The Southern Baptist Convention Is In Hot Water Over This Very Thing. Gd Old White Men That Think What

Saoirse Ronan and Timothee Chalamet did that.

just saw a post by a notorious low support needs autistic on insta that said “autism doesn’t make people violent!” (referring to a problematic show) and a bunch of level 1s agreeing with her. and let me just say -

YOU DON’T SUPPORT AUTISTICS IF YOU DON’T SUPPORT PEOPLE WHO HAVE VIOLENT MELTDOWNS.

i frequently have meltdowns where i will scream, hit, and throw fucking chairs at people i love because of sensory overload. it’s absolutely not okay and not an excuse for my behavior, however, while being autistic doesn’t make you inherently violent, autism can cause someone to exhibit violent behavior to themselves/others during meltdowns.

we are constantly forgetting those with higher support needs in this community and it really needs to fucking stop. you can’t just say a blanket statement like “autism doesn’t make you do (blank) because i don’t do it/it’s a problematic behavior/it’s a stereotype.” you don’t support autistics if you don’t recognize that some of us get violent meltdowns, period.

The Alaska scenes depicting the area around the abandoned bus on the Stampede Trail were filmed 50 miles south of where McCandless actually died, in the tiny town of Cantwell. (x)

Being able to do well in high school without having to put in much effort is actually a big disadvantage later in life.

In the past 24 hours, I have seen videos of police doing the following (part 2):

** Driving two SUVs through a street full of people. (X)

** Showing a white power sign. (X)

** Shouting "light 'em up!" and shooting at people standing on their own front porch, on a residential street. (X)

** Pulling down the mask of a man standing quietly with his hands up and pepper spraying him in the face. (X)

** Stopping a car of people (not even attending the protest) who were driving home shortly after the 9pm curfew, breaking their window, pepper spraying them, and tasing them. (X)

** Pepper spraying a child in the face. (X- video is of the immediate aftermath, of protesters trying to clear her eyes with milk and water)

** Walking up to a man who was sitting on the ground and kicking him. (X)

** Shooting multiple rounds of rubber bullets at a group of protesters in response to having water splashed on them (X)

** Shooting at a nurse who was helping a man who was bleeding from being shot with a rubber bullets. (X- video is of the nurse explaining what happened to a news crew, and then she runs off to help someone else across the street)

** Shooting an explosive device at a reporter during a live broadcast, as he was walking away from the police (X)

** Shoving an elderly man (walking with a cane) to the ground (X)

i think the difference between the barbie's treatment of ken's in barbieland vs the ken's treatment of barbie's in kendom can be summed up pretty easily actually:

barbie's ignored ken, realistically they were given an opportunity to have their own lives and do what they wanted and they didn't do it. everything revolved around their barbie's, ken would only have a good day if barbie did or if barbie acknowledged him. they never tried to do anything they genuinely wanted to.

whereas when the ken's took over, they brainwashed the barbie's into liking them and doing things for them. they would bring them beers and act like waitresses, give them foot massages or watch films they otherwise wouldn't be interested in. they became mindless and existed to serve the ken's. they were no longer just friends with the barbie's, they didn't want barbie to love them back, they wanted to own them.

people talking about ken falling down the patriarchy pipeline out of neglect or loneliness but why couldn't the ken's form friendships and communities like the barbie's did? why is it up to barbie to ensure that ken doesn't feel that way? at what point is it acceptable to blame barbie for ken's feelings? barbie let ken come to her party, watched him beach, held him whilst he went to the hospital, agreed to let him go on her journey, says hi to him when she sees him, things friends do and things she's shown doing with all the other barbie's, but if he still feels loneliness after that because she doesn't want to kiss him or doesn't love him back, why is that barbie's fault? meanwhile the entire time ken is ignoring other ken's out of his fixation on barbie and is even trying to "beach" other ken's off and causing problems with other ken's to gain barbie's attention

to me it's the perfect representation of the real world in the sense that women will leave men alone, men will want to own women, and women will be blamed for men's neglect and loneliness but it's a paper cage they create for themselves because they refuse to see women as individuals and arguably they don't actively try to create and nurture communities in the same way women do. ken's story is sad yes, but it's a story of his own design and what makes it worse is that he blames barbie for it. not himself, not mattel, no the real world but barbie, who's friendly disinterest in him means that she should be the one who is blamed and punished

Being autistic is being nine years old and wishing you had a best friend. Being sixteen years old and wishing you had a best friend. Being twenty five years old and wishing you had a best friend.
