this sums up the whole routine pretty effectively. this shit is as fresh and hip as Jeff Foxworthy with none of the aw-shucks charm.

Because Trump the Landlord became rich (so hes says) because he was such a softie about collecting people’s late rent?

I respect the HELL out of Dredd’s Karl Urban for sticking to the character and wearing the helmet for the whole movie. In the comics he doesn’t take it off. I hate the ego of actors.

You should see the shock on people’s faces when they find out that other countries have different sign language from America

i’ve had not one but two deaf friends given the emergency instructions in braille on flights.

Right after college, I worked as a PA for a college student - he had severe cerebral palsy and needed a chair. He was going for an Masters in Ed so we went on a lot of site visits and immersives. It was amazing how many teachers/admin would talk to me for/over him. I’ll completely admit that I fucked up at first. A…

He also goes by the name Machine Gun Kelly, ffs.

It’s almost a running gag for deaf people-

It’s more people shouting ‘you’re too fucking young to be in there, you can get out and walk’ that upsets me because if I could get out and walk I bloody would. It’s not serious enough to phone the cops, but its upsetting

I understand your reluctance to deal with this. But if you do need your wheelchair and this happens to you, call the cops if you don’t feel safe. “When a crime is motivated by a person’s physical, intellectual or psychiatric disability, it’s a hate crime.” (Southern Poverty Law Center)

I have this every time I use my wheelchair. I’m either completely ignored or because I’m young I get stared at and harrassed because Im ‘too young to need that.’It’s got so bad that I refuse to use it now and just fuck my body up more because I can’t deal with peoples nastiness

I’d ask how difficult it could possibly be to write code to indicate the type of disability but then I remembered: Airlines! They’d probably charge extra for accuracy if they could get away with it.

I sometimes travel by train, and I like how they do it. You can note that you need assistance and they have a small checklist that narrows down what type of assistance is needed.

It’s simply what they bring as policy when a passenger is marked as differently abled in the computer system’s code. There’s no sub code for what a person needs.

Yes, this was not the right way to report on what Pete is going through.

Yeah a friend of mine has the flip side of this problem. She has a joint problem, so by the end of the day she’s always in a lot of pain. But she looks like a perfectly healthy 25 year old, so people can be really rude to see her seated on public transit.

Machine Gun Kelly is 28 years old so he might not have a ton of experience with this kind of situation. I would also note that he didn’t call Pete or his mental health issues weird, he said it was a weird time for their group of friends...

Meanwhile, when my stepfather was dying of lymphoma, he frequently had trouble getting airports to provide a wheelchair.

We need to have a PSA mascot for Suicide like we have Smokey the bear, We could have Chokey the possum “Remember …. Only YOU can prevent suicide, I mean it I can’t stop you from committing suicide.”
