sometime i feel the word disability tax doesnt fully describe the egregious dehumanization disabled folks constantly have to deal with. its the never-ending administrative violence on top of other forms of violence, that makes you physically and mentally unwell.

A friend has Covid right now. They have lost their sense of smell and they're having cognitive problems. This hit me today, as it often does: we made, and continue to make, a huge collective mistake in allowing a virus that impacts the brain to transmit unmitigated globally.

It's also understanding that autism is an intrinsic part of human diversity, of autistic people. You don't get autism outside of autistic people, and we should value and cherish them (cherish *you*) as we would any precious member of our family and society.

Like so many women, I’ve experienced a miscarriage. Years ago, when my doctor couldn’t find a heartbeat, I was given medication to help me through it. I was grateful to have access to the care I needed during an incredibly difficult time.

Someone left a bag at the gate next to mine, and no one seems to be all that concerned about it. Weird because they always have all the announcements about not leaving your belongings unattended.

the sad part is that survivors fought like hell to even get expulsion for rapists on the table. when I was an activist > 10 years ago, administrators were *shocked* that we wanted expulsion as a disciplinary option.

One anti-pattern that I really, really hate is - when "offering" a feature or upgrade - only presenting a choice between Do It Now and Ask Me Again Later. I would guess that 90% of users, if given their druthers, would actually choose Fuck Off And Never Bother Me Again.

When you concede to them these points, you’re conceding that it’s OK to punch down and letting them position themselves to ask for even more"

I chose to publish an anonymous article from a rape victim back in college, and the newspaper advisor was NOT happy. He said it wasn't "really rape" because the victim shut down. That was the '90s, before people started talking about how anything less than an enthusiastic yes is a no.

It’s worth pointing out that Cornell students receive consent training. Schools pivoted to primarily informal responses to sexual violence years ago. This gang rape happened because those solutions didn’t work. Survivors and their advocates have been raising an alarm about that for almost a decade.

Worth noting as well that the same people who think this (that rapists shouldn't have to face the consequences of their actions because of "their future") ALSO think that Black people "deserve" to be shot by police / undocumented immigrants "deserve" being thrown in concentration camps for existing.
