Please pay attention, and please don’t abandon disabled people like me that live in horrible states like Indiana. We need so many eyes on this.

A lot of people didn’t think this kind of thing would happen. It’s hard for some to believe.
But it’s going to keep happening. They’ll continue to try and shock you. Try not to let them.
We’ve got a long road ahead of us.

If anyone ever says something like...
"Yeah but that's against the ADA" or tells you to sue for inaccessibility...
You have my full permission to send them this thread.
This is a bad sign. A very, very bad sign.

English speakers laugh at this so hard. As they should! It’s really funny.
What people need to realize is how heavily the *ability to hear* impacts learning to read & pronounce weird words like in the video.

DEPRIVATION
AND
CULTURAL
ERASURE

There is no bottom to these rightwing imbeciles. I have family members, close friends, and former coworkers with disabilities.
Enough of this fascist shit.

You're immature if you think this is just a silly matter of Bluesky vs. Twitter.
There are evil people with REAL political power and hundreds of thousands of supporters threatening the ADA and ASL interpretation.

Oh also, every day but *especially* this day feels like a good day to remind you that one of the 2 biggest orgs against the passage of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) was the Evangelical Christian school lobby.
Guess who's looking to settle some scores! 💫🙏🏼
