#a literal social experiment

[magnetothemagnificent]

Non-ADHD and non-autistic disabled people whose only idea of ADHD and autistic people is shaped by media depictions of a nerdy white boy or a quirky goth girl with low support needs: "Yeah ADHD and autism are destigmatized and we should ignore people with ADHD and autism in favor of real disabilities. I am very smart and progressive."

Lateral prejudice towards other disabled people will get us nowhere.

#actually disabled #ableism #lateral ableism #autistic people face disproportional police violence #especially if they're not white #I know people who have been severely hurt socially financially and mentally because of their adhd and/or autism #there's a literal anti-vax movement of people who think autism is worse than polio and measles and shit #adhd and autism are not destigmatized #just because a handfull of privileged adhd and/or autistic people managed to succeed and mask very well #doesn't mean that's the majority of the adhd and/or autistic experience #there's a reason autism was classed as a schizophrenic disorder for a long time #because the outward symptoms of autism and schizophrenia can be very similar #parents of adhd and autistic kids talk openly about wanting to murder their children and some even succeed in doing so #and people sympathize with them #autism and adhd can manifest in auditory processing disorders and communication disorders #which to a non-professional appear indistinguishable from physical hearing impairements and neurological disabilities #adhd symptoms can be so similar to brain cancer that I know someone who died because his cancer was caught so late #actually autistic

Imagine being 9 years old and asking your dad about the things you're interested in doing when you grow up and he's like "No ❤️! But you can get married, have babies, and then maybe your sons can do those things ☺️🫶 "

#arya stark #one of those /wtf Ned/ moments #then people act like she invented misogyny cause she was like /uuuhhhhh no thanks that's not me/ #/Arya is masculine/ and she's literally just a child who has interests outside of her patriarchy-assigned role #the way people read this and then demonize Arya for not silently conforming like people expect her to... #that's the ingrained misogyny from being socialized in a patriarchal society speaking babes 😭 #cannot stress enough how Arya is just an average little girl and what makes her behavior stand out is their society's strict gender norms #her life + learning almost entirely revolves around the fact that she is being raised to be a wife and people resent her for wanting more : #she is NINE in AGoT and her parents are discussing her refinement because /In a few years she will be of an age to marry/ #the way misogyny is explored in Arya's story is actually so brilliant and well-written (+ underappreciated) though #we feel the full weight of how restrictive their society is through her POV and get the experiences of lower-class women too #which is why it's so significant that George wrote her based on feminists who realized they wanted more than becoming wives/housewives #she's one of his key characters who will /change the world/ but people think he's sticking her on a boat bc she isn't feminine enough 😭 #thank god he's writing the books and not any of these reductive hacks who thinks misogyny is subversive 🙏🏾 #sidenote: would've loved to see this from her POV to get her feelings when he said this cause I'm sure it doesn't match Ned's perception #considering he views her main issues as being stubborn/difficult while we know about the self-esteem issues she has

the horny horny response to that tiktok makes up for the ppl in the notes having full on wah-wah meltdowns over the suggestion that tiktok's perceived Quality fully has to do with how you, individually, use it. I don't even have to say anything, bc these two tags already summarize it perfectly

#IT'S CALLED CURATING YOUR EXPERIENCE... #and yes for god's sake. stop hatewatching #it adapts so specifically that I started getting golden retrievers like Crazy in the months before I adopted Hugo #bc when I came across a video w one in it. I would watch it like 10 times #and it went oh I see you're looping this #people are so dramatic. someone tried to say that tiktok (unlike other social media) is promoting eating disorders #as if tumblr.com didn't LITERALLY INVENT THINSPO. pro-ana anybody? or are ppl too young to remember #you can still find ppl on tumblr promoting that NOW. tiktok isn't special. #also 'regularly' here is used like 'normal' and not 'frequently' if u could not tell jfc #sergle.txt

more “gay” pages posting complete homophobic garbage claiming bisexual women are lesbians

#tra homophobia #drop the t & b #of course there’s a comment calling us actual lesbians trans/biphobic 🙄 #all lesbians are terfs bc homosexuality is only real if a woman is a feminist or political like what kind of homophobic logic #they think they’re so different than het men who argue all lesbians aren’t real and want a male and piv #the obsession with also equating toys to wanting a man is never ending #and i remember the poll here that showed most lesbians of course want to eat pussy most of all #and bi women wanted to use toys #like lesbians don’t want anything that looks like a dick when they have sex only bi women do and i know from experience #why the fuck would we #i wish people would stop fucking obsessing over and disecting how lesbians have sex and why #they always have to make it about males and dick #it’s socially acceptable to make creepy perverted comments always talking about or mocking lesbian sex #bi women are like why do lesbians hate us? you literally are with whole ass men calling yourselves lesbians and dykes and bonding over how #much you hate real lesbians and insinuating we aren’t real and can be fixed with conversion #therapy #people hate us so deeply for loving only women and only the female anatomy #they genuinely believe we can’t be happy being homosexuals and bring up toys as some kind of proof #the same people who can’t make women come unlike us

I'm sorry Gianni but that is the entire premise of this account summarized in 11 seconds.

Transcript:

Stop saying "Gabriel throwing up" You can't- You can't just always have a bit and you go its "X AUDIO? FOR FREE?"

#ooc post #video #he was going to say gabriel throwing up audio. which is literally what it was #but people in chat were saying 'moaning audio' because it sounded like that too LOL #actual posts coming soonish. today was just downloading and editing stuff #sowwy i wish i had more time to shitpost but i dont #and TUMBLR AUDIO UPLOAD LIMIT cucks me everyday #it prevents me from mass uploading stuff to drafts to post whenever #@staff stop cucking my shitposts #i wonder if i post enough clips will ppl start saying gabriel the 'correct' way #its a social experiment #its 'gahbriel' not 'gaybriel' #as counter intuitive as that is. gayass.

Other people have discussed this more eloquently, but the thing people don't always seem to get about "passing" (think "cis passing" or "straight passing", for instance) is that the concept of "passing" relies on more than just appearance.

Take me for instance, where I do pass as a man, but I have never (and will never) pass as a cishet man. People know I am queer, even if they don't see that I am a trans queer man. Passing is more than wearing certain things or saying certain things. My mannerisms are queer, my speech is queer, my inflection is queer, my stance is queer. People pick up on that. There's nothing wrong with me being seen as queer, but I'm still treated like a queer man, for better and worse. It seems that people forget that, you know?

My point is that passing is very conplex, nuanced, and individual. I use myself as an example, but that by no means indicates that I have a standard experience. I've noticed, however, that many people have over-generalized these conversations, and I think that doesn't do us - as a community - a service.

#lesbian #gay #bi #bisexual #trans #transgender #queer #lgbt #lgbtq #that's why the whole 'bi people ALWAYS pass as straight' and all that doesn't make sense... #...because even the cis bi people i know still are noticably queer. even if you don't know HOW they are queer you can pick up on it #i don't contend that i pass as cis in most *social* settings but i also don't pass as not queer #and there are PLENTY of instances where i literally CANNOT pass as cis OR het #such as going to doctors/voting/using banks/getting my testosterone/flying and having a passport #interactions with police/going through college and rooming/getting an apartment/applying for jobs and keeping a job #i cannot pass as anything other than a trans male and all the things that may arise from that - good AND bad #so my experiences are not one of always passing and that's something i have noticed a lot even from other trans people who regularly pass #this isn't trying to be a doomer or anything - i'm trying to be realistic about my experiences and some other experiences i have noticed #ftm #mtf #nonbinary

Okay but for real, please download Merlin, the Cornell-based bird-logging app. It is so great. It will tell you about birds in your area. It will make you so insufferable on hikes and outings. It doesn't have any comments section so if this site gets nuked do NOT try to find me there but know that that's where I'm hanging. Having a great time birdwatching. Logging the bluejay that bullies my cats. Helping researchers track where birds are for climate change-related population monitoring. 10/10, highly recommend getting a life and doing some silly birdwatching.

#I forget who here recced me the bird app cuz it's PHENOMENAL so I'm sorry I am blanking #also if anyone has recs for apps for tracking flora pls lemme know cuz I am on the hunt #if you have had a good experience with inaturalist I wanna hear about it cuz it felt too social media-y for me #is it good? I do not know. I actually really want to cuz I need to be able to better identify plants. #it would be so funny if I just didn't open my inbox and instead made a post about birdwatching for every ask I get this weekend lmfao #I really think it's what the dash deserves #I'll tell you about arizona birds! it'll be great #I also have seen some GREAT juniper trees and stars today. yes STARS. #literally if you haven't done it lately go find somewhere dark and see the stars. v important. #anyway junipers are making berries rn! they're delightful!

