My maternal grandmother was abusive as hell. It took my mom years to admit that she only thing she felt when she died was relief, because she didn’t want to be seen as a bad daughter.

And the book it’s loosely based on is awful in its own right. Joyce Carol Oates has a fairly established history of writing fictionalized works about real women (and children) and using them as a vessel for her own really…unusual worldviews.
@JortsTheCat
Jorts, I’m seriously considering approaching our library director and telling her that we want to unionize. Any advice? (And lots of pets to you, buddy! ❤️)
@joe_hill
It needs to be said and said again. I haven’t met many trans people that aren’t afraid because of the way the world treats them, and it needs to change. Thank you for using your platform for good.

All of your ghoulies are delightfully creepy, but this guy terrifies me in a way I struggle to put into words. He feels genuinely malevolent in every single picture.
@charliclement_
And it completely ignores the fact that neurodiverse BIPOC often face FAR worse treatment for exhibiting symptoms than white people on the spectrum do.
@prideceratops
This is why I wanted to scream when a coworker was telling me about her group that does "alternate readings" of the books that tries to sanitize it of the author's beliefs. People will bend over backwards to ignore a shitty creator before they'll just...drop them.
A lot of us struggle with enforcing our boundaries with others because we're taught from an early age by adults (parents, teachers especially) that our boundaries are unimportant or "too difficult" to respect.
Hey
#actuallyAutistic
friends, please quote-tweet this with ONE THING you wish allistic people knew about autistic people.
Then I'm going to promote the shit out of it to allistic twitter.
(note: "allistic" means "not autistic")
Let's go!

It’s a symbiotic relationship where Saejima gets to act on his unhinged behavior while still looking like the reasonable one, and Majima gets to take credit for 90% of Saejima’s horrible ideas
@slimyswampghost
It’s silly, but I’d checked out a copy of Pim and Francie from the library, and I didn’t like sleeping in the same room as the book. His work is so actively malevolent.
@blightedkudzu
It’s SO FUNNY. I had someone ask me when I was going to get top surgery and I was like “eh, I’m not sure I ever want to” and they looked at me like I’d just kicked their dog.
