People like this pushing the idea that lazy non-disableds wanting accomodations were a rampant problem are why I resisted using a cane or wheelchair in public, putting me at risk of splitting my skull open when I'd inevitably fall.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

NEW: The official USCIS guidance on this pause is out. Until further notice from the USCIS Director, all immigration benefits (including citizenship) are indefinitely suspended for nationals of 19 countries, as are all affirmative asylum applications from nationals of any country.

Every moment when I wonder “what will it take?” I have to remind myself “the limit does not exist.”
here's Trump's full racist rant about MN's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions. And they contribute nothing... Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work... They come from hell & do nothing but bitch. We don't want them"

Sony Motion Pictures? The same company dumb enough to put Morbius back in theaters based on a bunch of morbin time memes? We talking about that Sony? The one that made madame web? the one that shit the bed with the Garfield Spiderman? the studio constantly on the verge of going under? that Sony?
I still can't believe Sony sold K-Pop Demon Hunters to Netflix thinking it would be a flop, but are betting that basketball movie with a goat is going to be a huge hit in cinemas.

Some key takeaways from today’s hearing:
-Many acknowledged that Senate KOSA is a threat to free expression.
-Bills discussed have similar issues to KOSA, esp online ID checks.
-The bad idea that surveillance + censorship will keep kids safe online drove the discussion.

boys being boys (being violent to girls & queer people & each other) is just normal and fine of course. that's the whole damn ruling class of [insert country here]. god forbid a "boy" exists who likes hanging out with girls and she herself is a girl who considers other girls her equals
i love this point bc it really is so absurd that so much of transmisogyny is predicated on protecting girls from the violence of boys so one would think that actively encouraging boys to view girls as their peers and confidants would be good. and yet
very funny to me that both liberal and radical feminist legal policy are complete and utter failures of projects because in response to a situation where "boys" want to play with girls and associate with girls the response by the state is to ban this to ensure it's either become a patriarch or die

Boy do I have super bad news about the entire history of the United States military
The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military.
They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

I have yet to hear anyone entertain the idea that adult and teens have anything to say to one another beyond adults trying to molest the kids. they assume the adults are predators by default.

I'd like to hear a lot less podcast chats with CEOs & celebrities, & a lot more with nurses, social workers, carehome staff, teachers & counsellors. The skills most of us need to work on are communication, empathy, compassion, dealing with difficult emotions, listening & keeping a sense of humour.

Yes to all this. It’s hard to engage young people with ideas and possibilities for future careers if they can’t see a way to have a career and they’re not sure there is a future.
The only solution: we resist the path that governments and the super rich have chosen for us.
In any way possible.

The combination of fascism covid more fascism genocide capitulation to fascism and the clear goal of AI tech bros to eradicate the workforce and make all jobs and future goals irrelevant as we all slide into poverty while eleven rich people become gods is really doing a number on us.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Thread, Greek cheese: 🧵

So what better way to start the week other than talking about cheese? For every day of the week I'll present one from every region of Greece, starting with Epirus in North-West and going counter-clockwise to Ionian, south to Peloponnese, even further south to Crete...
