Thank you but he is not my father, he was married to my grandma so he is my step grandpa. Unless you are using as short for grandpa in that case my bad, English isn’t my first language.

I never got the chance to meet him unfortunately, he died one year before I was born. He was very physically ill in his last years and had a progressive degenerative brain disorder.

We need less inspiration porn and more documentaries that discuss the disgustingly normalized infanticide of disabled kids.

I’m not sure how many times. He did get hospitalized and featured on a newspaper.

At the time he worked in a court as a lawyer if I’m not mistaken. Apparently he had some strong evidence against a guy and so the guy hired a hitman to kill him.

He befriended the hitman because the hitman had nothing against him personally, just doing a job.

My family drops some pretty insane lore from time to time, it’s pretty interesting.

Yeah, mental asylums can be horrible abusive places, my family has some history with them.

My mom’s stepdad was married to a schizophrenic woman in the 80s, long story short, her sanity got worse over time and she started to get violent towards her children, so he sent her to a mental asylum.

I know that she spent at least a year there, mental asylums in Brazil were so bad that my mom’s stepdad started noticing it and got her out. I don’t know a lot about her but I feel so sorry for how she was treated.

She was lucky my mom’s stepdad was a really good person (not exaggerating he literally befriended a hitman who shot him), but not all people had the same luck.

I´m not the biggest fan of modern art, but claiming something is not real art is a trap. It opens the doors for people to start devaluing other art forms and styles.

It starts with modern art, then it´s abstract, suddenly they are coming for anime and bit by bit the art world becomes duller and more restrictive.

FASCISM VS MODERN ART: and why you should support your local modern artist

i’ve noticed a lot of hate for modern art on certain parts of the internet, so i made this as a way to inform people on why hating modern art of the simple reason of “it’s not real art” is bad. I hope you enjoyed this.

I thought it would be interesting to share my perspective as someone who is autistic.

I live in a world that doesn’t make sense to me and as a result, social conventions and constructs seem kinda dumb and pointless. When there is no practical purpose apart from making people conform I’m not going to care for it.

And what’s the most prevalent social construct?

Gender.

As a cis girl who is gender non conforming, I learned over time that being a woman and femininity is basically a role society assigned me to play purely based off my genitals. A role that most of the time I cannot perform well or connect to.

It makes perfect sense to me that some people who connect even less with their role want to break free from it, whether by assuming another role or just giving up on roles entirely.

My experiences are very different from the neurotypical ones, so my worldview is different from the norm. To suggest I’m being brainwashed is simply infantilizing and rich considering that it’s coming from the people who want to brainwash me into following dumb social norms.

In conclusion, gender is dumb and I don’t care for it.

terfs keep mentioning the % of autistics who are trans/nb and that we're 'brainwashed'

and because i'm an asshole, i decided to look into why so many autistic folks are trans/nb. it's not an inaccurate statement, at least the first half, but terfs lie through their teeth so i decided to get to the scientific root of it.

the answer blew my fucking mind.

the study on gender and autism i found said two very specific things about autistic people: we are more mentally resistant to things like social conditioning and binarism. we like our secret third things, y'know.

an excerpt:

“The finding that non-binary identities are most elevated seems to support hypotheses focussed on autistic resistance to social conditioning, which are consistent with existing evidence of the same effect with respect to self-description of sexual orientation. Perhaps elevated rates of trans identity in autism might result from a rejection of the binary cisgenderist norm, which combined with a below-typical concern for social norms could promote the disclosure of the identity.”

94% of autistics surveyed for that paper identified themselves as non-binary.

other studies have found autistic people have higher levels of critical thinking, and require more evidence to maintain or convert to a belief system (hence why many of us eventually fall away from religion) than allistic people.

which means, at least from my perspective, that:

a) the 'brainwashing' terfs are accusing the trans community of inflicting on autistic folks would likely not even work if they tried.

b) the current binary definition of gender flies directly against embedded autistic modes of thinking to begin with.

you cannot brainwash someone into thinking something they already believe.

Probably one of the most personal drawings I have made in a while:

I dislike change, it’s very upsetting for me, one of the reasons as to why being my autism. Unfortunately since I wasn’t diagnosed until this year, I had very little support.

So when my body started changing, I hated it. I hated my breasts so much and I hated wearing bras. They weren’t even that big but felt like a gigantic burden.

Along with it there were sudden changes of expectations that came with femininity. I was being more and more pressured to conform and I couldn’t do it even when I tried.

My clothes were too masculine and not revealing enough. Feminine, appropriate clothing were hell to wear.

The dolls and toys I loved to receive as gifts were replaced by makeup that felt itchy on my skin.

The boys were looking at me sexually and suddenly I saw myself doing my best to cover my body as much as I could.

And these damn breasts, these annoying sacks of fat that made it uncomfortable to run, to lie down, that had to be accompanied by uncomfortable bras…

The symbols of my failed femininity and the loss of my childhood.

My family is still staying in half of the church that wasn’t affected by the bombing because there is nowhere else to stay other than tents. They are limited to one small meal a day and one shower a week. They are sleeping on the floors, but no one can sleep since there is bombing everywhere around them. Even when there is no bombing, they can still hear the loud buzzing sound of the military planes above them, which would keep anyone who hears it awake. Along with everything, My grandma has diabetes and osteoporosis, so she can’t walk. She has to take her insulin medication along with many others; however, she has run out of many of her medications.” Am on my knees requesting for donation. Target $450

I´m sorry for not being able to donate, but I´ll share your ask so it can reach more people.

