APPARENTLY you gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger, you gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together i *just* found this out. fuck. FUCK

Many who speak about DEI being removed from employment are forgetting disabled people in that conversation. It’s not surprising since most forget about us as a whole but this is going to make it so disabled people can barely get hired or receive any accommodations. We’re barely surviving as is.

It is *very* important to understand that Jews were never the only target of the 1930s Nazis and they are not the only targets of today’s Nazis. A Nazi salute is not only antisemitic. It is also racist, ableist, and queerphobic.

This is real and painful and if you are actually social justice oriented, you will take steps to mitigate this.

Imagine a kitten got a job as an ambulance attendant and it's his first day at the job and he's got a little hat and a little uniform and he goes up to a guy and tries to give CPR but he's a kitten and gets confused and starts making biscuits instead and starts to cry out a little "mew"

I blame South Park, the internet, “hipster racism”, post-sincerity ironic detachment, and the devotion to class over everything

I really need people to understand that disabled folks: Exist across every other axis of oppression Are underrepresented by DEI efforts almost across the board Are the first to go in almost every situation of oppression Are laughed off by people who consider themselves inclusive

A big misconception about Greenland is that since it’s labeled a Danish colony, its residents are just a bunch of white dudes named Kristian—which is extremely harmful and inaccurate. The population is 85% Indigenous! It belongs to the Kalaallit people, not to Denmark and CERTAINLY not to the U.S.

To my DISABILITY COMMUNITY in the FEDERAL workforce: I know you are scared and frightened of retaliation. The stories of Federal workers being terminated for not having their reasonable accommodations met are DISGUSTING. I PLEAD for you to come forward & share info. Our country needs your voices.🙏💜

Your hero Bernie is about to get me killed. RFK is a eugenicist. Full stop.

It’s interesting seeing people focus on the fact that he’s an addict and not on the fact that he was physically abusive One of those things is a moral offense, and it’s not addiction

Non disabled person: hAvE yOu TrIeD yOGa? Sounds great Debra but today I needed help to dress myself and could not lift a cup. Yoga is so not on the table. It's not even in the restaurant.

gen-AI young val kilmer as young brad pitt as watchmen’s captain metropolis II (mild-mannered log cabin republican staffer by day; 7th kavalry rider by night) isn’t real and can’t hurt you.

Katelyn Burns was right after all, number i-don't-know-i-lost-count

Sexual binary? Nah, it never existed in the first place.

We told you all, everyone one in the disability and chronic illness world told you this was going to happen. They have wanted us dead or at least removed from society for the longest time. And people called us hysterical and over reacting, said we were fear mongering and chicken little. Fuck y’all!

legalize weed... outlaw fireworks...

This is how you know we’ve passed from conservatism to fascism. Making sure women, Black, Hispanic, disabled people are getting hired is a fucking conservative austerity policy to get people off welfare. If people aren’t working, and they aren’t on welfare, then it’s extractive abandonment or death.

As an autistic woman I am sick and tired of seeing autistic men have their bad behaviour excused by autism. "But but but he's autistic. He doesn't know 🥺" He does. He does know.

the lack of outcry from law enforcement over the pardoning of law enforcement attackers feels like all the sirens blaring and lights flashing red.

Last year I formed a grassroots group to find out why the DuPont Clinic’s lease was cancelled in Beverly Hills. We uncovered city officials & councilmembers working with antiabortion extremists. DuPont has mostly lost their lawsuit against the city & now the city is going after them for legal fees.

Even if you don't think your big corporation is going to start disappearing their DEI stuff, not a bad idea to preserve what their documents promising to deliver diversity or setting standards about things like accessibility looked like. I didn't think anything could surprise me anymore.

Now is a great time to enthusiastically confirm your support for LGBTQ+ rights - particularly those of trans and enby folks at the moment - and the rights of women, BIPOC communities, and anybody else that the new US administration is actively trying to oppress.

Black queer people exist beyond Black History Month and Pride Month. Read that again.

Trans people: Hey, don’t misgender people even if they’re shitty. Cis “allies”: Enjoy the camps, tranny!

If you need a dose of queer joy today (please note anyone doomshitting on queer joy will get a block to the face)

Say it with me, "Children are people too." Those who don't believe that, those that feel it's okay to treat children as if they are sub human... ... should NEVER be trusted. How you treat kids, animals, and various groups of minority and disabled people is who you are at your core.

the absurdities of fascism are not exploitable weaknesses so long as they are backed by a monopoly on violence it doesn't matter how stupid or incoherent their beliefs are if they can enforce their consequences upon you laugh if it helps keep you sane, but organise if you want to resist

just drops by to say that president's fake science gender nonsense is really upsetting to me as an intersex person, existing.

I hate it here.

Remember when a few months ago several major news outlets suddenly ran op-eds all at once about how he wasn't going to implement project 2025 after all and how he was actually going to turn out to be a moderate and everyone needs to relax? It turns out they did not have your best interests at heart.

Somebody told me 11yrs ago to my face—couched as a “joke”, of course—that I had only gotten hired because I was Black It’s been like this tbh They’ll just be more likely to tell us they think this now

genuinely love that I have that gay girl ttrpg nerdy punk autism and not that sieg heil on the national stage autism

To be clear, our most historically trusted media outlets carried a tremendous amount of water & shattered their credibility for an administration that will now make it state policy to see them ousted from their jobs if they show even bare minimum backbone. They were warned of this for many years.

Grimes being like “we broke up, do I really have to answer for everything he does?” is so funny. Yes, bitch you do, you fucked him for years when it was already clear that he sucked. You gotta wear that one forever.

My normie husband asked me what was up with the NIH freeze and how could they do it when very obviously it is a good thing that we should do, and I gave him “they’re Nazis; it’s eugenics” as my answer. Some combo of camps, deportation, and disease is how they’ll make us “great” again.

Corporate strategists: Young employees want to travel to onsite conference centers so they can attend seminars and network to grow their careers! Every actual young person I know: The world is on fire, please let me eat my Spaghetti-Os in peace.

Perhaps ironically, the legislation of gender by politicians makes it clear that gender is a political construct, one which is conceptualized and enforced by those in positions of power, pursuant to their interests and desires.

hey everyone it’s okay, we’re gonna rock down to electric avenue

Watching Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations. A dog barked and the caption read “[Speaking foreign language.]” and I thought it RULED until I realized there were guys in the background speaking Malay.

HATSUNE MIKU?! 😮

"Refuse to comply in advance." YES… and realize that the ability to follow this directive is proportional to one's privilege. Those with more privilege should lean into it to protect those of less privilege, while the latter should compromise as needed to survive. Above all, stay alive and intact.
