Left Foot, Right Foot, Left Foot, One Step At A Time. Hope Is A Thing With Dirt Under Her Fingernails.

Jew here with a friendly reminder that:

Criticizing Isreal ≠ antisemetic

Supporting Palestine ≠ antisemitic

Believing in the Free Palestine cause ≠ antisemitic

BUT ALSO

A random ass Jew just living their life oceans away has nothing to do with the Isreal-Palestine conflict

Palestinian Jews exist

Jews that support Palestine exist (I am one of them)

Calling out ACTUAL antisemitism ≠ supporting Isreal

i want you all to know that there is an artist (carmen papalia) who, after he started using a white cane, assembled a 12 foot long white cane and began using it in downtown vancouver. the length of the cane made it functionally useless as a device and the only purpose it served was making him an obstacle for sighted people. dare i say… 2019 goals

Autistic Headcanon:

Candace Flynn from Phineas and Ferb

1. She has a strong black and white moral code.

Candace is constantly trying to bust Phineas and Ferb, along with being obsessed with enforcing the rules and being the one in charge. Even after seeing people enjoying their creations, she still continues try and bust them (in most cases) because what matters most is the fact that what they are doing is wrong to her.

2. She likes her routine and knowing what to expect, sometimes going to extremes to keep that routine.

Even when Candace is sick she still needs her “busting routine” and enlists her friend, Stacy, to help her with this. When Phineas and Ferb decide to have a “do nothing day,” Candace goes out of her way to try and make the boys build something, even going to the extent to build something herself instead. She even has a “panic room” that she goes to when overwhelmed with the unexpected.

3. She scripts conversations!

When she isn’t busy busting her brothers, she’s busting scripting conversations to have with Jeremy Johnson. Sometimes even talking to pictures of him taped to teddy bears or into bananas.

4. Grilled Cheese is her same food.

Candace loves her grilled cheese and everyone in her life knows that about her.

5. She has had a special interest in Ducky Momo for a long time.

She goes to conventions to engage in her special interest and has an impressive collection regarding it.

6. She stims… like a lot.

Here are just a few examples, there are a lot more.

8. She hyperfocuses (most often on busting), and is not able to focus on something else.

9. She has some very particular obsessions and rituals.

For example, Candace only plays instruments that start with the letter B. She also has to brush her hair 500 times in order to have a “perfect hair day.”

i'm just thinking abt how many providers i've had who heard my story abt psychiatric abuse + immediately individualized it. "oh, you're so smart + kind+ obviously sane! you didn't deserve that! i can't believe they gave you that diagnosis when you're obviously not like that! they shouldn't have treated u like that when all you did was xyz! they shouldn't have assumed you were crazy like that!"

there is always a third person haunting this interaction- the patient who does deserve that, who is "actually" that evilscary diagnosis, who did Have To be treated like that. if i want to soak up the affirmations of these providers, i must be careful to never become this third person. i must affirm myself by setting myself apart from her- i did not deserve to be treated like that because i am not like that.

i reject this. not only was i like that, she + everyone else like that deserve everything i deserve. they are my siblings + my friends + my lovers. i do not need to cut them out of me to believe i deserved better. i refuse to comfort myself through the lens of someone else's dehumanization. the tragedy is not that psychiatric violence was applied to someone who not insane enough to warrant it. the tragedy is the violence.
