Just name if Final Fantasy 7 - Remake part 1/2/whatever… or something.
I’m not gonna buy this shit cause the prices are fucking stupid, but it’d still be nice to be able to keep track of this shit in a way that makes sense to human brains.
I know what ableism is & educate true ableism. I also know the damage to the community that the 'ableist police Karens' do
Here I sit in a motorized wheelchair, hooked up to a feeding tube pump, with a pump in my abdomen & cath in my spinal column that delivers medication to my brain and an anti-ableist 'police' Karen came at me in a DM over a gun violence boost
When I wouldn't engage, it abused two of my HashtagGames tags with a lecture & a 'take a look at yourself' with a misquote
2/2
Just to be clear, I don't send my followers after anyone. Many of my followers are people that live with invisible disabilities and mental health challenges and they're tired of the inequality within the disabled community as well. They categorize it as Ableism just as I do. It's their prerogative to challenge what they see as Ableism and I have no control over that. People with MI challenges are not criminals or abusers. Criminals or abusers come from all walks of life, backgrounds and health circumstances.
The claim that I attacked both hashtags saying "take a look inside" was not directed at this individual but, the original poster and everyone else who feels it's okay to make derogatory comments about people with invisible disabilities and mental health challenges. Someone has definitely misinterpreted but, it wasn't me. The post reference about "take a look inside", is linked to the post above.
Regarding health issues: I'm not very far behind the description of the health issues noted in this post. I have two brain injuries, a spine injury, multiple orthopedic disabilities, autism, fibromyalgia, and a host of other disabilities. Apparently secret posts of misinformation has resulted in "cancel culture". As long as these things continue, right wing fascists will continue to be victorious.
@OutOfExile_IDR_Voice@paul@disability@disabilityjustice@MadMovementMastodon I read it as an adjective rather than a noun: referring to a person who is simultaneously a criminal and mentally ill and a drug addict and a wife abuser. It reads to me like it's meant to be a list of risk factors for violence.
Who has what disabilities is irrelevant.
The ableist part is using mental illness as shorthand for predisposed to violence.
#Autistic special interests are really about hierarchy of motivations…
I spend a lot of my time being pissed off at interruptions/intrusions/diversions to whatever I happen to be focussed on in that moment, however compelling or tedious it happens to be.
If, however (as just happened), someone asks me a question about stationery, or dog breeds, or the astronomical tides, or the philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement, I’m going to drop literally ANYTHING else I’m doing to deal with that.
The dodgiest example of this is when I’m driving, and I see someone walking an interesting dog… 8-|
And now I consciously understand how it works, I see that I intuitively have been working it against fellow monotropic neurodivergents my whole life - parents, siblings, colleagues and PhD supervisors - to derail their efforts to talk about things I don’t wanna talk about. 😳
@drandrewv2
I am known to drive of the road in order to engage with what the person in the other seat is trying to tell me. 🤣 (noone got hurt)
But really if I did not have uninterrupted space to myself, I'd never get anything done. My self defense is to make people around me engage with whatever I happen to be focused on at the time. Can be annoying I guess, but can also create intense closeness. It's a lifetime of learning how to respect these things, both inside myself as in others and find wise ways to deal with it socially. @actuallyautistic
Fisted my way out of Tartarus and found a new fwend. I came really close to defeating it, we were both at near death and in the end I was the one that was bested. Oh well, completed a prophecy and became one achievement richer!
Pattern brain:
Why the rush to a new hashtag when #ActuallyAutistic has been in use for ten years and is understood across every platform in use now?
Rude brain:
Why did all the cool kids get up and decide to sit at a new lunch table when the poor weird kid who was raised in a cult sat down with them?
When I 1st came here I assumed #ActuallyAutistic was gatekeeping & didn't interact until I saw the tag explained. Most weeks since I've seen posts assuming the same.
But like many of us I'm fond of the AA tag, plus change is... unappealing.
Then I saw a couple of posts under #AllAutistics & got quite anxious we'd go through the pain of change but end up with another problematic tag.
When I read the AA tag for the 1st time I had no idea what it meant so I looked online. I understand the wish to have a new # because of the gatekeeping aspect but I have seen several new ones today + groups and it’s confusing.
As mentioned in the initial post of this thread the # is used everywhere online since 10 years, so I will continue, for myself, to explain its meaning to people wondering about it. 😊
No one cares about Hunter Biden. The pro-second amendment right wing wants every criminal, mentally ill, drug addict, wife abuser to have access to AR-15's EXCEPT Hunter Biden.
So hypocritical
@jackhutton
Every "mentally ill"?! I'm not part of the red gang or the blue gang but, this is an absolutely archaic ablest attitude and statement. Every "mentally ill"? Every mentally ill what? Health conditions are not what kills people.
@elonjet Has anyone tried calculating the carbon footprint of Elon's private jet flights alone? Because it really makes me feel like anything I do to reduce my own footprint is cancelled out by his (and presumably his other billionaire buddies').
Looks less likely I'll get an Autism assessment having just had a letter saying they're now running a triage service and I have to contact then if I want to be put on the list to be seen by them, and if they decide I need an assessment then I'll be put on the currently 20 month long waiting list for an assessment...
Proof that education is no guarantee of intelligence or wisdom:
"the new process, intended to ensure library books are inclusive, appears to have led some schools to remove thousands of books solely because they were published in 2008 or earlier."
@elonjet Let us know if you see Musk's plane headed toward Moscow since Kim Jong Un is meeting with Putin and Elmo won't want to miss out on the party, no doubt.
