I am a high schooler looking to learn how to code, and can not decide whether I want to learn Ruby, Python or Java. If it helps to know what I am using it for, I want to eventually learn how to create basic websites. Also, where do I start when learning how to code? Do you know any good resources?

"White women: it is time to do your part! Your white children reinforce the white supremacist society that benefits you. If you claim to be progressive, and yet willingly birth white children by your own choice, you are a hypocrite. White women should be encouraged to abort their white children...

It feels like unless you aren't apart of EVERY single marginalized group (disabled, gay, trans, female, black, etc.) that you automatically have an easy life BUT I hate when people online and IRL invalidate my experiences as an autistic person by treating me like my "whiteness cancels out the ...

Lately I have been feeling really upset because it seems that all everyone on the internet wants to do is compete to be the most oppressed. It feels like unless you aren't apart of EVERY single marginalized group (disabled, gay, trans, female, black, etc.) that you automatically have an easy life, e...

Yep~! This type of thing seems to be common among people on the spectrum. I think it stems from the not understanding certain social cues and knowing what is and is not an appropriate thing to say, or when it is no longer ok to say it. I have tried to fix this bad habit multiple times, but it still ...

Just "correct" her! Tell her "I am not a Mayo Ass". I am a "an ass of mayonaisseness". Because shouldn't it be "ass first" language, rather than "identity first" language? And if she responds to that by accusing you of being a "wise ass", ...

Although I am pretty uncoordinated compared to a neurotypical, I am a VERY fast runner. I did soccer, rugby and long distance running, and have excelled in these areas over the course of my life because of the heavy emphasis on sprinting and endurance. Sports like rugby I played even though I HATE p...

I agree with this, as a autistic woman and also as a member of the LGBT communtity (bisexual) I feel that I am content with the representation I get both as a woman and as a bisexual, but not autistic. Feminism is so mainstream these days that I feel very safe, protected and advocated for as a woman...

I recently had an experience on instagram that left me feeling very frustrated. I was looking through the comments of a post about autism awareness (made by an autistic person) and I saw that one of the commenters was replying to all of the autistic commenters who used identity-first-language (autis...

I was 18 maybe 17. I honestly do not remember my first time. That is odd to a lot of people. I am pretty sure it was 1 of 2 or 3 times I remember in my mind. I am 100% sure of the person though. After I felt like sex is really a bigger deal to those who never had it. Sure I enjoyed and wanted to do...

I love to use stim toys. I have a fidget spinner but only use it in private because people are VERY judgemental if I ever use it in public, which SUCKS! I also have a fidget cube, which is my favourite because I love the satisfying clicking noises that it makes. I also have a horrible habit of pulli...

Im extremely thin skinned as well and horrible with constructive criticism or really any suggestions at all. I dwell on even the slightest thing that upsets me for days, sometimes even weeks, and when I have finally learned to let it go, I find something else that upsets me... :oops:
