About me:
6'
Bear/Gorilla shaped
He/him
Likely autistic
Loves movies, animals, lifting heavy things and trivia
Reacts violently against the oppression of others
In favour of radical change to care for everyone
You don't get to kill people for disobeying authority
Most of the time, you shouldn't even be able to arrest them
Authority does not make something right
Blindly obeying Authority is the entire problem
They really did purposely kill twitter because it was going to lead to class consciousness and proper organization. And now all we're left with are poor alternatives that mimic what it was before
My incredibly high and rigid sense of justice isn't what makes me autistic but being autistic is the explanation of why I can't just "not worry about it" or not make it a big deal when I learn or witness injustice
And that's how I wish more NTs would understand it
At least when it's warmer out I can take part more because things can be done outside and away from most others. But now everything moves indoors and is mixed with randoms. So at the time of year when I could use others the most, I'm even more alone
When many people state that the lockdowns caused the deepest depression theyβve ever experienced, just a reminder that many disabled people are still in lockdown, five years later. Isolation is a form of torture. I want to live in a world where disabled people are wanted in society.
People say all sorts of things when they are struggling. It's when they have the choice to succeed at the expense of others that they show you who they really are. Very few people will sacrifice their own ease to do the right thing
Watch Mark Carney answer a question from far-right "news" outlet True North re: trans women's civil rights.
This is disappointing, @mark-carney.bsky.social. I expected better from you, especially in response to such a bad-faith question.
I said decades ago that the USA is on par, if not worse, than North Korea and always got called delusional
The American bubble is so effective bc people think since they can leave, that it can't be the same. Except they never leave
And the constant surprise of US residents of how other parts of the world function is proof of how well their propaganda works. "We're the greatest, I never want to leave. What do you mean you get paid time off if you have a kid?"
I discovered so many great movies in university. If I wasn't studying, I was watching something. Had my own collection but then we had a campus only sharing program similar to limewire
So many classics and new releases on there. God it was fun
Sending good wishes and vibes to @cooperstreaming.bsky.social bc I know she was dealing with a lot and has been quiet as of late. Hoping it's just a much needed break and nothing too serious
Itβs Trans Day of Visibility today, and weβre in an election campaign.
Iβll definitely be watching to see who mentions trans folksβ rights and who doesnβt!
To Recap:
You can commit a crime by negligently divulging military secrets, in violation of the Espionage Act, and you will *not* be arrested.
But if you have an autism awareness tattoo to support your autistic brother, you *will* be kidnapped and sent to a concentration camp in another country.
"They'll see how hard you work. You just have to wait for them to acknowledge you" at the same time as "well you haven't said anything. You have to go get what you want"
I've watched many people just have the things I want happen to them so I try to do that too. But when I do it, it's somehow wrong
I don't pick sides. I have a moral code and I'll choose whomever is closest to that. But I'll then also hold them to my standards. It's resulted in conflict with nearly everyone in my life bc they love it about me when I'm doing it to others but hate it applied to them
I truly believe a far left progressive party will wipe the damn floor with current parties bc all the people sitting at home outnumber those who are voting. Imagine what could be done without the current options being able to get in the way and sabotage/prevent real change
Nah, I hate america. I'll give each individual a chance but I have always hated that country and what it stands for. People act like this is some surprise behaviour when this is the bully and lies that the USA has always been. A shithole wrapped in propaganda I've never fallen for
Countries all over the world that have the same pros as the USA and often times even better. As well as pros that America dreams of.
Never been the greatest country. Just the easiest to exploit others and make π° for it
Under the new dental care addition to Canadian healthcare my 66 yo mother is getting about $5000 worth of work done for <$1000 which is in 3 installments. She's so excited to be able to eat properly again.
We are going to lose this if the Conservatives win the next election
Love to live in America, where insurance covers a pittance for dental work and I get to pay 1200 bucks out of pocket to make sure a very much needed root canal gets done
Being autistic is simultaneously being told I should be able to do something I can't, and being told I can't possibly be able to do something I absolutely can
The only thing I know about Jack Daniels is I got some wings in a jd sauce and I almost threw up after the first bite. I do not know how anyone drinks the black licorice of alcohols (and yes I know JΓ€germeister actually tastes like that but it's not as bad)
That Jack Daniels parent company has pulled out of @hrc.org's annual Corporate Equality Index is a reason every #LGBTQ Bar, Pride, festival, event should boycott Jack Daniels/Brown Forman Corp products
If you're wondering about the vibe in Canada right now, I just got served this ad for a brewhouse that is just a portrait of the White House being burned down. No text, just a bigass picture of the White House burning and a link directly to their menu lolol
The thing is, idiocracy still had them listen when they realized there was someone smarter. There wasn't malice behind their ignorance. This timeline is so much worse
