Friendly reminder that hating on shitheads can and should be done without bringing their physical traits or perceived mental illnesses into the process.

The shitheads you’re talking about will probably never see your insults (and if they do, they won’t care), but your friends with those same traits will definitely see your insults, and no longer feel safe around you.

You know what’s fucked up? Perfect attendance awards in school. Do they still do those? I’m hoping covid had to put a stop to that shit.

Giving kids a prize for just showing up every single day. It’s a prize for never having a trauma or illness or inconvenience that kept you out of school for even one single day. My schools included tardiness for the prize, too. Never late, never absent. Win a prize and public praise.

And lookie now: we have no (or shit) sick or personal time off, and we’re expected to show up to work no matter what is going on in the world.

rhetorical and probably pointless, but:

what would the fediverse look like if news outlets cw'd news behind helpful content warnings, hashtagged #news, as well as engaged with the community?

anyway, if @ProPublica is looking to hire a disabled person willing to do this, hit me up.

Flying dinosaur birds.

everyone talks about antifa, but what about uncle fa?
