The thing is, the disabled are a population of enraged people. The disabled are carrying a deep rage because not only is ableism embedded in nearly everything in our world, but people without our vulnerabilities are hostile to making anything better for us. Also society does not accept our rage.

i think akhil amar reed captures something very important, which is that the roberts court rewrote article ii, which explicitly states that a president can be held criminally liable after impeachment (and which has long been understood to mean that he can be held liable after leaving office)

Also: as a literally “lame” person who grew up in the 90s, I LOVE this term (not least because can confirm: being lame does, in fact, suck), but that’s a polarizing position according to The Discourse.

I’m physically disabled and neurodiverse, still have to be really mindful re: ableist language around blindness, deafness, etc. Scientifically, it takes a long time to unlearn entrenched language habits, but with effort, most succeed. It’s the ones who throw their hands up w/o even trying who suck.

The liberal justices are in denial bc they don’t want to admit their life’s work has been largely meaningless. The rest are just trying to secure enough power that their bloodline will continue if an unhinged troll with nukes doesn’t end humanity during the water wars.

Re: the SCOTUS justice mindset, when you’ve lived and breathed one thing for your entire life and that thing requires faith in a lifetime appointment system and that system is in a nation showing itself to be one of the worst in the world, you can live in denial, become a mercenary, or fight.

idk it just seems to me that laws, like tech, should be created with the question "what would the worst person i know be able to do with this power" in mind and it's truly incredible how much this opinion fails at that basic task

Apparently the government of the Yucatán recently erected a Poseidon statue on one of their major beaches. It’s a very heavily Mayan area, where people still pray to Chaac, the god of rainfall. They’re now being slammed with 3 hurricanes and significant flooding, leading to memes like this

For Disability Pride Month, one thing I'd love abled bodied people to figure out is how to speak to someone with chronic health issues without implying that if they themselves had the disabled person's health conditions, they would end it all. I promise you life goes on- even with health issues.

That's why the Democratic party needs to cease existing. The only thing they're good at doing is sabotaging better candidates than themselves with stupidly wasteful amounts of money.

I did the math: There’s an estimated 2,781 billionaires on the planet. If they are an average of six feet tall (generous) the stack of them would span 16,686 feet of the Mariana Trench’s 35,814 feet. Leaving 19,128 feet, or room for about 3,188 millionaires.

Someone gave me those infections by not masking.

I am not interested in empty nihilism that excuses people from action. "It's all fucked and always has been, there's nothing we can do," is lazy chicken shit. That is different from, "We're fucked if a few million more of you don't get in the fucking game, now and like your life depends on it."
