“[Ford said] ".. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur. "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford. "It is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"

I feel this so hard. Why can't people just be clear about what they want?

When minority groups are facing a decline in their well-being due to real problems that affect their group, no amount of positive thinking will make that go away.

It is completely unreasonable to ask people to think positively about their lack of privilege in a situation.

RIP Donald Triplett (1933–2023), who at the age of 5 became the first person to be given the newly-conceived diagnosis of autism. In the writings of Dr. Leo Kanner, the child psychiatrist who came up with the diagnosis, Mr. Triplett is referred to as "Case 1."

Autistic Pride is our protest against the oppression of Autistic people.

This means ALL Autistic people, and not just the select few.

To liberate Autistic people means to fight against ALL oppression.

@actuallyautistic @audhd @Adhdinos Sometimes a listener will respond to my disclosure of #AuDHD with hostility because we share traits. This is not about me and does not reflect on me—it’s about them being confronted with something about themselves and their negative beliefs about #neurodivergence. #ADHD #autism #autistic #actuallyautistic
