A PSA: How To Talk About Autism If You Are Not Autistic
As a result of Autism Acceptance/Awareness Day/Week/Month, there are a lot of articles floating around the internet about autism, written by non-autistic people. While I have absolutely no doubt that these people are well-intentioned, I cannot help but be peeved off by the way that they write about something that they know very little about. I could be forgiven for being less forgiving about these people that think they’re doing us a favour...

So, I just wrote that big thing on‘progressive’ white America’s modern view of the chattel slavery of African Americans, and I have deiced, on behalf of all white people, we need to stop lying to each other. Teachers, tour guides, even just random people, when they get asked“Was Master X nice to his slaves” or“But most slaves were treated well, right?” Need to uniformly answer“No.”
No owner ever treated a slave well. Not George Washington, Not Thomas Jefferson, not your potential...

Hasn’t Mark Hamill been playing The Joker for 20 shitzillion years? How come he never got“consumed” by the role?
cause hes not an ass
seriously–that’s one of my favorite things. while jared leto is over there talking about how playing a PG-13 Joker has irreparably turned him into a dark and twisted psychopath, mark hamill, who has played the meanest and scariest versions of the joker for years, is running around being an actual ray of human sunshine.
Tomorrow is National Rromani Day!
This is a reminder that-
Rromani are a diasporic people from south asia, mostly scattered across Europe.
Rromani are treated appallingly through out Europe- sterilizations, segregated education, mass evictions, attempted mass deportations of actual citizens, illegal registries made by governments to track peaceful Rromani citizens, and not surprisingly crime against Rroma often goes unpunished. Oh, and these are the current issues.

Hinder: a dating app that matches you with dates in progress nearby so that you can cockblock them
That would be an amazing idea for people who want to end a bad date or feel unsafe but don’t have people to call them or to hijack their date. Got an hour to kill? Ruin local dates near you! Great acting practice! Are you the old high school friend? The ex? The “SO” their cheating on? The online friend who didn’t realize you both live in the same cit...
I am always weirded out...
…When I encounter the ‘dumb cheerleader’ stereotype in media, because basically every cheerleader I ever met was an overachieving meganerd. Like in high school, the college bowl team and the math society had significant overlap with the cheer squad roster. Both the Valedictorian and Salutatorian when I graduated were cheer squad.
Half the squad in college were pre-med, aiming to get into sports medicine, because surprise, cheerleaders get all the same in...

Doing your best is important, and small dog appreciates that. :D For if you’ve been feeling down recently.

This may shock you: Hillary Clinton is fundamentally honest- The Guardian[..As an editor I’ve launched investigations into her business dealings, her fundraising, her foundation and her marriage. As a reporter my stories stretch back to Whitewater. I’m not a favorite in Hillaryland. That makes what I want to say next surprising.
Hillary Clinton is fundamentally honest and trustworthy.
The yardsticks I use for measuring a politician’s honesty are pretty...
