Daniel Lawson @DanielLaw1998: Disabled parking should only be valid during business hours 9 to 5, Monday to Friday. I cannot see any reason why people with genuine disabilities would be out beyond these times. Jennifer Lee Rosman @JenLRossman: We’re disabled, Daniel, we’re not werewolves

7 years later and I still whisper, “We’re disabled, Daniel, not werewolves” to myself like a sacred mantra whenever I see a non-disabled person discover ableism like it’s the latest hipster indie band.

internet literacy is so so so much more important than ppl think.

just now I saw a person asking about the "real game" behind a fake game ad bc the "artwork" was beautiful but it was clearly AI.

and this is mostly harmless, but it goes to show how vulnerable to bad faith actors ppl online are.
