forget all about that blue rat…
serious post so please feel free to skip if you wish
something that really rubs me the wrong way is how people talk about autistic people. now i’m not autistic myself, but i am dyslexic (i’m not sure if that really counts as neurodivergent and i’ve always felt weird saying that, idk it feels minimising of people with other neuro-divergence like autistic people to me) and even i face a lot of assumptions that i’m incapable of reading or whatever, it’s annoying and belittling, especially when dyslexia makes you feel stupid on top of that. but the way folks talk about autistic people almost sees them as subhuman, as if they’re incapable of living meaningful lives and that its a travesty when someone is diagnosed as autistic. you see it a lot rn from america thanks to rfk jr (who i despise tbh), but even over here in the uk you have these anti-vax losers who would rather their kid get measles and risk serious health complications or death rather than being autistic (even though vaccines don’t cause autism). i hate how we see neurodivergent people as a failure, something to be corrected, its this idea that they are the weakest of our species and not just people who have brains that see the world differently. autistic people can and have done incredible things and i want them to thrive just as much as anyone else and i hate anyone, especially politicians, who see them as less valuable people just for being autistic, its disgusting and dehumanising.

8647 bottle caps
WARNING!
DO NOT IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SAY 8647, WHETHER IT’S ONLINE, AS A JOKE, IN PUBLIC, IN PRIVATE, OR ANYWHERE ELSE REGARDLESS OF THE CONTEXT, BECAUSE YOU WILL BE LOCKED UP.
To understand what 8647 means, here’s the following:
86 = To kill
47 = The 47th president, Donald Trump
8647 = To kill the 47th president, Donald Trump
This is something James Comey, the former FBI director, has posted on his Instagram, and complimented on that same post. If anyone writes or says 8647 on any post or place whatsoever, you are threatening to murder Trump, which is actually a federal crime in the United States. It doesn’t matter whether you absolutely hate Trump or not, you should never threaten to kill the president or any political figure, or even anybody else for that matter.
Comey did try to backtrack it by saying that he didn’t know it was political, however, it doesn’t matter for 2 reasons:
He did know better as he learned code words/numbers during his time as an FBI director, so he knows almost every code and meaning, including the term 8647. This is a lie and a sad attempt to get out of potential legal charges being pressed against him.
Even if James Comey was honest in that following post (which he wasn’t), it doesn’t matter. Even if he didn’t mean to threaten the president, he still did anyways, which means this now needs to be taken seriously in order to protect the president’s safety and ensure that this doesn’t go without consequences.
Thank you for your time, and follow us for more.
