Once you have called disabled people a burden, you have facilitated the devaluation, dehumanization and death of disabled people.

When you're autistic or neurodivergent,
friendships can feel like walking on eggshells.
But true friends don’t flinch at your honesty,
your silence, or your struggles. Those who
mind don’t matter. Those who matter don’t
mind. Keep the ones who let you be you.

Well done!

A tweet by Gramps says “RELEASE THE FILES!” with a photo showing a projection on a wall of several people edited into a parody movie poster titled “Guardians of Pedophiles,” referencing “Guardians of the Galaxy.” A car is passing by the projection on the street.

Being autistic and sending a text message and not knowing when you'll get a response just hits differently when you're autistic.

Why ?

It just does.

As a disabled person I am not “insulted” by the tiny number of folk circumventing the system…

I’m insulted by disability benefits being less than a liveable amount.
By the process being inaccessible and harming vulnerable people.

By ableists making ableist assumptions.

This idiot keeps bragging about the 20 hostages being released in another country while he's kidnapping thousands of people a day here in America.

Fuck him and the fascism he rode in on.

Murder makes for a better headline

bowtoy.bsky.social @bowtoy.bsky.social · 19h

It seems like even the press could figure out that this is murder and that's how it should be being reported

You can easily say that descendants of Italian, Irish and Jewish immigrants to America today face radically less levels of systemic discrimination than their ancestors did in the 1800’s without being like “and actually that discrimination never even existed”. Erasing that history is genuinely insane

It’s wild how much whiteness wants credit for putting out fires it started.

Black people are told to be thankful to white people for “saving” us from slavery they created.

US presidents boast about ceasefire deals for conflicts they funded with tax money.

Whiteness isn’t water. It’s Kerosene.

Liberals clutching their pearls on this site when told that not masking to protect others in essential public spaces is ableist. Instead of getting angry, they should reflect on how they can do better

I get told constantly I don't look disabled and that I can't use my wheelchair

“You don’t look sick”.

Chronic illness is often invisible

Many disabilities are invisible

People can look “fine” on the outside and have devastating disease processes inside their body

They can be living in constant pain, fatigue & exhaustion

Don’t judge a book by its cover

I see that this small-minded puritanical pixie is laser-focused on getting the government reopened and the troops paid.

I sense a pardon on its way.

A tweet by Jacob Shamsian reads: “The Wall Street Journal reports that Ghislaine Maxwell had a meeting with an unknown person in her new prison camp, during which the entire prison was on lockdown. Inmates say she’s getting unusually favorable treatment by the prison.”

Pardon me if I delay celebrating this vile cretin losing until those poor Sandy Hook families he victimized for cheap publicity see all of the cash. I don't trust him for a second.

Okay, good job today everyone, some notes:

1) “Dunking on Columbus” Day is still a kind of Columbus Day

2) Focusing on indigenous peoples’ victimization is still mostly centering colonizers.

So let’s brush up, hit the books, be ready to focus on some new stuff in the coming year.
