sometimes, people don’t understand that we are hated for being autistic. “But I don’t hate autistic people!”.

That’s right! Because you don’t know how autistic people are.

You know, people never bullied me for being autistic. Because neither me nor they had the terminology. Nah, they punished me for being /weird./ And what made me weird to their eyes? I spoke /weird/ and often stumbled, and I spoke like a grownup anyway, and I wouldn’t shut up about Ancient Greece. I moved /weird/ too, because I was (am) really clumsy, and I didn’t have any friends. I was boring and didn’t catch jokes (made at my expense) and I didn’t look them in the eye, and so on and on.

If you asked any of the people who bullied me for years whether they hate autistic people, they’d say “no!”. Because they don’t hate autistic people, but oh boy do they hate /weird/ people. Perhaps they don’t hate autistic people, but surely they hated me for being obviously autistic.

Furry smut 

Oh right, I forgot to post this recent commission I completed.

Good morning everyone! Have a sweet and wonderful day today! Love you all and remember that you are valid! 💖💖💖🐿️🌺🏳️‍🌈

Happy Dwayne Stafford Day

RT @Cubano_Boxing@twitter.com

On this day in Black history my boy Dwayne Stafford (whom I’ve personally spoken to before) whooped Dylann Roof’s ass in jail certifying himself as a legend in every hood across America. Due to this a GoFundMe was started for him & he eventually earned enough to bond himself out.

WIP Prize Art for a lovely bird friend.

The part about tone policing was pretty great too.

If you really want justice for all, it doesn't matter if they demand it "nicely". It doesn't matter if their anger is uncomfortable for you. If you want justice for everyone, it means E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E, friend or not.
If you say you're not supporting #feminism because feminist women are too angry, if you say you're not actively fighting #racism because POC are too loud and emotional, you never wanted it in the first place. #AmReading

The Mummy Returns music is again making me think that it’d ROCK to have a D&D game in The Black Land. All KMT all the time. I bet I could do basically this with Dark Sun, the setting in which everyone shaves their head and wears linen kilts.

Never forget Ferguson.

Or that the tools of the enemy can be turned on them.

There is no bargaining with someone who intends your destruction and does not want you to share their end goal.

Guess who’s a delegate now??

If you’re near NYC and you wanna pay dues or join the IWW, hit me up!!

Suffragettes got seen as pathetic, "plain looking", and obviously they are all "down with man" and completely unreasonable!

@Ulfra_Wolfe @AliceGrimaude Learning to do better is not easy, it hasn't been, and I admit I slip up sometimes still, but I feel like I really have something to look forward to every day once I course-corrected.

Seeing you and Alice, and the rest of the Grimaude family keeps me motivated to do better.

While I am here I can give an :
My name is Valerie Grimaude-Valens, but you can also call me Freya. I am an 8 foot tall Squirrel Werewolf who rejected heaven. I am a sister to @AliceGrimaude and a mother to @Vedia_Lupae

I am a former fascist who had reformed into an anarcho-syndicalist and a supporter of antifa. I sometimes talk about my time in the AltFurry cult to help people avoid falling in with that bad crowd, and to demolish the rhetoric they use to poison the community.

So time:
I'm Alice, I'm a 15-foot demon rabbit who lays eggs and occasionally eats people.
I love @Ulfra_Wolfe and the Grimaude family, and I'm still trying to figure out my sense of identity.
Any pronouns are usually fine, ask if unsure.
Matthew Wolfbane/Silvermane and Aleissa Stormwind are also facets of myself.
