You’re also a good weapons valet. What does that mean? Well, I think it means you carry my weapons in your backpack and you give them to me when and if I need them.

So now we're talking about fair pay and residuals for actors and writers can we start talking about fairer pay and streaming residuals for musicians. Particularly smaller musicians who are locked in unfair contracts and have no control over the licencing and usage of their music. And session artists who work for one day and receive no residuals, no matter how much revenue the music they created generates. And local "booking agents" who capitalise on the market while giving their artists almost none of the money from their ticket sales.

can our next mental illness symptom advocacy be for people whose symptoms make them aloof and detached and not emotionally expressive or scared of intimacy and vulnerability cause some of y’all really like to make fun of that shit and as an autistic schizoid I’m fucking tired of it. not being able to feel and express emotions genuinely or be vulnerable with others is exhausting and difficult and is way more complex than like toxic repressed “too cool for everyone” male bullshit you treat it as in your jokes.
hey fun fact did you know that if you're on the schizophrenia spectrum, have psychosis, have psychotic symptoms or traits, etc, that you're loved and your symptoms and traits should not be vilainized or seen as evil or ugly?
this disability pride month, i ask that you include OCD on your mental illness positivity posts. for some reason we are rarely included in those. much love to all my OCD homies
people really love using psychotic disorders as a joke or trope or plot point in fiction, but even other mentally ill people are just fine with stigmatising psychosis. i’ve heard so many stories of psychotic ppl being in psych wards and fellow patients have said "at least i’m not crazy" or "before coming here, i thought all ppl in a psych ward would be weird and insane". of course, they inevitably slip up and say it to someone who they don’t realise has psychosis. when ppl watch tv and laugh at the "crazy", "nonsensical", "strange" character… what they never seem to think about is that someone else in the room might be psychotic and too afraid and upset to speak up. and then there’s all the times where you call someone you don’t like "delusional" or "psychotic" because to *you* it means stupid and evil. to psychotic people it means that their loved ones are scared of them or hate them.
just think before you speak. and no, you probably wouldn’t know whether or not someone has experienced psychosis. so don’t assume.
With love and patience, I need folks to please set aside some time to get better at recognizing antisemitic dogwhistles.
I'm using the following as an example, but intentionally not singling out the person who put this on my dash, cause I'm talking about a broader issue, and I want everybody to self examine.
Okay. this ended up on my dash, a comment in a thread.
"noticing" is a dogwhistle for an antisemitic conspiracy theory.
let's look at the profile:
^ "queen of white." gonna say that's a pretty big red flag for white supremacy.
we haven't even started looking through the blog yet, this is just the post & blog title.
if you go looking on the blog, pretty quickly you find this user is also reblogging from other white supremacists
if you scroll for about ~2 minutes you start seeing her use extremely loaded incendiary and derogatory language about trans women
finally, if you search "white" you see blatant nazi posting.
if you spend a little time familiarizing yourself with antisemitic dogwhistles, you will save time because you won't need to look through blogs to check, you will see "noticing" in that context and you will already know this is a nazi.
antisemitism is often one of the easiest ways for fascists to get their messaging to spread widely because very few people take the time to learn these dogwhistles, and a lot of people respond to Jewish people patiently pointing them out over and over again with some level of disbelief/resentment/hostility.
it is to everyone's benefit, for everyone's collective safety, for you to familiarize yourself with antisemitic dogwhistles.
I am once again recommending the alt right glossary on rationalwiki. It doesn't cover everything, but it's a good place to start when it comes to familiarising yourself with dogwhistles like this.
Fair warning though, they show examples of incredibly bigoted language, memes, and caricatures, so if that's something that might negatively affect you, tread carefully.
