We literally cannot let them start charging 80 dollars for video games 70 dollars was already outrageous 60 was pushing it. 80 fucking dollars. ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND. For MARIO?!?!?!?!?

As an autistic trans woman, there is a rhetorical tactic I noticed that is common both in transmisogyny and in ableism towards autistic people. And this is claiming that being transfem or autistic is that something that we can use to excuse our bad behavior, including abuse (here is a transmisogynistic example I talked about before.) This is claiming that the traits that make us socially oppressed actually make us privileged, that makes us allowed to get away with behavior other people get punished for. In this fantasy world, being autistic or transfem as something that gives us power and privilege, like how being cis straight man does in the real one.

And it’s for sure a fantasy, the opposite of the truth. Being transfem or autistic actually makes you a social pariah (unless you pass or mask so well that people can’t tell you are autistic or transfem). We are actually given far less leeway to violate social norms. Harmless things we do, like not looking people in the eye, are harshly punished. And even doing the same social interactions other people do, are seen as predatory if we are visibly transfem or autistic while doing them.

was just fired from my bitch ass job with zero warning and for “reasons” that are actually systemic and/or the fault of my incompetent supervisors but much easier to make me the scapegoat.

“ooh i’m getting all my tattoos removed bc tattoos aren’t cool anymore they’re out of style and no longer match my aesthetic” i’m not gonna mince words anymore if you got tattoos because they were a cool aesthetic and not because you actually wanted them then you’re a fucking idiot

The neoliberal ideology of self-optimization displays religious - indeed, fanatical - traits. It entails a new form of subjectivation. Endlessly working at self-improvement resembles the self-examination and self-monitoring of Protestantism, which represents a technology of subjectivation and domination in its own right. Now, instead of searching out sins, one hunts down negative thoughts. The ego grapples with itself as an enemy. Today, even fundamentalist preachers act like managers and motivational trainers, proclaiming the new Gospel of limitless achievement and optimization.

Still frame from WikiLeaks "Collateral Murder" video, captured moments before U.S. helicopter pilots would go on to kill civilians and journalists in Iraq in 2007 while casually joking about it. Whistleblower Chelsea Manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison, none of the perpetrators were charged

it's interesting how 'mental health' branded apps or 'therapy' online services are without fail so heinous you can clock it from their advertising instantly. the tone they use alone is the same kind of hair raising as when you get to the suddenly perfectly clean settlement in the wasteland and immediately know they're eating people

picrels trying to siphon a little cash from the adhd adult industrial complex by keying into the anxieties of people they're hoping will be enough of a pushover to buy product if you tell them being scatterbrained and having dirty dishes is domestic abuse. neither the first nor the last but notably bold move

love to see all the reasons i as a child with untreated ADHD was called selfish and uncaring re-packaged as me having done emotional abuse. sorry mom and dad for emotionally abusing you when i was 7
