TIL “Yankee Doodle” was written by the British to mock americans. “Doodle” is thought to come from the German “dödel”, meaning “fool” or “simpleton” and “macaroni,” a flamboyantly stylish type of dress, painting the Yankees as morons who thought placing a feather in one’s cap made them a “dandy.”

Guys 🏳️🌈 I’m losing it, I’m close to feeling the way I felt when I was raped, I never planned to be a single mother because I already know from my mom that single parenting is hard, 3 days to when I promised her Mummy’s coming to get her and I still have 0 donation not even a single dollar, and I will never reach out to my rapist/ my daughter’s father for help, I can’t force y’all to help me cause I didn’t work for your money and we all have our demons we fighting, I just really feel like venting, and if you interested in my story to help me get my child, my healing, the full story is pinned on my page, and if not thank you for letting me vent to you my stranger friend, and I’m sorry to reach out to you in an inappropriate way,I told you I’m losing it didn’t I? lol 🏳️🌈🌈
im sorry, i wish i could do something to help, but i have no money.
Not me judging people for not knowing something i leaned 5 minutes ago
If you want an actual response, i can probably awnser a few for you.
-formailites and small talk are seen as signs you want to talk and be around the person as long as possible, to the point where it is the societal norm to act like that, so when you are short and to the point with people, they may take it as a sign you don’t want to spend time with them, or more importantly, because they assume you act with formailties to other people, implying that you want to spend time with everyone else but not them. sorry, that was a really long run-on sentance.
-see above, small talk makes people think you want to spend time talking to and intreacting with them, even if its about inconquential things.
-we usually don’t, your friend WAS probably mad or sad that day and either lashing out or making a pointed comment about something.
-IdK about other people, but its usually not that overwhelming for me, or modt neruotypical people i know. i know people on all ends of the spectrum for stimulation tolerance, from those with sensory disorders to people who regularly go to emo punk concerts. As far as I understand, we arnt very sensitve to oberstimulation comparend to non-neurotypicals. I’ve never been inside the mind lf someone with autism, so I can’t really compare precisely, but it just... dosn’t really affect us nearly as much. loud noises make my ears hurt after a white, and give other people headaches, and going to a raging party can be awful after 3 hours sleep, but its never gotten to the point where i felt like i was gonng to break down, at worst have to gobsomewhere new. when that does happen, i usually just leav and thats about it, maybe lay in a quiet place and enjoy teh scilence.harsh noises can be annoying, but flashing lights have never been a probelm for me. I actually rather enjoy them.
-if you mean why people expect you to act Nt even after they know your autistic, probably because they either dont know the symptoms of autism well, or are uncomftroable with people acting outside their percived “norm”, no matter the reason. or both. why people are uncomftorable with people acting outside the norm, i’m not entirely sure. One theory is because when you avt outside of social bounds, they find it hard to understand you, which causes uncertainty and stress. sor they would rather put you in a box so they can read you. because otherwise they are always unsure of if they read you right ir not. Its not an excuse, but it is an explaination/
-probably for the reasons above, and because fear causes hate.
-because its seen as not working hard enough, and being ”non-American”. -once again, because of fear and intolerance, and not being able to be compassionalte to people you dont understand.
-its considered ’weird’, because its not a tning most neurotypicals do.
hope this awnsered some of your questioons! Sorry this got so long, and for the spelling errors. im on mobile, and I kinda ran outta energy awnsering the last few XD. My brain juice for the day has run out.
Questions for neurotypicals:
- Why is it rude to write short and precise emails? I don't understand why I have to write out a whole paragraph just to tell the teacher my late work will be turned in by the end of the week.
- Why is small talk a thing? I don't understand why I'm supposed to act friendly and like I know someone when I just met them
- Why do y'all take everything we do so personally? Like I suck at telling emotions and I asked my friend if she was mad/sad and she got mad at me for asking
- How do you all deal with awful sensory stuff (flashing lights, harsh noises, etc.)?
- Why are we (neurodivergents) expected to act neurotypical?
- Why do neurotypicals treat diagnosis's such as autism, OCD, and ADHD like a death sentence?
- Why are naps not deemed acceptable in work/school?
- Why do many neurotypicals put neurodivergents at a lower respect? (I.E. call us the R-slur, make fun of us, mock us, etc.)
- Why is stimming not accepted?
Guys what the fuck. This shit is messssed up god damn.

