Disability is a black hole of 'just off yourself already'
It's so depressing, isolating, and frustrating

YUUUUUULE

Anyone who thinks it’s possible to fake disability for fraudulent benefits has clearly never known anyone even obliquely who has had to interact with the systems involved. Driven by a false FEAR of fraud: labyrinthine friction and ridiculous obstacles, designed to get the user to give up.

What do you call a group that demands total freedom, but panics the moment anyone demands theirs?

It’s a purity cult. If they override you, it’s stability. If you assert yourself, it’s chaos. They want to control who has a voice.

#ForeverCanadian upset that order, so they want to change the law.

Infographic titled “Rape Culture” in the shape of a pyramid. The top section lists rape, drugging, molestation, stealthing and contraceptive sabotage. The middle includes victim blaming, coercion, threats, revenge porn, safe word violations, groping, non-consensual photos or videos, flashing, unsolicited nude pics, catcalling, unwanted non-sexual touch, stalking. The bottom includes sexist attitudes, rape jokes and locker room banter. Bottom text explains that tolerating behaviors at the base supports behaviors at the top and calls for speaking up to change the culture.

Rape culture doesn’t start at the top of the pyramid —
it starts with what we excuse, laugh off, and ignore.
If the bottom is tolerated, the top is inevitable. 🔥
