love 2 read on blue sky dot internet about how we're idiots who deserve to fail if we ever nominate a person with a vaguely visible disability to a position of power

I think a lot about how my mother had the same hip surgery as Pelosi and Klippy thought it caused brain damage because she wasn't up for walking around the House floor immediately after coming back to work
like i'm used to being very deeply aware that i'm too gay and kinky to ever deserve to be in a position of authority over anyone else but it's cool to know that using a forearm crutch is also disqualifying, personally
I really don't think that's going to be the takeaway. The thought process wasn't Biden's age is a problem and therefore he needs to go, it's Biden needs to go and therefore his age is a problem.
really is there any way to discern a difference between that being a compiled-and-cached thought that sticks with us forever along with "well, if you nominate a Black woman you'll get what's coming to you" and just plain old normal ableism/racism/sexism
Asperger Syndrome is no longer used as a formal diagnosis, but it's the form of autism I'm familiar with. We need these people in leadership positions bec: 1. they're often Highly intelligent; 2. they're honest & see thru those who are not; 3. they're trustworthy. (moi? bilateral cochlear implants)
I've been wearing a hearing aid since I was 8. When I ask people to repeat themselves because I couldn't hear them, they immediately start talking to me like have the intellect of a toddler.
Yeah, I’m really surprised they support Greg Abbott. I think it’s only because he’s as big of an asshole as they all are. If not, he would have been thrown into the trash bin, where he belongs, a long time ago.
Some people have. There was a very long and somewhat acrimonious debate whether to add him sitting in a wheelchair to the FDR memorial. It's there but also partially hidden, which is a testament to the complexity for him in life.

Why I’m actually disqualified from public office: glasses
as it's turned out it's just very amusing that I didn't need the perversions to make myself unelectable so I just got to do them for fun
