Ableism Ain't Cute @AbleismC

@ people saying you don’t deserve community if you put no effort into building it - y’all will die on the hill of transactional care + labor!! Some Disabled people need constant care & we give less than we receive but we still deserve all of it. It’s not balancing an equation.

@mbabz95 Aren’t a ton of states not reporting tho? also it sounds like a lot of hospitals aren’t even testing patients for COVID anymore so I bet those numbers are a big undercount, on top of all the other ways we were already undercounting. Just how big of an undercount, idk

@RebeccaCokley @nowthisnews These arguments sound good on first blush but we don't live in an anti-ableist society where this would be possible. This is why we need, at a minimum, laws like the ADA to be enforced & to work towards minimizing ableism. They also leave out other -isms that impact outcomes.

@RebeccaCokley @nowthisnews Super fun that the "not a disability" video talks about moving away from the medical model of disability toward the social model by adapting environments and providing accommodations when the primary way to do that is... through legal protections for disabled people 🙃

@nowthisnews so by your definition, we should remove all disability-related protections from people with ADHD and Autism? No ADA, IDEA, 504, DD Act? So if they get fired or suspended for being how they are, tough cookies? That is a bold, and ableist take..

I'm 🤒sick right now, & not gonna be online much. Typically I try to RT ppl's MutAid req's, but I can't right now. Use this 🧵thread to list them 👇below:

Are they mocking me for being physically disabled??? WTF is wrong with these people!? And like, I'm getting treatment for my epilepsy, chronic pain, dislocations, etc - but what's that got to do with the discussion at hand? 😕❓

While a lot of my feed is filled with disabled people and they're currently showing support for one another... abled people rarely show up to show their support, it always feels like an echo chamber. It stings less than when I originally realized this but it still stings.

@blocktogether I know it probably won't happen but it'd be great if @TwitterSupport could team up with @blocktogether on this issue. Probably too much to ask from @jack and @biz to actually do something about harassment on this platform though...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but: AVOIDING WEARING A MASK WILL NOT HELP YOU BUILD IMMUNITY TO COVID-19. I can think of no explanation for why Abby Johnson is spreading lies like this, except that she wants to get people killed.

Of all the things Pelosi could have said about the president, fat shaming wasn't the right choice.

@drmistercody @SomeMoreNews Could you not do Ableism maybe? Using the very logics of the right on which they build their politics to kill people to mock them is not hurting fascists, but marginalized folks, like disabled people. Ableism is interwoven with racism, sexism and other tenets of white supremacy

@destr278 @drmistercody @SomeMoreNews Because it plays of established common sense that includes internalized racism, sexism, Transmisia and others. It is also repeated. Thought Slime has done that already: youtu.be/mMcAwqsk3eg

@vauxpopuli @romluras @drmistercody @SomeMoreNews autistichoya.com/p/ableist-word… Technically, yea there is, when you really mean someone is willfully ignorant and hateful.

@destr278 @drmistercody @SomeMoreNews It shows a specific type of strength that is considered to be manly. Also who is "they"? It is a specific "they" like alphas, Bros or Incel. That is not a majority. You won't win a battle with the right on their ground with their logics, bc they won already as you reproduced it

@destr278 @drmistercody @SomeMoreNews I choose where I want to spent my energy, and "stupid" still refers to (a presumed lack of) cognitive abilities pointing to the flawed concept of intelligence based upon racist believes. All those words are still ableist and a common use just shows how deeply ingrained it is.

This pandemic killed my grandfather but yes, I am sorry you have not been able to get your haircut.

Congratulations! I wish I were in your state - I need a haircut. @jbouie looks like he has more of a shaved head thing going, so I guess it's no biggie for him.

@jbouie @BusterBlackJet I do erotic massages, and the amount of regular clients I have had to cut from my clients, is huge. I reminded one yesterday that my health is way more important than his dick.

@jbouie @CnBsNana I reported that a$$hole for taunting you. I will never understand what broke inside the people who think their haircuts and hedge funds are more important than the folks who brought us into this world. I am so very sorry for your loss. Hugs to you. 😢💔

@jbouie @TheTNHoller Learn how to cut your own hair. Ask a family member to help. Don’t be stupid. Haircuts not that important.
