staring from the position that autism and schizophrenia have pretty similar presentations on the whole, and recalling that the modern psychiatric stereotype of schizophrenia was dramatically revised in the mid-20th century in order to pathologize Black Civil Rights activists, the intensification of anti-Blackness and police violence for Black autistics suddenly makes a lot of sense huh?

fun little-known fact, autism and ADHD are both documented to co-occur pretty frequently with hallucinations. this makes three (3) "different" "diagnoses" which, pragmatically speaking, are characterized primarily by
1) perceptible oddity
2) executive dysfunction
3) divergent sensory processing
4) (optionally) psychosis

what is the third (3rd) diagnosis not so far mentioned? schizophrenia. schizophrenics are the ones we subject most directly to madness stigma and are widely, not-very-consensually treated with anti-psychotics that are very hard to tolerate, and don't solve the problems that actually make it hard to live with schizophrenia.

what are those problems? social discrimination and functional deficits related to executive dysfunction — the classic "I know the lightbulb is out and I have a lightbulb and a stepstool, but I haven't replaced the lightbulb and it's been weeks" kind of problem, writ large.

these are, in fact, support needs common to autistics and ADHD people.

Hey fellow Bi and Pan folks!

Imposter syndrome is super common within our adorable little subsets of the community!

Worried you’re not Bi or Pan enough? That’s the imposter syndrome talking!

But you ARE!
You’re more than enough!
You’re awesome!

The witch glared at the spellbook.
"Fresh virgin blood," she muttered. "That's a stupid ingredient."
"Can't you use your own?" her raven asked.
"Depends on whether the author meant 'Never had sex' or 'Never had sex with a man'."
"Did a man write the spell?"
"Hah! Good question."

Katherin Johnson, woman who was the focal point of Hidden Figures, the black woman who was the reason we were able to go to the moon...

she died today at the age of 101.

Godspeed. You deserve rest.

squaring the circle of "I want to fight assholes who suck until they're not a problem any more" and "I want to have sexually-charged fights with equally caped-up people, luxuriating in our elaborate set pieces and banter and just bein' gay together"
