I’m autistic, but I’m definitely reblogging, because by not hiring disabled actors, creators/producers/studios are contributing to the large amount of disabled people living in poverty. 

just to be clear, the fact that music was nominated for a golden globe is absolutely disgusting. every single (adult) involved in that gross, ableist movie should be sickened by themselves.

for those of you who don't know, music (2021) is a movie being directed by sia about a nonverable autistic girl. not only does it not include any actually autistic people in the movie itself but it also only took advice from autism speaks which is looked at as a hate group by the majority of the autistic community. leaked scenes have also shown the movie glorifying prone restraints which are incredibly dangerous and have resulted in major injuries and even death to disabled people as recently as last year.

autistic people just like me have been incredibly outspoken about how harmful this movie is but the allistic have been mostly silent. we are already seeing reviews calling this movie 'inspiring' and important' and it's absolutely horrific! we need your help calling this out. please stand with us and call out this disgusting display of disrespect to autistic folks.

p.s. please, please reblog if you aren't autistic.

Exactly. The amount of vitriol and victim blaming political lesbians lob at bi women is disgusting. Then they falsely claim we’re the one’s holding back feminism.  

some of the people on here aren’t even trying to hide how much they hate bi women anymore and it really shows.

Prayers were dead songs lodged in my head, soothing, routine words that meant less to me than they should have.

This is sad. 

Thought I’d share this with Floralia being upon us, which also overlaps with Beltane.

When I see this statue, I can’t help but remember Kate Quinn’s Empresses of Rome series.

So true.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Roman history is like a bottomless well, interesting but very exhausting

Just goes to show New Orleans has always had lax alcohol laws. 

Prohibition agent Izzy Einstein bragged that he could find liquor in any city in under 30 minutes. In Chicago it took him 21 min. In Atlanta 17, and Pittsburgh just 11. But New Orleans set the record: 35 seconds. Einstein asked his taxi driver where to get a drink, and the driver handed him one.

Yes!

IT IS OFFICIALLY CHRISTMAS SEASON AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS
