The way that you react to this clip is a litmus test for if you’ve ever been autistic in public school or not

Okay, for people who may not get it:

What is being shown here is the exact type of bullying that lots of autistic people (and, in general, people who miss social cues) are subjected to in school. ‘Popular girls’ have a tendency to attempt to befriend their autistic peers for the sake of being their circus freak.

Chelsea in this clip is constantly invading Ruby’s personal space, grabbing at her, and is never not talking down to her. She doesn’t rebuke Ruby’s self-deprecating beliefs (instead opting for a “yeah, you ARE a freak BUT…” approach). Chelsea is literally manipulating Ruby into ditching school in this clip, and we KNOW, based off of other trailers, that she has bad intentions.

Chelsea is a bully pretending to be a friend, and Ruby can’t read her well enough to grasp that Chelsea is treating her like a weird little pet more than a peer. And autistic people who grew up facing this exact type of bullying can see it from a mile away.

Pride isn’t a “queer-friendly space”, pride IS queer space.

Kink doesn’t “belong” at pride, kink IS pride.

To say that these things are just-kind-of-also-included is such a diluted view of what these things actually are. These spaces have been mentally purified for so many people as things that are “also-okay-for-gays!”–

No!!

These spaces ARE OURS. Not just “friendly to us”. Not just “inclusive to us”. They ARE us. We don’t just “belong”… We’re the reason it exists in the first place!

watching reddit go into a full death spiral is like watching the specifically trans equivalent of the library of alexandria go up in flames

like yes reddit is also the only place on the internet you can get an actual answer to any question in general. but it’s also a huge centralized community database about which surgeons will fuck you over, who takes what insurance, which doctors you can trust, how to write a template therapist’s letter, insurance appeals, peer support, questions that feel too stupid to ask anywhere else, diy guidelines, “hey this is embarrassing but,” finding trans people in your area, explaining why you need PTO without getting way too personal about it, safety tips, et cetera you get the picture

man that “femboy tummy pill” stuff is especially insidious because whilst i know we’re all gonna ruthlessly make fun of it for weeks there really is a real social pressure to have a flat tummy when you’re transfem; my tummy is something i constantly something i feel ugly or unattractive about, & i already kinda feel like eating disorders & unhealthy weight ideals are pretty commonly unchecked in the transfem community without all these fucking snakeoils preying on people’s insecurities

for the redditors coming here, this is how we spread news of important events in the world, with a Destiel meme

For everybody who's been here a while and felt like Wiley E. Coyote just after running off the edge of the cliff when they scrolled down to find nothing below

Man. The flagrant lack of critical reading skills and basic reading comprehension just makes me sad. There's a lot of joy in reading the English language that these people are missing out on. There's a clear INTEREST in reading and I feel like if we could just get people off this anti-intellectual streak everyone would be having much more fun reading Metamorphosis AND Twilight.

I genuinely hate this attitude that getting better reading comprehension skills will somehow keep you from enjoying your pulp romance or comic books or fanfiction. All a literature education does is give you more tools to analyze writing. It will only increase the joy of reading.

Oh my God! 😭 You dropped this queen 👑

Pretty sure Guinness doesn’t keep records on skin tone but if they did I think Khoudia Diop would be a close contender

The two of them actually did a photoshoot together

You literally feel God seeing them. I love that they are warm and cool toned. What a divine match!

I'm not sure if this will come out right but:

Being loved is NOT a reward for being beneficial or useful in any way. You don't become less deserving of being loved if you aren't productive for a day or if you have a bad day and can't get out of bed.

I promise. Being loved has nothing to do with how you "help" the world or those around you.
