Holy shit ASOS released an adaptive clothing line specifically for people with disabilities?!?!!! Magnets instead of buttons, special pockets and holes to hold wearable medical devices that have tubes, and zippers to make them more comfortable for wheelchair users. www.asos.com/women/fashio...

Please, please stop referring to disabled people as “the disabled”. Or “the mentally ill”. Or “the diabetic”. It’s an archaic grammatical choice that stems from—you guessed it—eugenics. Dehumanization. It’s automatic distance and othering.

Hi. If someone tells you about their depression, anxiety, or even insomnia, try to avoid responding with obvious remedies that they have of course already tried. They’re suffering, not stupid. Also please avoid banal mental reframing efforts and quackery. Perhaps just listen kindly. Okay then.

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

Dr with Chronic illness (@fibroindiangirl). The profile picture shows a woman with long dark hair wearing a white lab coat. The text of the post reads: "Chronic illness is acting normal in public and falling apart the second you're alone. It's holding it together just long enough so no one feels uncomfortable. It's pushing through dinner, conversations, laughter and then lying in bed staring at the ceiling because your body finally stopped pretending. People think you handled it well. They don't see the part where it wrecked you."
