@autisticrealms.bsky.social @stimpunks.org @jemoyer.bsky.social and anyone else who thinks that electro-shock "deterrence" in institutional setting is a horrific remnant of an all-too-biased and harmful past that has gone overlong for remedy and redress. #STOP_THE_SHOCK 🖖📣

Neurodivergent people are functioning as the "miners' canaries" of civilisation.
When the air in the mine is poisoned we do not prevent canaries being born in case they suffer from the poison and upset us: we clean the air or close the mine.

Honoring all the Autistic people who survive the care system, somehow.
All those who survive extreme "therapy."
And all who did not survive this onslaught.

"I had to create a world of my own, like a climate, a country, an atmosphere in which I could breathe, reign, and recreate myself when destroyed by living."

Stimpunks exists so we can survive.

Psychoanalysis pathologized autism from the start. The 'autism as facehugger' model. The knight-therapist. The child to be rescued from themselves.
What neuroqueering child psychotherapy could look like instead.

"Free for all" was never a description. It was a demand. Sunday's Campfire: the documentary on who the public library was actually free *for*. 10AM CT, Discord. All bodyminds welcome.
This is what it costs to make a word like all mean what it says.

This is our philosophy of survival. Not the inspirational kind. The real kind — gritty, communal, unfinished. We keep on livin’. Not because systems get fixed or pain disappears. Because we show up…
Queer and neurodivergent liberation are entwined. We’re celebrating both at once — because for many of us, the two rainbows are one. Tonight’s Infodumplings lands on the opening night of…

Peering out from the edge of a lake. The water is still, but lapping restlessly. What lies beneath? I am eager to know but alone on the edge of the lake. A hood covers my features. I take a step into…

Outrageous! #StopTheShock
“The deadline, pegged to the end of May, has now passed without a verdict, leaving disability rights activists and former recipients of these shocks worried that they will continue.”
This is barbaric and we can’t allow our Autistic & other disabled friends suffer this way
The FDA has missed a self-imposed deadline to ban the use of electrical shock devices in people with intellectual disabilities.
Autistic man Freestone Wilson suggested in the 1990s that autistic people are functioning as the “miners’ canaries” of civilisation. When the air in the mine is poisoned we do not prevent canaries…

Oh! I found an update from Sam Farmer on his #StopTheShock advocacy
In Feb 2026 they designated H.245 as being subjected to a “study order” which is reportedly a common strategy to kill bills
They want to keep zapping autistic kids when misbehaving & don’t care about the trauma they are causing
A travesty of justice! Clearly, the powers that be don’t have their priorities straight.
