I get that sanism is your emotional support bigotry that helps you sleep at night, because you get to Sit there going "I cant do and believe terrible things, I'm not "insane" like those bigots and fascists. I have the essentially good brain, unlike these evil bad brain people." 7/🧵

For disabled folks, if accessing the library is difficult, some libraries have great services to help, like book delivery. Very worth looking into if this applies to you.

I hear you. And Hungary has its own brand of exclusion and prejudice - kár, hogy nem beszelhetjuk inkabb kávézóban, szerintem az sokkal jobb lenne 😊 - but most of Europe and the rest of the world knows very little about Roma. For you to know as much as you do about their languages is very unusual.

In giving that explanation you have literally demonstrated why many of us will never go to Mastodon. Most tuned out by the time you reached "protocol." It's the antithesis of user-friendly IMHO. And what many of us want is the diversity & multitude of voices we had on 🐦, but w/ safety Musk refuses.

Even LiveJournal allowed us to post to specific audiences. If I wanted to write a blog, I'd write a blog. Your user base will inevitably use your site in diverse ways. Especially with the "Enshittification" of 🐦 you've got an influx of new people here, many of us quite vulnerable in different ways.

That sounds like exhausting work. My production was much lower scale. I used a Kitchenaid mixer & could put stuff in the dishwasher after. And no hair. I had a cow share and picked up fresh bottled milk, cream, etc from the farmer's refrigerated truck once a week. SO nostalgic for that level of fxn.

I'm intrigued. What's the purpose?

Interesting. That figure is much, much higher than I've seen elsewhere, with a range of ~40-50%. I expect it has to do mostly with definitions & sampling methods - ie methodology. I'm way too sick to read & analyze this stuff rn.
