Hey #ActuallyAutistic friends, I’m working on some guidelines for the online community I manage, it’s a social justice space, and we want to be a safer space for neurodiverse folks. I can only do so much from my ADHD perspective, 2 questions:
1) What blocks do you encounter in social justice spaces?
2) What would make you feel more seen in social justice spaces?

It’s an online space so it’s all text-based, and we’ll be making 2 guides, 1 for ND folks and one for NT mods and community members to be more supportive.
My DMs are open if you want to share privately. I am totally cool with brain-dumping, feel free to fill up my inbox and don’t worry about translating to NT speak 💜
We focus on white woman-esque folks and unpacking white supremacist patriarchy. One of the things we keep coming up against is the similarity (for NT folks) between ND clarification and NT deflection. Especially when text based.
We do have a time out rule for overwhelm, where if someone calls timeout we’ll close comments on the thread so that they won’t keep getting notifications. A mod or myself will make ourselves available to chat privately with the member if they would like. This seems helpful.
Would appreciate a boost and/or your thoughts friends! @AnaMardoll @NeuroRebel @_ElizabethMay @rhiachilds @rboren @HMS_theartist @blackgirlinmain @alexandraerin 💜

Oh my god. Oh my god this poor dude!!! This is the MY son guy!
This is from his brother apparently. Good grief.

Actually if you check the replies he and his bro seem like nice dudes.

What’s up internet? Do you know your logical fallacies? Gather round for a thread of logical fallacies loosely interpreted as Marvel Cinematic Universe characters through no scientific method other than my whims!
Straw man: misrepresenting someone’s argument in order to make it easier to attack.

Just like Hawkeye has to do.
False cause: presuming a real or perceived relationship between things means that one is the cause of the other.

Like this fabulous Hulk moment.

So, #HimToo is about men being accused of sexual assault?

Cause all survivors would just use #MeToo since “me” would cover all genders.

So people made a hashtag to make this about men who are being accused. Cool, cool, cool.
My mum once ran into Sidney Crosby at an airport and whipped out a picture of me to show him how cute I am. So, I think you could be trying harder here. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don’t have a son, but if I did, and he was accused of sexually assaulting someone, I would look him in the eye and ask him what he had done. And he would know from my face that lying would be the worst choice he could make.
I don’t have a brother, but if I did and he was accused of sexually assaulting someone, I would call him up and say “is it true?” And he would know from my voice that lying would mean the end of our relationship.
I do have a husband, and if anyone accused him of sexually assaulting someone I’d look at him and say “tell me what happened.” And I would know if he was lying in that moment.

Hey new followers. It’s awesome to have you, but there’s been a thing that’s come up more than once in the past week that we need to talk about.

Do not embarrass me in others’ mentions.
You may notice I retweet a lot. I retweet a lot of feminists, a lot of educators, and a lot of really smart people. If you decide to respond to these retweets, please. Please.

Do. Not. Embarrass. Me.
A lot of their statements may have high emotions. This is normal given the state of our world. Do not play devil’s advocate. Do not sea lion. Do not “well but...”. Just don’t.

I never see my husband as emotional as when the Leafs are playing. It’s like a window into a whole other level of dudely feels. 😂
I shall now present you a short gif story of the last 5 mins of tonight’s game. First it was this:
