This feels like the men who used to get irritated when women started using "Ms" instead of "Miss" or "Mrs". They were annoyed that they were being asked to be respectful when they didn't want to be bothered.

Look into the history of concentration camps and tell me you don’t see the piles of crutches, prosthetics and other disability related remains that are still there. Disabled people died immediately, because according to Nazis, they couldn’t work. See Joseph Mengele.

It's not easy to relieve your trauma and bear your soul to strangers all so you can get help.
It's not easy AT ALL.
And the more marginalized you are. The more likely you'll suffer abuse and get accused of being a fake or scammer. And the more violent people get towards you.

Researchers completed the first large longitudinal study on trans children this year. They found only 97.5% of trans kids continued to identify as trans. Those that desisted did so for various reasons including the violence faced as trans people. publications.aap.org/pediatrics/art

A reminder:
* COVID is airborne.
* Herd immunity did not happen.
* Omicron was not mild.
* Kids do get sick.
* Transmission does occur in schools.
* Each variant is not milder.
* No wave has been an exit wave.
Minimizers have been wrong about every
single one of those things…🦠

A Black professor had his house appraised.
The value: $472,000.
Then he removed indications of Blackness from his home, including family photos.
He had a white colleague — another Johns Hopkins professor — stand in.
The second appraisal: $750,000.

There are a fair few 'WW1' photos that have done the rounds over the last few years, almost always misidentified, sometimes with good intent, but often used to reinforce old myths, here are a few of the usual ones (and the truth behind them)... 1

This makes no damn sense.
There is no reality in which a person is mature enough to raise a child but not mature enough to terminate their pregnancy.
Quote Tweet
Jane Doe 22-B lacks the maturity to be allowed to terminate her 10-week-pregnancy, an Escambia judge said. She will have to grow up fast: An appeals court has cleared the way for her to be forced to become a mother.

If by quiet quitting, we mean doing what one is paid for and no more, we are really talking about setting healthy boundaries.

This, this, 100,000 times this.
There is no such thing as "quiet quitting", just like there's no such thing as "nobody wants to work any more". People are learning to not be treated like shit, and the people who want to treat other people like shit are cranky about it.

I woke up angry this morning: angry at every provider I’ve seen since my injury 4 years ago who told me to lose weight and exercise more as treatment for a totally destroyed ACL. Dr yesterday was amazed I could walk: it’s been ripped entirely from the bone.

If you want evidence, just look at my mentions from him yesterday.
These are the same violent nutjobs that murdered George Tiller for providing abortions.

Elon Musk went to Kevin McCarthy’s Party last night in Wyoming—to celebrate Liz Cheney’s loss.
While speaking at the MAGA party, Musk asked everyone to deny that he was there. Musk made sure that no press was allowed anywhere near the property—then people started posting selfies

People really don't know how little of a social safety net we have until they need it. Newly disabled and can't pay rent? Wait list for Section 8 (that landlords won't even accept) is 15 years. Need food stamps + make minimum wage? You don't qualify. Medicaid? Don't qualify.

The more I've looked into this, the more I'm struck by how many media-fueled myths have been about social change advocates being violent and unreasonable.
- "Bra-burning feminists"
- Anti-war protestors spitting on troops
- Animal rights activists throwing paint

Just to repeat myself, moral panics about intolerant students and campus censorship has existed in UK since late 1960s and the reason that it might seem more prevalent today is that there is a political interest in amplifying the notion of a free speech ‘crisis’.

Dismantling education is a core requirement for fascism. Free thinking is harder to control.
