Yaya

This take is pissing me off so Im going to just rant about it to get it out of my system.

Elon Musk's SNL bits weren't unfunny because he's autistic, they were unfunny because he's an out of touch conservative billionaire with a cult of personality who panders to online nerd communities who are obsessed with 4chan, cryptocurrency, and saying slurs as often as possible. Every time this man says a single thing it's incredibly clear he has no idea what life is like for the average person and has been spoonfed by others his entire life. He didn't start tesla, he bought it. He's more of a detriment to SpaceX than a positive. He's rich because mommy and daddy being racists in apartheid South Africa. He owns a fucking emrald mine. He calls literal heroes pedophiles for daring to criticize his stupid plans thatd kill innocents. His companies violate almost every OSHA standard (and thats just the shit in the USA) and his space company rains dangerous shit all over American cities.

People don't hate Elon Musk because he's autistic. People hate Elon Musk because he's a Captain Planet villain.

And, trying to level that disgust towards him as disgust towards autistic people is so extremely ableist. Elon Musk getting made fun of for being terrible at comedy and being an unrelatable billionaire is not the same as autistic people getting made fun of for not being able to communicate ideas.

Fuck all the way off.

i am made up of

the galaxies in my hand

and the stars that fell apart

in a desire

to fix someone else's heart.

i am not exactly broken

but what resides in my heart

are the little heartbreaks

that found their escape in metaphors,

they often make the noises

i am tired of hearing

but the world never tried to listen.

each day comes with the new hope

but mine serves as another hammer

to make the cracks in me wider,

yet somehow i manage to hide them

with the little good i receive.

i see all around,

some stranger trips

on the thresholds of the markets

while others on their own decisions,

everyone is carrying

some sort of heaviness

they choose to confine in their bones.

their pain might be bigger or lesser,

but the thing is every pain hurts.

bruises are countable

but the ache isn’t.

every one goes through something or the other,

different storms prevail in different hearts,

yet we assume that the life was biased

to provide just us with the difficulties.

everyone is fighting,

some are healing

while some are still breaking.

but, what matters is

we all are still moving.

wow

me 

My words shoot into the empty expanse

Every time someone hurts me:

"I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself." -Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

There is a need to live poetically and string moments like words

“My heart is a thousand years old. I am not like other people.”

— Charles Bukowski

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying ‘I will try again tomorrow’.”

— Mary Anne Radmacher
