Nobody needs to keep a bunch of memories that aren't real, right?

Things to know before April comes

#1: Autism is not a dangerous disease that needs to be cured!

#2: Autism speaks is a bad organisation that doesn’t listen to autistic people and portrays autism as a horrible disease.

#3: Most autistic people don’t want a cure.

#4: Vaccines don’t cause autism!

#5 Based on how autism works, ‘curing’ it in a live person is virtually impossible

#6 most “cures” for autism revolve around eugenics, i.e. Making sure we’re never born in the first place

#7 avoid using “functioning labels.” High-functioning is used to deny us support, low-functioning is used to deny us agency. This also goes for “mild” and “severe” autism.

#8 Forcing autistic people to behave in a way acceptable to neurotypicals that’s unnatural and often painful for us and punishing us when we don’t (often physically) is abusive. Let us be autistic in peace.

#9 if you’re looking for a good Autism-based organization to support, try Autistic Self Advocacy Network instead!

MASS DEATH IS IMMINENT IN GAZA

The U.N. warns that 1.1 million Palestinians are at imminent risk of death, as the crushing toll of the siege reaches its lethal and final stages. In North Gaza particularly, there is little time left before hundreds of thousands of people will die of hunger.

Time is almost up for over a million people. The US and its allies bear full responsibility for what can only be described as an impending holocaust. Without an immediate change of course that includes the provision of mass amounts of aid into Gaza and sanctioning Israel, mass death from starvation is a guarantee.

It is extremely important that this isn't just "more of the same" here. They're out of food, it is getting worse. Integrated Food Security Phase Classification is an organization for studying food insecurity, and they have a scale for how bad food insecurity is. Gaza has BEEN in phase 4 for a long time now, and that's already what is called "emergency". Its bad. But they only now have been upgraded to phase 5, outright famine.

Gaza is the only place in the world to have this level of food insecurity right now.

This isn't "more on-going cruelty" like I have heard from so many. This has changed to "no, this community is currently collapsing, and will completely die out if we do not do something NOW to at least take them from 'dying' to 'starving'". This is acute food insecurity on an unimaginable and unsurvivable scale. Contact whoever you need to immediately, because it literally does not get worse. This is the part where the genocide could fucking its goals if you do not do something to spurn your government into action.
