baby both arms cradle you now
I fucking hate that the general response to RFK Jr's eugenist take on autistic people is "autistic people do pay taxes, autistic people do work, autistic people do date!"
Some autistic people don't and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life. Some autistic people do need constant help and support and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life.
Once again we're falling in the right wing trap of :
They make a hateful, fascist statement
Instead of focusing on the fact that it is hateful and fascist we try to show them that they are factually wrong
We throw our own allies and the most vulnerable of us under the bus in the process
We legitimise an only slightly less hateful, fascist view as we go
They have completed their goal of making us accept the still hateful, fascist second version, hurrah. What a victory.
Right now what we're getting to with that is that autistic people who can work and pay taxes are okay, and the others aren't. Fuck this shit.
Same thing happens with the people who are being deported ("they have a visa!", "they didn't even have a criminal record!" -> even if they didn't have a visa, even if they did have a criminal record, deporting them and detaining them in what's essentially a concentration camp wouldn't be okay, you absolute tools of fascism.)
Palestinian Miku! For the miku challenge over on twitter
Cherokee Miku from my home state of North Carolina!
You weren’t sure how it started — maybe he complained one too many times about looking “fuzzy” in his selfies, or maybe you were just bored and holding tweezers — but somehow, Dick Grayson ended up in a chair in the middle of the Batcave, letting you shape his eyebrows.
You stood between his legs, brows furrowed in focus, one hand gently holding his jaw to keep him still while the other went to work.
“Don’t move,” you warned him. “I swear to God if you flinch and I ruin your arch, I’m shaving them off completely.”
“Yes, ma’am,” he whispered dramatically, eyes fluttering closed — but then he puckered his lips into a stupid exaggerated kissy face.
You paused.
He opened one eye, grinning.
“Stop,” you muttered, biting back a smile.
Another kissy face. He leaned slightly forward like he was begging for a smooch.
“Dick.”
“Hmm?”
“You’re gonna get a tweezer in the eye.”
“I’m just saying,” he smirked, “you’re holding my face so tenderly. It’s giving ‘lover grooming his war-torn boyfriend’ vibes.”
You sighed, plucking another hair. “More like ‘tired nurse dealing with delusional patient.’”
“Ouch. But accurate.”
You stayed focused, trying not to laugh as he made another kissy face, this time with a wink. His hands were on your hips now, not trying to pull you closer, just resting there — warm, casual, intimate.
“Seriously, you’re going to mess me up,” you said, biting the inside of your cheek.
“You mess me up every day,” he whispered.
You pulled the next hair extra hard.
“OW—OKAY, I DESERVED THAT.”

Tunisian miku 🇹🇳👍
Mexican Miku 🇲🇽💖
I’ve never mentioned it before, but I was born and raised in a Mexican family and have lived in a border city all my life!! I based the design on what I've seen most girls in my city wear when going out (which usually looks like something you'd wear to a jaripeo lol)
Some close ups:
