I have spoken to rooms full of nondisabled people and heard this ripple of tense laughter. I have told my own story of flipping a car on black ice and people straight up told me they would just drive more carefully.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth just said on Colbert, "We should all live long enough to develop a disability," & the audience laughed uncomfortably.
I can tell you what they were thinking. It was "Not me. That would never happen to me."
& the underlying, unacknowlged premise was "b/c I'm better than that."

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.
Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.
Their inaction is deadly.

One of the effects of the demand for a “return to normal” has been a complete abandonment of people with long covid. Because how could they be sick with something that isn’t a big deal?
Are you making this worse for others with this attitude?

Look, you can shake your head. You can call them "idiots". You can shame them. You can blame the news. Or you can talk to people. It is YOUR job to get them to know. Make a little contribution with your friend group.

23andMe declared bankruptcy and the company is gonna be sold off for parts. That includes your DNA information and the only amount of control you have is to delete your info immediately. It’s very simple to do.
