if you're that unhappy with your life, why is that? Who decided everything you "buy" is just some form of subscription? Who made sure that most of your salary goes to a landlord? Who made it mandatory to own a cell phone to exist?
Life is hard because a billionaire made it so.

"Poor people have iPhones" "Disabled people own nice looking cars" all essentially is: "I have a job I hate in order to have these things, and yet this person who society has taught me has less value than I do also has this thing.
"If they aren't suffering for it, it isn't fair. They CHEATED."

it is MIRACULOUS that we got rid of lead paint and asbestos when we did. if we had tried that today, there would be people whining about how we're restricting their rights.
Bring back residential-use lead paint, you cowards.

When I was diagnosed with MS 20 years ago, I did a deep dive into the literature to search for a potential cause.
The literature on vaccinations was, and remains, clear.
Vaccines are not associated with risk for MS.
Epstein-Barr Virus is. It sure would be nice to have a vaccine for that.

If they ask for extra time to turn in an assignment, it's not because they're using their time well and working really hard on completing the assignment. "Abusing accommodations" is a mythical bugaboo, a scarecrow in a potato field.

Long Covid is an epidemic and one of its common conditions is MCAS. MCAS causes extreme reactions to food (among other issues). Many can only eat a few things and lose extreme weight. 1/

There’s no such thing as the ideal disabled person and the insistence on only catering to the ideal disabled person creates compounding structures that actively harm the disabled community and these structures get repurposed pretty quickly for isolating and harming other marginalized groups
It reminds me of the classic “real victims” fallacy that mainly functions to deny that victims are really victims in pursuit of respecting “real victims” but it’s just a practice of shaming specific victims that hurts everyone
