I paint mostly in #watercolor
Here are some of my labels:
#agender #aromantic #pansexual #actuallyAutistic #spoonie

i have this theory that all my friends from the internet also exist in real life

The founder of wikipedia has created a new Social Media Platform called WT:Social. Its based on news sharing and conversation and doesn't have ads.

The downside is its not free. either u pay or u r on a waitlist.

I am currently on one. If anyone is interested join using this link

If not boost this post so it reaches people who might be. We really need better platforms for discourse.

I'm gonna keep posting this until one of you fucking boosts it

I've seen exchanges like the following a few times and I just want to vent.

*thread from an areligious but no longer atheist identified individual about how white atheism is kinda full of itself and not great*

*completely un self aware reply along the lines of "wow! I've heard some of this from religious people before but it really means something more from you*

This is still acting in the atheist manner of religious=brain poisoned

by all means be bernie or bust in 2020, or don't uphold the bourgeois electoral system, or whatever else. that's your call, not mine.

but know that if a democrat--even if that democrat is a useless upholder of the status quo like joe biden--does not win in 2020, a lot of people who only survive now because of the government *will* fucking die, just like what happened in the UK when austerity passed.

elections don't go away because you ignore them. the consequences of elections do not go away because you ignore them. you personally might not be affected by four more years of this shit, but a lot of non-white, vulnerable people like me *will*.

my family lives or dies based on food stamps. we already don't eat consistently because even with food stamps we are exceptionally poor. there is no alternative for someone like me. there is no alternative for a lot of people.

as much as white socialists love to equivocate about how both american parties are the same because they're both liberal, capitalist parties, there are very clear material differences in outcomes between the policies of these parties and those material outcomes do fucking matter for people who are otherwise at the fringes of society

you, a fool: you don't hate mondays, you hate ~capitalism~

me, wise: actually i can hate more than one thing at a time due to my Enormous Brain

G'morning all.

How's everyone doing today?

I found a great infographic on birdsite today about how stress levels affect #ActuallyAutistic folks

Here's the infographic: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EKMrd5cUUAEWu6j?format=png&name=large

Here's the thread about it:

I've been working towards something like this for months now, and it's great to find it fully laid out and clearly explained.

I am ecstatic to be back at level 1 (for now!) and able to be fully-functional-for-me

make boomer memes with hidden anarchist messages

@bryceyoungquist someone must've thought of this before 2007 but that's the earliest I can find https://en.uncyclopedia.co/w/index.php?title=Arachno-communism&oldid=1877668
