It Has Been Over 200 Days Now Since She Was Murdered At The Hands Of Louisville Police.

Oooo I like this!!!

i feel like tumblr would really benefit using tone indicators. a lot of people may use them, but i havent seen a lot of it! as a neurodivergent, it helps us understand the tone of what you're saying. sometimes it's hard to tell whether you're actually mad, or it's just lighthearted, or if you're being sarcastic!

here's a chart of tone indicators if you're interested in using them:

also: please do not use any of these as a joke. do not put /srs if you are not being serious. these tone indicators are supposed to be helping neurodivergents and neurotypicals alike.

What’s happening to autistic people right now?

(Trigger warning for abuse, electroshock therapy, torture, and ableism.)

The US court has overturned the ban on shock devices being used against disabled students, predominantly autistic students in the US.

The shock device being legalized is called the graduated electronic decelerator (or GED). This is a torture device that is used to ‘correct’ autistic behaviors / symptoms. Autistic people are shocked for stimming, and for having meltdowns, ect. This device was made popular by a behavioral center (the Judge Rosenberg Center, specifically) that is infamous for its abuse and torture of autistic / disabled patients.

(Image ID: someone is holding their arm out and resting it on a table, with their sleeve rolled up. Attached to their arm are wires, which connect to a small cube device.)

This is what the device looks like. It sends electric shocks into the victim’s skin; the victim often being restrained and held against their will. This is torture. GEDs have been reported to cause intense psychological trauma, PTSD, and physical injuries.

In March of 2020, the FDA ruled for GEDs to be banned. (Although, of course, they were still illegally used at a number of places.) This ruling has recently been appealed, and today, the US court of appeals has re-regulated the law to stop the use of GED. Sounds great, right? It would be!

... If not for a huge loophole in the wording, which basically allows this torture to continue. This device is going to have continued use on autistic students in order to “correct their behavior.”

“So.... What can I do??”

Great question! You can:

Listen to and boost autistic voices to spread awareness

As-of now (July 7th), autistic activists are trying to get #StopTheShock trending on Twitter, so Tweet out the hashtag if you have Twitter

If you’re in the US, email / call your legislators

Sign this petition if you’re in the US

Follow this case and look out for updates

If Autism Speaks (known ableist hategroup) says anything about this, DO NOT BOOST IT

That’s all! Thank you. Reblogs are very appreciated!!

TLDR: russian mentally disabled trans femme needs financial help to start their transition and seek political asylum in a safer country

Hello! My name is Rodya, I’m an 18 year old nonbinary trans girl (they/she) living in Moscow, Russia. Clearly, growing up in an oppressive violent state while also being marginalized, ostracized and struggling with discovering my gender identity without really having resources to explore it or a support system to help me throughout the way has been a challenge and has left me mentally scarred, fragile and without much energy to function. Adding on to the everyday discrimination and fear of hatecrime a trans femme person would get in an eastern european post-soviet country, there is a feeling of gut wrenching anxiety brought by new transphobic laws a senator called Elena Mizulina is trying to approve. You can read more about them here:

Russia has a new draft law with major consequences for transgender people — Meduza

A group of representatives from the Federation Council want to ban transgender people in Russia from marrying. They also want to make it mor

The domestic violence I went through combined with severe levels of stress and also genetical predisposition to mental illness made me pretty much disabled. I suffer from a debilitating dissociative disorder called DPDR, as well as BPD, ADHD and Mixed Anxiety Depressive Disorder. So I’m asking for help as I’m unable to get the money elsewhere and these funds are crucial for my existence - gender dysphoria and living in a very transphobic environment are both things that can be fixed or alleviated and transitioning + immigrating would help me get on track start a normal, fulfilling life - what I’m going through now feels like mere survival. Anyway, on a more practical note, $2000 of the money I’m looking to raise would go to funding laser hair removal sessions, a medical commission that would give me permission to change my gender marker in my ID, booking an HRT (hormone replacement therapy) appointment with a trans friendly endocrinologist and buying the hormonal medication itself. The rest is more indefinite and I might raise the amount once I figure things out but basically, these funds would go towards me seeking political asylum in the USA, Canada or Europe and surviving there for the first few months while I wait for a work permit and look for a job. Love and warmth!

Im feeling scandalous, wanna do some...

Premarital handholding?

To the man I knew as “Flowerman” until I learned your name was Bennie.

Your name was Bennie Edwards. I bought flowers from you when I worked near your favorite corners. You always had a smile on your face. I gave you extra money during cold months and asked where you were staying. “Don’t you worry, sweet girl I will be just fine!”

Bennie Edwards was a lovely man who struggled with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Yesterday he was agitated and in distress OUTSIDE a business and the business owner called the police. Five cops showed up and circled Bennie. Bennie yelled for them to leave him alone. He had a small pocket knife. He gestured at the cops with it and they tazed him and used pepper spray. This agitated Bennie further and he began to run. He was shot. So this sixty year old man turned and ran from the police and he was shot four more times in the back. IN THE BACK. They did not move to help him as he lay on the pavement. All of this was captured on cellphone footage and confirmed by witnesses. The cops are saying he ran at them with a weapon. They handcuffed Bennie’s dead body and yelled at him to get up.

Mental health professionals and care workers have to subdue agitated sometimes ARMED and VIOLENT patients EVERY DAY. FUCK the cops for their continued display of cowardice and cult like gang protection of each other and their power. They are not interested in protecting and serving the most vulnerable people in this world. The community gathered to demand answered and mourn Bennie and got PEPPER SPRAYED.

Black Lives Matter. ACAB. If those two expressions bother you don’t fucking follow me. I’m sorry, Bennie.
