@itsmeardenleigh For example, the trashiest reality tv show of today often has multiple storylines and invites commentary and analysis in ways that even the most stellar early television (the book uses Hill St. Blues as an example).

@itsmeardenleigh A good long form debunk to this is “Everything Bad Is Good For You” which argues that as our lives got increasingly more complex, we got increasingly more intelligent (able to handle complexity). While complex=/= good, it’s a direct refute of the above

Being friends with me is fun bc I will show up to game night with a custom Guess Who board compiled of everybody’s cartoon sexual awakening that I spent 2 hours making

Cis people already receive the medical care that trans people want access to. Cis children are prescribed puberty blockers. Cis people take hormones. Cis people get gender-affirming cosmetic surgery. But for some reason it's rending the fabric of society when trans folks want it

I've noticed quite a few disabled people, when faced with discrimination, saying things like "you wouldn't do/say this to a black person or a gay person, so why will you to a disabled person?" I understand the impulse to frame it like this, but it's not helpful.

Friendly reminder: if you’re white, there’s no reason to use a reaction gif of a Black person (aka “digital blackface”) when there’s literally a Schitts Creek gif for everything.

every quarter i give my students an extra credit assignment to make a meme about something we covered in class. this quarter i taught US History from approx 1815-1920(ish), and the kids had some spicy takes (thread of memes)

We would have much better conversations around gifted programs if we acknowledged that they're assimilation programs for primarily white disabled kids who might still be able to fit into capitalist colonialist society.

My therapist just said 'kids are very resilient' and I said 'why do all adults need therapy then?' And she just looked into the middle distance for a bit + seemed to reassess quite a lot of things

If you want to talk about how casual and everyday ableism is in our society, just look at prescription glasses. 🧵

Why do I hear a bird right now. No, not an owl. Someone is making a tweet twee twee sound. Who. Why? It is 2am
