Almost everyone becomes disabled.

Disability justice impacts all of us.

Fight with us for better social supports. Better safety nets. Universal healthcare. Paid time off.

Don’t leave us behind.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

Blaming the disabled for losing their health early in life won’t stop bad things from happening to you.

It’ll just help prop up a system that sees people as worthless the second they become “non productive”.

It’ll just assist the elites in developing eugenicist policies.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

It’s a disgusting double standard that exists to help the non disabled avoid facing the uncomfortable reality that one day they will lose their health.

It doesn’t matter how fit you are, how hard you work or that you do everything “right”.

You can become disabled at any time

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

Our suffering is minimized.

The ableds suffering is always worse. Always more severe. Always “worthy” of pity. Always random and never their fault.

Our suffering is something to be adapted to. Something we could fix if we “tried harder”. Something we brought on ourselves.

I’ve got a friend who was non functional after a few hours with a GI bug.

I gently pointed out their symptoms matched the ones I deal with every single day.

Their response?

“You’re used to it. It’s not the same”.

That’s how disabled people are treated in a nutshell.

Animal life on Earth has been reduced by 70% in the last 50 years, and the fact that this is not talked about enough is sickening.

The minimum wage is supposed to be the lowest amount you can live on while still affording housing. So for everyone saying “it’s not meant to be a living wage,” yes, it is. That’s literally why it’s called the MINIMUM WAGE.

Apparently the one thing that can get me to stay hydrated is the thought that I'm starving data centers of cooling resources and helping delay the birth of an AI super-intelligence.

Some guy broke into my house and set up residence in the study room. He says his grandparents used to live in this house and now he won't leave.

My family and I tried to kick him out but he got very violent. He brings in his friends and they help beat us up if we ever try to make him leave.

They keep saying I hate the guy because of his religion. I don't even care about his religion, I just don't like sharing my house with some random outsider who broke in here out of nowhere and took my stuff.

"The poor guy just wants one room to call his own," his friends say in his defense. "You and your family have all the surrounding rooms in the house, and yet you have a problem with the guy having sovereignty over ONE room? That's kind of bigoted and evil."

He keeps throwing stuff at me and my family if we get too close to his door, saying we make him feel afraid. His friends say it's understandable because his room is surrounded by enemies who hate him just for existing, but we don't hate him for existing, we hate him because he forcibly inserted himself into our home and keeps throwing stuff at us.

And what's weird is whenever I explain my situation to normal people they completely understand where I'm coming from and agree the guy is being a dick, but if I talk to the police or the local paper they always side with the guy. Almost everyone in town hates this guy now because of how he's been acting, but everyone in power does everything they can to protect him. It's like there's a total disconnect between the authorities and the will of the public on this particular issue.

It's having a nastier and nastier effect on the community at large all across town. The police have been showing up to arrest anyone who says they think the guy's being an asshole. The paper keeps printing these obnoxious lies telling everyone that me and my family are the real criminals and the guy is actually sweet and awesome. It's really unfair.

Things have been so tense and hostile ever since this guy showed up. I honestly think it would be better if he'd never moved in here at all, but whenever I say that his friends claim I'm saying the guy should be exterminated and try to get me in trouble.

It's a real mess, man.

That guy sucks.

sorry I just don't think an economic system that will boil the planet for profit is the smartest way to structure society :/

[kamryn /: @kittyslitters]

the police department in my hometown refused to give one of their K-9 unit dogs heartworm prevention so then it got heartworms they also refused to treat and it died and they made a statue for it and everything despite the fact they let the dog die/basically killed it

"Rape is one of the most terrible crimes on earth and it happens every few minutes. The problem with groups who deal with rape is that they try to educate women about how to defend themselves. What really needs to be done is teaching men not to rape.
Go to the source and start there."

Remember, Mark Zuckerberg renamed his company “Meta” because he was going all-in on the “metaverse.” How’d that go?

In truth, he’s a psychopath who gets excited about new toys and doesn’t have the cognitive empathy to understand the consequences of his actions on humans.

[The Road Jess Travelled @JessPected]

Imagine if women counted men failing to give them orgasms as "withholding sex." Imagine if they considered a lack of orgasms justification to cheat. Men are failing to realize just how considerate women actually are, while demanding more.

What a misogynistic headline. Jfc Stop shaming the victims. HOLD RAPISTS ACCOUNTABLE.

The Haya people of Tanzania were producing carbon steel in the year 100 AD, nearly 1,900 years before the process was independently developed in Europe. Their furnaces reached 1,800 degrees Celsius using preheated forced-draft technology that European metallurgists did not achieve until the Industrial Revolution. When anthropologists arrived to study it in the 1970s, the knowledge only survived because a few elderly men still remembered it. Cheap European steel had already put the Haya out of business decades earlier.

Africa did not need to be taught how to build. It needed to be left alone.

Holy shit. Starbucks South Korea turned to LLMs to help with marketing. The "AI tool" created an ad campain making light of past human rights abuses including torture, mass murder (over 165 deaths) and rape. They actually ran the campaign. Backlash has been swift and fierce.
