Okay Bluesky, we know how important it is to name and #shame intolerant and toxic people. We need a word for people intolerant of those on the #Autism spectrum. It needs to end in the suffix “-phobe.” Give me some ideas. #autistic #help #ableism #actuallyautistic #intolerance #autismawareness
The essay (and extended bibliography/notes) to my initial response to the Birdman: an autopsy of the #HarryPotter franchise as a whole, alongside comparisons to #Tolkien and prior examinations of that author. 1/4

Quite possibly every Labour voter has at least one family member, friend, colleague, or neighbour who is going to suffer terribly from Labour's attack on disabled people. Their hatred (of immigrants, of trans people) has already lost them votes; this should finish them off. #DontVoteLabour #ableism

#Ableism everywhere. Thank you for noticing it and thank you for understanding the potential impact. That is more than most people do.
“This is highly unusual.”
Translation: “ugh, considering your needs inconveniences ME!”

@lucywebster.bsky.social on managing internalised #ableism. Tricky, especially for the older generation like me. Sad its still an issue for younger #disabled people #access #accessibility lucywebster.substack.com/p/why-are-so...

People keep telling me to "meet people where they're at" or "listen to people and they'll listen to you."
But they only say this when I write about transphobia and/or ableism and/or racism...
... which makes me wonder: will these people meet me where I'm at? Will they listen to me before they […]
You #disabled people that are lucky enough to fit within the ludicrous parameters and GET “benefits” who make it an “I’m A Good One” flex, need to STOP IT WITH THE #ABLEISM. Stop attacking other #DisabledPeople!
Dropped kerbs are a menace! They're often done too tall. I was very nearly catapulted into the path of an oncoming lorry earlier because of a dropped kerb that wasn't. It was scary!

You have got to be absolutely kidding me?! Obviously, this person knows much more about having a disability than I do. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I’m shutting up now before I really let rip. 😡 #ableism
Just opened todon and already blocked 2 people sharing ableist slurs for fascists.
So, just a reminder:
- Ableism depoliticises fascism.
- Ableism = eugenics = White supremacy.
- You don't fight fascism with more fascism. You fight fascism with solidarity.

Sometimes it seems like deafness is the last frontier in inclusivity. People who embrace diversity and all expressions of humanity still expect deaf and hard of hearing people to want to appear hearing. My experience: kohne.substack.com/p/how-to-be-... #deaf #hardofhearing #disability #ableism

I don't "let" my disability get in the way, ----- it just does. It's not a choice. @FibroColors White text on purple background
The pro-eugenics Medical Review of Reviews hired four vagrants to demonstrate on Wall Street in 1915. The picture’s original caption said the signs the men were paid to carry asked “some very pertinent questions.” Some of the signs read, “Would the prisons and asylums be filled if my kind had no children?” and “I can’t read this sign. By what right I have children?”

Good grief, it's not as if it's difficult to describe a picture. They'll have an entire social media news team, and at least one of them will know, surely?
If anything, if you work in social media and *don't* know what alt-text is, you're in the wrong job.
#Ableism
Du gibst angegriffen, schwarz-weiß sehend und null Ursache - Wirkung im komplexen Rahmen sehend und wirst dann persönlich, indem Du #ableism raushaust.
Das ist keine Grundlage für ne Diskussion. Du merkst nicht einmal mehr, ob Dir jemand zustimmt oder nicht. Schönen Tag noch 🖖

I experienced #ableism @ Belgium's writes place. A white Italian lady didn't liked that I had to paused our convo to put on my hearing aids to hear over the loud tourists in the area. She left me to go off into the night. Then, a white guy refused to sit in the many empty seats near me. #racism
