I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

I'm going to be a bitch about this for once: I wear a mask every time I'm on a plane, at the airport, on trains, the subway, the bus, in stores, at conventions. It really isn't difficult. You can't pretend COVID away. And you won't be able to pretend bird flu away either, which is much more lethal

Do you understand that this thing was trained on stolen data and is using enough energy to light the planet on fire? And that, actually, at that point nothing else matters? Fancy calling yourself a god damn journalist and being like, “maybe the big plagiarism machine is good, actually?"

I am turning into an alt text scold because goddamn it, I need everyone to start realizing on a deep level how many people around them are disabled. You're not doing it for nothing. It's hard to get the stats but just in the US, legal blindness affects 8-10 million people.
