Camel Case is crucial for multi-word hashtags as it allows screen readers, assistive tech, and humans to easily distinguish individual words

so you're a fan of Star Trek, which has consistently used sci-fi to deliver poignant social commentary tackling issues like racism, war, inequality and human rights, yet you "don't care" about doing something incredibly simple to include disabled people?
you need to revisit the definition of "all" 🙄

whilst the motive for these horrific killings hasn't yet been explicitly stated by authorities, they've strongly implied that the note said caring for two disabled kids was "too much"

Yeah killing your disabled kids cos it's too hard is violence from you and the state that's not providing supports
"Police said it didn’t appear to be “violent” incident, saying no weapon was used.Police added that both children had “significant health challenges” had engaged with care services."

One detail getting lost in the coverage of Don Lemon's arrest?
The church at the center of the case has ties to the Christian nationalist movement, including the “TheoBros," a loose network of mostly millennial, extremely online Christian nationalist pastors, podcasters, and shitposters.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

there's this new dynamic where the DOJ cannot win in court and is (relatedly) incapable of meeting the minimum threshold of professional legal conduct, and so an increasing percentage of its actions are purely for intimidation and content

He knew he would die without his father.
His father was the person who made him feel safe.
