Since it's technically #MLK day, two relevant quotes

Finding AAC as a verbal/semiverbal autistic

https://anotherqueerautistic.wordpress.com/2018/11/07/finding-aac-as-a-verbal-semiverbal-autistic/

"You don’t need to prove a functioning label (ick) or a perceivable lack of verbal ability or even a formal diagnosis to somehow qualify to use a method of communication that you benefit from. Don’t listen to anyone telling you forcing yourself to speak is better: there is absolutely nothing superior about speech compared to other forms of communication, it’s just that because it happens to work for abled people it has become the societally normed benchmark everyone is supposed to aim for."

Just a regular reminder that "punishable by fine" means "legal for rich people."

Sometimes when it's hard to keep up, it's a better use of your energy to pause instead.

KITTEN.EXE says trans rights, mew

Also for the next two months sales of #secretlittlehaven go to Mermaid and you should check it out, this is Tori's grand accomplishment.

I've known her for years and watched her blossom into a beautiful woman and publish her game despite all odds and she deserves your praise. Also her fursona is so cute!!

moon !!!
took this just now.
had to fiddle with my camera settings (im not sure what i actually did) to get it this clear.

back in elementary school one of my music teachers mentioned female kings or smth and i was like "but queens are girls" or somethin and she was like "if the queen kicks the king's butt she gets to be king" and that's a very powerful message that sticks to me to this day

"Fuck Autism Speaks. Support Autistic Self-Advocacy Advocacy network instead."

THE CREATOR OF DOOM JUST SHOUTED "TRANS RIGHTS" ON HBOMBERGUY'S STREAM https://redd.it/ai3eb9

So I feel like with all the focus on helping trans folks out today, this might be a good time to remind people I still have a fundraiser going for gender affirming surgeries. Please consider donating a few bucks. Thanks! ❤️ #ThanksGraham #TransCrowdFund

If you tell the truth to GIC doctors, don't suddenly be surprised when you're gatekept or simply rejected. UK doctors are miles behind in where they should be and are still tempted to think trans *might* be a fetish. You don't have to create an elaborte lie about your history, just be economical with the truth and scroll your terminology back 10 years.
