When Musk denies that he did a big ol Nazi salute during the inauguration, remember this, from Jean-Paul Sartre, 1944.
Never believe that anti-
Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will

I am once again begging you to understand that a man can be good at art AND a monster. Pretending once the truth comes out that the art was never actually that good only shelters the next monster.

Pals…. What accountancy software are you using? Especially looking for recommendations from ND folk who can convince me it’ll be better than my spreadsheet

I love this. Think about access as part of a show’s dramaturgy to move away from ableist norms

That the legal system too often becomes a second round of violation, abuse, and bullying is well known and still worth repeating.

Private money is no different to public money. Being privately owned simply means profit is the motive. Being publically owned means optimal service is the motive. Don't mistake underfunded for broken.

I’ve started responding to things on here. I know a few people have said but I just hadn’t realised how much the toxic environment in the other place was leading to me saying very little

I like these! I’d also add just to communicate in contract negotiations. If you need to run a point up the management line to get approval so it’s taking longer let me know, don’t just go ten days without responding

Please, please, pleeeeassse stop buying train tickets on Trainline. They add a booking fee. Booking direct saves you money as none of the train companies add booking fees. (From a disgruntled producer paying travel expenses to crew and cast)

As a neurodivergent person who struggles with remembering things that aren’t right in front of me, all of these new follows on this new platform are full of the joy of “oh my god and YOU! I love you” … basically I’m DELIGHTED to remake your acquaintance

We are not playing the "health is morality" game anymore. We should never have played it to begin with. The whole idea that if you have a pre-existing condition you have somehow earned severe illness and waved your right to compassion was pushed during lockdowns to make people spend again.

As a person who can be forgetful but who also wants to uphold disability justice whenever I can, I wanted to share how you can change your settings so that Bluesky won’t allow you to post until all your images have alt text. Alt text doesn’t have to be a big ordeal!
image shows the accessibility settings menu for bluesky, where one can toggle on or off different settings, including to make it mandatory to add alt text to images.
