i have nothing better to do so this is gonna be a thread of me answering all these https://twitter.com/diamondthrone/status/1318727152792227846
no clue about my friends but personally no due to my mom having lung issues, doubt we'd do em even if that weren't the case tho https://twitter.com/diamondthrone/status/1318727154260185091?s=20
my mom usually just makes prepackaged stuff but otherwise pasta and either chicken or steak https://twitter.com/diamondthrone/status/1318727155061317633?s=20
oh definitely, my older sister did too since she was already a legal adult when she lived with us when i was a kid (late 20/early 30s at the time i think, so she wasn't just 18 pulling that shit) https://twitter.com/diamondthrone/status/1318727155795320832?s=20
sorta? my dad and i both like punk stuff but he's more into the classics, my mom never stuck with any genres/bands outside of singular songs really but she likes fif and got their merch so sure ig https://twitter.com/diamondthrone/status/1318727156541870081?s=20
the general area is mostly white but my town/neighborhood tends to have more pocs, there's definitely a lot of tension there because of it and it really sucks to have to see it https://twitter.com/diamondthrone/status/1318727157338734597?s=20
i generally try to, more often than not it's people who misunderstand the blm movement and get stubborn over it but usually they come around https://twitter.com/diamondthrone/status/1318727158148325377?s=20
yep, and my parents were literally the complete opposite of surprised https://twitter.com/diamondthrone/status/1318727159016554497?s=20
in general? nah, we deserve that shit.
it only bugs me when people try to discredit my opinions by making white jokes if the (serious) subject at hand isn't focused on race. (ex: they discredit my opinions on ableism using white jokes) https://twitter.com/diamondthrone/status/1318727159867998210?s=20

^^ of course racism is tied into ableism, a lot of discrimination goes hand in hand and poc groups tend to be more affected by them, but when i'm talking about general ableism as a whole (as an autistic speaker) then it gets annoying if people try to discredit personal experience
i never really had to be told, it's just something i picked up on over time through context. i forget it exists sometimes tbh so if you ever catch me saying it it's probably because i'm trying to talk about cat breeds and shortened the name the wrong way https://twitter.com/diamondthrone/status/1318727160769675265?s=20
i definitely support it, my family is... iffy. i'm trying to educate them, they just don't fully understand the protests. https://twitter.com/diamondthrone/status/1318727161566683142?s=20
generally yeah, there's a few assholes still of course but i live close enough to sf for people to at least learn to be quiet about it because they just assume there's gonna be a lot of gays around https://twitter.com/diamondthrone/status/1318727162334236674?s=20
boring as shit tbh, haven't gone in years outside of summer camp and the youth group at least is chill because they're generally just a bunch of gamers who are only in it for the free snacks, laser tag, and slip n slide kickball tournament https://twitter.com/diamondthrone/status/1318727163198214145?s=20
i've seen this term thrown around a lot in different ways and tbh i'm not 100% clear on the definition so i'll hold off on answering this one until if/when somebody has the time to clear it up for me because i don't want to say something wrong by mistake https://twitter.com/diamondthrone/status/1318727163965734912?s=20
people in minority groups tend to stick together, as one of the lgbt/nd kids i generally avoided the popular crowd so i can't speak for them. there's some assholes but generally if you're quiet you're left alone. also the disability support system is SHIT https://twitter.com/diamondthrone/status/1318727164691386369?s=20
i got to a community college, not really sure of it's history tbh. never really considered any hbcu's simply because i don't give a shit about college really https://twitter.com/diamondthrone/status/1318727165547024385?s=20
never knew it even existed until 5th grade when a classmate claimed i said it to try to get me in trouble, the teachers only believed i was innocent after they realized i thought the n word they were referring to was nerd https://twitter.com/diamondthrone/status/1318727167639957509?s=20
definitely, there's never a reason to speak over a poc on topics they've experienced firsthand that you'll never know yourself. i try to step in where i can but tbh i just sometimes lack the social skill to step in https://twitter.com/diamondthrone/status/1318727168411734016?s=20
i wasn't too surprised considering racism is literally everywhere we look in the current day but it still makes me sad that a subculture rooted in politics/fighting injustice is still just as bad as the rest of the world at having basic fucking respect https://twitter.com/diamondthrone/status/1318727169212846083?s=20
as an autistic person who is just as confused as you because social shit is Hard i wish i knew- https://twitter.com/diamondthrone/status/1318727170290819072?s=20
i hate parties and avoid them at all costs, only ever been to one and it was an ep release for a high school friend's band. all live music in the backyard from 4 different artists if i remember right, all ranging from acoustic to funk rock to metal. https://twitter.com/diamondthrone/status/1318727171209388034?s=20
i know of its existence but haven't used one https://twitter.com/diamondthrone/status/1318727172161417221?s=20
