I don't think the people at the party 3 blocks over expected someone to show up in their back yard just now crying and begging them to stop the noise.

The police told me it's legal for anyone who feels like it to torture me with noise all day long, so long as it's before 10pm. My needs literally do not matter. I have no basic human right to be free from torture because I'm an autistic person and what tortures me doesn't torture most people. When that truth hits me full force is when I want to die because the world has no place for me.

I sobbed the whole walk home. I'm still in tears. IDK what to do. I guess I need to vacate my home till the strangers that own it right now decide to give it back.

I'm a fucking person too, goddammit.

Every person harmed or killed by the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas is a human being, and should be thought of and treated as such. Especially the innocent, who exist among both Israelis and Palestinians.

I don't know the way forward, but I'm sure more hatred is not it. I wish the violence and killing would end.

@accretionist @StillIRise1963 The dirty little secret racists and other bigots don't want you to know: The lowest and the highest are at the very same level, and the only thing that actually drops you lower is to treat your fellow human beings badly.

#HumanIsHuman

I've worked at companies with and without comprehensive #DEI initiatives, and I can tell you they have a major impact on the ability of an #autistic person like me to succeed in the workplace. The fact that this is being impacted by the recent #AffirmativeAction decision is proof that an attack on any marginalized group is an attack on all marginalized groups. We HAVE to stand up for each other. #ActuallyAutistic #HumanIsHuman
