This image is a humorous meme featuring Velma from the animated series Scooby-Doo. Velma is depicted on her hands and knees, searching for her lost glasses—a classic scene often associated with her character. The overlaid text reads, "My subtitles. I can't hear without my subtitles..." This is a playful joke comparing the reliance on subtitles while watching shows to Velma's dependence on her glasses to see, highlighting how many people feel they "can't hear" well without subtitles because they’ve become so used to them.

The image features a bold, white text on a solid black background. The text reads: "Mourning is okay... but fight like heck at the ballot box!"

Fyi:
"It's scientific fact that humans come in two varieties - XX for female and XY for male." EXCEPT: -You can be born appearing female, but have a 5-alpha reductase deficiency and grow a penis at age 12. •You can be born legally male with an X and a Y chromosome, but your body is insensitive to androgens, and you appear female. - You can be born legally mate with an X and a Y chromosome, and have a penis and testes, *and* a uterus and fallopian tubes. - You can be born legally male with an X and a Y chromosome, but your chromosome is missing the SRY gene, which gives you a female body. - You can be born legally female with two X chromosomes, but one of the Xs has an SRY gene, which gives you a male body. -You can be born legally female with two X chromosomes - and also a Y chromosome, which gives you a male body, - You can be born legally female with two X chromosomes, but your adrenal gland doesn't produce enough cortisol, and your body develops as a male. - You can be born with XX chromosomes -*and* XY chromosomes (chimerism). So the next time you attempt to use science as justification for your bigotry, remember that God created humans in many variations, and maybe stop trying to stuff everyone into little "male or female" checkboxes.

It’s time to remove stairs and to remove stares for people with disabilities to have access to a full life!
