Recently A Couple Of The Autistic Kids I Work With Have Inspired Me With Openly, Unapologetically Owning

Recently a couple of the autistic kids I work with have inspired me with openly, unapologetically owning it.

Like one kid saying “if I don’t make eye contact it’s because I find that hard and it’s easier to concentrate on what you’re saying if I’m not looking at you.”

And another one asking for clarification of an ambiguous statement to check understanding instead of just hoping for the best.

And one saying “I’m going to stim now, this conversation is hard”

I have so much respect for them for being able to voice those things! It’s inspired me to try harder to do that instead of masking until I meltdown because I’m so scared of how people will react.

But I Would Actually Be Fine Being Stuck In A Luxurious 20 Million Dollar Mansion With A Large Pool,

But I would actually be fine being stuck in a luxurious 20 million dollar mansion with a large pool, a tennis court and an elaborate garden maze for months on end.

It’s like when that prosecutor argued against house arrest for Felicity Huffman and showed a picture of her massive house: “Not being allowed to leave here is a punishment!?”

People are really looking at decreased emissions and clear water and wildlife and saying “This is what the planet would be like if all those humans weren’t ruining it” no, you fuckhead, all the humans are still here, the thing that’s changed is the reduction of overconsumption and overwork that our current system of cronyism and unchecked capitalism demands. If you really think the solution is to remove humans so you can just keep consuming but with less consequences, you’re not just a eugenicist, an ecofascist, and a shitty person overall, you’re fucking stupid. 

Killing off a portion of the population to prop up a poorly designed economy is not, and will never be, a solution. The economy is for the people, not the other way around. If you need to sacrifice people to keep it running, it’s fundamentally failed.

I'm kinda meh about roof gardens/ grass roofs bc they can accumulate a lot of weight and collapse/ cause leaks

But living walls? Mighty sexy

I'm Kinda Meh About Roof Gardens/ Grass Roofs Bc They Can Accumulate A Lot Of Weight And Collapse/ Cause

They provide natural insulation, which not only keeps the heat in during cold days, but keeps the heat out during hot ones. It's better planned and maintained than vines (depending on the plant ofc).

Flooding in urban areas can be reduced since the roots and the growing medium will hold in moisture. Air can be purified, and heat can be reduced because of evaporation.

I just love living walls

I know ya'll dont really care about politics if its not USA stuff but the world should know that Lopez Obrador, Mexico's president has said on national tv that he wants to close down the INE (the national electoral institute) claiming that it's a waste of national resources, by that he means money. The INE organizes the electoral processes and guarantees the exercise of electoral rights. It is where you register to vote, it is where you go to vote. This man has publicly stated that he thinks democracy is a waste of money and he wants to shut down the organization that guarantees us that right. Our rights are in jeopardy right now. They have been threatened. And I dont see people talking about it. Not even mexicans, and its worrying.

"Omg now that Johnny won no one would believe women -"

Imma stop you right there and now. No, you do not have Johnny to blame, you have AMBER for lying and abusing someone, to blame if nobody believes women. As someone who's watched my mother, my aunt, my uncle, my sister and myself, fall into the hands of abusers and watched them get away with it, I'm glad Johnny won, because no one woud say "Oh no he's a kind man he can't be abusive" or "she's just a woman she cannot be abusive" anymore. Johnny stuck out his neck for every Abuse victim and won for us. Amber used society's view to try and hide her lies. As someone who's followed the trial from 2016 (you can imagine how young I was back then) to 2022, you can never, ever tell me, with every evidence out there placed for the world to see that Amber isn't an abuser. We all know the first trial in the UK was unfair because the Sun was hiding the truth, even refusing any of his evidence because the relative of the judge wrote the headlines. The US Virginia court let both have their say and Amber exposed herself.

Maybe now I have hope that when I put out my evidence no one will silence me like what Amber tried to do with Johnny again. This gave me hope because as long as I say the truth I have nothing to fear.

And if you choose to hate on the women that spoke in defence of Johnny Depp, you ARE the one who doesn't like women. You only care about your own narrative of 'feminism' which is supporting and using misogynistic and archaic ways of thinking when it caters to your case, like pretending women cannot be shitty people too. In this case, Amber had the power because media bent to her will and Johnny had nothing left but evidence and the support of his lawyers and fans.

And fuck NBC and their shitty takes on this case btw.
