I thought I would throw this out there. If anyone wants to ever ask me anything about my experience having a disability, my experinces as someone coming from a mixed cultural and immigrant background, or anything about how that affected things like my education or perspectives; please feel free too

One of the worst types of behavior this attitude displays is treating Joy as a privilege. "How can you be so happy WHEN ALL THIS SUFFERING IS GOING ON AROUND US!?" Like only the bourgeoisie celebrate, and so partaking in it makes you a "class traitor" 🙄. Man, fuck that! Lighten up sometimes, jeez.

Or do you just *need* to in order to not be misunderstood?

Mystery solved! Probably! A weird oxygen gas cloud discovered in 2023 that's near the Andromeda Galaxy in the sky is actually a nebula inside our own Milky Way. This is super cool stuff.

Mystery solved? Baffling huge nebula near Andromeda Galaxy is actually in our neighborhood
Weird arcing cloud of oxygen is most likely part of the Milky Way, not our giant neighbor

One of the things I loved and particpated in as a child and later was machinima content especially ones like spiffworld which used JoCo songs. I think this probabily showed the extent to which I feel about collaborative and creative commons art

One thing anthropology needs to be better at is giving consideration to that groups themselves may have unique views within each groups distinct from an assumed position for a group. Over prioritization of one frame can create a moral absolutism in some settings that removes members voices

Yet more academics with obscene societal advantages conjuring "research studies" to crush poor amd disabled folks' access to life-changing AI tech.
And it's because they're so painfully mediocre and terrified that we, armed with AI, will finally overcome their privileged positions in the workforce.

One thing I have seen across communities is there is an increased discussion by different disabled people that they feel locked out simply for talking about their accomdations to people they would expect would be allies. This is something I don't refrence for hyperpole, but because it is concerning

Using disability aids as jokes to make bad politicians look weak or ridiculous is ableist.
Having to use a disability aid says nothing negative about strength of character, morals etc. Disability aids aren't bad, so no need to align them with dodgy politicians.

Let people be their true selves, as they know and understand them. Let children explore their identities. Celebrate difference and variety and the incredible spectrum of humanity. The only alternative denies an opportunity to celebrate the joy of human flourishing and is ultimately unspeakably cruel

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

Despite my often references to technology and accessibility, I don't think it should ever be the end all be all when it comes to accessibility. Needs within accessibility are often unique and for some this will even explicitly be utilizing tools I find disenfranchising for my own disability

Trans+ people deserve to live, learn and work without being singled out or treated unfairly. As parents of trans+ people, we've seen how discrimination creates barriers in school, healthcare, housing and in everyday public life. It pushes people out of opportunities that others take for granted.

1. Historically, eugenics was not a pseudoscience. It was *science* Almost every scientist, social scientist, academic, etc. believed in the validity of eugenics. You would have to search far & wide to find a scientist that didn't believe in some form of it. They taught it in college!