I’ve been scamming the Dominos app promotion where you take a picture of any pizza for free points. For three weeks in row, not only has their shitty camera always interpreted any photo of my cat as pizza, I always tell them it was “the worst I’ve ever had” and “made at home”.
you can only reblog this today
I love this so fucking much

okay not sure how to approach this gently but say that, hypothetically, you own some essential oil sprays purchased from a huge department store chain. and there is a recall because they contain deadly disease causing bacteria that has confirmed deaths and has infected and killed who knows how many people because of how rare and difficult to diagnose it is in the united states:
do not throw out the bottles. do not dump the product in the toilet. do not allow the deadly bacteria into the soil, water supply, or landfills. it is an extreme biohazard. do not throw it out. do not throw it out. do not open the bottles.
put on gloves, double bag it tightly in resealable bags, put it in a cardboard box, and give it back to any of the chain's stores. disinfect everything in the room where it was used while wearing gloves. wash sheets and blankets on hot. consider using bleach.
While remembering the members of the LGBT community who we have lost, it’s also important to remember that we can help our living members as well. Rainbow Railroad is an organization to help LGBT refugees find asylum in countries where their identities are not criminalized. Many countries still have strict laws against being LGBT, and in some countries, it is still punishable by death.
Some people who have immigrated with the help of Rainbow Railroad have said that they heard back within hours of initially reaching out, so the help they receive is immediate. They have different ways that you can help on their website, and of course word of mouth is a very powerful tool.
please help spread the word about the indigenous genocide happening in Brazil TODAY
"Brazilian Supreme Court is about to rule an important decision on Indigenous Lands. Today (July 30th), STF resume the discussion of a lawsuit filed by the state government of Santa Catarina against the Xokleng people, concerning the Ibirama-Laklãnõ Indigenous Land, where Guarani and Kaingang peoples also live. In 2019, the Supreme Court classified the case with the status of “general repercussion”. This means the decision will serve as a guideline for the Brazilian federal government and all judicial instances regarding demarcation procedures. The world must watch this judgment closely. The future of Indigenous Peoples in Brazil depends on it."
"Since June 8, 2021, Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous organizations in Brazil have been in Brasilia, the capital, with the Levante pela Terra (Standing up for the Land) camp, protesting against Bill PL 490, which passed the technical juridical board of the legislative house to be approved on June 24, 2021. Bill PL 490 aims to make the demarcation of Indigenous lands in the country unfeasible and to set the year of the Constitution of 1988 as an arbitrary cut-off date for recognizing Indigenous land rights. If the Bill passes, Indigenous Peoples who were not on their land before 1988, due to various factors including forced removal and lack of legal recognition, would no longer have rights to their traditional territories.
(...)
The Bill opens the gate for development on Indigenous lands, including deforestation for large scale cattle farming, mining leases, the regularization of illegal subdivisions in the territories in favor of land grabbers, and all kinds of large scale infrastructure such as hydroelectric plants, ports, roads, military bases etc. It would legalize operations that greatly impact Indigenous territories without their Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) nor benefit-sharing, and represents a new wave of colonization."
BRAZIL IS AN INDIGENOUS LAND. AND IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN.
THE BILL PL490 IS BEING VOTED TODAY, JUNE 30TH. THE LIVES OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES IN BRAZIL AND THEIR RIGHTS TO THEIR LAND IS IN RISK.
THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO FINISH WHAT THEY STARTED WHEN THE PORTUGUESE INVADED THESE LANDS IN 1500.
please help raising the hashtags #MarcoTemporalNão and #TerraIndigenaFica in your social media. please talk about this.
also check the ABIP (Articulação dos Povos Indígenas do Brasil) website for more information on the indigenous peoples situation in Brazil. the website is available in english and brazilian portuguese.
