Honestly, this is, in my guesstimation, the #1 reason people presume that “chronically online” people are overreacting. Because in their daily experience, they know maybe three (openly) disabled people, and THEY don’t need XYZ kind of assistance! Yeah, dude, there’s confirmation bias out the butt

Everything in the evening should start at 7:30 pm. It should just be standard so we never wonder what time to show up. 7:30. That’s the time.

 "A Labubu was left on Karl Marx's grave." 

The left photo is of the Tomb of Karl Marx in Highgate Cemetery. The right photo is a close-up of a small Labubu.

Perpetual reminder that making fun of "bad" fat people means that "good" fat people are one infraction away from you being an asshole at them about their bodies and it is completely at your whim and mercy. It's not a good look.
