it’s funny and deeply frustrating that our society believes it’s complicated to figure out if someone is autistic, ND, or NT when honest answers to just a few questions could tell you definitively bc every group thinks fundamentals of the other groups’ brains don’t even exist
Not all cops push senior citizens to the ground! The rest of them step over his unmoving body while blood spills from his ears so they can go arrest peaceful protesters
Seattle lifted their curfew, cops haven’t tear gassed or shot at anyone, and protests are still completely peaceful at midnight. Wow it’s almost like if the police don’t attack, protests don’t magically turn into riots when the sun goes down
If you don’t understand why every sex worker hates Bella Thorne’s stinky guts and how she endangered the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of creators, let me explain it for you! First, Bella Thorne made an OF & made $1m in her first day. This isn’t the bad part.
remember that wild news story around ten years ago about the guy who did a bunch of bath salts, attacked a random guy, and ate his face off? did you know he wasn’t actually on bath salts? yeah the cops made that up to justify more drug arrests. he ate that guy’s face 100% sober
They make $1 per hour plus a $2-5 per day flat rate and are barred from becoming firefighters after release because firefighters must have EMT certification, which people with felony convictions aren’t allowed to get. It’s a $100 million per year slavery ring in California

i find it really disrespectful that the headlines say Amanda Bynes was "found" naked and alone and "placed" on a psychiatric hold - removing her agency. she was able to recognize that she was in psychosis, ask someone for help, and call 911 herself. that's fucking impressive
Amanda Bynes has been placed on a psychiatric hold after she was found roaming the streets of Los Angeles naked and alone, TMZ reports.
She reportedly waved a car down and told the driver she was having a psychotic episode, then called 911 herself.
buying a girl’s onlyfans vs looking at her leaked onlyfans is the difference between being in a girl’s room while she undresses for you vs standing outside her house peeking through the window with your dick in your hand while she undresses for someone else
In Santa Monica at the pier there was a 100% peaceful protest happening and the cops came in, surrounded everyone, announced a 4pm curfew, and then tear gassed them. It’s 3:20. It’s not about people not “obeying.” They’ll tear gas you no matter what you’re doing.
just saw a tiktok asking if it’s cheating if your partner turns to someone besides you for emotional support about an issue at work and not only is it incomprehensible to me how that could be cheating but it also sounds objectively great. i’m glad your pal could handle this one!
Now a lot of people fundamentally do not care about this predicament bc you don’t care about the lives and livelihoods of sex workers. And yet you still want to see porn, you just don’t believe the people who create it deserve to survive. You’re a bad person and fuck you.
Previously, the funds you made on OF were only pending for a week, so most creators got paid at least once a week. Imagine suddenly going from a weekly paycheck to a monthly paycheck. That’s what’s happening to 450,000 content creators.
People have bills to pay. Kids to feed. Many people, including content creators and sex workers, live paycheck to paycheck. How are they going to pay their bills this month? How are they going to feed themselves and their families? This is REAL HARM.
Then, she sent out a $200 PPV message that she claimed was a nude photo but when subscribers paid to open it, they found it was a lingerie photo. Seeing as she SCAMMED them, they wanted their money back and OF has a policy that you get your money back if you get scammed.
So suddenly a fuck ton of people ask for a charge back and this causes problems for OnlyFans bc they have processing costs, so people suddenly requesting millions in chargebacks makes them lose a lot of money.
To be able to pay all those people back and prevent such a massive chargeback problem in the future, OnlyFans changes their policies so now the maximum price for a PPV message is $50, maximum tip someone can send is $100, and all the money you make on OF is pending for 30 days.
Bella Thorne is one of these people. Bella Thorne does not care if sex workers can make money, if they can survive, if they can get respect for their work. She thought it would be fun to wade into our life carelessly and in doing hurt our ability to provide for ourselves.
Is it worth it to you to sell videos of yourself sucking dick for a maximum of $32? Can you make a living at it? What if you used to sell them for $150 or $200, can you survive a paycut like that? Could YOU at YOUR job survive a sudden 85% paycut & monthly payday?
Now about the $50 PPV and $100 tip cap. I’ve seen people who are not sex workers saying this seems “reasonable” bc you are ignorant morons talking on something you don’t understand. Sex workers don’t get paid hourly. You make larger amounts inconsistently.
She didn’t think about us as real people or about sex work as a real job. She SCAMMED people, which leads to the spread of a dangerous and unfair stereotype that sex workers are scammers even though every content creator I know works their ass off & cares about providing value.
i saw a tiktok from a woman whose son is autistic, has high support needs, & will need 24/7 care for the rest of his life. someone told her “well i know an autistic guy who is a lawyer and has a house, never give up!” she was understandably frustrated by the lack of understanding
And while you’re here, SUPPORT SEX WORKERS. If you watch porn, make it ethical porn that the creators get paid for. Free porn is usually just stolen content posted without consent. Don’t support that just bc it’s free. Entertainers deserve to be paid for our work.
