Jubilee normalizing hate speech and radicalizing people against marginalized groups towards alt-right extremism under the guise of "free speech" or "bringing people together" is absolutely disgusting.

It's extremely harmful and predatory.

People's EXISTENCE is NOT a debate topic.

Welcome to America's continuous push towards fascism.

My Youtube is where all the shorts go for now ig, follow there if you're interested in some short and long form commentary and discussion about lgbtq+ and mental health topics

It's only here to further insult a group of people.

This is ableism at its finest. And normalizing this language--especially as someone who has such a large platform--has very negative real-world consequences. It's disgusting. Dream should be ashamed of himself.

You don't get to go around calling people the r-slur with a negative connotation attached to it and say "Oh I'm reclaiming it." Because you aren't reclaiming ANYTHING.
January 13, 2025 at 3:05 AM
Disabled people can still be ableist!!

Let's talk about Dream's use of the R-Slur here.

Lots of people online have tried justifying this usage of the term, citing that Dream's has been diagnosed with Autism.

Rising housing costs are great for people who own homes, and horrible for people who don't already own a home.

All of us weren't old enough to buy a home in 2009. And now, they're too expensive.

Every year that housing prices increase, it becomes more difficult for a non-homer to afford one.

I just need help actually MAKING the puppets, the sets, etc--as well as finding/paying voice actors!

If you're interested in supporting the project, you can DM me for more information! )

Just keep working at it, keep practicing your social/communication skills, and eventually, you'll find a group of friends who love you and see you for who you are!

The little kid you see here? Was full of anxiety.

Full of confusion about social interactions, curious about the world, and often wondered where they fit into it all.

I tried to fit in and tried and tried, and--for YEARS--never quite seemed to get it.

Through revision to the goals, practice, and guidance/help from a support network (be that friends, mentors, and (hopefully) licensed professionals, you'll get better at it!!💯

I've failed. Many, many times. And so has EVERY OTHER PERSON on the planet.

Set goals, fail those goals, and reassess the goals.

Just look at this photo I took earlier. It's a lot of things, but a "successful selfie" is NOT one of them lmao. And that's okay!
December 9, 2024 at 4:04 AM
It's okay to struggle. You'll get better the more you do it. It's okay if it takes a while to practice those skills! And it's okay if you fail.💙

Life is all about failing and getting back up and trying again. The more you fail and get back up, the better you'll be.

I find it funny that when I was a teenager getting help for my depression/anxiety/neurodivergency, I set a goal to have at least ONE conversation once per week with a random person.

That was very difficult.

Went to an exhibit about Salvador Dali.

The guy seemed like kind of a jerk. But his artwork was cool!
