Feeling throughly miserable right now, all because I tried to identify a knowledge gap, educate, & help people. Dismissed & told off for pointing out ableist language. I thought they had a safe space. It seems ableism is far more acceptable with my friends than I thought. So sad. I need chocolate!

“Wheelchair-bound” is offensive & outdated language. It was used in a comment on a friends post & that friend then used it. I explained nicely but was told off that it “wasn’t the place for that discussion”
1: the post was about PIP.
2: It’s not a “discussion”, it’s is a negative term. End of.

I can't stand bullies. President Zelensky is now trying to stand up against two of them. We should have his back. #SlavaUkraïni

Not my wisdom, but worth sharing. It's bad out there right now. Like, exhaustingly bad in multiple ways. But it's important for you, me and everyone else to look after our own mental health. And to do that, you've got to Be A Goose.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
