With ADHD, a lot of what we do or go through can be misinterpreted - by others but also by ourselves if we get told something often enough. This is the first part of my series hoping to clear up wrong assumptions and to help you find the words to communicate. Hope they help! ✨

In the past 5 yrs, over 700 ppl w/disabilities were murdered by their parents/relatives/caregivers. Today the disability community is paying homage to those victims through Day of Mourning vigils. Alongside honoring the victims, we intend to bring attention to this serious issue.

Today is disability day of mourning. I’m mourning the disabled people who didn’t survive this pandemic. I’m mourning the fact that we live in a society that often treats disabled people like afterthoughts. I’m mourning living in a world willing to accommodate everyone but us.

TW: death Disability Day of Mourning is why disabled people fight so fervently to have our experiences heard above those who seek to erase us by perpetuating harmful stereotypes because they “have a disabled family member.” They deserved life no matter the stereotypes.

Nothing has changed. In the 20th century Black people who spoke against racism were blamed for being “divisive” too—even though it was white society who made people enter the same building through separate doors & arrested anyone who violated the policy.

This whole thread is an excellent read-if you as a researcher want to claim to be helping autistics you need to talk with #ActuallyAutistic people and learn what our needs and wants are, rather than assuming our goal is to pretend to be like non-autistics causing #AutisticBurnOut

"Though the history of closed captioning has largely been framed as a history of legislative changes for accessibility and technological progress that turned captioning decoder set-top boxes into decoder chips, it is also a social history. Captioning emerged out of protest."

Time travel is always developed as society crumbles, prompting the rich to flee into the past. There they assume positions of power, which makes the timeline even worse, while also speeding up the development of time travel. Each loop is shorter and nastier than the one before.

White feminism be like: this girl boss was an almost Olympian but was unfortunately kïlled for being a Nazi…
