Because, again: Disability is the only minority anyone can join at any time, & which everyone will join, if they're lucky enough to live that long. A disease, a quirk of genetics, a bus, a bad fall from a curb. Anything. And the only thing we have that could consistently make this fact survivableā€¦

UPDATE: 50 minutes in and he FINALLY drove off! He has officially ā€œleftā€. At least until he comes back because he forgot something. Guess which one of my parents always made us late to family functions. Go on, guess.

[Reference: Ben Shapiro once said something was slander, I pointed out why it wasnā€™t, he explained he was using it in the colloquial sense, I asked, oh, ok, so you were using it, like, emotionally?, and I never got a satisfactory response IMHO

I think itā€™s okay to feel a sense of disassociation that you as an individual can have an impact, but the solution isnā€™t to stop doing your tiny part to contribute to the whole, itā€™s to band together with all the other tiny parts to hold the larger problems accountable.

I looked over the actual report and yeah, this is very concerning. There is no safe exposure level to lead. The authors note it's not known how much gets absorbed into the body via tampon use because that research has never been done. It's maddening how research on women's health is lacking.

Keeping Trump out of the White House isnā€™t the only thing that needs doing and it isnā€™t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isnā€™t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I donā€™t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

I kinda feel like now that the Supreme Court has declared it legal for a president to straight-up murder people they don't like, it's probably even more important to not elect people who seem extremely inclined to murder people they don't like

Things are getting scary out there so if you need a moment of levity to reset your brain, I suggest Girls 5eva and Brooklyn 99 because both shows are ridiculous, hilarious, and full of really kind characters who have each otherā€™s backs. We need more of this in the world

I went to a massive big box store to get something the other day (not a lot of choices in the location where I was), and it was so vast and there were so many choices and so much was locked up that it would have taken 45 minutes to pick up something that should have taken ten minutes tops. I left.
