Hey, If Bullied For Being Autistic, In The Way That You Were ‘too’ Trusting Or ‘too’ Gullible

(Reposting this because I found an error lol...) Happy new year!

i just saw a post on reddit titled "the writer is cooking but the food doesn't agree with me" and it was about OP clicking off a fic because they don't like the direction it's going in. slightly different context but can we all be more like this reddit OP. i think "the writer is cooking but the food doesn't agree with me" should be the new "don't like don't read." dead doves may give you diarrhea but don't make that everyone else's problem.

we've made it so far and i'm proud of this weird horse <3

If you've ever wondered why people in Hawai'i hate tourists, try to wrap your mind around the fact that there are CURRENTLY, RIGHT NOW, tourists sipping martinis and looking at fish within swimming range of the fresh corpses of local people who couldn't escape the overnight destruction of their entire town.

Try to comprehend that there are fully functional, high capacity boats passing through the waters in front of an area full of survivors who are stranded and in need of supplies, refusing to help. They are hosting snorkeling tours.

Really think about, try your best to actually picture over two thousand people unhoused and in need of shelter, with nothing but the clothes on their backs and nothing to return to. Understand that the island, stolen land, is littered with hotels full of air conditioned of rooms with beds and showers and toilets, each fully equipped to host hundreds of families for weeks, turning these people away because they're booked up with tourists who refuse to leave.

And understand that these tourists were offered free transport to return home or be hosted on other islands. Free. Courtesy of local tax dollars. 4,000 wealthy tourists were offered free flights shelter on Oahu and begged to leave the island, BEFORE the survivors were given shelter.

And enough still insisted on remaining and carrying out their vacations that people are left without shelter and resources while they enjoy "their stay in paradise".

[Edit]: This current situation, and this type of tourist behavior is horrifying beyond words. In other circumstances, the tourism situation is much more complicated, and I need to ask that people do not add on to this post unless they are local.

Don't vent to Pinkie Pie

There is no $700 dollar cap on assistance for those needing help in Maui. That is a lie. The head of FEMA never said that the residents of Maui shouldn’t be expecting any more financial assistance. That is also a lie.

Please beware of people spreading disinformation about Maui relief. These kind of lies usually come from Republicans, but be aware that pro-Russian, anti-Ukrainian “leftists” (aka tankies) will often spread the same, easily disproven lies and talking points — because the goal of sowing distrust is a shared one.

Republicans and tankies have no qualms about using the people of Maui’s suffering to push their agendas.
