@jepyang It also makes neurotypical morally wrong, either implicitly or explictly. Which is bad to begin with and worse when people equate not having autism with being neurotypical.

something i’ve been noticing more and more, and which i am feeling increasingly uneasy about, is how neurodivergent folks roughly on the left routinely assign virtue to neurodivergence and especially autism. -
I'm back on my bullshit.I'm back on my bullshit. The Bad Bunny halftime show was Important, and I don't think there's any way to dimmish it. To advocate for Puerto Rican independence, to bring attention to the 6 months PR went without power with no help from the US federal government, to celebrate the entire Latine diaspora at a time when we are in the middle of a genocide, to call out the damage US colonialism has done to Hawaii and warn how it is happening now to PR. To do all of this on the biggest performance stage of the year, and to cap it off with "The only thing more powerful than hate is love". This is a movement and a message based, not on hating an opponent or other group, but in loving ourselves and those around us. Calling on those of us who are not Puerto Rican to show love by supporting the end of US colonialism on the island and Puerto Rican independence. Showing love by standing up to those who would do our neighbors harm. Showing love by loving ourselves, our culture, and our languages.
