Ableists like to label you as what you’re worth to them.

This is very very true. The idea of high or low “functioning” simply means “able to function as a neurotypical.” It’s “how well do we blend in?” and not “how able are we to live our lives and/or be happy?

[id: screenshot of a tweet by asharah saraswati /@art_twink that reads: “there is no “high-functioning” or “low-functioning” autism. Those ideas came from eugenics. call it what it is - capable of producing capitalistic value or not. Now you’re addressing the way society values human life, not creating a false dichotomy that devalues it further” /end]

Swedish has the delightfully opaque expression “skita I det blå skåpet”, literally “to shit in the blue cabinet”, meaning to badly screw something up.

I submit “and now we all have to live in a blender” as a similarly specific English expression of horror at how badly something has gone.

^^^ I'm using both of these phrases for the rest of my life now.

In light of JK’s new book, here’s a link to donate to the UK Charity Mermaids who help provide support to trans and gender diverse children and young people!

And here’s a link to the trans rights carrd and the black trans lives matter carrd!! Even if you can’t donate signing petitions can do a lot of good!

Love you all, especially my beautiful trans and non binary followers out there! Keep being the most incredible souls! 💕💖💕💖

after some more research, it seems genderedintelligence is the best place to donate

Yes! I’ve had people reaching out to me saying the same and I’ve been reblogging everyone who’s linking genderedintelligence to boost! It’s definitely best to support a charity run by trans people!

Friendly reminder that there are 750 Quileute. Seven Hundred and Fifty. Think. For reference- how big was your middle school? (around that, maybe?) I think we tend not to understand how personal their inclusion in Twilight was. Smeyer took advantage of them. She's rich off of them and their culture. She exploited and misrepresented them. Seven hundred and fifty people. She could look each one of them in the eye and apologize in one afternoon and instead, she sits on 125 million dollars as if her hands are tied.

She could move their whole school out of the tsunami zone if she wanted to.
