Which people? And do you have more information than can be found in the article? The only people in the story that strike me as "tedious and aggravating" and the article's writer and publishers.

I feel really bad that I didn't remember the 21st of September. It's almost time to wake up that guy from Green Day, though so hopefully I won't forget to do that.

And then, of course, there are the "liberals" who are perfectly okay with throwing trans people under the bus. I hate it here.

So many people are blocking me right now. People hate having their ableism held up in front of them. I haven’t said anything other than be more empathetic to the disabled and chronically ill. I desperately wish people understood the hostility we get from all of society, including “allies.”

(The reason I'm thinking about this is because I'm remembering how much I struggled to read ALL of Don Quixote in grad school, yet somehow I read the bible when I was like 13. Reading was so much easier when I was a kid!)

That is actually very reassuring! Occasionally I go back and watch my performance in The Nutcracker -- I was a student at a relatively prolific ballet school -- and I cringe so hard because I feel like mistakes were made (even though I was still learning). One day I'd like to just enjoy watching it.

I know almost nothing about Macklemore, I wouldn't even recognize him if I saw him, but now I will always remember him as that guy who did a Jewish caricature costume and then made it worse with one of the worst apologies I've ever read. He's gonna have to do a lot if he wants to redeem himself.

The last season of Friends was so weird because on the one hand, they said Oh shoot people are pointing out that we have no black actors -- let's hire Aisha Tyler, quick! But on the other hand, they said Oh shoot people are noticing that Phoebe may be bisexual, let's marry her to Paul Rudd, quick!

When I see a new mental health professional and they ask, "what are some of your PTSD triggers," I usually go "uhhhhh" because there are so many potential triggers and I'm trying to think of which ones would be easiest to explain. This one requires a very long, complicated story.

Negligence is not nothing. In some instances, negligence is a crime. You don't get to wipe clean harm that you have caused by saying "it was an accident 🤷‍♀️."
012
Kirsten R. 🏳️‍🌈♿ (Disabled Academic) @ringwraith10.bsky.social · 20/03/2026
"It was an accident 🤷‍♀️" does not, should not, absolve a person from taking responsibility for the result of said "accident." If one "accidentally" kills someone there should still be consequences. If your "accident" caused harm to another person, you can't just throw up your hands and say "oh well."

We went from "no AI slop pinky swear" to "Xbox is becoming Copilot" in like 2 weeks flat. It's like they're having an internal competition to see how many ways they can force people to stop using Xbox. Double price of game pass. Hike console prices. Put the Copilot BS everyone hates on it.

My whole family put their lives on hold because the ballet needed me, a lowly toy soldier (with a featured, but not solo role). Because we had thousands of people coming to see the show in a small town, south GA theater. But nobody cares about ballet, I guess.
