What‘s the connection to adhd ? I connect to this scenario veeery well and I don‘t have ADHD. Or maybe I have and just don‘t know ?
Difficulty modulating/ controlling our attention (which is an executive dysfunction issue so other conditions can experience it too).
When ADHDers have something coming up, its all we end up thinking about making it quite hard to do anything else.
This is one of my biggest struggles dkfbsjsv
Well also if you start doing something, you might end up forgetting about the world around you and/or not being able to switch to The Plans, so it’s safer to just wait for the time to come to do the planned things.
I made another comic
Godamnit this has me cr y in g
Me, thinking they’re hosing an emaciated child down the stairs: oh jesus…
Me, realizing it is in fact our lord and savior on the cross: oh, Jesus…
i should not be laughing about that note
Jesus has been naughty and he’s getting the hose
“Fuck #Ice shoutout to my Mexicans , pass this shit”
All the people in the notes saying “they aren’t protected by the Constitution,” know nothing of our laws and constitution. The Constitution does not state anywhere that it’s protections fall only on us citizens, ( in fact if states wanted they could open up voting for non-citizens ) and this is the opinion held by the supreme Court in multiple cases.

Hey! This is the link to the cards, a good resource for anyone who needs them or wants to provide them to their community. https://www.ilrc.org/red-cards
Hello everyone!!!
I have a thesis to do for my Bachelor’s degree and I would like to ask you lovely folks if you could fill it out!
It won’t take too long and it’s completely anonymus, but it is only for those whose native language isn’t English.
I would also appreciate it if you could share, if you filled it out, if you don’t have the time to fill it out yourself or if you can’t fill it out because your native language is English.
I would really appreciate it if as many as you could fill it out and thank you in advance!
One thing I worry about in society is how autistic people seem to be more at risk for getting in trouble for things they didn’t even do all because of not understanding the situation in the first place
For example: I remember one time I was shopping at a supermarket, and after paying, a staff member walked up to me, and without explaining why, asked me if they could look inside my bag. I was only aware they suspected me of shoplifting (which I hadn’t) because of a previous post I’d read about another autistic in a similar situation. Imagine if an autistic person, unaware of the hidden context, declined to let them look inside the bag. They’d already be deemed as suspicious when in reality, they just didn’t want someone to look inside
Another time I was about to go to a university party organised by the university itself. I was carrying an empty Coca-Cola bottle ONLY because I was drinking one beforehand, and couldn’t find a bin. Without warning, a staff member grabbed my empty bottle and took it away. At first I thought they were just being helpful until I saw the stern look on their face, and then I was confused (only later did I realise they might have thought I would refill it with alcohol later on or something). When I was unable to get in due to not having enough money, I had a shutdown due to the noise and confusion, and was then screamed at to get out despite the fact I did nothing wrong
This is the kind of thing autistic people have to deal with. Society has to learn to understand that just because a person isn’t reacting the way you expect, and seems “suspicious”, doesn’t mean they are. There’s a high chance they’re an autistic person who may not be fully understanding of the situation at hand, especially when the other person isn’t explicit about what’s going on
as a black autistic person this type of shit is so fucking dangerous and common for me
im already “suspicious” for being black and my autism makes other ppl see me as a direct threat
ive had white and non black allistic people threaten to call the cops on me for stimming inside stores, push me out of places bc “looking like i was casing the place” (no i just wear sunglasses constantly bc light is too much), ive been in situations where i had to pinch myself n make my inner palm bleed to make sure i wasnt being nonverbal to a cop that could just kill me for not responding 110% calm and nice or stimming bc “sudden movement” is dangerous coming from a black body, ive had other white autistics call me weird and suspicious for doing the same things they do bc they inherently see my blackness as something to watch out for
a lot of what “suspicious” is about is based on racist and ableist and as someone whos always gonna be getting the brunt of suspicion in society bc my blackness affects every aspect of how im treated, i think its important to bring up that white autistics are often going to be given the benifit of the doubt, offered empathy and shown more respect when dealing with the situation of doing something “wrong” in the eyes of allistic people
for a white autistic, not understanding/processing a situation makes you suspicious
but for black autistic people were always assumed a threat to the safety of others so things escalate pass suspicion very quickly
a cop may see a white or lightskinned autistic person having a meltdown in public and see the autism and still might harass u about it (bc acab) but they will bring more empathy to you durring that time
a cop might see me a black person having a meltdown in public and try to arrest me,might shoot at me bc they feel “threatened” might use excessive force bc i look “aggressive” or they have no patience for being nonverbal, might harass me bc i “look out of place”
this isnt just cops tho, its the whole damn world, ableism and antiblackness together is so terrifying and it kills
Least favorite trope: years of emotional neglect/abuse swept under the rug by one scene where a parent admits they loved their child all along. And their broken, traumatized victim adult child accepts this half-assed apology (and the audience should too) because the writers think that’s closure.
