best thing tumblr ever did for me is the term "rotating it in my mind". it's really true that sometimes you think about something real hard but you can't tell what the thoughts are exactly. it's revolutionary stuff, i might even say

sometimes the subject of your thoughts is just in this thing

Ah, there it is!

The TUMBLER!

Cannot believe I am seeing people getting their tits bent out of joint about a man taking his daughter into a women's room. That shit was like, completely normal when I was a kid. We really have taken a flying leap backwards as a society into the Cootie Zone

"Men don't belong in the women's room" is in fact a subordinate social imperative to "children should be kept an eye on so they don't get hurt" and especially when you're talking about a toddler, most men's rooms don't have changing stations or suchlike. Morons

It should really not go without comment that afaik this is a black man taking care of his daughter, racism is a factor in people making a big stink about this and I'm not really gonna let the ~daughters of the witches you couldn't burn~ forget that their actual grandmothers probably got pissy about integrated washrooms

i dont need a 7:56 long video to know the answer i understand the answer like in my soul. we’ve all been in a position where we wanted to paint the same haystacks 25 times it’s literally normal

A room called ‘The Doll Room’ that’s full of dolls is… mundane.

But a room called ‘The Doll Room’ that only has one doll in it? That’s fresh

If a person shows you their Doll Room and it’s full of dolls, they probably just like dolls, y’know? It’s normal, it’s a hobby

But if they show you their Doll Room and it only has one doll… something’s going on with that one doll!

Not infantilizing autistic people is incredibly important, but autistic people having their needs met, even if they are different than yours, is not infantilization. When you make statements like ‘autistic people don’t need x, we aren’t children!’, you are the one equating that need w being inherently childish - and, fun fact, autistic people all have different needs!

This is particularly apparent in y’all’s treatment of autistics w comorbid intellectual disabilities. In your attempt at disproving the stereotype that all/most autistics have IDs you’ve circled right back around to being ableist and are alienating a massive part of the community. Autistics w stereotypical traits aren’t perpetuating ableist stereotypes, ignorant allistics are.