Just finished another class on how to not put my foot in my mouth and it's soooo validating to know people have to learn these skills like anything else. I've signed up for uhhh I think this is like my 3rd or 4th? And experts on how to not sound like a dick will school me and 30 other professionals on how to not sound like a dick. Wiiiiiiild how much there is to learn on the intricacies of communication :O

#Creepy chatter #Professionally I've been trained on the SCARF model a lot but this is the first they linked neuroscience :o #We discussed how to avoid accidentally triggering fight/flight/freeze by limiting perceived social threats #Which is sooo neat bc I've had a similar discussion w my therapist and both said essentially the same thing #Your brain DOES experience social threat/injury just like a physical threat/injury. Right down to a pain sensation. #Just like lol...being aware of that can make navigating conversations a little more understandable tbh #In F/F/F mode your brain literally does not use its logic center. We have entered unga bunga survival instincts. #Idk I have been enjoying this type of learning. Very psychology based w a focus on improving relationships :)

I'm not at all an expert on gender studies but if you're interested in it at all I HIGHLY recommend you look into oppositional sexism as an issue because I feel like I can see into the fourth dimension of queer discourse now

#spitblaze says things #we SAY that gender is a spectrum and not a binary! and it IS a spectrum! #but too many people still view it as a binary on a social level #like yes your *gender* can be literally anything but what about your *experiences* and *privileges*? those get shoved into 'men' and 'women' #and a lot of people are under the impression that these experiences are Entirely Separate and Cannot Be Compared #which just isnt true! #i feel like we're sort of seeing a weird assertion rn that masculinity in and of itself grants privilege #as in. butch women have some sort of nebulous privilege over femme women #which is uh. not true but DOES come back to oppositional sexism. masculinity makes your experiences inherently different somehow #but it DOESNT

hey i’m not the anon who asked u abt the 3-days thing but i gotta say, absolutely ate up all three of those snippets u gave , just delicious

i wanna specifically rattle u abt the third tho bc u said u were esp hesitant abt it and i gotta say i love a silly will and i love a fun nico character piece so i’d love to see ur take on him figuring out how navigate this very specific type of person

anyways blows u a kiss love ur writing ty for sharing it w us

thank you!! it was actually the first pjo thing i wrote (this decade) lol. but i convinced myself that everyone would hate will's character and stopped writing it. BUT i am re-interested in it and am going to give it another go!!!

#i like the idea of will making absolutely no effort to hide how much he likes nico tho #and maybe im just an autistic will truther but.... #he has No social awareness 😭😭 #im going off BoO mostly but like he was out there arguing w nico about things that literally only he was thinking #and assumed everyone was the same #'no one ostracised you! people just wanted to be your friend!' #baby......thats your whipped ass 😭😭 your experience is not universal lmfao #i adore him #ask

feminist theories, esp Black feminist & transfeminist & anticapitalist feminist theories, have a lot of complexity and depth and really dig in to complex systems of oppression and like there's so much there!! so many critiques, so much back and forth and refining and updating theory to better fit evolving understandings and circumstances

so it's kinda wild to me that people think they're gonna revolutionize gender theory when it's painfully clear that they have NO idea what's already there.

like there are people trying to make whole new frameworks to understand systems of gendered oppression but without any detailed understanding of the current frameworks or, crucially, in what ways they are useful and what material realities they accurately describe.

in order to be useful a new framework needs to both be a) internally logically consistent AND b) describe or explain or interrogate etc material realities that exist in the real world

and c) do this in a way or to a degree that existing or past frameworks don't already do as well or better

and some people are coming up with stuff that sounds good in a vacuum!!!

but they're going off vibes and feelings without much attempt to find out the details of existing frameworks or even what the measurable & objective material realities are

so these "revolutionary new gender theory frameworks" often end up being rehashes of stuff that's already been thought about by lots and lots of people and widely rejected for being inaccurate or inadequate in the face of better frameworks, and/or describing or responding to a totally alternate universe disconnected from how things work in the real world

these kinds of issues make many "revolutionary new frameworks" useless at best, and at worst, they can be reactionary and actually reify existing forms of oppression.

#also they often coincidentally tend to center the exact same kind of person as the person who came up with them as the most oppressed #but it might be petty of me to point that out #you know you can talk about your experiences without claiming they're literally the worst possible experience right? #like you don't actually have to claim people in objectively worse situations are actually the REAL oppressors for your suffering to matter #also i think learning about actual feminist theory might be genuinely empowering to people in this weird position of like #''aware i'm oppressed but feeling like my oppression is minimized on social media because i see people who have my oppression + others'' #like social media is not all that feminism is and you don't have to rely on it for your understanding of oppression #thatdiabolicalfeminist
