How it feels watching the problematic event getting glazed because of one or two good things happening within it

Talking about the Night of Too Many Stars event. Like okay, John Mulaney mocked RFK Jr. a bit at one point, but it’s not a meaningful addressing of him being at the 2008 event. And NEXT For Autism is pretty tied to Autism Speaks, they even share board members with each other.

That Night of Too Many Stars thing I’ve been warning you about is airing tomorrow at 7:30 PM at Netflix Is A Joke Fest. I wish I had the time to force myself through every single one since 2003, but:

  1. I don’t.
  2. I‘ll be forced through another nasty mental spiral like the one I had from the sheer amount of ableism from last year.

I hope that there will be a pirated version up soon after it airs, but until then, I’ll just go on Getty Images search-bar of the event to see who shows up (other than the ones listed). Also, I checked the Netflix Is A Joke Fest site and Kevin Nealon’s gonna be there, too. He’s close friends with RFK Jr, btw.

AS WE KNOW, THE INSPIRATION PORN FEST OF NIGHT OF TOO MANY STARS, BENEFITTING FRAUDISM SPEAKS AFFILIATE NEXT FOR AUTISM AND HOSTED BY NEXT’S BOARD MEMBER JON STEWART, IS GOING TO HAPPEN ON MAY 7 AT NETFLIX IS A JOKE FEST. GUESTS WILL INCLUDE RIYADH PARTICIPANT BILL BURR, FRIEND OF NOA TISHBY TIFFANY HADDISH, AND KNOWN MISOGYNIST MATT RIFE, AS WELL AS MULTIPLE OTHER DISAPPOINTMENTS AND PIECES OF SHIT. AS COUNTER PROTEST, I’VE DECIDED THAT SOME OF YOU STAND UP COMEDIANS ON THIS SITE COULD ROUND UP OTHER AUTISTIC COMEDIANS IN YOUR AREA AND SET UP WHAT I CALL AN AUT NIGHT AT YOUR LOCAL SENSORY FRIENDLY VENUE OR ONLINE. THE EVENT IS GOING TO TAKE PLACE ON THE SAME DAY, AND HOPEFULLY, MUST BE LIVE-STREAMED ON SOMEWHERE ACCESSIBLE LIKE YOUTUBE. FULL VIDEOS CAN GO ON THIS SITE AS WELL. IF POSSIBLE, ALL PROCEEDS MUST GO TO:

- THE AUTISTIC SELF ADVOCACY NETWORK

- THE AUTISTIC WOMEN AND NON BINARY NETWORK

- COMMUNICATIONFIRST

- YOUR LOCAL DECENT AUTISTIC ADVOCACY GROUP

HOPEFULLY, MOST ON THIS SUB AREN’T IGNORANT ENOUGH TO DONATE TO FRAUDISM SPEAKS OR OTHER BULLSHIT. HOPEFULLY, IT‘S BETTER THAN THE BULLSHIT AT NETFLIX. THANKS FOR READING.

Just asking. Looked at their board of directors, not only are most of them cishet white guys, but there’s no bio on the site, so how am I supposed to know if any of them are I/DD (intellectually/developmentally disabled)? I’m just asking, I’m scared they could turn out to be abled saviors who think the bare minimum of not saying the r slur, not parroting anti vax bullshit, and merely advocating for inclusion is enough. If you are going to include us, platform our voices, verbalized, signed, or written/typed.