Today my history teacher revealed that once in Rock in Rio he started a fight because a guy with a swastika tattoo raised a confederate flag in the middle of the show.

My sister is black, that type of stuff makes me so worried about her safety, I’m glad people like him still exist.

Sometimes I encounter someone fingering fruit online (it represents a vagina) and all I can think about while looking is that it’s such a waste of good fruit, do people even eat that after they are done?

Thank you for adding my Kabru edit, I feel so honored right now 😊

My psychologist’s trainee told me that despite me disliking it, eye contact is important for conversations, it shows that you are interested on the other person and that I should try to make it.

And it’s like, sorry, why should I do something that genuinely makes me uncomfortable just for the sake of random neurotypicals feeling more important?

I remember crying while reading the book because of how relatable Will’s arc and insecurities felt to me. Then I checked the fandom to see their thoughts and everyone was insulting him so much. Some takes were just awful…

Like, one of the most important part of this character is that ever since he was young Will was assigned the responsibility of taking care of others. That resulted in him becoming overworked, stressed and very guilty when it comes to things that were out of his control. No kid should be responsible for so much.

And what the fandom does?

Oh yeah, put all the responsibility of successfully and flawlessly taking care of his depressed boyfriend (who clearly needs more support than a single person could realistically give) on this 16 YEAR OLD BOY. And then get mad when he stumbles and call him a terrible human being.

No shit he didn’t succeed, no one would. I feel like if Rick made Will magically cure Nico’s depression with love, people would have complained less. A big part of the solangelo fandom already headcanoned Will as the perfect caregiver who would fix Nico and not have any large struggles of his own. There is a lot of subtle ableism in this fandom.

The moment Rick attempts to write a more realistic relationship between two severely traumatized teenagers, people get mad because Will isn’t the magical solution to all of Nico’s problems.

I’m not dismissing the importance of caregivers, some people do need partners that assume this kind of position and I wouldn’t be that surprised if it ended up being Nico’s case. However it is fucked up to expect this 16 year old to be perfectly ready for something like that at such a young age.

remember when tsats came out and everyone acted like will solace was the devil? that was fucking weird

Dear Friends,

I write to you with tears in my eyes and a heavy heart. After 188 days of displacement, constant fear, and struggling to survive, we managed to escape with our lives and reach Egypt. But the pain didn’t stop there. Just yesterday, we lost my children's grandfather 💔, not due to direct war, but because of malnutrition and the lack of basic life necessities. We couldn’t save him, just as we couldn’t save our home or our dreams.

The rest of my family is still trapped in the war, suffering the same harsh conditions that led to the passing of my children's grandfather. We are here trying to build a new life, but we have lost everything. We lost our home, and my children were deprived of their schools and universities. Even my eldest son, who worked so hard to build his future, lost his job and saw his dreams shattered.😔

We are now in desperate need of your help. We seek to secure a safe home that will provide us and our children with basic needs. Life in Egypt is extremely difficult, and prices are soaring beyond our reach. All we ask for is a chance to rebuild our lives and secure a better future for our children.🙏🏼

From the depths of my heart, I ask you to stand by us in these difficult times. Your support means hope and life to us.🙌🏼🇵🇸

Can’t donate right now but I’ll share.

About me:

I’m Letícia a 17 year old brazillian fan artist. I’m mixed race, autistic, bi and asexual. I can speak 3 languages, Portuguese, English and German.

My main fandoms are Hazbin/Helluva, Monster High, but I occasionally post about other ones like Percy Jackson and Dungeon Meshi.

I post a lot about autism too, since I was recently diagnosed and still figuring stuff out.

Blog rules:

I a minor and I don’t answer private messages from adults, only asks and comments. Don’t message me if you are over 19.

If you are a minor I’m not going to respond on private if you don’t specify that you aren’t an adult in your bio.

Gaza asks, I’ll respond however since I don’t have any sort of income I won’t be able to donate.

If you think I made a mistake please point out politely, I do not wish to fight anyone.

You aren’t going to find AI in this blog, I’m against it.

I don’t like exclusionists, t*rfs and radqueers, if you are one of those, feel free to leave.

Being biromantic is feeling disconnected to both of your communities, because so much asexual content revolves around aromanticism and so much bi content revolves around sex.

Losing the fear of being cringe and finally drawing my ocs smooching is freeing.

Next stop is NSFW (jk)

My grandma (father’s side) is flabbergasted that I don’t want to have children in the future and can’t really understand that she is one of my prime examples as to why I don’t want it.

For starters I’m pretty sure that I got my autism from her, not only because of her hyperfixations but also due to her inability to recognize emotions (that I also happen to inherit).

She had 3 children and was a stay at home mom, meaning she spent a lot of time with them, yet my father constantly felt emotionally neglected by her. She just cannot grasp other’s emotions, it flies over her head.

I also feel neglected by her, I had dinners with my cousins and her, where my cousins were making fun of the people I love. I was getting upset and telling them to stop but since they wouldn’t listen I started having a shutdown. All she could understand was that I was upset based on my facial expressions, but she couldn’t figure out why, even though she was right there the whole time.

I don’t want a kid knowing that I might not be able to give them the emotional support they need.

Hello, I hope my message finds you well
