A Disabled by Society graphic by Disabled by Society serving 12 narratives to unlearn about disability. The dark-themed design features colorful icons and text debunking common misconceptions: 1. "Disability is a tragedy" – A broken violin. 2. "Productivity defines worth" – A bar chart with an upward arrow and gears. 3. "Disabled people are a burden" – A person carrying a money bag labeled "Cost." 4. "Inclusion is optional" – A hand pressing a checkmark button. 5. "Disabled lives need fixing" – A person running with a wrench. 6. "Access is a privilege" – A stick figure inside a circle. 7. "All disability is visible" – A person in a wheelchair. 8. "Disability equals suffering" – A person holding their head with pain lines. 9. "We 'overcome' disability" – A person holding a flag on a mountain. 10. "Independence means success" – A hand holding a waving flag. 11. "Adjustments are special treatment" – A hand adjusting a scale. 12. "Disability is not normal" – A hand making an "OK" gesture with sparkles.
I’ve never seen it put so succinctly before! Even as a disabled person myself, I struggle a lot with internalized ableism.
These 12 all two common narratives about disability can be difficult to unlearn, but that work is important.

This administration illegally denied hundreds of people due process, then deported them to a country they’ve never known, run by an authoritarian infamous for cruel treatment of prisoners.
They then deceived a federal judge to buy time for the planes to land so he couldn’t do anything about it.

My version of Hot Ones: Moving to Austin to set up a podcast studio across the street from Joe Rogan’s to talk to the same guests for three MORE hours after Joe is done with them when they are truly exhausted and have absolutely no defenses left.

A pale woman with long flowing black hair frames her as she holds a skull with a kiss mark.
two characters hanging in the air with Shibari ropes as they kiss. They hang over the waters with clouds in the distance. They are covered in vines and brambles of roses and thorns.
A woman holds three girls in her hand and she cradles them with a gentle smile. She wears a dark gown and has a veil over her face. Her hair is done up in beads and a braided bun.
A monster with a femme torso and a crow body with 4 wings soars. There are panels of an eclipse, hands reaching out and a woman eating a blood red apple.

T-Rex: Hi everyone, there's too many songs about New York!
T-Rex: I'm serious.
T-Rex: There's way too many!
T-Rex: Like, it's JUST ONE CITY but it's hogging so many songs. I now understand that if I can make it there I'll make it anywhere, which - fine, SURE - but, that established, do we need FURTHER songs about the city?
T-Rex: ESPECIALLY when there are several cities with not a single song about them??
Utahraptor: You like cover music now, so just take existing songs and update 'em!
T-Rex: RIGHT!
T-Rex: I can take songs about New York and make them about ANYWHERE! So make way for "Quito State Of Mind", "No Sleep Till Lima", "Tehran, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down", "You Must Take The 2 Train (I Mean The Bloor / Danforth One In Toronto)" and "Theme From Harbin, China".
Narrator: LATER: T-REX'S SONGS FAIL IN THE MARKETPLACE, BUT FOR REASONS UNRELATED TO THEIR LYRICS (HE CAN'T SING):
you must take the 2 train / i mean the bloor-danforth one in toronto / since it's your only option / when you want to undergo east/west travel

Hello everyone! This is my first post on here after abandoning X at long last. I'm looking forward to finding a new creative community on here :) I'm sharing my favourite aerial embroidery landscape I've ever done for my first post here - 'A peaceful place (somewhere out there)' 💚

In honor of all the new arrivals, I'm sharing one of my favorite videos.
It shows 24 hours of Earth's rotation, with the camera locked to the sky instead of the ground. We're all hanging out on this spinning rock.
Brilliant work by Bartosz Wojczyński. 🧪

you MUST say "oh big stretch" when your beloved pet does a big stretch. it's the law

We killed a whole flu unintentionally just by masking.
Imagine what we could do if we tried.
Covid does not _need_ to circulate. We don’t really have reservoirs of it. It’s not inevitable. Even now.

how to crochet series part on: chains.
On the right is a half circle with crochet in it and on top of the crochet is a heart ornament with flowers on top.
Ok, for all you "I don't know how to crochet but I want to" folks, I have uploaded a series of short video tutorials to get you started. They are mostly around 2 mins long (the longest is 6 minutes). Take some of your own time back & be creative. Enjoy! 🧶

There is something thoroughly dead-souled about the idea of ordering art like you build your own spicy rice bowl at Tex-Mex place.
Just a basic misunderstanding of what art is supposed to do in the world, and your head and heart.

Doesn't get as much attention as what Elon's doing, but every day, a team of people at Google comes to work and asks themselves, "What can we do to make search a little worse?" And they're doing a very good job.
