i started giggling to myself everytime i think about them

I’ve realized how little I care about the whole “transid” thing because I’ll go to their blog and it’s just spamming how white people can identify as black for fun and it’s like bro you can’t get mad at a clown for exhibiting clown behavior, it’s gonna happen, it’s not worth the energy, just focus on helping other disabled people and block people who intentionally try to start shit.

ridi, pagliaccio.

I wanted to share some etiquette for simplifying something down for someone with a cognitive/intellectual disability

you are simplifying the information down, not sharing your opinion

if I ask for a news article to be simplified down and you tell me "they're doing fascist things" that's unhelpful. I want to know what they're doing not what you think about what they're doing.

you should be objective with it

if an article is talking about, say, a new proposed bill in Congress an example of an appropriate way to summarize would be:

"this is what the bill is proposing

this is how the article says it will affect people

this is what the author thinks about it"

and then you can start talking about your opinion

we have a right to form our own opinions about information. if the only thing you share is your opinion you're denying us that right. when simplifying language you are a translator. think of yourself as a translator.

Having a traumatic childhood means you cannot talk even objectively about your basic foundational experiences without it being "venting", even if you're not actually venting. You just straight up have a huge chunk of your life you can't talk about, full stop, without it being trauma dumping.

And it not being socially acceptable to talk about your own childhood is super alienating. Sometimes people want to know why, and any answer you can give them is going to be off putting.

It's to the point I get irritated when something I said is framed as venting when I'm literally just talking about my life experiences, doing my best to keep emotion out of it.

its all 'be gay do crime' until a black person starts making allusions to drugs or sex or god forbid VIOLENCE and then it turns out nobody can handle anything more hardcore than downloading illegal torrents of hamilton

something that really stuck with me when I first was starting to realise I needed a carer and really didn't want to was my friend just going well don't think of it like a carer, think of it like having a cleaner and a private chef, and support staff like rich people do just cause. and honestly this not only made me feel much more comfortable about needing help but also highlighted how while disabilities will always suck money is a much larger quantified of quality of life with them
