Anyone remember when Boris Johnson said in 2020 that the worst case scenario would be losing 200,000 people to C0vid, and we surpassed that in 2022 and nobody cared?
How quickly we normalised something that was abhorrent just 2 years earlier.

Can we please stop referring to the pandemic in past tense and climate change in future tense?

All of us were told
that we must be willing
to make sacrifices
unfortunately
as it turns out
some of us
are the sacrifice
others are willing to make.

LEGAL ASSISTANCE NEEDED π¨
Justin Nazaroff, CEO of @FenixAmmunition, is using my likeness without permission on his productsβ bullets.
The veiled threat is paper thin and not lost on me. My health and safety are at immediate risk.
Iβm a disability advocate who shares information about the ongoing pandemic. My advocacy upset Justin so much that he harassed me in multiple posts to his 130k followers, using the R-slur multiple times, mocking my intelligence & appearance, and now using my image on his products without my permission.
Iβm a disabled person in poverty and canβt tackle this alone. I didnβt know my online presence was so triggering that an insecure CEO needed to steal my image for his own profit.
I need help.
Please share this post in hopes that someone will be able to help me resolve this swiftly.
Christmas is basically an annual executive function competition isn't it? If you can successfully juggle all the things, you win. #ActuallyAutistic

If you're not wearing a mask, you can't complain that flights are delayed, shelves are empty, or there are no doctor's appointments. You are part of the problem.

Your child is not a possession.
Your child is not a thing that you own.
Your child is not an extension of you.
Your child does not owe you anything.
Your child is an individual, autonomous person - a full unique human being. And your job is to validate and support them.
Do you ever guess what facial expression to make to hide your slow processing speed, but then your brain catches up and you realise oh shit I made the wrong one? #ActuallyAutistic
I don't know what being neurotypical is like, but I suspect it doesn't involve an incessant inner monologue of existential crises. #ActuallyAutistic
In 2020/21 people got a taste of what disability inclusion looks like, said "ew, no thanks" and doubled down on their ableism instead.
It's wild that we don't have 5 year data on SARS2 let alone 10 year data, yet most people are fine with their kids getting infected over and over by a virus with unknown long term outcomes. Why aren't we fighting harder for our children? Or even fighting at all? π
This morning I was minding my own business when a wasp flew behind my sunglasses and stung me in the face. It's been over an hour and it's still throbbing π©
Can anyone recommend noise cancelling headphones that can deal with neighbour's incessant DIY noise. Current ones aren't doing enough and I'm desperate. #AskingAutistics
I genuinely feel like I'm losing my mind. Decision paralysis about the most inconsequential things, losing my words, constant anxiety, inability to concentrate, forgetting things. Please tell me it gets better? #AutisticBurnOut
It's been about a year since I slow motion fell off the autistic burnout cliff, and I'm trying so hard to give myself grace but losing hope that I'll ever get back to that pre-burnout baseline. #ActuallyAutistic
