With the HP trailer dropping tomorrow, here's the whole deal: If you watch the show, hell even just the trailer, I will think less of you. I will dislike you. I will think you don't care about trans people. That's it. It's been years. There's no wiggle room. No qualifiers. You care or you don't.

if Anita Bryant was still alive and promoting Florida orange juice, you couldn't pay me enough to drink it. how is Harry Potter any different? here is a timeline of JK Rowling's transphobia: web.archive.org/web/20241225... & here is where her HP money is going: www.advocate.com/news/jk-rowl...

the amount of people who say ableist things to disabled people on digital apps because there is no consequence is appalling. ASKING DISABLED PEOPLE HOW THEY BECAME DISABLED IS NOT A WAY TO START A CONVERSATION WITH US... BUT IT IS A WAY TO END A CONVERSATION WITH US.

disabled people who cannot work deserve so much more money than governments give them to live.

To the people who don't think disability hierarchy is real: If some have all access needs met that they "barely think about it", and on the other side there are disabled people who don't have all their access needs met, so much so they can't stop thinking about disability, it's real. Not sorry.

I just had someone with a disability pop into my DMs to tell me that my content is “too negative”, and that “they don’t even think about their disabilities”. Wow, I am so happy for this person. Also, if you don’t want to follow me, don’t. Disabled people can be really mean to one another.

Happy birthday to Renée Taylor: The actress who played Fran Drescher's mom was part of the cohort that basically invented modern improv comedy and Barbra Streisand opened for HER

We (white Canada) often talk about reconciliation and decolonization as though they are essentially done because the residential schools are closed but that is very much not the case from the POV of Indigenous people. They see it as something they are still waiting to see happen...

srsly this is so great

for the record: no disabled person likes being asked about whether or not their genitalia works on a dating app. I don’t know how you think this will score you points... it will score you a block though.

I love that Nathan Lane said, "I got news for Timmy: If you think nobody cares about opera and ballet, I can’t tell you how much we don’t care about ping-pong.”

the weight of needing help with everything as a severely disabled person is very real. Needing help with the simplest things that others can do with ease, and without the need for another human is really real. We tend to overlook those feelings when we talk about disability and we shouldn't be.

they killed kids

Top disability Podcast in The US. Wow.

Merriam-Webster chose violence today

Top disability Podcast in The US. Wow.

Found a few people. Thanks. Now closed.

At 41 and 10 months old, as a severely disabled person, I feel a whole lotta shame about never having a relationship. It's a sore spot for me, and then I remember that I spent a lot of time growing up way too fast dealing with ableist attitudes that I never asked for.

being queer and disabled is exhausting because you are constantly reminded of all the ways you have to shape shift in different communities to be “accepted”.

Isn't funny how disabled people with more privilege will tell disabled people with less privilege and who need more support, to just get over their internalized ableism. But, no one tells the disabled person with more privilege to get over theirs. Lateral ableism is very real and has to stop.

Looking for a disabled voice over artist to help me record a new podcast intro for my show Disability After Dark. Need 30 sec v/o. Paid! Reach out at [email protected]

disabled people understand "no one is coming to save you" in a whole lotta ways they shouldn't have to.

In the disability community we treat people who need more support as less important, less "inspirational', and that is exhausting.

If they can break the arm of an able-bodied fit Marine, just think about what they are doing to disabled folks who don't have able-bodiedness.

Again. This matters.

The idea that imperfect victims aren’t worth defending is much bigger than me, and is something I had to speak out about. What kind of world does it create when only some of us are deemed worthy of institutional support and safety?

He’s a war criminal, a PDF, one of the most despicable people on the planet; all of that is true. But, could you please not perpetuate ableism by commenting on his body. He won’t see it. Your disabled friends will.

Ugh LOVE him

Frida Kahlo is a famous disabled artist. Her art explores her disability. When she had the accident that disabled her, she painted from her bed in her casts. Many artists in history have been disabled. Many are now. You will not find them fighting to have AI take their creative process from them.

@pup-bubba.bsky.social such a hottie

Happy Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month to my fellow Cerebral Palsy peeps out there. Now, normally around this time, I suggest that if you don't have Cerebral Palsy, you should give people with CP $200. This year, I want you to support Black People with Cerebral Palsy. White ppl w/ CP will be okay.

here's just a cute photo of me, out yesterday at the latest scream film.

fucking yikes

disability justice means talking about things that we're all afraid to see as truth, like: 1. white disabled people are given bigger platforms, bigger opportunities and better reach than Black Disabled People. 2. white supremacy is connected to ableism

This 30-year-old transgender man, who can’t swim, jumped into Lake Michigan after a wind gust blew a baby in a stroller into the freezing water. He’s being called a hero. But now he has medical expenses, and people are donating to a fundraiser to support him. www.advocate.com/news/lio-cun...

hi. one of the biggest misconceptions about disabled people, especially wheelchair users who need support, is the idea that we are not hygienic or clean because we need support. This is a big reason why a lot of people won't date or engage in intimacy with us, and it is entirely a falsity. kthxbye

Listening to Black Disabled creators talk about Tourettes Syndrome and tics over the last few days has me realizing that I fucked up when I said that I implied that John Davidson was inherently racist. There is so much more nuance to this conversation and Black Disabled people must be center in it.

Has it ever occurred to these geniuses that the customer experience becomes less pleasant when the workers are afraid to say the wrong thing because a computer might stop allowing them to have money?

So... does anyone care about this? That Michael B. Jordan's parents flew to London to see their son and they left the BAFTAs in tears? That he was repulsed? Still don't think an apology was owed? Some of you people are wretched fools.

I have been reading a lot of other people's thoughts on the BAFTA situation, and you know what I feel most: as a white disabled person, I don't need a hot take or something to say on the issue. Instead, I need to listen to how Black people feel about it, and not have a "take".

I get he has a condition and couldn’t help it but “I’m sorry if you were offended” puts the reaction as the problem and not the offense

“Psychologically, [Trump's] deteriorating. He’s getting worse. He’s dangerous. He’s a nut job. He’s a criminal. He’s a malicious human being who has no conscience, no morals, no remorse, no empathy. And he controls 5,000 nuclear weapons.”

me in my new power wheelchair at a fitting earlier today

I’m not getting into this again today, but the white man who yesterday yelled at me that I have no idea what it’s like to live with a condition for decades. You have no idea what it’s like to be Black and have that word hurled at you when you’re 5 years old and barely know what it means.

just because you're disabled, doesn't absolve you from racism. What happened at the BAFTAs requires a swift apology from John Davidson, and MBJ and Delroy Lindo deserve apologies from the BBC. Black people are not ableist for being anything but angry about this word being heckled on the world stage

I had someone on the apps tell me today they were sorry that I was disabled, and I had another guy ask me if "it worked" because he was "just curious". Dating (apps) while disabled is hard because you run up against the same ableism again and again, with no regard for your humanity at all.

i love this. support bibi
