Wheelchair users are not exclusively paralyzed. There isn’t reliable data for it, but many, many of us are ambulatory (can walk sometimes, either for short periods or on good days). When you accuse someone of faking because you saw a leg move, you’re not taking into account a variety of conditions.

okay it's time for a prompt post: respond to this post with a correction to a common misconception about something you know a lot about. if you feel like it, boost your response. (please use a kindly tone about it, otherwise i, your prompt curator, will get anxious.)

Project 2025 wants to put Hyun Sook and I, and anyone else who writes books they falsely scream "pornography" at, in prison. They want the teachers and librarians who shelve our books to be registered sex offenders. I know what books they consider "porn," because my book banners are on their board.

Psst: Project 2025 is terrifying for a lot of reasons but also because on page 5 it calls for teachers and librarians who grant access to books that are maligned as pornography (which just means anything LGBTQ) to be registered as sex offenders. Pass it on.

Because I can’t keep cringing and calling out journalists/the public: It’s “wheelchair user” “powerchair user” Never “confined to a wheelchair,” they empower movement so this is inaccurate and inappropriate, and also violates the National Center on Disability and Journalism editing guide

Is it just me, or are our Olympic uniforms giving big "just axe murdered a guy" vibes?

Adobe is getting so much flack for their AI features that in sponsored social media posts they’ve stopped using the term ‘AI’ & now call it ‘text to vector art’ 🙄 Don’t let them dodge pushback because of this rebrand attempt & imo they can still fuck ‘emselves for stealing work from their customers

So sad to see this. She was an icon when I was I growing up (and not that much older than me)

Oh, this is awful. 53 is so, so young.

Use the good stuff. Get out the good art supplies. Use the good herbs. Wear the nice shirt. If you have it, and you are saving it for some imaginary someday. DO NOT. You are worthy now.

I never thought I would read "Masks are proven to protect against the transmission of Covid-19 and other airborne viruses" in The New York Times but there it is. Thank you Violet Affleck. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/10/s...

A Daughter of Hollywood Royalty Appeals to Los Angeles: No Mask Banswww.nytimes.com Violet Affleck, the eldest child of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, called for greater access to masks in a short speech during which she revealed her own “post-viral condition.”

IOW, project 2025 desires to kill people who have chronic illness/disability. Eugenics.

I have re-read chapter 14 of project 2025 for work and i'm genuinely going to go take a benzo now "Add targeted time limits [on Medicaid] or lifetime caps on [Medicaid] benefits to disincentivize permanent dependence"

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.
