If you’re not sexist or racist, nerds need to stop getting mad when a woman of color is the main character of your favorite franchise.

2025 has been a hard year for me. I didn’t think I would go in the hospital this year, and then I did for an unknown infection. Ever since leaving the hospital in August, I have been scared about when I’d be going back. disabled people live in fear and this in between space a lot.

It’s kind of funny, isn’t it? That for disabled people living on benefit systems, none of it actually feels beneficial, right?

If you've written a book or many or are writing one now, what a cool fucking thing you are doing. I hope you bask in how awesome it is that you had ideas and thoughts and worked on them for years to develop them into words others can understand. Like that's some sorcery shit. Fuck AI, THIS is magic.

Adults with Cerebral Palsy have an increased risk of anxiety and depression. We need to talk about how ableism, inaccessibility and lateral ableism play into all of that too.

Decriminalizing sex work would ALSO help against many of the criminal abuses I'm glad to see so many caring about of late.

These are folks who talk over any disabled person they encounter to demonstrate their knowledge of lived disabled experiences. They speak for their children and diminish that child’s existence by inflating their own egos. They brag about their advocacy for the community while they do so so much harm

Some abled parents of disabled people are the most violent ableists. They use their children as tools to demonstrate their heroism in shouldering the burden of taking care of a disabled person, think they’re incapable of ableism, and say the experience of a caretaker is the same as being disabled.

Today I learned that disabled folks get a special bathroom key in the UK that universally opens special toilets. And I love this concept.

Uh, hello, new followers! A bunch of you appeared this afternoon, I'm guessing from the neurodivergence/disability starter pack?
I post about tech, life, mental health, ADHD, autism, chronic illness, disability, video games, whatever.
I'm also unapologetically queer and trans.

The neat thing about being innocent of a horrific crime—especially while you have complete control over the government—is you have zero hesitation to release the overwhelming files of evidence proving you’re 100% innocent.
Guilty people, however, do the exact opposite.
