Murata (artist for One Punch Man) did this insane Goku and Vegeta sketch its amazing.

woman: *talks about equality in any way*

men every time: so i can hit you, right? i can beat the absolute shit out of you? it’s equality :)

Men =/= Women

Women can have equal social standing when they make an equal contribution and half of our infantry are women.

William. You are so brave for talking shit when you look like this. How many layers of inbred are you? Is your family tree more like a family donut? I can see that you tried with that hairstyle, but you shouldn’t have. You see, Billy Bob, you can’t just take the shavings from your head and sprinkle them on your top lip and call that a mustache. That hairline is trying to run away from your bad opinions. Your eyebrows aren’t even on speaking terms. Every level of your development as a human has been another mistake. And here you sit, on your porn blog, explaining to human women why we can’t be equal until we’re half of the infantry… are you? I find that really hard to believe. Is that what you think makes a person worthwhile? Being a meat shield? Cleetus, if that’s all you aspire to, I’m so sorry. Look at those shoulders. You wouldn’t even be a good meat shield, because someone could shoot at you point blank and still miss

What contribution have you made to society? The largest cumsock collection in all of Alabama? Most Cousins Fucked 2k15? How many confederate flags do you own, exactly?

Billy bob. No one wants to be equal to you. We can do so much better than that.

Every line had me screaming

this thread absolutely killed me

“If autism isn’t caused by environmental factors and is natural why didn’t we ever see it in the past?”

We did, except it wasn’t called autism it was called “Little Jonathan is a r*tarded halfwit who bangs his head on things and can’t speak so we’re taking him into the middle of the cold dark forest and leaving him there to die.”

Or “little Jonathan doesn’t talk but does a good job herding the sheep, contributes to the community in his own way, and is, all around, a decent guy.” That happened a lot, too, especially before the 19th century.

Or, backing up FURTHER

and lots of people think this very likely,

“Oh little Sionnat has obviously been taken by the fairies and they’ve left us a Changeling Child who knows too much, and asks strange questions, and uses words she shouldn’t know, and watches everything with her big dark eyes, clearly a Fairy Child and not a Human Like Us.”

The Myth of the Changeling child, a human baby apparently replaced at a young age by a toddler who “suddenly” acts “strange and fey” is an almost textbook depiction of autistic children.

To this day, “autism warrior mommies” talk about autism “stealing” their “sweet normal child” and have this idea of “getting their real baby back” which (in the face of modern science)  indicates how the human psyche actually does deal with finding out their kid acts unlike what they expected.

Given this evidence, and how common we now know autism actually is, the Changeling myth is almost definitely the result of people’s confusion at the development of autistic children.

Weirdly enough, that legend is now comforting to me.

I think it’s worth noting that many like me, who are diagnosed with ASD now, would probably have been seen as just a bit odd in centuries past. I’m only a little bit autistic; I can pass for neurotypical for short periods if I work really hard at it. I have a lack of talent in social situations, and I’m prone to sensory overload or you might notice me stimming.

But here’s the thing: life is louder, brighter and more intense and confusing than it has ever been. I live on the edge of London and I rarely go into the centre of town because it’s too overwhelming. If I went back in time and lived on a farm somewhere, would anyone even notice there was anything odd about me? No police sirens, no crowded streets that go on for miles and miles, no flickery electric lights. Working on a farm has a clear routine. I’d be a badass at spinning cloth or churning butter because I find endless repetition soothing rather than boring.

I’m not trying to romanticise the past because I know it was hard, dirty work with a constant risk of premature death. I don’t actually want to be a 16th century farmer! What I’m saying is that disability exists in the context of the environment. Our environment isn’t making people autistic in the sense of some chemical causing brain damage. But we have created a modern environment which is hostile to autistic people in many ways, which effectively makes us more disabled. When you make people more disabled, you start to see more people struggling, failing at school because they’re overwhelmed, freaking out at the sound of electric hand dryers and so on. And suddenly it looks like there’s millions more autistic people than existed before.

“…disability exists in the context of the environment.”

Reblog for disability commentary.

That last paragraph is absolutely important.

“How come nobody ever heard of ‘dyslexia’ until widespread literacy became a thing?”

Tangentially related: I’m severely near-sighted. Thing start blurring only 6 inches from my face and I can’t read a book or my laptop screen once I take off my glasses. So you can imagine how horrified people are when I tell them the story of once having to drive without glasses in a minor emergency. But here is the funny thing: I was perfectly fine. I am not actually blind - I can still see the general shapes of objects, judge distances between them and myself, see lines on the road, see if there is something human-shaped walking, see lights and what color they are, etc. The only real loss when I drove without my glasses/when I drove “blind” was that I could no longer read signs - but this route was familiar to me, so signs were not necessary for me anyway. In a hunter-gatherer context, I would not have been useful in gathering because I could not make out enough detail to tell apart plants from each other - but I would’ve been just fine hunting. I don’t need to make out details on an animal to know that the animal is there, how far away it is, how fast it’s moving in what direction, etc. I’m a voracious reader, most of my hobbies and profession are text-based, which is why I need glasses, and have needed glasses since I was very young. But if I took out reading from my life, then I…would basically not need glasses at all. Almost nothing else I do day-to-day requires me to make out fine details a lot. The only other major loss is facial recognition - I can’t make out faces further than about a foot away from me. BUT, I can still recognize people by their voice, posture, behavior, etc etc. So in a pre-literate society, I may not have even realized/noticed that I was half-blind/near-sighted, because I would be operating just fine. I’m only (half-)blind because we live in a text-based society, where we need to distinguish fine details such as the markings of ink on paper or pixels on a screen, and recognize faces without the broader context of voice, posture, body language, etc. (re: photographs). If I did not need to do these things, I would not need glasses, and I would not be blind/visually disabled. That is JUST for near-sighted vision, but extrapolate that idea to most other disabilities and you’ll start to see why we see it more today than in centuries and civilizations prior.

i’m screaming over these why are they like….so complimentary

I can feel…the serotonin and dopamine dropping…i need to make…Crafts

i must make…

B…

NASA has released new images of Jupiter, taken by the Juno Spacecraft.

He’s so much bluer than I would have imagined!

Every depiction of Jupiter shows in shades of red, orange, etc, but never blue. And is beautiful.

Remember when BONES confirmed they’re going to give Shimazaki a fat ass?

I was talking about this image that haunts me every day

If you rearrange the letters in the light it spells alien

If you add in the partial letters touched by the light it’s “E.T. Alien” 👽

Okay so Norway is like such an odd country cause like listen to this

Norwegians consume 9% of all Pepsi max produced

Norwegians eat the second most tacos in the world, just after Mexico

Norwegians drink the second most coffee in the world, just after USA

Norwegians read the second most comic books in the world, just after japan

There are only 5 million people in Norway

And apparently they are having an AMAZING time.
