New folks‼️
I am pro-abortion, anti-cop, pro-disabled (ALL disabilities), pro-sarcasm, a historian, a disability advocate, and a fat nonbinary person.
I also love dogs and video games and my partner and I am sometimes even fun.
Hello! 👋🏻
@jarretthill@ChrisCillizza Yep. Anything on “it’s the economy stupid” is so tired. We’ve been in an economic crisis for my entire generation. When you vote for a racist, fascist, transphobic, misogynist antisemite, it’s pretty clear who you are, even if you *say* it’s about the economy.
Watching Gen Z men veer right hits different for Millennials. We lived through Columbine, 9/11, the Iraq War, 2008 crash, 2016 election, covid, abortion bans, & now this. We watched institutions repeatedly fail us while older generations selfishly protected the status quo. 🧵1/
So I got flagged for a “random” security screening at .@PHXSkyHarbor by .@TSA and they removed my laptop from my bag and said I could take my bag when they said they were done.
Waited, they told me they were done, took bag. Got to Dallas before I realized they kept the laptop.
Filled out a claim with TSA and apparently I can maybe hope to hear from them within 5 days.
This is unacceptable, I literally don’t know what else to say.
I’m a disabled traveler with a wheelchair and just trying to get through security while getting powder tested, prosthetic pat-down, forced to remove my orthopedic boot in line.
.@SouthwestAir told me to contact them when I landed but everyone was gone for the night in BHM.
@KateYulos @RoeGraceM @ElaineBelz @wholesomeDegen@iseeuliars Yeah, it’s scary stuff. And I think it’s fine to choose not to do that emotional labor but getting on folks who do? Other mentally ill folks?? Like do you believe in autonomy and independence for disabled folks or not? Shitting on other disabled folks ain’t the answer.
@RoeGraceM @ElaineBelz @wholesomeDegen@iseeuliars Like I see what you’re getting at and marginalized people not having to do the labor of educating the privileged but in reality I don’t know how people are going to figure this shit out on their own. There’s willful ignorance but then just plain ignorance that we can help with.
@RoeGraceM @ElaineBelz @wholesomeDegen@iseeuliars Mentally ill here too. I’ve gone back and forth on this over the years but idk how else people are supposed to work on their discomfort without the conversations and confrontations. People don’t know what it means to critically examine their feelings. (1/2)
Everything happening on Twitter now is a lot easier to understand if you‘ve ever had a younger sibling that invented a game and added a new rule every time they started losing.
@Machtyn @RickWhist @AP You’re right, it is like saying that. In the sense that saying humans don’t cause climate change and tax cuts didn’t cause an economic crises are both stupid.
