Here is your regular reminder that the largest group that speaks about autistic people, autism speaks, is a hate group that wants to "cure" us. They are actively supported by many places, like Twitch.
Don't just not donate, actively call them out whenever you see them for the hate group they are. They are where that blue puzzle piece comes from. So call out that symbol whenever you see it too.
This is a symbol that actively means not only am I not safe but I am in a space that is actively targeting me.
If you are looking for a good #podcast about #Indigenous #languages, check out Tongue Unbroken. This episode is an interview with Dr. Kathryn Pewenofkit Briner, Comanche Nation’s Director of Language Planning and Development. She talks about how the Comanche language was used in #Prey, and what they are doing to preserve the language. The second interview is with Joey Clift, who talks about Indigenizing Hollywood. Such a good episode!
For those that joined #Mastodon and grabbed the first server they could find, but would prefer to #migrate to a different one, I created a short guide on how to do this quickly and easily.
It also allows you to easily move any followers across to your new profile and leaves a redirection on your old profile for those that find it.😁👍
I'd love if you could share it among your networks to help those that will invariably need it.

for my homies in the u.s.
idk who needs to hear this but if you have to buy meds for your sick pet, you can ask for the prescription number or for a written prescription from your vet and take it to walmart/walgreens/etc so your pet's meds are MUCH more affordable

I really appreciate all of you who dutifully tag/CW your shitposting, esp. the "misinformation" crew. ❤️
I didn't realise until I got here, and started seeing these posts, how much energy I have spent online trying to discern if someone is being earnest or not.
Real question or rhetorical? A genuine request for help or just a new meme I haven't seen yet? Shitposting or actual facts I should remember?
So, help an autistic buddy out – keep tagging your shitposts!

A lot of discussions being had about the fedi right now can be boiled down to the fact that capitalism has eaten itself all the way into our brains and we value quantity much more than quality.
I'm not on here to be on the biggest instance. I'm not on here to get the most followers. I'm not on here to follow the most people. I'm not on here to post, fav and boost the most posts.
I'm on here to connect with people, share cool stuff, talk about mutual interests, act in solidarity, learn new stuff, have important conversations, and make sure that everyone has a good time.
Those goals can't be reached by getting more and more people onto the fedi and staying in contact with the largest instances no matter the cost. I would even argue that having quality interactions on here is actually hampered by that.
just read in a thread,
