I’d Like To Add This Quote From The Article:

you can give seven days of internet connection to someone in gaza for just 6 USD

gazaesims.com is a website dedicated to helping people donate esims for people in gaza. there are multiple options for where to purchase an esim to donate, for the price i listed you want to use nomad esims. then use the promotional discount code from this article (BACKPACKNOMAD) to get $3 off your purchase (note: this only applies to the first purchase you make on nomad) this discount obviously also works on the more expensive options too if you are able to spring for those! also it took over an hour for the email with my information to come through so don't panic if it doesn't show up right away.

edit: please see the addition to this post by metadata-uber-alles about a 70% off sale on esims on the platform airalo. we don't know long it will last but it's still ongoing as of november 30th.

BONG JOON-HO accepting Best Foreign Language Film at the 77th Golden Globe Awards for PARASITE

Well, shit. I didn’t think of it like that but now that you mention it...

Sex Education is one of the first shows where I don't ship the male bestfriends with each other and i think that's largely because the show developed its female characters just as strongly as it developed its male characters

This might just be my new favorite post on this app

i had a vision

I made a meme.

I think they should cast college aged kids. Ones who have just peaked into adulthood and can work full time but still can play youth!

Again, I’m seeing people asking for Disney to cast teenagers for the Percy Jackson adaptation. The reason why you shouldn’t want this is because kids/teens can only work certain hours on set. So it will slow production. Also you really want teens around the people who were the catalyst of the Me Too movement? So many child and teenage actors detail sexual abuse on sets years later. So yes I do hope they cast full adults.

level 1 autism isn't just being quirky. saying that it is is confusing for people who also have level 1 and then think "no i must be high support needs" because they keep getting fired from jobs, or can't manage their own finances, or lose speech sometimes, or struggle to communicate anything beyond the literal.

like my diagnostic paperwork says "level 1" on it. i'm not a huge fan of flattening autistic experiences into homogenous "tiers" but like. there's a big difference between someone like me, who can hold basic conversations and work full time in competitive employment, vs someone who is nonspeaking and cannot work.

but that doesn't mean i'm "quirky." my parents literally tried to put me under a guardianship, on the recommendation of a doctor. strangers know i "have something wrong with me." i've been nearly expelled from two different universities. i struggle to convey nuanced and subjective information to like. employers and doctors and landlords. everybody who knows me knows i have communication issues. my motor skills impact my ability to feed myself--i.e. move food from my plate into my mouth without getting it all over the table and my clothes. not just "oh i don't know what to cook tonight uwu." i spent 2 years in high school in a social skills class where they tried to make us memorize facial expressions on flash cards, and had to take us on weekly outings to learn how to ride the bus and order at an ice cream shop.

this kind of framing of level 1 autism as being "just quirky" is harmful to all autistic people, because it means that level 1 autistic people like me, who are disabled by autism, will see this and think "well i'm not just quirky, i must be level 2 or 3" and then start talking over people whose disability from their autism is more pronounced. we see this with people who lose speech sometimes calling themselves nonspeaking. or with people who live with roommates calling themselves "high support needs" because they "can't live alone."

it's hurtful to all of us to pretend that there exists any autistic person who is "just quirky." what separates "autism" as the clinical diagnosis from "autistic traits" as in the thing that most people have a few of, is that if you're actually autistic, your autistic traits cause a disability. "just quirky" = does not have autism.

Somebody finally said it we all drew our suns in the corner

when i was younger, i used to draw the sun in the corner of the paper every time.
