Don't give me flowers
give me wine
Or both
Good morning then
And cheese
And a week off + a plane ticket to anywhere in Italy
And a million dollars
And a naked sold...

sorry that wasn't me typing

When you’re autistic, you’ll have days when you’ll struggle to complete very basic tasks and do “simple” things like saying a mere “yes” or “no” to somebody - and you’ll feel completely exhausted after doing so.

This is me today.
I could pretend that everything is fine today, but I want you to know that there are many challenges and the days can be incredibly difficult. This is not only about having “superpowers” (I hate this concept). But that’s exactly when you can see who really accepts you as you are.
And I’m not saying that for any selfish reason. But as someone with a platform, it’s important for me to use my voice and share my experiences whenever I can.

Dolores Cacuango was a pioneer in the fight for indigenous rights in Ecuador. She stood out in the political arena and was one of the first activists of Ecuadorian feminism. #WHM2021

"We are like the straw from the fells of the Andes, while you pull it out, it grows again." Image
Dolores was well aware of the difficult situation of indigenous women in the Haciendas, often being raped, beaten and forced to work without any remuneration, but appealed to the whole of society with her words.
“We want the indigenous to know who they are giving birth to, so they are never again raped by their devil boss, so no more children are born without a father and be despised children,” she used to say.

“‘Are you not looking too much to the material condition of these people,’ said a good minister to me after a lecture in a Harlem church last winter, ‘and forgetting the inner man?’

Milunka Savić was a Serbian war heroine who fought in the Balkan Wars and in WWI. Her brother got called to serve in the First Balkan War in 1912, but Milunka decided to take his place. Today, she is considered the most-decorated female combatant in the history of warfare. #WHM
"Milunka Savić decided she wanted a bit of this war lark, so she lopped her hair off and donned her brother’s clothes and headed off to the front. She was quickly thrown into combat, and it wasn’t long before she received her first medal.
It was on her 10th mission that her gender was finally revealed. She had been wounded before, but up until this point she had always avoided being hit in the chest. Bulgarian shrapnel put paid to this, and Milunka was taken to the field doctor.
