hey so protip if you have abusive parents and need to get around the house as quietly as possible, stay close to furniture and other heavy stuff because the floor is settled there and it’s less likely to creak

What inspired the lyrics for your beautiful song Changeling?
Changeling was inspired by my own experience as an autistic person, though in a more fantastical and exaggerated way. Changeling myths began as a result of people not understanding their disabled and neurodivergent children, mistaking differences in behavior as signs of possession or a human child being replaced by a fairy child. It’s morbid, but I’ve always been interested in Changelings since I heard about them as a child. I have a lot of experiences of feeling like an outsider growing up, being very different than my family and the other people I knew. These experiences finally made sense to me only as an adult after researching ASD and realizing where I fit on the spectrum, so the song reflects that experience.
I’m really happy to see in the tags of the song how many autistic people related to it, even without me saying that’s what it was about. :) I’m also happy that allistic people could listen and relate to it as well! Because everyone’s felt like an outsider at some point, and I wrote it for all of us. But yeah, that’s what it was about.

To add onto the other "This Is America" interpretations, I think that part of the point of the dancing with all the surrounding chaos was to show the spread of parts of African-American culture (such as rap and different dances) into white appreciation and focus without the acknowledgement of the pain that the community that makes it is suffering. We white people can take in those elements that we like without having to worry about also experiencing the 'less appealing' parts of the culture like police brutality, gun violence, homelessness, poverty and other things that come as the product of systemic racism (which in America was made by our race). Maybe we would recognize it better if *some artist* paired depictions of the art we all love with depictions of black bodies being brutalized and desecrated at every turn. I think that's why he says at the end "America / I just checked my following list and / You motherfuckers owe me" -- because it's not fair that American culture can be taking in the richness and beauty of one of its subsets without owning up to the hardships it gave that subset to have birthed this art in the first place.
If we are going to appreciate African-American art, we have to support the African Americans who make it.

Concept: an apocalyptic or post apocalyptic tv show centred on a group of disabled protagonists
Must include:
-enough details about how they survive that no one can call it “unrealistic”
-mental and physical disabilities
-a character who isn’t necessarily contributing to the survival of the group, but is not abandoned or looked down upon
-at least one character whose disability is actually less of a problem for them now that the world is ending/ended (example: autistic character who used to be constantly overstimulated but no longer is)
Optional features:
-abled person says “the only disability in life is a bad attitude” and gets told where to stuff it
-creatively weaponized mobility aids/assistive devices
-character who abled people think isn’t worth helping because of their disability, but actually has at least one skill essential to the survival of the group
-every time an abled person says something ignorant, all present disabled people look into the camera like they’re on the office
