Hey y'all, right now, Gamestop is asking people to donate to Autism $peaks, and as an Autistic person, I would just like to say

DO NOT FUCKING DONATE TO AUTISM $PEAKS

If you really want to donate to someone actually helping autistic people get jobs like they’re saying it’s for, fucking Microsoft would be better.

Autism $peaks is a hate group.

  • They openly advocate for the extermination of autistic people.
  • Every single one of their founders and chairpersons have openly admitted to contemplating the murder of their autistic child - in detail.
  • They advocate for a cure and support outdated and falsified information that a) vaccines cause Autism - Autism is genetic, the only “cure” is genocide - and b) white cis boys are the majority “afflicted”.
  • They compare Autism to cancer and use fearmongering to gain supporters. (Actual things their ads have said: Autism will ruin your marriage, Autism is invisible until it’s too late, Autism causes more deaths than any terminal illness, etc, etc.)
  • They support electroshock therapy and ABA institutions like the Judge Rotenberg Center (seriously, google it).

If you want to donate to charities actually doing good work for Autistic people, donate to The Autistic Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN - @autisticadvocacy ) or The Autistic Women & Non-Binary Network (AWN - @awn-network ).

All of this could be found out with 30 seconds of googling, I don’t understand why companies insist on supporting a literal fucking hate group when there is so much out there about why not to and so many other, much better, charities to support.

Allistic people - please fucking reblog this

GameStop is one of autism $peaks top donators. If you look on their website it says they donate in the millions annually. I haven’t shopped there in years because of this.

TJMaxx is asking for Autism $peaks donations as well, just giving everyone a heads up.

Okay but after seeing this I started doing it too and it’s amazing how many men I’ve run into bc they expected me to move

Gotta try it

I work (and walk) on a college campus. I’ve lost count of how many men I’ve smacked shoulders with.

Recently, I was standing outside my son’s classroom waiting to talk to his teacher. I stood on one side of the hallway, not even close to the center. At some point, a man came walking along. I was standing right in his path, but the hallway was empty, so I logically expected him to swerve around me. Instead he kept walking right toward me, got to me, and stopped, as if waiting for me to get out of his way. I didn’t; I just smiled politely at him. He finally walked around me, clearly annoyed that I hadn’t leapt out of his manly path.

Now I’m wishing I’d leapt aside, taken off my jacket and laid it on the floor before him, then bowed deeply and said, “My Liege!”

I also work at a college campus. I smack shoulders sometimes, but I find that if I stare straight ahead and follow the advice below, people get the heck out of the way.

Honestly this post changed how I carry myself when walking alone in public, or in a situation where I’m the one leading. People definitely move for the murder gaze.

Confirmed. I once had to rush back inside a convention hall as the con was closing in order to a retrieve a sick friend’s medication, and I didn’t understand why people in the crowd were jumping out of my way (literally—one guy vaulted a table) until I realized I was dressed as the Winter Soldier and doing the Murder Walk because that’s just how I walk in those boots. I got the meds, got out, and made a mental note.

I repeated the experiment later, wearing the boots but otherwise my usual clothing and mimicking the expression I thought I’d had at that moment. People parted like I was Charlton Heston.

I now wear that style of boots whenever possible. I recently had a man do a double-take as I walked by and ask me, politely, where I had served because I “looked like a soldier.” I’m not current or former military. I was wearing a flowy purple peasant top and looked as un-soldierlike as possible.

Moral of the story: wear comfortable shoes, square your shoulders, and walk like you’ve been sent to murder Captain America.

WALK LIKE YOU’VE BEEN SENT TO MURDER CAPTAIN AMERICA

It’s called the Murder Strut.

IT’S BACK!!!!!! I was searching for this to show my daughter the other day and couldn’t find it. I’m so glad IT’S BACK!! I will always reblog the Murder Strut!!

A guy on a bike went around me because he could tell I had no intention of moving. Thanks to this post.

This post went from Scientific to Feminist to Educational to HILARIOUS!

#make men get the fuck out of the way 2k17

Love this

okay ladies let’s talk that pic of tony and peter from the new end game trailer……y’all think that throwing up the bunny ears behind each other’s heads was planned?????? or did both of them do it at the same time thinking they were pranking the other one until they looked at the pic and peter laughed and tony kinda chuckled and it reminded him that peter and him are alike in a lot of ways and that’s why it’s the pic of them that he has framed

Sobriety’s overrated. Look where it’s gotten you, though. Well, where has it gotten me? Where has it gotten me? Nowhere. I can’t talk to the person I love. People still don’t take me seriously. I wanna be numb again.
