If there's anyone else who is #actuallyautistic and not white, but does anyone have any throughts on how the 'double empathy' problem through an intersectional lens?
I just know how much cultural norms make different acceptable behaviours which also play out in autistic spaces. And so I don't think it's as simple as the 'double' empathy, other factors also come into play.
Book reccomendations for the talk we are having right now in twitter soaces. Oyèrónkẹ́ Oyèwùmí argues in several parts that male and female genders were no meaningful social categories in precolonial Africa.

Further, it parallels a couple of claims made here in @[email protected]'s article. Recommended reading, particularly re: Uluru Statement, Indigenous political history and the current enforced hegemony we're frequently expected to adhere to:

Breaking my social media hiatus for just a minute to celebrate this moment of people power. ✊🏽
The immigration officers have left without the detained people. It is a big win. We will observe and make sure this does not change.

This disabled Syrian refugee boy promised resettlement in UK in 2018 has died waiting to be transferred while living in awful conditions in Lebanon. I raised his case with @[email protected] multiple times as did his UK lawyers. His case is not unique (THREAD) https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/an-absolute-scandal-the-syrian-teen-who-died-waiting-to-be-resettled-in-britain-b2071558.html
I need a social media break. The neverending barrage of horror that has been the last few weeks / months / years is too much to be okay with.
I am learning to be ok with not needing to know everything.
So my conclusion, thanks to input from others is that Mastodon is not a Twitter alternative. It has its own purpose and culture.
I still don't know where it fits into the broader digital ecosystem; or its purpose in the work I am to achieve, so not sure which instance to try to move to (or even if it is the right place for me).
