This is also a disability justice issue.

Yikes! I once unthinkingly sprayed on an alcohol-based deodorant right after shaving. It stung so bad it made my eyes water

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

The whites are literally arguing it's literally *unconstitutional* if they're not OVERREPRESNTED in Congress.

At least 19 Palestinian doctors are still being held in Israeli detention without charge.

Like I keep saying, the creators of this shit think people will use this to create their own original ideas, but the vast majority of people who will use it are the ones who think "I could put Marilyn Monroe in GoT", "I can fix The Last Jedi", or, more likely, something (derogatory) perverted.

With today's news that a turkey farm in Minnesota, despite installing lasers & other biohazard measures has their flock infected by H5N1 infected, it is important to remember that not only commercial poultry die. Endangered species do too, like Whooping Cranes. POTUS canceled funding for Vaccine.

I have forgiven the sports posters since they have introduced me to Matilda

With the continuous rise of prices for games, systems, and tech, and as companies like Xbox announce further increases for services like Game Pass, some disabled individuals are choosing to forgo AAA gaming altogether. Read my latest Access Granted report here:
