Hi just letting y’all know that Sia, the artist, is making what is essentially a big “F you” to autistic people. She is collaborating with Autism Speaks which is an organization that believes autism is something to be cured and treats autistic people like burdens. It is another run of the mill inspiration p**n movie for non autistic people and able bodied people to feel like they have compassion and understanding for us. For any of you who are not autistic and are able bodied, please do not support this film as it perpetuates bad stereotypes about autism and disabled individuals.
An Englishman and an Irishman go to a bakery. The Englishman steals three buns and puts them into his pockets and leaves. He says to the Irishman: “That took great skill and guile to steal those buns. The owner didn’t even see me.”
“That’s just simple thievery,” the Irishman replied. “I’ll show you how to do it the honest way and get the same results.”
The Irishman then proceeded to call out the owner of the bakery and says: “Sir, I want to show you a magic trick.” The owner was intrigued so he came over to see the magic trick.
The Irishman asked him for a bun and then he proceeded to eat it. He asked two more times and after eating them again the owner says: “Okay my friend, where’s the magic trick?”
The Irishman then said: “Look in the Englishman’s pockets.”
Embossed braille should be standard on computer keyboards.
It would raise braille literacy more than anything else I could imagine - among both the blind and the sighted. Currently braille is actually vanishing due to an increasing reliance on audiobooks and screen readers.
I think that braille has a lot of potential use among non-blind groups. As an alternative to traditional writing for dyslexics. As a way to help photosensitive people type with their eyes closed. Or simply as a means to help sighted people find things without needing the lights on all the time!
hey so since apparently enough people watched it to get it nominated for a golden globe
do not watch the movie "Music" by Sia
it is a disgusting portrayal of autism that should not be monetarily supported. do not give sia money for this film. she doesn't deserve to be rewarded for using autistic people as a plot device to further her own monetary gain. instead, please consider donating to autistic causes. this post has several links that lead to autistic-led charities where you can donate if you're able.
listen to and stand with autistic people. do not support this project.
all of the numbers that are divisible by 17 sound so absurd. 51? 68? 85? ridiculous. 102? absolutely not. and don't even get me started on 119
call me ignorant but i genuinely don’t understand why sports have to be split up by gender.
This guy at my office is talking about how some ~20 unionized workers that operate bridges shut down a huge chunk of the city by lifting the bridges then leaving on a boat until their demands were met and I forgot I was supposed to say "oh that's fucked up" because I was immediately like sick that's dope as hell lmao
Think about how much power labor has. These guys working in big positions talking about the kind of damage some "high school dropouts who ganged up" can do with an edge of fear in their voice
Like sorry you got punked out by these guys you think are below you bitchboy you dont sound very in charge lmao
