I’m really tired of seeing people broken up into labels of absolutes.

People are not just “good” or “bad”.

People are not a list of labels. 

People are complex, situations are complex.

I know, that makes it a lot harder when you want to just write off everything someone’s ever done as bad – but that’s not how people actually are, and it would do everyone good to stop pretending they are.

I am tired of hearing about the fear people have in putting themselves out there. And it is a scary thing! Putting yourself out there means subjecting yourself to people who want a really good reason to tear you down, who will jump at the first chance to feel “good” by labeling someone else as “bad”.

I reject this. I reject the idea that there should be fear in speaking up and talking about experiences and trying to reach an understanding of a situation.

I’m unhappy to see people spitefully urging others to cut off ties with their friends under the guise of “well, that person’s just inherently bad, so if you talk to them you’re bad too.” That is fucked up. You definitely have the right to let the friend know you don’t want to hear about whoever troubles you, but you do not at all have the right to decide who their friends should be. This includes guilt trips.

Anyway, just try to be more aware of others. Everyone else is a person like you. They might not have the same experiences as you. They might not understand how their words are harmful, or how what they’re doing is wrong. They certainly won’t if you never tell them.

Most people are trying to be good, but they’re going to mess it up sometimes. Try to keep that in mind. Even when people do really fucked up shit, sometimes they are trying to do good. “The road to hell is paved with good intentions” and all that.

Nothing gets solved, no growth happens when you put people into a box from which you’ll never let them escape.

Yes, you absolutely must be careful about people who have tendencies and patterns that are harmful to you. Sometimes people try to overcome those patterns and they fail, and you have to distance yourself from them: that is the sad reality of life. Sometimes though, they can overcome it. But they certainly won’t if the first thing you do is write them off after a fuck up. 

Be sincere. Use your best judgment.

>Most people are trying to be good, but they’re going to mess it up sometimes. Try to keep that in mind. Even when people do really fucked up shit, sometimes they are trying to do good. “The road to hell is paved with good intentions” and all that. 

Oh, I never forget that. In fact, that’s the worst part.

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING EVER.

Man found the stoplight cameras were activated during yellow lights and decided to cut the wires of it.

Florida Man: Chaotic evil.
New York Man: Chaotic good.

Holy shit. Nah dude look up the entire story, it’s INSANE.

The dude got arrested once before this for using a painter’s extension rod to point the stoplight cameras into the sky instead of cutting the wires. He didn’t cut the wires until AFTER he got out after being arrested the first time–which he did after posting facebook videos that prove that the stoplights are intentionally rigged to trick drivers into citations–the yellow lights at intersections with cameras only last THREE SECONDS, as opposed to the five seconds they last at other stoplights without cameras in the same county.

When he cut the camera cords, he reported his deeds to the news -himself,- and then politicians pressured the local police force into arresting him. The local police and sheriff deputies actually SUPPORT him for his actions because the lights have been killing innocent people! During his most recent arrest, one of the Sheriff’s Deputies actually -offered to bail him out-.

When he got home again after these incidents, there was a surveillance camera planted at his house BY THE GOVERNMENT to watch him! His reaction to being surveilled? He painted over the camera in America’s flat out fucking ballsiest “fuck you” to the gubmint I’ve ever heard of.

And it gets EVEN CRAZIER. After painting over the camera, suddenly this guy–his name is Stephen Ruth by the way–started GETTING ATTEMPTS ON HIS LIFE. He reports that a car intentionally tried to hit him in a head-on collision, and after talking about the car to his neighbors, they confirmed that the car in question (Or at least, one that was visibly identical, its occupants included) had been staking out his house! Somebody was legitimately trying to MURDER HIM over his discovery and his actions!

As a final insult to injury, Ruth pointed out that the VAST majority of the cameras were found SPECIFICALLY in lower-to-middle-class neighborhoods. As well, the victims of these rigged stoplights tried to go to the local news station to talk about the deaths of their family members that occurred from the rigging. Aaaand… The local station, “News12″, never aired their interviews.

Remember how I said that, after cutting the cables and calling the local news station, Ruth was arrested because of pressure from politicians? Get this: News12 is actually owned by CableVision, who PROVIDES INTERNET SERVICE TO THE CAMERAS. 

Whereas mister Ruth was only trying to help people and save lives, he’s been caught up in a full-blown fucking government conspiracy that’s out for his blood. This guy isn’t Robin Hood, he makes Robin Hood look like a -CHUMP-.

do the spiderverse kids all have. slightly different meme cultures

miles: look I can fit my whole fist in my mouth

gwen: freaky flexing. but alright

miles:

miles, through his fist: I’m sorry what did you just say

ok but remember Peter B’s world is most like ours

 so both Miles and Gwen would have slightly off memes and distress him when he has a hard enough time remembering his own world’s memes

I WAS HOPING SOMEBODY WOULD POINT THIS OUT.

Miles: It’s “strange flex but cool beans.”
Peter: Am I tripping on something? Is this a stroke, is this what a stroke feels like?

Miles: *makes a mistake* This is distressing. Siri play Take on Me.

