As a disabled person myself, I wish like hell that those “poor overwhelmed caregiver” stories moved non-disabled people to think, “Hmm, maybe we should actually significantly improve access to good, supportive, accessible social services and healthcare so that caregivers to people with severe disabilities don’t get…

Also from my observations while living in Japan, people with disabilities are even more disenfranchised and invisible than they are in the west. You almost never see people with visible disabilities out in public. It’s sickening but not surprising that some twisted motherfucker might view the disabled as subhuman when…

Ah, what happens when ableism is left unchecked, and people regularly pontificate about the “burden” that some people are. Shit like this makes my autistic self shudder. How many people out there think I deserve a stabbing because I utilize social services?

I love that he thinks SHE’S the asshole in the situation. And the “fat ass” is just the cherry on top.

Jezebel underscores the level of badassness she possesses. She didn’t just hide in the bathroom armed with her iron. That iron had a plan! Here is what she intended to do with that iron from another interview:

“I never intended to to be a philosopher, or a theologian,” he wrote. “The only role I sought was that of witness.”

Before coming back, she discussed the fact that she was breastfeeding with the managers and would need to…

Way to stay relevant Minnie.

I’m still baffled by why they think I want a molded, heavily padded cup for my DDDs. Even if it was in any way comfortable (which, no), where are you supposed to store those? Am I supposed to have a bra room?

Well, none of us have, so how could he?

Came here to make sure someone said “Shiny”.

The struggle is real!

That was my first thought too. They’re punishing everyone, not just the chef. Not to mention, unless they told the restaurant that evening, they never gave the restaurant an opportunity to make amends for the chef’s idiocy before blasting them on social media. That’s not really fair either.

She's tired! Oh so tired!

Someone on the subway used to try to court me this way but I didn’t understand.
