dies. The problem is fundamental to the system.
I hope nintendo makes more games named after a complex emotion like metroid dread or mario wonder. I wanna play donkey kong ennui and fire emblem contempt
What kills me is 3 out of the four are sticking to the bit and the last one is playing 4d chess on em with the concepts
I fucking hate this "capitalism is when you make money, the more money you make, the more capitalism it is" mindset people have gotten. No, an artist selling their own work is not them engaging in capitalism, it's literally a worker owning their own means of production.
Remember capitalism is someone profiting off of someone else's labor though owning capital. It is not simply the act of profiting at all.
Same when people blame 'capitalism' for stuff that's like... commerce. And issues with commerce that have existed longer than capitalism has. We've been trading for a lot longer than we've had capitalism.
Idk man it’s so easy to get bogged down in all the bullshit online but when my then-6 year old cousin found out I was trans he said “ok” then corrected my grandma when she misgendered me. I was once the third between a gay man and a lesbian. Two lesbians once invited me back to their place when I presented as a man. I met an AMAB nb butch who looked strikingly to outsiders like a cis man and it was one of the more sapphic experiences I’ve had. I nervously wore a boydyke shirt to pride and got 3 different cis-looking femme folks tell me they loved my shirt. I once told a trans group at a protest that any pronouns were fine for me and one person said “wow, I’m impressed and intimidated by people like that. I don’t know that I could be that chill with pronouns.” I once told a GNC friend I wished I could wear a type of “opposite” gender clothing after I had already transitioned and so it would be associated with my AGAB and he said “You could just do it.” I’ve had cishet men fight cops for me before. The first time I had a doctor ask me if my name was different than what was on my forms I had to try not to cry. Last week, a phone call with a doctor’s office where I am generally cis passing asked unprompted if my name listed is what I want to be called. It touched me then too. I told a lesbian friend once I felt like my attraction to men AND women both felt gay. She said “makes sense.” And we moved on. I go by different pronouns in different circles. I’ve had gay women love my facial hair. I’ve had gay men like my tits. It’s all out there, I promise. It can be hard to find it but I promise there is community like you and community who likes you. And it’s more messy and beautiful than tumblr discourse makes it out to be.
