Words such as "crazy" and "insane" are actually ableist. However, we use them so much that everyone thinks they're okay to use.
They're not okay to use.
You can replace those words with words such as wild, interesting, confusing, and unpredictable.

Words mean things.
Do you use the phrase "the blind leading the blind"? Did you know it's ableist? Watch this video with Deafblind advocate and speaker @HabenGirma and me salsa dancing for a quick learning moment! #DisabilityTwitter #Ableism #AbleistLanguage #DisabilityAwareness
We’re both #deafblind & I’m following @CatarinaRivera on the dance floor. The blind leading the blind feels fabulous! Associating blindness with ignorance makes it harder for blind people to get jobs, promotions & respect. Avoid using “blind” as a synonym for ignorant. Transcript
ICYMI: #Ableism is a form of oppression that reinforces the belief that people with disabilities are inferior to those without disabilities, and it manifests in various ways, such as physical barriers, lack of #accessibility, negative stereotypes, and #AbleistLanguage.
Hollywood - when you portray a disabled character in your film or series, don’t portray the person as if there is “something wrong” with them… because there’s not.

Given the context of the previous event and the backlash it generated, the fact that this happened so soon after is actually really shocking. #AbleistLanguage #DisabilityRights

Don’t say “handicapped.” Instead, say “disabled” or “person with a disability.”

In the age of online comments, I still appreciate an old-fashioned Letter to the Editor. This appeared online 7/19 & in print edition 7/20 @nytimes @nytopinion Does it apply to you, as it does to me & just about everyone? #ableistlanguage #Mentalhealth #MentalHealthAwareness
When referring to someone who is d/Deaf or hard of hearing, don’t refer to them as deaf-mute or hearing impaired!

Don’t say “that’s so dumb.” Instead say “that’s so confusing” or “that’s so ridiculous.”