PPV messages are frequently used by sex workers to sell more explicit content. Let’s say you’re selling a video of you sucking your boyfriend’s dick. If you sell that for $50, OF keeps 20%, so you get $40. BUT you have to pay taxes on that. Maybe you get $30-32.
People can make different kinds of content as sex workers. I make a lot less explicit content than some of my friends just bc I have my own comfort level I stick to. I don’t care if people make OnlyFans and post lingerie pics only. But you don’t scam & you don’t feel superior.
There has been a huge backlash and OF might be backtracking on some of these policies. It’s hard to know bc they frequently dismiss sex workers’ concerns and many SWers already have a hard time getting their money from OF. But the outrage might help so join us & get pissed off.
No judgment on how anyone copes with their pain but crying while saying swipe up might be the single most perfect distillation of the culture of 2020. this should be preserved for the historical record
I’m doing a Fuck Bella Thorne 50% Off Sale on my OnlyFans for the next 50 subscribers, which you get hundreds of pics and videos for $9.99! If you’ve never subbed to an OF before I hope this helps you take the plunge!
amanda bynes demonstrated a really impressive level of self awareness and commitment to her mental health. she's clearly been doing the work - she understands her illness, checks in with herself, and probably had a plan for how to seek help once she recognized signs of psychosis
“I have a Black husband” Karen screamed and cried after the man she called the N word and threatened with her car started filming her. And what did the white men around do? Come to her defense. This is why white woman tears are so dangerous. This behavior is inexcusable

@drcarlhart
. The police lied so they could expand their war on drugs and lock up more people for the crime of putting a substance into their own body. Miami outlawed bath salts because of this incident that didn’t involve bath salts
the media unquestioningly spread this complete fabrication by the police and basically overnight brainwashed all of us into believing this new piece of propaganda that was immediately used to expand the war on drugs and give police more power. it was that easy and that fast.
a man got his face fucking bitten off and the cops immediately used him to get more power over us and we supported it. that’s the takeaway. all of our brains have been filled with completely false war on drugs propaganda but we still think we can believe what we know about drugs.
even if they did throw them I’m not sure why a few people throwing apples at cops in full riot gear holding shields would justify teargassing an entire crowd of people but hey I’m not a piece of shit
a month later, the tox screen came back and revealed absolutely no bath salts. the only drug in his system was a trace amount of marijuana that indicated it was less recent usage and he was not under the influence during the attack. it had nothing to do with drugs whatsoever.
hey just fyi if you are continually struggling with your health and you keep seeing your experiences reflected in disability spaces but you’re worried about calling yourself disabled because you don’t want to claim an identity that isn’t yours - that’s a narrative by abled people
i know people are really trying to change Autism Awareness Month to Autism Acceptance Month but honestly, i don’t love it bc it still feels negative to me. it’s setting the bar too low. it’s like Put Up with Us Month. we’re fucking cool as hell, i want Autism Pride Month
it’s not an accident that you’re seeing a surge in “you can’t self-diagnose autism” takes at the same time that medical diagnosis of autism is becoming more dangerous and being written into anti-trans laws as a way to justify denial of healthcare. it’s not a coincidence.
@LAPPL
you guys acting like you investigate rapes is fucking insulting. stop using rape victims as pawns when you do NOTHING for us. and yes i know from personal experience with the LAPD.
the tox screen clean for bath salts barely made the news. the media outlets that made us believe a lie didn’t issue retractions and apologies, they moved on. the mission had been accomplished. the cops and media got what they wanted at the expense of the victim & the public
75% of people with astigmatism are autistic, 90% of autistic people can be accurately identified by a distinctive pupil response, and we’re still diagnosing autism by observing behavior and deciding how weird it looks to neurotypical people 🥲
@erikaheidewald
ASTIGMATISM? You mean there's yet ANOTHER criterion for autism that I happen to meet of which I had no previous knowledge or awareness?
Shit came close though bc they put on their gas masks and almost tear gassed everyone at 10pm because people were passing around a box of apples and the cops thought they were gonna throw them. They were just snacks 😐
instead of recognizing those accomplishments, these headlines portray her passively, as if all of this happened to her without her participation. they make it sound like she needed the police to decide how to handle her crisis and she played no role in that decision process
people sit in prison because we refuse to question our fundamental beliefs about drugs and confront the truth that the entire war on drugs is based on lies. we have to stop trusting what we think we know. that sober face eater had probably needed mental help for a long time
Derek Chauvin was 100% sure he could murder a human being on camera and get away with it because George Floyd was a Black man and Chauvin was a cop. Policing rests on that belief and they're going to fight hard to restore that “order.” This is a pivotal time to push forward
ok i think y’all get the point now so if anyone else comments something like “it was more comforting to believe the lie” or “how is this supposed to make me feel better” it is 100% your fault if i am mean to you. i don’t want you to be comforted i want the war on drugs to end
that's disrespectful and it's dangerous because it reinforces the idea that people with mental illnesses don't deserve agency. it's a dehumanizing and carceral way of thinking aligned with conservatorships and institutionalization.
