Getting random unsolicited calls from a weight loss company isn't something that could potentially be triggering to the hundreds of thousands of humans with a history of an eating disorder, no, go ahead. Our cultural obsession with thinness has already numbed them to it anyway.

yes it kills me when people dont mask because it feels like they dont care about people like me. but it also kills me because I love them - I want BETTER for yall than the life I have. I don't want to have to welcome you to the world of disability and chronic illness. I want you to fucking thrive

One of my friends with long COVID has COVID again and I feel awful for her. Has she been perfect with avoiding infection? No. But she shouldn't have to be, WE shouldn't have to be. Imagine if as a city, state, country we had prioritised clean air and normalised staying at home when sick. (1/2)

Protests are supposed to cause inconvenience at the least. Glad at least some no kings protests are actually in the streets, but too many pictures/videos of crowds just lining the streets, not in them

I know, I know,
of course, I know,
that there is a difference
between those in your life
abandoning precautions,
and those in your life
abandoning you,
but for the life of me there are days when I’m not so sure that there really is
a difference.

Absolutely fuck "glass child" rhetoric. The issue is that you were NEGLECTED, not that your sibling was sick or disabled. Yeah your parents sucked but that's about them not your sibling.

Yeah sure you can make DnD whatever you want it to be, but when rule sets and character descriptions are horribly racist and misogynistic, why not just play a different ttrpg? Ill take a new system over hacks of a gross one any day

People call disabled folks “burdens,” but I’ve never met anyone more resourceful, patient, and relentless than sick and disabled people practiced at keeping each other alive.
