I tried to get a picture but my cat jumped into the frame absolutely serving cunt and I can't compete with that so I gave up.

Its not that using ableist language is "offensive" alone, it is in that using ableist epithets, we normalize the idea that disability is a state of undesirable, laughable inferiority and otherness, and that disabled people deserve to the butt of the joke for some intrinsic reason--its insidious

In fact, there's no reason why costs--period.
Inaccessibility is what makes accommodations necessary in the first place.
Someone tried to explain "undue hardship" on my post about the absurdity of gatekeeping accommodations, so here's my hot take: undue hardship is manufactured scarcity for the purposes of justifying disability exclusion.

FURIOUS.
13.03.2025 03:03 — 👍 33 🔁 2 💬 6 📌 0I'm moving this weekend to an actually wheelchair accessible apartment, which is great -- but my cat is furious with me. His space has been upended, I've sold some of his favourite furniture because it won't fit, and there are boxes everywhere but they're all taped shut.