1. Bella Thorne is trash for scamming and ruining OnlyFans
2. OnlyFans is trash for changing policies for everyone instead of banning her
3. Her subscribers are stupid and y’all should have just subscribed to actual sex workers and you wouldn’t get scammed
having a well-managed mental illness doesn't mean you're cured & will never experience symptoms again. having a well-managed mental illness means you've been able to foster the self awareness, acceptance, & skillset you need so you know what to do when those symptoms arise
Many neurodivergent people don't know this but you should not be honest on your resume, in your interview, and most certainly not on any kind of personality assessment test if you have to take one. Make yourself sound extroverted, energetic, a golden retriever who loves to work
i think we should recognize and respect how quickly amanda bynes was able to get herself the help she knew she needed and i hope when she's doing better and looks back on this situation, she doesn't feel ashamed to have an illness and instead feels proud of how she handled it
I extended my 50% off sale bc it sold out in four hours 🥺❤️ This change has led to a lot of anxiety about how I’m going to pay my bills so the support really means a lot, thank you so much!
All dudes being like “no I really don’t care” - then you absolutely have some horrifying unexamined conservative beliefs. Everyone does if they haven’t taken the time to educate themselves.
she was talking about how people don’t believe that autistic people like her son exist & the comments are full of moms commiserating and sharing similar experiences. i believe them i’m just so confused bc in my experience usually people think all autistic people are like her son
And personally I just can’t be two months into a relationship again and hear my boyfriend say he watched a Jordan Peterson video and thought he made some good points so you Apolitical Andys can get outta my mentions
it breaks my heart when people describe their autistic meltdowns as “anger problems” and won’t believe me when i tell them that they’re experiencing involuntary neurological events and it’s not their fault. the shame is so deeply ingrained that they truly believe they deserve it.
reminder that california has 66x as many people as wyoming but only 18x as many electoral college votes. basically everyone in wyoming’s votes get counted three times :) the electoral college is voter suppression and this isn’t real democracy
i have never met any. personally i only know highly sensitive empath pixie nerds with ADHD, OCD, sensory processing disorder, hypermobility, MCAS, C-PTSD, astigmatism, food sensitivities, dyslexia, dyscalculia, & auditory processing disorder who hate small talk and love analogies
saw a tiktok sharing “five signs you may be a deep feeler” like “you can get overwhelmed by sensory stimuli like strong smells” & “sometimes you feel like an alien” and i am begging undiagnosed autistics to deal with their internalized ableism and stop inventing these euphemisms
holy fucking shit. so Officer Chauvin didn’t pick someone at random to murder, he selected someone he knew and he killed him on duty because he knew he could simply accuse George Floyd of resisting and get away with it
Andrea Jenkins, vice president of Minneapolis City Council, says George Floyd and Officer Chauvin worked at restaurant near Third Precinct.
"They were coworkers for a very long time."
You know what’s funny is I tried not to be weird my whole life so I would have friends and now I'm my weirdest self and I have the best friends I've ever had
it’s a lot more common in my experience that people refuse to believe that someone who’s autistic could be a lawyer or own a house because they think autistic people need 24/7 care and anyone who can communicate and doesn’t have high support needs isn’t really autistic.
The ONLY thing she was worried about was being filmed and exposed. She didn’t care that she called a Black man the N word and terrified him, or that this exact shit has gotten so many Black men killed. They all need to be filmed. Expose them all
White racist men tried to lynch a Black man in my hometown of Bloomington, Indiana last night at Lake Monroe and the DNR refused to make any arrests despite having video and eyewitness evidence. This is fucking horrifying.
I’d seen videos of Elijah McClain and knew how sweet he was but I just read the transcription of his last words, recorded on the cops’ body cameras as they murdered him and it’s the most devastating thing I’ve ever read. We have to get justice for him.
so if people don’t believe autistic people with high support needs exist and they also don’t believe autistic people without high support needs exist, who do they believe exists?? what kind of autistic people are generally accepted by the public as existing??
someone really just said to me that cops have to be at protests because “what if someone comes and shoots at the protesters.” umm people have been shooting at the protesters. the cops. the cops are shooting them.
Unemployed people aren’t leeching free money. They’ve been paying taxes their entire working lives that create this benefit. Basically everyone who works and pays taxes pays for unemployment insurance and when you need it, you collect your payout. That’s how it works.
Sign this petition to urge California to ease restrictions that bar people who worked on fire crews while incarcerated from becoming firefighters after release
i don’t know the answer to these questions but it leads me to draw a couple conclusions:
1) autistic representation and the public understanding of autism is problematic as a whole and we should work together, not at cross-purposes,
2) The Good Doctor should be canceled
if you think selling nude photos is selling your body but lifting heavy boxes for $9 an hour all day for a billion dollar corporation isn’t - you might be fucking brainwashed :)
i made a tiktok about how neurodivergent people recognize each other even before we know what it is we’re noticing and i’ve gotten a couple comments “informing” me that not all neurodivergent people get along .. yeah no shit. i never said we do. this interaction is proof we don’t
