on the whole issue of levels vs support needs…
I’m level two. you can probably tell I’m autistic after one conversation with me (or at least tell that something is up with me). I can’t mask, I stim constantly, and I have meltdowns roughly once or twice a week.
that being said, I am definitely low-mid support needs. I’m academically gifted, I’m good at a lot of “difficult” tasks, to the point that I’ve been called “high functioning” more than once.
however. I cannot do a lot of the more “basic” tasks. I need cues to remind me to eat, sleep, have a shower, etc etc. leaving the house makes me so exhausted that I can’t go out and then come home and cook dinner on the same day.
these things aren’t straight-forward. you can be in more than one category at once. your needs can fluctuate depending on other life factors. it’s okay if you don’t know where you fall on the support needs spectrum, or if it changes

Since yesterday was a post about young leftists I’d like to make an appreciation post for older leftists <3
This is to all the indigenous peoples who have been fighting against capitalism and colonialism for hundreds of years. To the adults teaching kids and teens in their area about direct action. This is to all the leftist theorists that gave us a basis to learn from, the activists that gave young people protections to keep fighting for equal rights, the teachers and speakers out there making leftist theory accessible, and the adults helping back youth led movements to keep kids safe.
To everyone past and present who has and is fighting for a better world, thank you!

can i get a #FatArt in the chat
Why would you say this
drug dealer but he sells drugs that make you feel the way you felt november 2020
i hope fat men who don’t exercise or who exercise very little or who exercise obsessively all have a good day and don’t feel ashamed of themselves and remember that exercise is supposed to be an act of self-care not an effort to reshape your body for other people’s satisfaction and your body needs rest just as much as it needs exercise and even if you know your body needs more exercise than it’s currently getting that is not a fault or a failure and you do not need to feel ashamed or guilty and you deserve a form of exercise that you actually enjoy. you don’t have to punish yourself for existing in your own body or for failing to perform “health” for other people

We talk a lot about autistic food avoidance like autistic people who are super picky eaters and need bland or uniformly textured food, but it can work in the other direction too. Some of us are sensory seeking when it comes to taste, and will eat plain raw onion, entire lemons (peel and all), drink hot sauce or eat entire packets of breath mints for lunch when left to our own devices. And it’s possible to be both too! I have some foods that are sensory nightmares for me, but many of the foods I do eat are extremely strong tasting (raw onion with horseradish my beloved). People often aren’t just sensory seeking or just sensory avoidant! Fuck diet culture, fuck anti autistic ableism, and let us eat a jar of pickled lemons!
apparently no one was paying attention in middle school language arts when we learned what a fucking protagonist was
