31. ♉️ Voted for Harris. PDX. Content writer by day. I don’t mix work with social media. All views are my own. Lover of 90s-2000s nostalgia.
I think restricted interests (can include intense interests in certain things, like medical science, a music artist, cars, etc., as well as a notable lack of interest in things other people might find widely enjoyable) can be very misunderstood by people who aren’t autistic.

Also, when reporters start talking about the chatbots this way, it is imperative to remind them they are basically asking a toaster for comment. They should be a lot more embarrassed about this than they currently are.
“Grok told CNN…” no it didn’t. You typed stuff into an unreliable calculator.

It’s also time to start wondering if some of these reporters are a little cooked by the bots themselves. Reporters aren’t inured to chatbot psychosis. In fact, some of them may have drank too much of the kool aid from sources selling them stuff. We’re in a new world of stupid. Adjust your credulity.

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

Ableism makes you think you will be the exception.
Disability won’t happen to you.
You’re “better than that”.
You’re “stronger”.
You will succeed where the rest of us failed.
It’s not true. Disability can & does happen to almost everyone.
It’s not a moral failing.

Disabled people do not owe you their medical history.
They do not owe you their diagnosis.
They do not owe you an explanation.
Benefits are exceedingly hard to get and the process is punishing & dehumanizing.
No one is doing it for fun.

NEW: Trump’s second term has been marked by voter suppression efforts and a refusal to let 2020 election conspiracies die. Driving this anti-voting agenda are election deniers in key posts who are working tirelessly to rig the vote. Matt Cohen highlights the ones to watch👇

The reason I advocated for people to vote for Harris is EXACTLY THIS. I did not trust a portion of democratic politicians to do the right thing in the face of this administration, AND people will suffer and die without healthcare. So we needed someone in office who wouldn’t take it away, at least.
