why did we stop sending men to the moon. So many men could fit up there

Was thinking about how this season reminded me so much of Mad Men (with Carm and Richie acting like Don and Roger in S3 when they hated each other for silly reasons) and then they come out with the “I don’t think about you” line. Kinda biter behavior?

Josh Hartnett is absolutely perfect casting as a companion for Gillian Jacobs. They’re both the same type of ‘00s hot and have aged into being even hotter somehow?

Wait, there was another Biden thing on TV? And you watched it? There really isn’t a hot stove you all wouldn’t touch.

Dislington????????! (shout to my fellow Blankies, especially those in the UK)

I'm pointing to one direct material consequence here, but there's also those who won't go out or participate if they need the mobility or stability help too. Fewer disabled people will participate in public when some of our simple tech is constantly depicted as signaling our inferior/lesser status.

This rep is bad enough, but there are material consequences to having walkers constantly maligned and seen as something to avoid: people will avoid them. They will avoid using them when they should, and it will cost in terms of injury and death (because we know things can go south from a fall).

None of those dudes use walkers. But disabled people do. Maybe we should think more carefully about how we represent disability technologies, esp when framed as the only image next to the words "No way to run a country."

It's hard to avoid some element of internalized ableism, but it's so clear how it becomes internalized sometimes when everything around you screams at you "mobililty aid = lesser/incompetent/lower faculty." The Economist is absolutely being ableist with that image.

Walkers repeated used to point out infirmity/old age becomes fewer people being willing to use walkers or being seen using one. Walkers are mobility/stability tools: we might think of that as a neutral or even as a positive thing, if not for the cruddy way walkers are maligned - like in that cover.

A lot of ableism isn't deliberate: that makes it more pernicious! A walker is representing being at lower faculty, by your description. I tweeted this on the other site: "The way walkers are used in media/culture is truly revolting -- & this rep prevents ppl from using what is a useful tool."

Using the walker on the magazine cover is not deliberately ableist. And at some point people are going to have to learn discernment and how to view creative media within the context it’s presented. The walker on the cover is to the point of an elderly person no longer being at full faculty.

Loving fireworks is probably my worst personality trait. It’s not even a patriotism thing, I just think they’re cool as shit. Sorry not sorry to your pets and whatever but I should get to enjoy myself outside sometimes too!

On this, the day of American independence and freedom, I have to speak my truth: hot dogs are fucking disgusting. As far as I’m concerned the 4th of July is a hamburger holiday and that’s that 👩🏾‍⚖️

“Some children think that their legs might grow again. This is one of the saddest things that we hear on a regular basis, when talking to children. They tell us, we’re waiting for our legs to grow again. Sometimes, it’s difficult to explain that that’s not going to happen.”

Solidarity with those affected as Hurricane Beryl makes landfall. Jamaica is home to thousands of farm workers who come yearly to the US on H2A visas, hundreds of whom are UFW members. From deadly heat to extreme storms, farm workers are on the front lines of climate crisis.

Four-day weekend: activate. Need this break like I need cool air and a cold Coke.

Why I moved away from my hometown the first chance I got, Exhibit A:

Woke up still sad about Klay.

I’d also add that nondisabled folks should familiarize themselves with how many disabled people there actually are, as disability is one of the largest marginalized groups at somewhere between 1/5 and 1/4 of the (US) population. Disabled people can’t be treated like some tiny special interest group.

For Disability Pride Month, one thing I'd love abled bodied people to figure out is how to speak to someone with chronic health issues without implying that if they themselves had the disabled person's health conditions, they would end it all. I promise you life goes on- even with health issues.

even behaviors that seem benign like assuming someone must wish for a cure are contributing to this framing! we have to be more careful.

feel like this is such an important point about accessibility overall people don't realize that framing someone's everyday lived experience as something inherently negative is not sympathy or solidarity it's actually extremely fucked up!

Maybe I'm super fucked up but having the supreme court declare that J6 was fine and good actually feels worse than J6
