Gotta love being told your disability is “secondary” to the comfort of others.
That your accommodations won’t be considered because it’s your “problem to fix”.
Disability is not a “problem”.
It’s not a failing.
It’s not something we can turn on & off.
Ableism is everywhere.

A senior said to me this is never who he thought we were as a country-but that’s neither here nor there, it’s who we are now, and I have to fight it how I can. He’s in his late 80s.
We can all do our part, and our part can be refusing to stay the same because ‘I’m too old to change.’

These tomato pickers earn 86 cents per 25 lb bucket. On an average day a worker fills around 170 buckets --or more than 4000 pounds of tomatoes picked by hand. The fruit is picked green so it ripens red by the time it reaches your store. #WeFeedYou

A farm worker near Ave Maria, Florida, seeks prayers after their work bus is stopped by ICE. As a result, they begin systematically abducting each of them one by one. Tragically, they have not been heard from since.

Dismissing racism in autism spaces erases the reality that Black autistic people face harsher discipline, misdiagnosis & bias daily, autism isn’t experienced in a vacuum I cannot stress that enough! Race shapes how the world sees you 👌🏽

When white autistic people respond with anger say things like ‘we all struggle’ or ‘why make it about race’ when Black autistic people share our struggles, the focus shifts away from the Black autistic person’s reality & back to white feelings

We really need to address how society is normalizing sexual assault on children and the youth to protect the elite.

- He did it years ago
- As long as it's not my child
- The victim asked for it
