okay sub par dialogues but why is penelope in love with a basic yt boy? literally this is killing me now

Disabled and disability aren't slurs. There is no shame in being disabled or part of the disability community.

Trying to avoid using the words disabled or disability puts shame on the words and is actually ableism and eugenics.

Knock it off.

started watching bridgerton this weekend to see what the fuss is all about. and honestly, apart from the dialogues and benedict bridgerton, i don't get it. but now we have kate sharma, and she truly makes my heart sing. her eyes alone gets me

why doesn't the CARE International resources page not exist anymore? and why is their research on the Cost of Violence, published on March 26th 2018 completely lost?

2025 will go down as the year when all the subtext became text

was on Twitter to post company updates and saw this there. who is gonna tell this idiot that he/she is also a fucking pronoun?

P.S: im so glad i stopped using that platform

There are no good-faith anti-trans arguments and no acceptable compromises on trans lives

Where a Strongman Failed, Women Are Now Fueling a Democratic Revival (Gift Article) A leftist movement in Sri Lanka that took power after an economic collapse is seizing a rare opportunity to rally more women into politics.

"The number of women in Parliament doubled. Still, the country has far to go — women still make up just 10 percent of lawmakers. There are only two women among the 21 ministers in Mr. Dissanayake’s cabinet."

Folks, I see a lot of you recently feeling free to use some variation of the "R" word for mentally disabled, including appending the last four letters as suffix to describe people you don't like. I'm not down with that, so if you do it in my comments, I'm gonna hide that shit at least. Be better.

The Turning Point - Penguin Random House India Admiral of the Fleet Wasantha Karannagoda became the Commander of the Sri Lanka Navy on 1 September 2005 and led the navy during the fourth Eelam war, which resulted in the comprehensive defeat of the...

sanctioned for gross human rights violations, but apparently no one told Penguin India since they seem fine with platforming Karannagoda for... what a war crime memoir? www.penguin.co.in/book/the-tur... #SriLanka

were they? french are popular for it, but i don't think any civilisations existed or were destroyed without a revolution

in that case, we aren't any different imo. but we were still able to come together at one point. the gun part however is a big risk

yeah, that's the main thing everyone points out. especially since the other side proudly wants to walk around with guns 😞

The U.S. just declared that trans kids can’t socially transition at public schools or get care in institutions that get any form of public funds. Given the science around suicidality in trans youth, that’s a threat to their lives.

Canada and other nations must offer asylum for families.

honestly hoping for an Aragalaya style protest to break out in the USA. but everyone tells me it's silly to expect Americans to do that

Today: Politicians and some places are... Ridiculing and mocking people with disabilities. Suppressing American Sign Language. Cancelling, defunding, or restricting research programs on disabilities and accessibility. Calling Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility programs as wasteful, radical, and "woke". Blaming disabled folks for irrelevant incidents. Many more happened and is happening... It is just starting now.

Toxic behaviour and dehumanization of people with disabilities are on the rise, with politicians, companies, & others making life harder for them.

History warns us to prevent repeats.

You may not be disabled today, but the future is uncertain. Advocate and support now for all and yourself. #a11y

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

The text of this is fevered nonsense that will kill children.

If you've ever been "just asking questions" or argued that this medical care is anything but the well-documented and correct treatment it has always been, I hate your guts and want you to know you deserve a life of abject misery.

This is what should be driving us every time we vote.

They only like thing that don't make sense.

cat tax. that's all.

For those saying it wasn't a Nazi salute.

Keep posting it. Keep sharing it.

Don’t underestimate the impact you’re making when you choose to wear a mask.

You’re standing in solidarity with disabled people & telling the government that no one is expendable
