When you’re gonna read a fanfic about your OTP and you see that it’s tagged “Death”

What’s happening to autistic people right now?

(Trigger warning for abuse, electroshock therapy, torture, and ableism.)

The US court has overturned the ban on shock devices being used against disabled students, predominantly autistic students in the US.

The shock device being legalized is called the graduated electronic decelerator (or GED). This is a torture device that is used to ‘correct’ autistic behaviors / symptoms. Autistic people are shocked for stimming, and for having meltdowns, ect. This device was made popular by a behavioral center (the Judge Rosenberg Center, specifically) that is infamous for its abuse and torture of autistic / disabled patients.

(Image ID: someone is holding their arm out and resting it on a table, with their sleeve rolled up. Attached to their arm are wires, which connect to a small cube device.)

This is what the device looks like. It sends electric shocks into the victim’s skin; the victim often being restrained and held against their will. This is torture. GEDs have been reported to cause intense psychological trauma, PTSD, and physical injuries.

In March of 2020, the FDA ruled for GEDs to be banned. (Although, of course, they were still illegally used at a number of places.) This ruling has recently been appealed, and today, the US court of appeals has re-regulated the law to stop the use of GED. Sounds great, right? It would be!

... If not for a huge loophole in the wording, which basically allows this torture to continue. This device is going to have continued use on autistic students in order to “correct their behavior.”

“So.... What can I do??”

Great question! You can:

Listen to and boost autistic voices to spread awareness

As-of now (July 7th), autistic activists are trying to get #StopTheShock trending on Twitter, so Tweet out the hashtag if you have Twitter

If you’re in the US, email / call your legislators

Sign this petition if you’re in the US

Follow this case and look out for updates

If Autism Speaks (known ableist hategroup) says anything about this, DO NOT BOOST IT

That’s all! Thank you. Reblogs are very appreciated!!

[Gives you my Dio Brando shrine] Elams, please. :>

Eliza: Hey, what time is it?

John: I don't know. Hey, pass me that saxophone

Eliza, handing him the saxophone: Okay??

John: [starts playing the saxophone very loudly]

Alexander, storming out of his room: WHO THE FUCK IS PLAYING THE SAXOPHONE AT THREE AM?!

John, to Eliza: It's 3 am

So....the post of me talking about Dan with a beard got 10 notes. So...now I’ll show you some of bearded Dan, in all his glory. It may not look good to you, but I personally think it looks PHENOMENAL on him.

To be honest, I feel like it kind of ( KIND OF ) suits him? Just a small bit. It doesn’t completely change the way he looks when he smiles or anything, it’s almost like a fluffy add on. If you don’t like it, that’s fine, I get that. Please don’t send hate lol I just think this is really cool~ 💕

Did anyone else think of this?

Idk it just seemed so funny to me I had to draw it I’M DEAD

Short comic, while I work on something bigger on the side. It is nevertheless a very important topic. A lot of seabirds die because they eat plastic. They feed their chicks with the waste. It’s really tragic.
