HIs name is Fuku and he’s deaf. His owner’s instagram says he was just ‘singing’. Considering he is deaf it’s likely he has no idea how loud he is.
Now someone make a remix of Fuku

[The Women’s March on Washington Disability Caucus tweeted:
“A few points around why removing people from their wheelchairs is [police brutality]:
Wheelchairs are sometimes the only form of movement disabled people have.
Removing them from it can mean they have no way to move. No way to use restrooms or get out of the way in emergency.
Wheelchairs can be the only way a disabled person can sit correctly. Reduces stress on body.
Many have cushions 2 reduce pressure/hot spots. Pressure sores can lead 2 severe illness and even death.
It shouldn’t be our fault they don’t have accessible vans/don’t know how to use our chairs.
Recently, a person was charged with resisting arrest because police didn’t know how to use wheelchair. Even after she explained how to drive it.
Stuff like this is ridiculous. If u talk abt [police brutality], make sure you talk abt how disabled community is affected.
Especially disabled people of color #blacklivesmatter #policebrutality #disabilityrights”]
Do any other autistic people dislike going to the barber due to sensory issues and potential small talk when getting your hair cut?
Ah.
“One reason why we have not learned more from this history is that queers do not have the institutions for common memory and generational transmission around which straight culture is built. Every new wave of queer youth picks up something rom its predecessors but also invents itself from scratch. Many are convinced that they have nothing to learn from old dykes and clones and trolls, and no institutions–neither households nor schools nor churches nor political groups–ensure that this will happen. And since the most painfully instructed generation has been decimated by death, the queer culture of the present faces more than the usual shortfall in memory. Now younger queers are told all too often that a principled defense of nonnormative sex is just a relic of bygone ‘liberationism.’ This story is given out in bland confidence, since so many of the people who would have contradicted it have died.”
The excerpt is from The Trouble with Normal: Sex, Politics, and the Ethics of Queer Life by Michael Warner.
