Aurin (ki/ki/kis) :autism:

Practical thing for do for fight triad of abuse/rape culture and fascism?

- believe survivor/victim and support
- foster athmosphere of respect of boundaries, limits, feelings, needs and wants
- #ConsentCulture be of import and be for sex and for nonsexual thing as well
- practice respect of body and bodily autonomy for self and other
- celebrate joy of life!

more concrete example:
- someone say "not can do task"? you not push. task maybe important for cause, but friend/comrade IS cause!
- someone upset, sad, have strong emotion, dissociate, leave suddenly? offer help if can guess what is needed, go after person for offer support, ask how help and then do
- make sure everyone (include you!) have food and rest and check in regular, make habit of check in: Need of body?
- have snack on table in in-person meeting or living space
- be connect to body of self and other (if consent) and be good friends with. learn and practice communicate with own body and other (if/when wanted)
- learn own body signal for distress or need or enjoy, learn friend signal, learn what different stim of autistic friend mean
- make space accessible, ask of accessibility need, normalise talk about, respect conflicting needs and invite creativity for find way of handle
- learn listen to instinct/ gut feeling/ vibes! this very important and no substitute for, because abuser good at twist word, like (fascist/enabling) politician
- if person give bad vibe, or you notice feel worse in body or mind if person around? GET AWAY from person, no matter who, even mother. catch breath. reflect. talk with trusted friend if possible. then decide if still be let bad vibe person in life.
- support self and other for cut contact with abuser, even if parent, and unlearn feeling of obligation to abuser (is same as unlearn loyalty to unjust government)
- listen to vibe be process of learn. bring feeling of vibes together with other sense, with feeling of body, with emotion, with knowledge and logic and with what other ppl know. make choice base on all those
- be you and obey only own value, not any authority you not trust. support other in do same, even if they be wrong, even if they question YOU. you stand by own opinion but respect friend have other view
- admit mistake and learn and grow and support other do same
- no shame to make friend change, no shame to shut down or cut off friend from group - goal be reconnection (unless it not friend but abuser)
- celebrate weirdness, craziness, difference, surprises in how people are or feel or act
- value fun, celebration, joy, light heartedness and childishness

People who champion the nuclear family and insist that it is the only way to have a healthy family, are ridiculously misinformed.

The nuclear family -- as has been enforced by monarchial, state, and corporate powers -- is an exceedingly recent invention.

Humans have been around for hundreds of thousands of years.

We evolved to be cooperative breeders, with communities that heavily engaged in alloparenting ➡️

Strange Seawolf 🕒 CET

Looking for a Christmas present for the Space Opera nerd in your life? The one who insists on you watching The Expanse and all of Star Trek with them although you really, truly don't care about SciFi?

How about giving them Herald Petrel for Christmas? It is 457 pages and so they will be occupied for a while.

It has a #mystery to be solved, quirky characters and is about #loss, #love, #humanity, #coping, and #hope in a hopeless situation.

Warning: It doesn't have a white guy as a captain who fixes everything. And there is A LOT that needs fixing.

You can get it in all your fav book stores: books2read.com/HeraldPetrel

Book cover of the SciFi novel Herald Petrel by Strange Seawolf, depicting Captain Harold Galahad running down a beaten up corridor on a space ship. He looks determined and wears a deranged company uniform with a long, flowing cloak, under his arm he carries a green glowing machine part. Artwork by Alj: https://www.instagram.com/aljeensane/
Back of the book with the blurb reading: If you ask Harold Galahad, he isn’t fit to lead the crew of the half-destroyed cargo spaceship Herald Petrel back home. But nobody asks Harry. An explosion leaves the ship helplessly floating in space and Harry reliving his own personal nightmare. He doesn’t want to be a captain anymore, and nobody trusts him as captain—least of all himself. The crew behaves strangely, his first officer is less than helpful, and the more he finds out, the more Harry has to challenge his own beliefs. While forced to relive the darkest part of his past, Captain Harold Galahad needs to figure out what happened and find a way back home.

Hello, #FediBookFair It's been great looking through everyone's titles.

Adding into the mix my funny, heart-warming, middle-grade fantasy series (The House At The Edge Of Magic) about Nine, a pickpocket orphan who steals a cursed house ornament and gets more than she bargained for.

Cue magic, mayhem & adventure as Nine gets to know her found family and uncovers secrets about who she really is.

5% royalties go to baby charity ICP Support

Four middle-grade children's books by Amy Sparkes in a series, laid out in a row. Book 1: The House At The Edge of Magic - a many-storeyed wonky, chaotic magical house set against a moonlit sky. Book 2: The Tower At The End of Time - a wonky tower with turrets and battlements set against a dreamy oranges and pinks. Book 3: The Bookshop At The Back Of Beyond - a tall, thin building with books dotted everywhere and a huge open, face-down book as the roof. Book 4: Th Lighthouse At The World's End - a magical lighthouse against sea-greens and blues, with a flaming silver beacon at its top, and the beam of light coming from the lantern room below. On each cover is featured Nine - the scruffy, determined protagonist and Flabberghast, the young, chaotic wizard.
