What a powerful video!
Words matter.
The R word blinds people from seeing capabilities.
Its use degrades and dehumanizes people with disabilities. When it's hurtful and wounds millions of people, their families and friends.

Immaturity? Young stupidity? And not that that isn't bad enough. Sure, it's awful stuff, rubbing off on the immature; and pretty much what "grooming" really amounts to.
So sinister sounding when the Right deploys it against the rest of us. Good for them to have it bite back.

In spite of all the world's ills, nature continues its show. I am fortunate that for a few hours a week I get to escape the news and witness what is really important.