the stoned_thoughts.txt file has been reflecting the recent recurrence of my preoccupation with the gender wars: “popularity of rape-y romantic setups basically due to the ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’ effect: social plausible deniability in the face of forced monogamy, (plus maybe an inescapable erotic charge due to optimal flirting being a playfully combative dynamic, biologically?) such that a girl-coded person’s performative ‘oh NO! I’m so EMBARRASSED! Just LOOK at the SCANDALIZING LIBERTIES I have allowed you to take, you rogue’ attitude (pretty much epitomized by Han Solo kissing Princess Leia on Hoth over her protests that ‘I like nice men?’) was for *several generations* both before and after that iconic moment basically the surest way a dude/butch could tell that he was getting laid. It’s not a coincidence that rouge simulates blushing; embarrassment has been sexy (and highly feminine) for a long time now, and ‘flustered, but not unwilling’ is a narrow target to hit that necessarily involves pushing at boundaries in an insistent way. Even if both actors in the narrative are conniving to hit the same dramatic tone (the one that will allow them to bone with their social cred intact), the end improv dramatic scene will be rape-y.”
me and my friend jessie are physically incapable of having a normal fucking conversation so things happen where we accidently end up rping a dude bro trying to hit on me, an ordinary woman who is not a snake

your friendship is fucking amazing and should be treasured forever.
Hot take but polyamorous people are oppressed for their orientation (ok yeah not the right word but close enough, it’s certainly not a lifestyle choice for most people) and therefore are LGBT+ and yes I make the rules sorry not sorry
We don’t have marriage equality. We don’t have legal rights to our loved ones, or parental rights for our kids if raised outside of state approved relationships. We are routinely harassed and abused for being polyamorous if we are out. We suffer the mental harm of being in relationships that aren’t right for us if we aren’t out, or frequently even if we are. Who we are on a fundamental level is seen as something to be suppressed or negotiated on for the sake of a partner, but even thinking of expecting the same sacrifice from them is labelled abuse. Being polyamorous is used as a justification to rape us. Loving more than one person is labelled as child abuse. Like, this isn’t even a reach, this is a lot of the same shit others in the community face.
you know what, sure, let’s go with this.
Karen is a straight, cis woman. She has six male partners. She can marry at most one of those partners, which means that only one of her partners can visit her in the hospital if she gets sick, and only one of her partners can share finances and health insurance with her. If she has children, only one of her partners is legally considered to have any ties to the child; if she died, her other partners would not get custody, regardless of their ties to said child; her child is considered by many to be abused because Karen has multiple partners.
Conservatives consider Karen a degenerate who will burn in hell; many feel that she deserves to get an STI; many feel that her polyamory is a justification for raping her. Her parents may very well have disowned her for having multiple partners. She likely spent her adolescence and early adulthood in relationships that were not right for her, believing that asking for what she needs in a relationship was tantamount to abuse, believing that any relationship that would be right for her was morally wrong.
How is Karen queer? More like, How the hell is she not?
it’s really great how poly exclusionists see it like of these “if you think coming out as gay is hard try telling people you [do something they believe is entirely socially acceptable but also phrased in the weirdest way possible]” situations but have clearly never considered the logistics of coming out as poly
yall my world was just turned upside down i just found out the mongols used colors for directions and west was white and thats the best proposed theory for why belarus is called belarus ie white [west] russia
I’m guessing red and black are north and south?
HOLY SHIT??!??!??
This is like when you’re fighting but everyone is asleep so you have to stay quiet
“This is a MASSACRE. Surely there’s no revolution with out bloodshed but this can’t be normalized, the violence on Black bodies to add to the “hopeless African” image will not be tolerated. Sudanese people are not a hopeless people. We are a resilient people, a determined people, we persevere and we fight and we continue to show up no matter the conditions, but the support from the outside world right now is necessary.” Ladin Awad
