I don’t know who needs to hear this but #amodestproposal and #themostdanherousgame weren’t suggestions. #medialiteracy #epsteinfiles

#tolkienscholars, just to clarify, Gandalfs characterization in the Hobbit is based on Odin, right? Or am I putting too much thought into this?

Which isn’t a lot, but it is concerning for Mr. Pascal

So I finally got around to Episode 2 of the Last of Us, season two. And I can officially say that I’d I had a nickel for every time Pedro Pascal was brutally murdered while a loved one watched on in horror in an HBO show, I’d have two nickels. #thelastofus #pedropascal #HBO

Mia waves to the reader: “Hi! I’m Mia, and I’m autistic! It means sometimes I find talking nad language difficult, even though I’m really good at writing my own songs. But sometimes neurotypical people aren’t so good at this kinda stuff either. And it means they can make some misconceptions about me. That’s why I want to explain what ‘autism spectrum’ actually means.”

Mia points to a line that is going from light to dark pink. On one end of the line is the words: ‘Not Autistic’, on the other end ‘Very Autistic’. “Sometimes when people think of the word ‘autism spectrum’ they think of something like this. A very linear looking ‘spectrum’ which suggests that people range from being ‘a little autistic’ to ‘very autistic’. Mia looks uncertain as she points to a drawing of herself where half of her is filled up with autism and the other half isn’t. “...Huh. I just don;t get it. If I’m just ‘a little autistic’, which part of me would that be? My feet? My eyes? I don’t think that’s how autism works!”

A big hand is holding Mia and trying to put her somewhere along this autism line. Mia says: “The problem with thinking of the spectrum in this way is that an autistic person becomes linear, too.” The hand says to Mia: “You’re only a little autistic, Mia.” Mia says back: “uuuh, c-could you elaborate please?” The hand replies: “you’re able to explain yourself pretty well and you act mostly NORMAL. You’re not SEVERELY autistic.” The hand pushes Mia towards a bunch of intense and scary looking words that are all muddled together. The words read: ‘new situations, smart tight clothing, too much noise, lack of routine, don’t stim, be more organised, don;t fidget, loadsa conversations all at once’ Mia says: “But you see, when someone thinks you’re only a ‘little autistic’, this can happen.” The hand says: “Mia, you can handle all these situations just fine, since you’re not THAT autistic”.

Mia starts to panic as she’s faced with all those scary noisy words. Some judgemental speech bubbles talk around her: “How can you be tired? Everyone does this every day, you’re just being lazy.” “Wow you’re being so overdramatic! Get over it!”

Happy #autismacceptancemonth !
Here's an old (like 10 years now lol) comic that explains the Autism Spectrum- still much needed, as I continue to see people- and most recently a book read out on bbc radio 4- think you're either 'mildly' or 'severely' autistic. Please give it a read 💖

I’m just going leave this here

a few years ago if you said "college republican clubs are hotbeds of white supremacism and enthusiastic support for rape" people looked at you like you were wearing a barrel on a street corner and if you said it today most people would still do that because the newspapers won't print it

Some of us are even like this IRL

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day. I bring this up because just a few days ago, a very powerful man made a very familiar gesture in a national stage. I like to think that when we say “never again,” we meant it for all. And now more than ever, we need stop the trajectory this world is on.
