Apparently it needs saying, again, as autism is used as an excuse for bullshit, again, but:

AUTISM DOES NOT MAKE YOU LESS AWARE OF YOUR ACTIONS AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES. IT MAKES YOU HYPER-AWARE AND ANXIOUS ABOUT THEM.

C’mon guys all us neurodivergents occasionally and emphatically gesticulate in front of a crowd like we don’t know what WWII was

It was never about Chinese Spies.

They didn’t want us to see that China is doing way better than us.

#tiktokban

I deleted insta. And I don’t use Facebook. Bye Zuck!

Don't let Donald Trump extending the TikTok ban distract you from the fact that his Administration is about to conduct mass deportations across America in a matter of days.

Deleted threads and IG. I have some things tied up on FB, so I can’t delete at the moment. But I will. Oh, I will.

Weeeeird! I wonder what that was about?!

TikTok had a massive community of #ActuallyAustistic people, likely the largest autistic community in the world ever. It included all ages and speakers and non-speakers.

It also had a large chronically ill community.

The potential loss of community for many otherwise isolated folks is significant.

I’m sobbing at the loss of TikTok *because* it signals the death rattle of democracy.

This was mine 😭

I am heartbroken, too 😭

I have been through some very devastating things in my life, and I can say with certainty that we are GRIEVING right now. TikTok was a safe place for so many of us. And having that taken away tells us how little our government understands or cares about what makes us tick.

I don’t think you’re overreacting. I am sobbing. TikTok is not just an app. It was a place. I felt safe there.

Me too 😭

Is anyone else having trouble accessing red note also?

DID THEY TAKE Red Note too?????? 🤯😡

Me too.

If you need me, I’ll be trapped in this dimension

One hundred percent yes
