Elon Musk is an ADA violation

Pointing out bad ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) takes. Or good ones. Or really anything that amuses me. DMs or mentions welcome. QT means good take.

@BadHippa @pretty_basicly @iamharaldur @elonmusk For clarity: IANAL and I don't know if it's an actual violation given Halli is Icelandic; but holy crap is it a bad look for EM.

Plus I have a "can't type for long stretches but still use twitter" disability, so EM ridiculing that is just... well, ridiculous.

@BadHippa @pretty_basicly @iamharaldur @elonmusk Not just that, but disclosing disability info ... not a hippo, obviously, but it's an ADA double strike.

(I drifted away when the muskrat took over but this brought me back... didn't expect my changed display name to become literal!)

There is a WaPo story about a guy and his "emotional support alligator". https://t.co/oNwX0JAGoT

ESAs do not have ADA-protected public access, and the "registration" is a useless waste of money. @washingtonpost should do better than propogate this nonsense.

All of this 🧵

Please stop telling disabled people about the ADA in response to tweets about discrimination. We know what the ADA is and what it does. We also know the barriers to filing a complaint. (This means we know at least one more thing about the ADA than you do.)

[Elon Musk is an ADA violation @AdaTakes]

@Robot__Roberto Yup. "Coercion" like the ADA wouldn't be necessary if everyone behaved properly to begin with.

[Elon Musk is an ADA violation @AdaTakes]

This whole thing is absurd, but especially the "if they don't like it they can move", because it's so easy to just relocate, especially if you're disabled.

If libertarians hate being in a society so much, why don't *they* move? The world will never know...

@mdunndata @BadNuremburg @HawkInATX So your solution is to put all The Disableds in one area -- a camp, perhaps, where they can be concentrated? Even though accessibility features are helpful to non-disabled folk too? (https://t.co/xaKlrTkamd)

[Elon Musk is an ADA violation @AdaTakes]

@BadNuremburg @mdunndata @HawkInATX Oh good grief.

It reminds me of a joke I heard once, from a guy in a wheelchair, where a business owner didn't want to put in a ramp -- "why should I, when people in wheelchairs don't even come here?"

Happy weekend! Please enjoy these service dogs in training who aren't yet used to their first vests.

...uh... *dubious squint*

[Elon Musk is an ADA violation @AdaTakes]

@BadHippa I'm semi surprised ADA isn't in there. Antivax and antimask ppl have claimed it, why not antipronouners?

Also very amused that Rod has apparently violated all these things -- he used pronouns for his wife, after all.

[Elon Musk is an ADA violation @AdaTakes]

This is good (and yes it's absolutely an ADA thing)

[alissacaliente @alissacaliente]

this story is probably going to get some traction as evidence of ~america gone soft~ or some bullshit but it’s 100% a disability rights story. he was fired because his supervisor decided two panic attacks meant this employee posed a violent threat https://t.co/wqGXUBJYNK

@BadMedicalTakes Oh hey, it's the "being mean on Twitter violates the ADA" person ...

[Elon Musk is an ADA violation @AdaTakes]

Here's a new one: being "mean" on Twitter violates the ADA.

Context: A Black woman with endometriosis mentioned how it's underdiagnosed in Black and Brown communities. TGS all-lives-mattered this (1st image). When called out, TGS doubled down...

Can I bite through a titanium wheelchair? Yes.

Will I bite through your titanium wheelchair? As an ADA compliant theropod, I'm sure I can find a small child to chew on instead.

All timelines need a cute floofy helpful pupper.

(OBVIOUSLY this is not a bad take; medical alert dogs are awesome; that nose needs booping!)
