I'm mostly speciosity on every other site you can think of
If there's one company that goes under this year, I hope it's ticketmaster and their greedy ass practices that bar poor people from ever enjoying events.
Legit just saw a woman in a hospital making a tiktok where she found out she was okay and started saying "oh thank God, I just got married and I didn't want my husband-"
And the male dr interrupted with "To get an annulment?" She was gonna say "to be a widower"
Christ.
People always get upset when I tell them to ask this question when they first start dating someone because I suspect they know theyβll be very lonely if they do.
If you think this isn't accurate, think back to every tweet criticizing folks for being scared of things reopening and mask mandates being lifted - immunocompromised/disabled folks are going to suffer the most from premature reopening and so many will die. πΆ That's eugenics πΆ
I once almost chopped my toe off because of my nerve damage that makes me drop things with no warning. Got a gnarly deep stab wound instead.
I also dislocate my fingers using knives.
People need to understand that these products were made for disabled people.
God, I absolutely hate Amanda Palmer. And so many "nerdy" creatives just gloss over her ableism and racism because she sang songs for misfits and they identify with that. You can be a misfit and not be disgustingly racist and ableist, you know.
If you follow a person who parked in a handicapped spot or used the handicapped bathroom stall to harass them because they don't "look disabled enough,"

I really cannot get over the fact that we're in the middle of several unprecedented crises where people have lost their income and their lives...and the majority of news publications are hiding behind a paywall while far right propaganda "news" sites are free.
@redditships
My uncle started as a truther and is now a full blown conspiracy theorist who thinks aliens poisoned our water and vitamin c is the only antidote and has warned me about the apocalypse several times in the past decade or so
Cut and run *before* you reach that stage

My dad builds pools - the color of the pool's sides and bottom greatly impact the color of the water. Bright blue pools are because of a white or blue surface, this is from orange-brown. But it's such an unappealing color...π¬
@mustangsart
Love able bodied folks speaking like they know anything about what disabled folks actually like and dislike, that our default reaction is hating our bodies instead of embracing what makes us us
@bittergertrude
@Imani_Barbarin
That's from having too many pool chemicals and is actually a level one "keep people out of the pool" sign - they probably dumped in gallons of chemicals to keep the water clean and created a different unsafe environment.
- Marketing and selling these products to the abled population keeps the price down for disabled people.
- They're great for including kids in activities that would normally be dangerous!
- Tools like this also make prep work much faster which is awesome?
Besides the fact this WAS a Thanos movie, no one wants to watch a guy wage genocide on several planets because he thinks he's right. We already have hundreds of years of Western history for that.
.......y'all realize that posting your selfie and that horribly fatphobic "kpoomer fan" pic is just further punching down on fat people???? Trying to prove you're not fat and therefore hot? Jesus.
Pelosi also questioned the policy wisdom of cancelling student loan debt:
βSupposeβ¦your child just decided they, at this time, [do] not want to go to college but youβre paying taxes to forgive somebody elseβs obligations. You may not be happy about that."
@mattbc
I was
#MedicallyAnnoying
as a kid, having extreme gastro issues and pain. I missed more than half of my 10th and 11th grade years and was considered a faker - until they found out that my gall bladder had been dying for two years. My EDS dx didn't come until age 23/24 π
@matthewmercer
I legit teared up when I realized you included it. Thank you so much for being amazing and giving a metaphorical middle finger to all the ableist gatekeepers β€
This era of kpop fan is weak. In my day, we went in an idol's mentions when they were asking for would you rathers and say "either eat your poop or drink your pee" and they'd ANSWER
The last bit of the new
@thedollop
episode on climate change was so good, but it made me cry thinking about my nephew and what sort of Mad Max world he'll live in
@chunstra
I wish our anti-monopoly laws were actually enforced because they are actively harming consumers, venues, artists and other companies and no one will stop them!!!
Seeing this be repeated is rly sad bc kids don't know that life isn't gonna magically be better and more entertaining when they turn 20. A bunch of adults have stanning as their only affordable hobby/outlet because we live in hell.
@Nicole_Cliffe
I had a searing pain in my side for months, nausea and dizziness in uni and they told my mother I had "spring fever" and that I should be forced to go back to school.
12+ dr's later they found out I had gastroparesis and I had developed hernia and vertigo from vomiting
@Nicole_Cliffe
I still live at home bc of my health and this is exactly why I get so frustrated with my siblings - my mom loves them so much and they don't call or share their lives with her and she feels it on such a deep level. It's so upsetting once you see it and realize what is happening!
So my surgery took 2x longer bc my disc had hardened and fused to the nerve, I was incredibly close to permanent damage. I also woke up vomiting so that was fun.
I feel better today tho, I can walk (slowly) and feel my toe!!!
...we're literally not allowed into any country right now unless we're rich bc of covid. Disabled people are barred from immigrating in tons of countries. It's expensive to move 99% of the time. This is such a privileged "solution" Jeeeesus
I'm so glad lj and tlist brought us all in contact. We all have such different lives and exposed each other to perspectives outside our personal bubbles. I would never have grown without y'all β€
