everyone talks about autism & having autism constantly on this site . why is nobody talking about Extraordinary Attorney Woo?

it’s the best autism representation(!!!!) i’ve ever seen in my life regardless of television origin and the episodes feel like phoenix wright cases with equal parts comedy and heartwrenching wholesome drama. listen, i love abed nadir as much as you, but this is a HUGE step higher.

don’t have the attention span/time to watch a TV show? there’s a free webcomic adaptation on webtoon!!!

it also has a fantastic english dub for people who aren’t into watchin other language shows!!!

• the main character has autism!!! and is very open about it!!
• she is female!!! a hugely underrepresented gender in autism depictions
• SHE RARELY MAKES EYE CONTACT. she’s sensitive to loud noises!! she has vocal ticks!!! she hates being touched by strangers!! SHE HYPERFIXATES ON STUFF UNRELATED TO HER JOB. the amount of accuracy 1000% convinces me either the show was EXTREMELY well researched or was helped written by someone with autism!!
• SHE’S ALLOWED TO GET ANGRY ABOUT PEOPLE TREATING HER DIFFERENTLY!!! she’s allowed to stand up for herself!!! and it’s almost always represented as a good thing!! her bluntness and unpredictability are also considered strong traits by other characters!!!
• the show openly acknowledges that autism is a huge spectrum and not every autistic person is going to understand/get along with other people with autism!!!
• the romance subplot comes along with her openly stating she’s unsure she’s good enough bc of her autism!!! it also awknowledges how it’s harder for people with autism to get hired!!! it ticks every box in being respectful to our struggles while also telling us we’re worthy of everything anyone else deserves!!!

if anyone hijacks my post to nitpick about the show i’m going to kill you. this is huge for the autism community!!

watch it on netflix!

Tumblr is settling with NYC’s human rights agency over alleged porn ban bias

The ban allegedly affected LGBTQ users disproportionately.

The Verge

Gee, Tumblr would probably really hate it if you shared and spread this damning article … To the surprise of absolutely none of Tumblr’s LGBTQ users, it turns out the independent NYC human rights agency Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) found that Tumblr’s ham-fisted adult content ban in December 2018 disproportionately targeted LGBTQ users. The CCHR’s investigation revealed Tumbler’s moderation algorithms is demonstrably biased against queer content. As part of the settlement, Tumblr was obligated to review their prejudicial anti-gay moderation policies. Even more mortifyingly, they’ve also had to hire an expert on sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) issues and provide unconscious bias training to their moderators. I frankly doubt Tumblr has learned a thing from this humbling experience. Just recently the Tumblr algorithm flagged three ancient posts of mine as violating their terms. All three “offenders” were vintage homoerotic beefcake images (softcore by modern standards) roughly 50 – 65-years-old by Bruce of Los Angeles, Bob Mizer and Tom of Finland. (These are of course pioneering queer artists who routinely faced censorship and imprisonment in the fifties and sixties. Plus ca change!). They’ve been visible on my page - corrupting viewers -  for years at this point. I appealed all three immediately. Only the Tom of Finland one was approved. The other two are now hidden. So, they haven’t learned much. Apparently, Tumblr – who loves to declare how hip, youthful, inclusive and progressive their values are - wants to restore trust with their queer users. I’d recommend we remember their hypocrisy when Pride rolls around and Tumblr splashes rainbow flags everywhere and attempts to pink wash their image.

In honour of Pride Month, this is worth a reblog! Don’t buy into Tumblr’s hypocritical “pink washing.”

seriously have been thinking about this all night long. call me autistic but the fact that 90% of workplaces the point is not to get your work done and then be done doing it but to instead perform an elaborate social dance in which you find something to do even when you’re done doing everything you need to do in order to show your fellow workers that you, too, are Working . because you are at Work . disgusting why cant we all agree that if there is no work immediately to be done. we just dont do anything

ordered pizza from a small local place and they didnt actually cut it so i’ve chosen to revert to a wild animal and begin ripping it apart instead of just using a knife to portion slices

absolutely visceral experience. food is so much more satisfying when you have to fight it. i may be feral

i am not proud to say this but that pizza lasted fifteen minutes. i normally am not that gluttonous, but this goes beyond glutton. there was gluttony and wrath. a whirlwind of sauce, cheese, and pepperoni, all atop a flatbread that was shred apart by my own hands due to the neglect of another

in that moment i was wild. i was free. i understood the simplest joys in life. the joy of eating and manifesting my own destiny

been reflecting on this all day and the unsliced pizza experience honestly ruled. i think everyone should try it sometime or another. you have not truly lived until you just absolutely obliterated a pizza in such a feral manner

is this you

yes

run

My best friend and I have this tradition we call “chicken dinner” where we get a rotisserie chicken, lay it on a tarp, start on opposite ends of the tarp, and on the count of three we both run at the chicken and start ripping into it with our bear hands. We will be on our knees fighting for the best pieces of meat, ripping into the chicken with our faces, and it is the most viscerally delicious chicken I have ever had in my life. Grease gets everywhere. We have to do this outside. We have to tie our hair in buns beforehand.

You have never known the joy of food until you are lunging at your friend to rip the best part of the chicken out of their hand, rolling around on the tarp, stuffing it in your face before they can retaliate, and you realize “holy shit did I just growl?” And then you realize they are doing it too.

The chicken gets decimated. It’s absolutely destroyed. We aren’t allowed back inside until we have been hosed down. It’s the best.

Oh ye of little faith.

People across the street looking through the blinds, “Harold! Harold come quick, they’re doing the chicken thing again!”
