I can’t emphasize enough how much accessibility benefits everyone. Ramps, elevators, ventilated air, automatic doors. You caring about accessibility is literally caring about your future. You will become disabled unless you die young. Investing in the disability community is investing in yourself. - ThreadSky

This is so true. It's also why I push back when people joke about Trump and diapers.

If you live long enough, you'll need them too. Aging sucks ... except for the alternative.

Definitely!! Ableism is a way to put down and make fun of disabled people because it’s unfortunately normalized.

Likewise feminized slurs and body shape slurs and trans slurs and ...

... they're telling on themselves.

Universal design helps everyone. Right now. Whether it's a cracked phone screen, an injury, arms full of groceries, a baby stroller, or a thousand other ways our needs can change in the current moment.

Thank you for adding ventilated air, Hepa filters are life saving, especially for immunocompromised people.

You’re very welcome! Yes, they truly benefit everyone.

Hey I don't know if this is something you may be interested in, but I have a cooling system that doesn't depend on grid electricity. Basically, you bury hose a few feet down (call digging line first) and then run water through it with a water pump of some sort. In case of wet bulb conditions.

That's pretty cool!

There are many ways to do this, and it's basically the same concept as a ground source heat pump it's made on established principles. The main difficulty would be if there is grid failure, you wouldn't be able to call the digging hot line. So preparation is needed.

It makes everyone's lives easier not just disabled people so there's no incentive not to do it and tbh they should do it anyway. These are people's lives. They need care too.

Dear friends, I am talking to you from Gaza, in which we were subjected to a devastating war in which we lost everything we have, we ask you to participate and donate to start our lives again. You are the only hope, please
