Ask if you dare.
This blog will contain references to DID (Dissociative Identitiy Disorder), C-PTSD (Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), and Anorexia, all of which we have been clinically diagnosed.
I can’t be the only one who feels like there’s countless more stories to be told about the Black Widows of the Red Room. I mean come on the Black Widow movie just increased my already ravenous curiosity about these amazing ladies. Their stories deserved to be told. Hawkeye provided us a glimpse of the widows but I need more than that.
God knows what these ladies went through. The trauma, the pain must be unbearable. Melina’s story, Yelena’s story, Ingrid’s story, Antonia’s story, Ana’s story, Helen’s story, Sonya’s story, Lerato’s story, Oksana’s story and the stories of the other Widows deserved to be told.
This is why I continue to write the fan fiction I do. The Red Room is based in real trauma. Human trafficking, child soldiers, traumas as old as the human race.
Hey. Don’t support The Crowded Room. I don’t care if Tom Holland is involved or not, Dissociative Identity Disorder (otherwise known as Multiple Personality Disorder, although that’s an old diagnosis that doesn’t even exist anymore) is a highly stigmitised mental disorder that is heavily linked to trauma, and media villianising the disorder is extremely harmful for systems everywhere. Don’t give it your attention, don’t give it your money. We do not need another Split.
Edit: Singlets (non-systems) have no right to talk over me, a system, here. Doing that will result in being blocked. You all may interact, but don’t comment on it
there is also a petition to stop the release of it!
hey @ my singlet followers: you were all super helpful when it came to split’s release and signal boosting how that movie was harmful. here’s another example of the same shit, if you’re an ally to systems please don’t ignore it alright
Even if you don’t have DID but are a system, please spread the word.
Hi, if you care about us Autistic folks then please boost this
….yeah can we signal boost the hell out of this?
can someone write an id? damn thing wont load
[ID: Paigelayle, an ND tiktok star is taking.
Stop scrolling! I’m gonna need y'all to boost this one.
(background changes to Mark Robers recent video, The Truth About My Son)
I don’t know if you guys know but recently Mark Rober made a video about his son being autistic.
The video is not that great but what’s worse is that him and Jimmy Kimmel & all these celebrities and more (shows a list of various other celebrities such as Mark Hamill, MrBeast and Maya Rudolph) are hosting a fundraiser to go towards an organization called NEXT for Autism.
The organization funds autism hate groups like autism speaks, funds aba therapy and work towards preventing autism, aka parental screening for autism, aka aborting specifically autistic babies, aka eugenics.
Despite the autistic community being really upset about this, only a few celebrities have pulled out and so far they’ve raised almost a million dollars. So we’re making our own!
On the same day, April 30th from 4pm to 12am EST a bunch of my autistic tiktok friends and more and I will be hosted by backspectrum on a twitch livestream donation event dedicated to ASAN, an organization we actually like!
I personally will be guesting from 8-9pm.
We may not raise a million dollars but we really want to raise awareness and raise our voices. We are sick of Nuerotypicals talking over us! We deserve to call the shots on our own disorder! Please consider donated and please spread the word, we hope to see you there! END ID]
Because when I signed up for Tumblr, back in 2012, nobody told me it would be like Logan’s Run*, and once I got over a certain age I would need to be hunted down and killed.
I suppose I should have read the terms and conditions.
*A film from long, long ago in the misty dawn times.
Tumblr is for the unapologetically weird and if you can’t accept Mr Gaiman’s undeniable right to be here gtfo
(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
This school, The Marieval Indian Residential School, operated from 1899 to 1997.
It was one of the last residential schools to close in Canada. One of more than 130.
In case you didn’t know, residential schools were created to “cleanse” the people of Canada. These schools operated from 1831, when the Mohawk Institute Residential School opened, to 1996, when residential schools were finally outlawed.
I am not Indigenous. I cannot pretend to know how painful this may be. But what I can do is speak out. This inhumane treatment of citizens of Canada must be condemned.
The government of Canada, and The Catholic Church, must. make. reparations.
