Of course anthropologists can study just about any group of people without knowing anything about them. That's how the field has worked for a long time and it sucks 🙄

But when it comes to neurodivergent people oh that's too much for my classmates. They think you basically have to be a medical professional to even hold a conversation with us 🙄

Rather than just idk, an accepting person who won't other us?

So in one of my anthropology classes we were reading an Ethnography about a group of homeless people in San Francisco.

I mentioned that a large proportion of homeless people are neurodivergent or have mental illnesses and I was surprised they didn't discuss that more in the book.

And then the rest of my class started talking about how that would be "too hard" because like you'd need to be an expert in all sorts of conditions to talk to them.

They basically said you'd need to be a psychiatrist in order to be able to talk to neurodivergent and mentally ill people. That otherwise it would be too much to handle.

And that made me so mad, like why don't you first just try talking to us as people?? You could just you know, have a conversation and try to keep an open mind

This is why we get shoved to the margins of society. People think they literally can't even talk to us

i have the utmost respect for the straight community, and have long fought for straight rights. given this history, let me state that i understand the disappointment some have felt about my recent remarks that 'straight people never wash they ass' and 'cishet? i'd rather if they cishetn't', and how they could be construed as insensitive; and i wholeheartedly apologise for any offence they have caused. going forward, i want to reëxamine

@dragon @Lady because, wheeze, because next month we'll all have, gasp, 2020 vision, dies

people who act like you can only uwu ironically are going to be culled. have some fucking bravery and embrace your cringe, its 2019

incels talk about 'alpha males' in this way that implies they're the 'real men' and incels aren't, but incels 100% are real men. there is NOTHING more heterosexually-manly than entitlement, unreasoned aggression, talking about women like they're your mischievous left sock that keeps going missing just to piss you off, and causing your own problems by being stubbornly wrong despite everyone trying to help you

TL;DR: your appearance is not what makes you lonely. lots of badly-dressed dudes who aren't model-pretty meet women who find them charming. but the powerful murderer vibes you give off by being seethingly angry at every woman who is attractive to you without being attracted to you? that is DEFINITELY not gonna help you get a date

lil bit of research this afternoon

on the internet, no one can tell you're a possum playing a banjo

it's not inherently bad to be crazy, stupid, dumb, insane, mad, lame, crippled, or broken

my cis friend: look, i want to understand why you'd be trans, but i don't think i get it

me, a genius: so like, imagine your fursona was a human girl

feeling bad, looking .....
not as bad

on the one hand, banjo kazooie nuts & bolts is a buggy mess with half-baked features and nothing to do with the franchise

on the other hand, you can abuse physics glitches to get powerful vehicle parts way, way earlier than you're meant to, build a ridiculously overpowered car with propellers and grenade launchers, call it the "trans rights enforcer", paint it in the colour of the trans flag, and decimate the AI's shitty early game cars in the few race levels that exist

glinner needs to get himself another hobby.
