Me: why am I in such a state of ennui?
Also me: It’s 9am and my back already hurts… I forgot to take my meds 2 hours ago, didn’t I.
Has anyone studied the pipeline from militant vegans to yt leftists? Because the same yt supremacy that exists within militant vegan spaces is starting to crop up in yt leftist spaces.
Two people in a situation can both be ableist. Abbott’s policies and laws he’s helped enact in Texas doesn’t negate that what Rep. Crockett said was ableist.

I’m an ambulatory wheelchair user & I’m in a weird place where I think the word choice of hotwheels is fucking hysterical but also she should not have said that but also fuck that guy but also why are you mocking his wheelchair specifically But Also hotwheels?? Lmfao????
Whenever I talk about #ableism and #accessibility in #fandom spaces, I’ve gotten dismissed for decades. So if #LeftistNerds are going to be talking about #SafeSpaces, if ableism isn’t a part of that conversation, you’re doing it wrong.
I just saw a #Leftist on TikTok praising Fidel Castro for a quote criticizing capitalism. Someone who’s a leftist please go get them and handle that situation because I’m not a leftist and not my circus, not my lions, you know? #NotMyCircus
Them: If you’re a part of the [FILL] fandom, even a little, you’re bigoted against [MINORITY GROUP]
Me: so when I do it, I’m bigoted, but when I complain to you about ableism in [MEDIA], I should STFU and stop complaining? Hint: they’re all ableist.

If anyone is thinking that the “wellness farms” is a good idea, America did this a long time ago, which inspired a little program called Aktion T4. #holocaust #disabledhistory #eugenics
If you claim that #OnlineActivism isn’t real activism, your activism isn’t #accessible.
#Activism is becoming a stick that people can hit each other with in some kind of morality contest and it has me concerned. A lot of activism spaces have #AccessibilityIssues, excluding #DisabledPeople; other spaces aren’t safe for a variety of minorities.
I saw a post re: upholding & respecting pronouns/implying that not having pronouns regresses language. I replied that they should specify that it regresses English, since there are plenty of languages that don’t have pronouns or use few. OP snarked back while wrongly assuming my gender. #irony
This was word-for-word something that someone commented to me trying to argue that "dumb" isn't ableist. It is, in fact, ableist. #ableism #AbleistLanguage #DisabilityActivism
Disabled community: "Hey, that word you're using is an ableist slur going back at least a hundred years."
Everyone else: "We changed the meaning of it five minutes ago, so it's not ableist." #DisabilityActivism #Slurs #Ableism #AbleistLanguage
My weekend project is complete. I now want to nap for two days… #backpain #jointpain #chronicpain
Fun fact: the price is on the can because retails kept exorbitantly marking up the price of the can. So to prevent that, Arizona Iced Tea put the price directly on the product. If you seen a 99 cent can being sold for more than 99 cents, the AIT CEO has asked us to report the store.
On the docket today - build my baby’s Christmas present. Yes, of course I spent more on his present than on any other gift. #catsofbluesky #cats #christmas
Nothing in my life is scarier than when I move wrong and sublux a vertebrae in my neck. #EDS #ehlersdanlos #chronicpain #chroniclife
“Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed.” - G.K. Chesterton
Being muggle sick when you’re already chronically ill is one of the most inherently unfair things in life #chroniclife #chronicpain #disability #mugglesick #commoncold
Life is so hard when you have a cat to cuddle.
