They have a smartphone or they have low levels of education or English proficiency. You’re talking about people with disabilities. The whole idea of serving the people is to give people a choice.” - SSW President Nancy Altman

Excellent and reflective thread on anger...
The hardest part about being angry and learning to control pure rage is also learning how to put it to good use but not letting your honest, real anger turn into bitterness (poison to you) or hopelessness (a cloud of despair infecting everyone around you) before venting out the excess.

An application of the “grey rock” method of dealing with narcissistic personalities.
When you’re in a relationship with a malignant narcissist—as we all are now with Trump—it’s important to stay out of emotionally reactive mode and instead to observe and act with detachment.
Emotional reactivity draws you into their defensive structure, and you can take in their toxic projections.

If you become disabled, the system will do everything in its power to try and not help you. Disabled people have been telling you this for decades. We can't just get all of our needs met. Most barely get enough to survive. The system is designed to fail us.

So I’ve had my 1st Black History Month event cancellation because of “DEI concerns,” citing a fear of frivolous suits. Funny thing is, I don’t do DEI, I’m a historian of the Black American experience. A reminder that DEI is just a dog whistle about suppressing history, if you need a reminder.
