Another resistance quilt finished this week. The eye is my own design, the letters are a fpp pattern by QuiltByNight, the rounded corners and black binding are meant to resemble the phones we the people are using to document the horrors and disprove the government’s lies about what they are doing.

Inside TurboTax’s 20-Year Fight to Stop Americans From Filing Their Taxes for Free
Using lobbying, the revolving door and “dark pattern” customer tricks, Intuit fended off the government’s attempts to make tax filing free and easy, and created its multi-billion-dollar franchise.

If you aren't familiar with what DARVO is, get familiar with it. "Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender." The govt is relying on DARVO as a tactic on a national scale, and it is also increasingly a conservative tactic to attack outspoken critics of their ideas, theories, & renderings of history.

a lot of people seem to fall into one of two categories:
- always expect their needs to be met and to be the center of attention
- gravitate towards situations where other people's needs and wants always take precedence, or where someone else is simply making all the decisions, etc

A problem with having diseases, chronic illness, or chronic pain is that when you take meds to alleviate pain or symptoms or take exceptional care to avoid aggravating things, while thinking it's a short-term solution, it can nullify testing or clinical presentation. 1/ #NEISvoid #Disabled #Spoonie

Chronic illness is describing how you’re feeling and people telling you that you shouldn’t try to function that way…and then responding that if you don’t, you wouldn’t function at all

I’m seeing increased use of this word and I just want to gently suggest that if there’s one word you can manage to remove from your vocabulary it should be this one.
It was coined by a eugenicist who used it as a diagnosis to forcibly institutionalize and sterilize mentally disabled people.

The Origins of the Word "Moron" Are Actually REALLY Sinister
It's much more than just a casual insult.

It hurt my feelings to be called an idiot today. It's supposed to hurt because, like moron, it's an ableist slur. The reason that these two words are ableist slurs is that they are old clinical terms from an era of eugenics for intellectual disabilities. I miss Link on here when I explain this.
How to talk about disability sensitively and avoid ableist tropes
When it comes to disability, a lot of ableist language and tropes are perpetuated by the media. Here's what experts have to say about how to talk about disability.

this bears repeating:
Grok is bad because it's creating NONCONSENSUAL sexual images of real people.
Not because sex is icky and should be scrubbed from the Internet.
The distinction is crucial at a moment when dangerous censorship legislation is bipartisan and widely misunderstood
