I didn’t know I was masking, after probably 38 years of masking. Some masking was “easy:” don’t talk. Don’t talk because you’ll say something weird that no one will understand; and, that will lead to more talking trying to explain it which will get even weirder. 🧵

It's the penultimate day of #AutisticPrideMonth and one thing we haven't talked much about yet is masking. Dear #ActuallyAutistic friends, can you retweet this and tell us what masking means to you? #AutismAcceptanceMonth

We all need to get better about alt-text, sorry. iOS 15 introduced OCR for images, so it’s even easier to transcribe images from screenshots. Here’s the text in each screenshot in the OP.

He was embarrassed by chattel slavery, and ashamed he was embarrassed. Then he realized he didn’t need to be embarrassed anymore. How did he stop being embarrassed? Blamed it all on Black people. No more embarrassment. He might even get a Vice article out of it.

This woman was coerced by her employer to receive the Pfizer on Saturday. This was her on Sunday. Money ain't worth it, people.

My favorite part is when she says there’s zero evidence… But she believes in God

"There is zero evidence that COVID-19 exists in the world"

Remember when the worst medical misinformation was about mixing pop rocks & Coca Cola?

My child asked me if I’m Autistic. I said probably. My spouse blurted “I’m so sick of everyone diagnosing themselves with Autism”. We are not ok here. I shouldn’t have to hide myself in my own home.

Shutting down is not the same as purposely ignoring someone to be emotionally abusive. Totally different. Many Autistic people and traumatized people shut down, and it’s beyond their control. Nobody ever thinks about disabled people.

shutting down instead of communicating is just as toxic as arguing.



A very eloquent and insightful thread:

Well I think I am on record saying, lovingly of course, @mtosterholm is the the Darth Vader of pandemic. I loved listening to his conversation with @andyslavitt and it made me break out the laptop, settle in, and write this thread. apple.co/3ChXPz7 @inthebubblepod
