@ask_aubry
the truth is the exact opposite--orgasming produces oxytocin, the "love"/euphoria" neurotransmitter. you get the same brain chemicals from masturbating that you do from partnered sex as long as you come in both circumstances. 🤷 this dude is coping hard
@apihtawikosisan
it's strategic to not talk about it, because if you (the conservative right, that is) talk about how dangerous pregnancy can be and how it can fundamentally alter (& yes DAMAGE) a person's body you have to acknowledge that abortion is health care.

I was in elementary school in the 80s. I was the gender nonconforming autistic kid with peanut allergies & asthma in my class, I just didn't have the diagnosis yet b/c I got good grades despite my sensory & other issues 🤷♂️

and raping his wife repeatedly, he's cool with that too. B/c lying about birth control is taking someone's informed consent away.
@ask_aubry
like dude, it's 2023. you can just be gay now, no one's going to judge you more than you're currently judging yourself. let your freak flag fly, hon 🏳️🌈

Mhmmmmm sure hon, definitely not a cowardly conservative who can't even now your bigotry because you know it would rightly ostracize you from good people. Whatever you say, pookie
@AutisticCallum_
a pattern I've noticed: the various people who lobbed the "bad attitude" accusation at me were the abusive ones. non abusive people were more likely to be appreciative of my ability & willingness to stand up for myself. funny that 🤨
@VoynichSolver
that's like every study on guaranteed basic income ever--it improves quality of life, across the board. that's exactly why our neolib governments don't want to implement those policies.

people can learn to paint with their feet if they don't have hands, if they really want to and put the effort into learning & practicing. 🤷♂️
@ask_aubry
aragorn kisses & comforts boromir as he's dying, and then he openly weeps in front of his male friends who are also there and openly emotionally distressed. then they comfort each other and go about their task as best they can while grieving. that is true king shit right there 👑
@amber693
@backtolife_2023
there are lots of us (disabled Canadians living in deep poverty) with twitter accounts begging for our survival on here. it's not sustainable, too many of us go hungry
anyone else remember these from the late 90s? they're meditation chimes that sound when you spin them in one hand, supposed to work kind of like a stress ball
@traceyecorder
she really came at him out of nowhere, for no reason. totally unprovoked. & then cried "but i'm just a baby 20 yr old (who happens to look middle aged)" when he clapped back more reservedly than i would have
RATHER THAN GIVING US ACTUAL MEDICAL CARE TO LIVE THE LIVES WE DESERVE TO BE ABLE TO LIVE, WE ARE STARVING AND BEING MADE HOMELESS BY SKYROCKETING COST OF LIVING & OFFERED MAID AS THE ONLY WAY OUT OF OUR "SUFFERING". IT'S EUGENICS.

@ask_aubry
my bff from high school got breast cancer after birthing two children for her husband, who then left her for a new woman after she had her double mastectomy. he couldn't even wait for her to die to start over again, & new gf brought his new kid to my friend's funeral.
except autistic people spend our whole lives studying neurotypical people trying to act more like you in public so you leave us the fuck alone. you NT fucks don't extend us the same empathy because we're an invisible minority to you 99% of the time.
@NathanJonesBook
If you believe that neurotypicals can’t write autistic characters then by that same logic autistic people can’t write neurotypical characters. It’s the same ridiculous “write what you know” nonsense that has been dismantled on this site too many times to count.
"Get rid of food banks and give people money instead, new report says"
well, no shit. you could have just asked poor people, we'd have told you as much
how is a story like this released & the public aren't in the streets? i guess disabled lives really mean less than nothing to most canadians because i don't understand how there is not widespread dissent & civil disobedience over this otherwise. THEY ARE LITERALLY MURDERING US
@JaneLuciferian
this isn't autonomy, when I can get help killing myself from the government but no help to actually LIVE which I want to continue & deserve to do. Wtf I'd this nazi eugenics take being embraced so shamelessly, like wtf is wrong with you?
@_celia_bedelia_
It's ironic they say older women were bamboozled by the patriarchy, when their contempt for older women is just internalized misogyny enculterated in them by the same patriarchy that they lack the self awareness to see🤦♂️
@Jhostin_R_M
@kate_manne
& this is impossible: you can't say you relate well to progressive women after just admitting how fake you are because you're a moral coward. You're not good at this. Get some help before your personality sets in like this or you're in for a miserable life.
marriage equality doesn't exist for disabled canadians: if we get married or move in with a partner, we lose our disability income (not just in ontario, in most provincial disability support programs). There is no freedom to love who you love in canada if you're disabled.
@ask_aubry
she needs to look up what a dry drunk is, because it sounds like her dad has gone that route. (It basically just means they give up alcohol but not all the abusive behaviour the alcohol facilitated.)
@Autistic_Lia
Book store or library, for me. Just surround me with the smell of books all day & the quiet sounds of people turning pages, it would be impossible for me to unhappy in those circumstances
@kyalXIII
@fatfabfeminist
Do all predators live their lives in fear of their past catching up to them, or just the types that run to social media platforms to try to discredit any woman talking about outing predators? I'm just curious.
@Jhostin_R_M
@kate_manne
You only have friends because you lie about who you are & what you believe. Good luck with nobody finding out what you're really like, I'm sure that will turn out well for you 👍
IF YOU DARE TO ASK ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH LETTING SOMEONE SUICIDE WHO WANTS TO WITHOUT OFFERING THEM CARE FIRST I WILL BLOCK YOUR NAZI ASS WITHOUT HESITATION GTFO OF MY MUTUALS YOU SICK NAZI FUCKS
@Fhqwhgads411
@ask_aubry
because they think "i cheated because i was in a deep depression" sounds better than "i cheated because i'm a selfish impulsive prick", not because they believe that to be the truth. it's all about appearances with people like that (fake losers who cheat)
@babsbeaty
@ask_aubry
usually means you have a lot of shame around sexuality that you learned at home that you have to unlearn (most of the time it comes from religious upbringing but not always, some secular homes are very prudish and sex shame-y too)
unless you're disabled--then we'll just kill you with poverty and medical neglect and coerced medically assisted suicide, because diversity is great as long as you can work and if you can't please fuck off and die already
@RyanMarino
it might not give me cancer, i just know it gave me terrible headaches that disappeared when i stopped drinking diet coke 🤷 now when i want low calorie sweetener i use stevia, no headaches
@Imani_Barbarin
there are definitely a lot of parallels between transphobia and ableism, you're not wrong. like parents feeling they need to "grieve" the child they dreamed of having because the child they got didn't match their ideal dream child.
@YothatsCalvin
neither is sexual assault or harassment, to all the autistic mascs who are predators out there who try to say they can't help being that way because they "can't read signals from femmes" and pretend to not understand personal boundaries around femmes.
@ratbitebaby
the irony is that unmarried women DO live longer and it's from not having to care for manbaby husbands that take years off their life span 🤣
@Ellen_Lee3
@PPrestiSidney
this sounds like abuse, that not only he is doing this but is the kind of man who would make you pay for having to isolate due to his behaviour. that's an abuser.
@LouisatheLast
I don't know what this is, but I could listen to it all day 🤣 don't even need the video, just let me listen & my brain will fill in the blanks. "you're really strong man, that was good" yes, yes it was 🫠💦
@adamfare1996
I was boy crazy when I was 16-- I was also nonbinary, though I didn't have the words for it then & just thought of myself as weird & like a gay boy in a girl's body
@alli_processing
i'm 43 in a month (exactly, my bday is sept 1) and i'll be spending mine alone too, due to extreme poverty and C-PTSD. from someone who gets it: happy birthday alli, i hope you're able to find some joy today 💜🎂🎉💜
I hope I have no mutuals that I have to explain to why Sia claiming she's autistic does not justify the horrible ableist racist film she made and her ableist reaction to the autistic community when we tried to criticise her ableism and racism.
We specifically asked them not to do this, because of how few of us disabled Canadians in the most need don't have this tax credit because it's pointless for many of us to go through the application process for a credit we can't use
- proposes that the government would begin providing eligible Canadians the benefit in July 2025 *on the condition that the regulatory process and consultations have reached "successful completion"*
- proposes Disability Tax Credit as qualifier for the Canada Disability Benefit
@RoeGraceM
I actually feel like if they had survived to the present day they might have come out as nonbinary--but I acknowledge a little personal bias and wishful thinking in that 💜
So we're really going to do the "but do disabled people really NEED to eat?" discourse every couple of months in perpetuity, huh? You all forgot about us during lockdown & want to keep pretending we don't exist until we disappear but DISABLED PEOPLE ARE STILL HERE
@Riannnnaaaaa
💔i lost my best friend of 25+ years to, if you can believe it, what came down to disabled door dash discourse. he inherited money & started being all judgy & weird about my using food delivery during the pandemic, as an immuno-compromised person w/ no in home care or support
@KatyMontgomerie
that's it, I'm starting an alt-punk band and naming it Vacant Crotch. our first album will be titled The Mystery of the Missing Bulge 🤣
@gatx_negrx
I'm not even christian but I gotta say amen to that. The man they claim to want to be like was a table-flipping revolutionary socialist bachelor who liked to hang out with other dudes and sex workers. If Jesus were alive today he would be a based comrade ✊
@AdamLockett34
@CityCynthia
@RichardCityNews
exactly--the more of us die of starvation or exposure when we become homeless, the more money the govt saves. that's the only metric they care about.
again: THIS IS MY MAYOR, TALKING ABOUT HAPPILY VISITING AN LTC HOME WITHOUT A MASK ON, AGAINST PUBLIC HEALTH RECOMMENDATIONS & THE FACT THAT 1 IN 13 ONTARIANS HAS COVID RIGHT NOW. IN 2023 SAYING NO TO WEARING A MASK AROUND OLD DISABLED VULNERABLE PEOPLE