Gwen: you absolute heathen. It’s ‘This is tragic, google play All Star.’

Peter: whAT the fUCK

THAT’S IT THIS ONE IS THE BEST ONE

noir: strange flaunt, but alas

I love that the internet saw people comparing women and other alienated groups of people and went, “they’re dating,” and, “they support each other.” We’re improving as a society.

THIS IS HOW TO TAKE A TRASH OPINION COMIC AND MAKE IT BETTER.
THANK YOU.

Honestly if you don’t think Morticia Gomez and Jessica Rabbit would love and support the fuck out of each other than you don’t know these characters as well as you think.

I love every single one of these great comics!

idea I haven’t really seen talked about but that is important: invisible supports

sometimes, as a disabled person, the environment you’re in will meet a need without you having to put in any thought or effort at all. This might mean having a housemate who enjoys doing the food shopping, or living next to a stretch of nice flat sidewalk, or going to a school small enough that it can’t generate a panic-inducing crowd. 

Some of these invisible supports will be load bearing, but they don’t have to be. Sometimes they’ll “just” (these things are important too, but might not make your life fall apart if they don’t work) make it possible for you to do a hobby you wouldn’t otherwise do, or save you ten minutes of effort, or need to be replaced with a formal accommodation in another environment.

The tricky thing about invisible supports is that it can be very hard to figure out what kind of support you need when an environment changes. If you move from a tiny school to a large one, you might not realize you can’t be in the middle of an assembly until you’re in the middle of a panic attack. Sometimes, because an invisible support is just a default part of an environment, you might not even realize it’s gone.

It’s worthwhile, especially if you’re coming up on a change in environment, to start actively looking for invisible supports in your life, and trying to find ways to support that need in your new environment. It’s also worth recognizing that if there’s something you can’t do that used to be possible, it might at least partially be because you’re lacking an invisible support. And if a need was invisibly supported in the past, it’s often possible to intentionally seek out support that will allow you to do the thing.

Humans are adorable.

Supporting evidence:

1. Humans say ‘ow’, even if they haven’t actually been hurt. It’s just a thing they say when they think they might have been hurt, but aren’t sure yet.

2. Humans collect shiny things and decorate their bodies and nests with them. The shinier the better, although each individual has a unique taste for style and colouring

3. Humans are not an aquatic or even amphibious species, but they flock to bodies of water simply to play in it. They can’t even hold their breath all that long; they just love to splash!

4. When night falls and the sky goes dark, humans become drowsy and begin to cocoon themselves in soft, fluffy bedding.

5. Some humans spend time in each other’s nests! Just for fun! It’s not their nest; they’re just visiting each other.

6. Some humans use pigments and dyes to make their bodies flashy and colourful! They even attach shiny dangly bits to their cartalidgous membranes!

7. Humans are very clever, and sometimes adopt creatures from other species into their family units. They don’t seem to notice the obvious differences, and often raise them alongside their own young!

8. If a human sees another creature in distress, they can commonly be observed trying to help! Even at their own risk, most humans are deeply compassionate creatures!

9. If a human hears a particularity catchy sound or tune, it will often mimic it, even to the point of annoying themselves!

10. Sneezes are entirely involuntary, and completely adorable. Especially when the human in question becomes frustrated

11. Humans love treats!!! Some more than others. Many humans will save these treats specifically for a later date when they are in need of comfort or reassurance. IE, pickles, pop tarts, Popsicles, etc

12. They’re learning to travel in space!!! They can’t get very far, but they’re trying!!! So far, they’ve made it to the end of their yard, and have found rocks

this sounds like it was written by a really enthusiastic alien humanologist

i’m cRYING

“So far, they’ve made it to the end of their yard, and have found rocks” is still maybe the cutest thing that’s ever been said about space exploration.

This is so fucking adorable

30 Days of Autism Acceptance: Day #1

Introduce Yourself

Hello, I’m not going to share my name but I’m a 22 year old female.

I currently spend most of my time studying, or doing other university related things, where I’m endeavouring to achieve a BA (Hons) in English Literature and History. Almost finishing my second year, and my greatest (both in regards to quantity and quality) assignment this year is on a SPIN of mine: Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray.

I’m also a Scout leader, for the youngest section, which I’ve been doing since my final month of college (where I studied Public Services and Science).

I am owned by a nine year old cat (who will be ten in May) who reluctantly shares me with a four year old pug-jack russell cross (who will be five in May). I’ll probably make a two tier cake for my cat’s birthday, as I did when he turned five, despite not having yet given my human sister anything for her birthday in March. Priorities.

I like a variety of crafts including card making, pyrography and making clay models. I’d like to use the latter for some stop-frame animation, but I’m yet to acquire a suitable frame for my work to ensure the arms don’t fall off etc.

I was diagnosed with autism when I was sixteen, after a rough time at high school, but only really came to appreciate and accept the diagnosis after knowingly meeting my first autistic adult, Chris Packham (the BBC guy).

I still miss My Chemical Romance, and am looking forward to my first holiday in three years - to Berlin next month.

I also didn’t realise I had the capacity to properly introduce myself. I might print screen this.
