A snowstorm always brings to mind Jack London’s classic short story “To Build a Fire.” Listen to a wonderful version of the story with commentary afterwards.

@Wyd_eshuu Why does murder bother us? Seriously? SERIOUSLY?

@Ashleydoncare Well, you have a moral disability and yet some unfortunate mother chose to birth you.

[Ceili221 🇮🇱🇺🇦 8647 @ceili221]

@JamesTate121 I didn't do that. So fuck you.

@L3galtool It's more a person than you are, apparently--at least he or she hasn't lost their soul yet.

[Ceili221 🇮🇱🇺🇦 8647 @ceili221]

@DreamLeaf5 Wow, in just two months he's addressed the root causes of crime in NYC. That's ... unbelievable ... literally not believable except by rubes like you.

@NoNonsenseND Textbook eugenics, except it's more personal than societal.

@iamhockey1 Minnesota probably has the edge--if they keep Quinn Hughes--Larkin desperately wanted Yzerman to get him.

@dhe3g I didn't realize NYC mayors were in charge of national defence. Moron.

@mysteriouskat @jja6767 As a compromise--to save more lives. It's like being an abolitionist and wanting at least to have slavery illegal in some states. Yes, slavery is bad everywhere--but it's better to have some free instead of none.

@theophilus_cmpr I don't think showing people with disabilities = romanticizing. It's showing that those of us with disabilities can be happy and have dignity. Calling them "downies" and saying they are happy because the have low IQs is grotesque.

Presented without comment to show what evil lies in the hearts of some vile "humans."

[pagliacci the hated 🌝 @Slatzism]

The romanticization of downies is very weird to me.

“Oh they’re so happy!” Yeah because they have an IQ of 34.

People see little clips of the higher-functioning minority being cute online and then feel entitled to massively underestimate the amount of mental, social, financial, and medical resources it takes to raise them.

This isn’t helped by the fact that the parents of profoundly disabled kids often try and offset the (very valid) guilt, disappointment, and burnout they feel by frantically pretending like their lives are great because farming praise for being “good people” and righteously dunking on parents who don’t want that for themselves are the only coping mechanisms they have.

A profoundly disabled child is not a houseplant or kitten, and it isn’t a responsibility that ever ends. The vast majority of downies are not capable of obtaining even a mild degree of independence.

You will be taking care of them until the day you die (and spend the last moments of your life worrying about who will take care of them when you’re gone).

Imagine being 80 years old and still having to heat up nuggets for your 45 year old child, remind them to wash, tell them when to go to bed, etc…

Imagine not being able to do literally anything without having to consider whether or not your downie labubu can join.

Imagine never having grandchildren, or never being able to see your child go to college or get married. Fundamental experiences many look forward to, gone.

It’s not like the cute little clips in the vast majority of cases.

And this is all especially true if you have a male downie because once they hit puberty and adulthood, you now have all of the urges of a horny man trapped in the mind and body of someone with a no impulse control and superhuman retard strength.

It’s all fun and games until your 300 pound adult son who has the intellectual capacity of a turnip whips his junk out in a Walmart and starts rubbing it on the My Little Pony display (I witnessed this once, absolutely horrifying scenes).

All I’m saying is… If you want to be a downie parent - awesome. I wish you the best. I am sure there are plenty of profoundly disabled kids waiting to be adopted and you can put your money where your mouth is anytime.

But I do not blame anyone who does not want that life for themselves and, crucially, recognizes they would not be good parents in that situation.

At the very least, I respect the fact that they’re being honest, which seems to be something most people can’t do when it comes to the disabled.

@TFG_2025 Yep, just like your husband you doubtless got acquitted for molesting your children. But they probably "asked for it" too, right?

[Ceili221 🇮🇱🇺🇦 8647 @ceili221]

@Slatzism Oh goody--an antisemitic vile piece of dogshit too. Well, it tracks: the Nazis loved eugenics too. You are human smegma.

[Ceili221 🇮🇱🇺🇦 8647 @ceili221]

@TFG_2025 So rape is no biggie? Jesus Christ you are soulless ghoul of "human."

[Ceili221 🇮🇱🇺🇦 8647 @ceili221]

@AzPetrich Huh--I don't remember the dude in there with me.

[Ceili221 🇮🇱🇺🇦 8647 @ceili221]

@TowardsSun22 You are a fucking ghoul.

[Ceili221 🇮🇱🇺🇦 8647 @ceili221]

@DaveSnuggy @AGEOFTK Nah, you're just a loser with a limp dick who hates women because you're insecure and stupid. And can't handle people who are successful and intelligent. Sad and pathetic.

[Ceili221 🇮🇱🇺🇦 8647 @ceili221]

@emilykmay Scared? Of course. When you have a child, the universe takes a hostage. But if you'd rather kill it than raise it--then you might not be parent material.

[Ceili221 🇮🇱🇺🇦 8647 @ceili221]

@_aureliamoon Except that, you know, it is.
