'Why do I feel like death is near?': Mental state of suspect in fiery, deadly L.A. crash probed in court latimes.com/california/story…
#NicoleLinton
Ok, but why is no one talking about the fact that Brianna Ghey was autistic and had ADHD, which made her even more vulnerable as a transgender teen, but all media sources were talking about the evil perps being neurodivergent, in particular, Eddie Ratcliffe’s being autistic? (1)
It’s almost as if being a cis white male with a two-parent family and other privilege trumps anything and anyone else - Imagine that? Even though it’s not explicitly said, I feel like Eddie got some sympathy because of this and as a LGBTQ black female, it pisses me off. (2)
@TheTrialPodcast also had an ‘expert’ in autism who sounded as though they were subtly sympathetic towards Eddie as ‘a person with autism’.Please address this; Brianna’s neurodivergence was only reported much later on but Eddie’s was much earlier on. One does trump the other (4)
Not to mention, it really makes people’s representation of autism the same old ‘white male’ character, which makes anyone else who’s NOT that harder to get a diagnosis. Also, let’s not forget he knew what he was doing. We do usually have a good, if not strong moral compass. (3)

TW: Brianna Ghey
Just seen autism blamed for the murder of that poor girl. One of the suspects is autistic apparently.
I just wanted to warn all my autistic and/or trans friends (so that's pretty much all of you) so you can prepare for all the extra bullshit headed our way
@pizzahutuk I just had a terrible birthday experience at your Surrey Quays branch. Your MANAGER completely ignored me while I was holding the baby, waiting for a seat. She walked past multiple times and not a word to me about the wait time. (1)
Just a follow up on this post for anyone reading it, @pizzahutuk have accepted this is unacceptable behaviour but I won’t be hearing the outcome, nor will I get any compensation for it.
This is the exact restaurant I’ve come to for most of my birthdays since childhood. It’s ruined my fond memories and left me very upset too, not to mention my toddler not having his first Pizza Hut experience. I don’t think I’ll be using this branch again (6)
So, I didn’t stay for the meal in the end. I left with an empty stomach & feeling extremely upset. After she left, a kind worker apologised & asked us to stay, Whilst a white couple had come in & the same manager was talking to them about seating, but had ignored us earlier (5)
So I told her I’d been waiting a while and that all she had to do was communicate how long she’d be or that they were cleaning a table. She was shouting enough that people who were also in the restaurant were looking over at us. My 11 month old was crying, I was upset too (4)
She came over and started being condescending about how waiting works, she had a raised, intimidating voice and was really rude to me. No emapthy about waiting with a toddler. I was even wearing my birthday badge. I asked her for her name to make a complaint and she refused (3)
Then, I asked her if I could sit somewhere, but she rudely waved and said she would be with me shortly. No thank you for waiting, not a please or anything. Eventually I went to sit somewhere while I held the baby, as we were both tired, but excited to start eating (2)

evangelicals will say “all you need to do to be a christian is accept jesus into your heart” but then they don’t believe queer people who do just that are christians so they really believe that you have to accept jesus into your heart AND be straight

Has she made a website for anyone wearing mixed fabrics, cheating on their spouse, divorced, lusting over another woman, etc. Stop with the ‘homosexuality is against my religion’ bullshit. You’re not a Christian upholding your values, you’re a bigot funded by fake christians.
