Transcript: "They say nobody is coming to save you, but many people have saved me, even if they didn't intend to.
"It can be as small as a smile from a stranger, a nudge from an animal, words from a writer, the lyrics to a song, an observant friend.
"We are all saving each other every single day in tiny seemingly insignificant ways." source

Some people have a hard time recognizing privilege, saying “I work hard. I don’t get things handed to me.” I understand that. Here’s how I respond: privilege isn’t bonus points for you and your team. It’s unfair penalties the other team gets that you don’t.
Privilege isn’t the presence of perks and benefits. It’s the absence of obstacles and barriers. That’s a lot harder to notice. If you have a hard time recognizing your privileges, focus on what you don’t have to go through. Let that fuel your empathy and action.

有些人很難辨認出自己身上的特權，他們會說：「我很努力工作。我從來沒有免費獲得任何好處。」我理解他們的感受。我的回應是：特權並不是你和你團隊的加分項，而是其它隊伍受到但你的隊伍沒有受到的不公平懲罰。
特權並不是指獲得好處或福利，而是是沒有障礙和阻礙的存在。這一點很難被察覺到。如果你很難辨認出自己身上的特權，那就專注於那些你從來都不需要經歷的事情。讓它激發你的同理心和行動。

One of my favourite parts about autistic people is how you can use other peoples' reflections of them like an echolocation bullshit detector. Like they personally do not need to do shit for this to work, they just passively emit their own autistic vibe that bounces off every surface around them, and you can assess another person's level of self-awareness by how they reflect it back.
"Autistic people do not understand social hierarchy" nope, they understand you're supposed to be an authority here, but they won't politely pretend to respect you if they think you're incompetent.
"Autistic people do not understand humour" nope, they just don't politely pretend to laugh to humour you, and you are simply not funny.
"Autistic people are rude" nope, they just don't think it's polite to lie to you, and don't care about trying to tell you what they think you want to hear instead of telling you what they think. source

To those in red states and don’t feel safe, there are no words I can think of to ease the terror you and I feel. All I can truly say is you are not alone. You may feel apprehensive or isolated. Stay low, and if you can seek out community in those you trust or even strangers on the internet who are having the same thoughts as you. Community at this time will be the most important thing.
While it is important to stay informed, especially now, stay away from doom scrolling. Mental health is just as important as staying informed, maybe even more.
Anything you come across you think is important to share, make sure it is legit and do extra research. Presently, our most popular social media sites are being used as nothing but propaganda and a way to spread misinformation. source
