The Book of Names lists each person murdered at Auschwitz

#and you have to remember how many names are most likely missing#from rushed trains and burned lists#from rushed transports and people who died on the death marchs#what about the names from people who died after their liberation#and then…#this is only Auschwitz#this was the biggest camp yes#but just one of many#and then remember sobibor and belsec#and try not to feel sick

27 january : International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

that was the best thing I have read in about 10 years.

so much emotions

This is my FAVOURITE THING

Been playing through Undertale for the first time on Switch recently and since it’s also spook month I had the idea for this dumb little parody animation of one of my favourite videos (x). Credit to the original artist, @brakken! Also up on Youtube.

THEY WORKED TOGETHER ON YYH!!!! THEY LEFT LITTLE NOTES FOR EACH OTHER IN THE MARGINS!

one of the [many] reasons autism goes undiagnosed is because autism is genetic and families are always more likely to notice traits that stand out. little Sam doesn’t like broccoli and flinches at loud noises and cries if you make him wear jeans but so does his dad and so does his dad’s mom, so obviously it can’t be that strange, right? nothing to worry about. and Karen can’t sit in quiet places and she fidgets constantly with her skin and she speaks so fast no one can understand her, just like her aunt and her mom, so it’s not a big deal, obviously. if you’re thinking about getting a diagnosis but keep telling yourself it’s ‘normal’ - it really isn’t, that may well just be your family.

THIS!!! So many times This!

This is why nobody in my family caught on to my neurodivergencies until I was a teen. I was just weird like my dad…

Kamilah Brock spent 8 days in a NY mental health facility because she owned a BMW 

Kamilah Brock, a former New York banker, has filled a suit against the city after she was detained for eight days in a mental health facility against her will. Brock says she was committed after trying to pick up her BMW, which skeptical police did not believe she owned. To add insult to injury, Brock was then charged a hefty sum by the hospital.

WHAT THE FUCK

WTF!!!!!!

She lost the case

Here’s the follow-up article as a link: L.I. woman who sued over nightmarish stay in Harlem Hospital psych ward loses lawsuit: ‘I’m crazy because of this verdict!’

She lost?! 

This was not the update I wanted on this case.

Here’s another article, from back when it first happened:

“In an effort to show the psychiatric staff that she did not require psychiatric hospitalization and that she did not belong there, Ms. Brock truthfully explained that she was a banker and that her Twitter account was followed by President Obama. The staff interpreted these statements as an indication that Ms. Brock was suffering from delusions. Part of her treatment involved being forced to “admit” that her career was a fabrication and that she had never interacted on Twitter with the President.“

coworker who sits next to me: [starts singing half-under his breath]

me internally: I should find some way to ask him, cordially and professionally, to stop that

me, inadvertently, in real life: [has started hissing while looking at him]

coworker: what’s up? You have a question?

me, aware that I have a weird tense grimacing expression and also unable to stop making the expression: no, uh –

me: [mental gears grind to a halt, including the brain module that was searching for diplomatic phrasing]

me: I want you to stop singing.

coworker: oh, okay!

It’s funny that we use skeletons as symbols of core human anatomy when our bones are just the scaffolding for something else.

everyone is deleting the caption to this but this work is called “perfect lovers” by the gay artist felix gonzalez-torres. the piece is about the illness and death of his HIV-positive partner ross laycock:

“Don’t be afraid of the clocks, they are our time, time has been so generous to us. We imprinted time with the sweet taste of victory. We conquered fate by meeting at a certain time in a certain space. We are a product of the time, therefore we give back credit where it is due: time. We are synchronized, now and forever. I love you.” (Gonzalez-Torres, 1988)

Me: yep

Me: sees trans man not binding and one in a dress

Me : nope!

You didn’t have to draw a trans man with boobs sis, thanks for the dysphoria babeey

if u get dysphoric when u see a boob that’s understandable but its also your problem to deal with n u don’t get to shame other trans dudes for drawing people like them with visible breasts. as much as it sucks, most trans men do have non flat chests and it’s not a bad thing to draw trans men with breasts (unless ur sexualising them, or ur drawing a real life trans man who’s dysphoric about his chest).

also u can’t have a go at op for drawing a trans man without a binder bc it makes u dysphoric n then call him sis. dont be a fuckin hypocrite dude.

anyways good post op

some trans men can’t bind for medical reasons. some don’t prefer to bind bc it’s uncomfortable, and hot, and sweaty!!! some trans men arent that bothered by chest dysphoria!

trans people are not required to attempt conformity to be valid in their identity. no one is required to try and “look cis”. that’s your own shit to deal with.

I don’t think this counts as dancing.  Or even skipping really.  It’s more of an exagerated waddle

So. Let me tell you about the day I took this video. It was the 1 year anniversary of my open heart surgery. It’s about a year old, and I’d say it’s pretty safe to say I’ve improved since then. In case you don’t agree, let’s take a look at some more at my exaggerated waddling.

Waddle.

Waddle waddle.

*rolls across the floor*

Clearly I am immobilized by my own mass.

Oh wait… that’s not it, is it? It sort of seems like the opposite. Almost as though the ability to dance is based on strength, effort and passion and not on being skinny. Strange concept I know, let’s see if you can wrap your tiny little mind around it. 

not to mention she wasnt waddling at all.. That was clearly a jete, chasse, and assemble.. not waddling. ballet…

Yo. Professional ballerina speaking here.

Clearly she is performing a saute arabesque, chasse, step-step, assemble devant with arms in fifth. 

And as a teacher too, I can’t find much technically wrong with it at all. 

Which means not only is she a gifted dancer, she has a wonderful technical foundation that she is executing properly and with lovely mannerism.

Being a ballerina isn’t about how much you weigh. Give me this girl ANY day for a student or dancer to work with. Clearly she has the knowledge and the passion, which means she will be a joy to work with. 

Also, for those of you criticizing, you clearly have NO idea how difficult it is to execute a develope ecarte derriere the way she is at the barre in one of her later photos. This takes YEARS of dedicated training, as well as extensive natural facility, such as turnout, which she clearly demonstrates here. 

So maybe before you peons thinking you’re masters of ballet judge dancers based on weight, you should actually learn about ballet and technique. Because if you had, you’d recognize that this girl clearly has technique—unlike your basic asses.
