HELLO AUTISM COMMUNITY!
I’m sorry, but I’ve gotta rant. The other day I was in New York, and I saw this billboard:
Look a little closer:
Yep, you’re seeing this right. Autism Speaks. On a billboard with Julia. Sesame Street has joined forces with our “pals” (and by pals I mean enemies that we wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole) over at Autism Speaks. Julia, a character who has been embraced and loved by the autism community, is now the face of Autism Speaks, an organization that has hurt our community more than it has helped. I am heartbroken. This character has made me, as an autistic person, so happy and gave me hope that autism is starting to become more accepted by society. And although I don’t speak for everyone in the autism community, I know that there are many people who felt the same way. But now that this character is the face of an ableist movement which pushes the idea that autism is a disease in need of a cure, that hope is gone. PLEASE reblog this to get the word out, whether you’re on the autism spectrum or not.
No that’s a General, a gender is the barrier around the wheeles of a vehicle.
I glad she is comfortable in her own identity and no longer feels isolated because of her sexuality.
This is why representation matters.
I’m about to cry. My 60 year old mother watched a netflix documentary and only just now found out she’s asexual. I’ve been trying to figure out how to bring up this idea to her for years. I am so glad to hear her, she’s so happy and saying “there really is nothing wrong with me!” I didn’t realize it wore on her like that. God bless the internet.
My bosses sometimes will schedule minors for 47 hours a week, with 13+ hour days but they throw in a fifteen minute break just before we hit eight hours so the don’t have to pay us overtime. And we are life guards, we work outside all day every day. We can be out side in 115 degree heat for two hours with a 20 minute break before we’re outside again. And most of the staff isn’t even 18 yet.
There is no part of this diatribe that is not amazing or 100% true.
This picture is depicting the destruction of the temple market. Any one who read the story would know that in this scene in the Bible Jesus fucking destroyed that temple.
Men had turned a holy place of worship into a market which had infuriated Jesus, so he took a whip and drove all the evil men out of the temple, destroyed all of their tables and goods that were being sold, scattered their money, and set their animals loose. Jesus fuckin decimated property in this scene.
So it wasn’t flipping over 1 table he destroyed the place, this was actually a catalyst that caused Jesus to get arrested in the first place.
they “forget” anything that doesn’t benefit their side and push their agenda.

I really want to see more cis boys who like boys being actively supportive of trans boys who like boys bc I’m tired of being afraid to flirt or form friendships with other queer guys bc I don’t know if they really see me as a guy
Actually since it is a religious story they cast Christian and Jewish actors. The animators made sure the characters looked Egyptian but the actors who played these characters were people who knew the religious significance of the characters they were playing.
*pretends to be shocked*
At first I was gonna add something but the conclusion was too perfect
Damn and here I was brushing Kung-Fu Panda off because I thought it was a silly kids film.
imma say it. “kung fu panda” did more for body positivity and saying that you can be fat and still be healthy and liked than ANYTHING any beauty companies trying to get your money.
It’s disgusting, and creepy, and you should have a legit restraining order if you do this.
