Quick direct action tips from your friendly local street medics:
- Bring a buddy
- Remove contacts and tampons
- Fill out a jail support form
- Tell someone who isn't in the streets, check in if you can
- Drink water
- Use water ONLY to flush pepper spray and tear gas from eyes

I was TERRIFIED of taking student loans.
After the whole 90s when adults put the fear of god on credit card debt, I assumed I should be avoiding debt forever
And then all of a sudden, every ‘knowledgeable’ adult swore that student loan debt was way different & not a big deal

wrote about the obsession with dividing food into neat categories of "white" vs. "poc," "bland" vs. "seasoned," "mild" vs. "spicy," and how we're stuck performing the same spectacle about what we eat and, thus, who we are bonappetit.com/story/white-p… @bonappetit
I feel a bit awkward when people whose DNIs apply to us interact with our posts. I might consider their initiative implicit consent, but not everyone checks profiles before interacting! Is it better to ignore them? Are there any commonly accepted etiquette guidelines on this? -LB
PSA: "plural" does not mean "person/system with DID/OSDD". It's a long established community term for describing those who experience multiple selves (etc.) in one body. Being plural is a matter of culture and identity, it's not bound to any diagnosis or theory of multiplicity.
I have been seeing pwDID/OSDD angry over "endos" (by which they usually mean any system that doesn't fit their definition of a "real system") identifying themselves as plural. This is both hilariously wrong and ironic given how many pwDID/OSDD hate being called plural!
The sanist way psychology deals with the concept of empathy harms those perceived as "low empathy" regardless of how we actually experience it. Objecting only because that perception is wrong for some is complicity with harming those who do in fact fit the perception. (1/5)
Most conversations on the subject here revolve around people defining empathy to include themselves/their ingroup and arguing against other definitions. They do sometimes agree to shit on antisocial people, and anyone else they consider a "sociopath", including their own! (4/5)

excellent thing to know!
image: photo of a dcpl sign saying "hygiene kits are available here" with a list of things available in the free kits: deodorant, soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrush, hand wipes, socks, as well as menstrual products available on request.
I had managed to ignore this motherfucker (I'm REALLY good at ignoring celebrities) until today. Idgaf what his orientation is or how he dresses, this bullshit is transparently about de-sexualizing queer sex to appeal to a straight audience

So is being called “annoying” a trigger for most of us or nah?
Seems to me like folks love using that descriptor for neurodivergents.
Certainly we’re not incapable of being annoying, but that’s not exactly the whole story.

Good thread on how AAC can benefit semi-speaking/speaking autistics and not only the nonspeaking among us. The boundaries between those categories are not as stable or absolute as most people think!
"Going nonverbal" is the tip of the "mouth words are hard" iceberg for semi-speaking/mostly-speaking autistics. For fully-speaking autistics, that iceberg may be lurking entirely below the surface! #ActuallyAutistic #AAC (1/6)
