Right I know that’s why I asked. Because if they were conflating mayo and aioli then they weren’t actually eating mayo.

Those videos look like kids caught by the principal and just lying and we're acting like they're dumb. They're just lying. I swear we're so willing to allow this babe in the woods shit because it's easier and more comfortable than facing the reality of what this all is

It’s always so weird to me that people are so pushy about wanting people to like foods they like. Just….let people not like things. Taste and texture differences aren’t mental! And also who cares??

At the beginning of the pandemic some disabled people felt hope.

We saw inclusion and accessibility improve overnight.

We saw accommodations put in place that we had spent years begging for.

We saw the world adapt.

That hope was ripped away during the rush back to normal.

It still hurts.

Meghan Markle visited a children’s hospital and wore a mask!

I can’t explain how big a deal this is for vulnerable people who’ve spent the last 6 years begging people to mask up to protect us.

This is visible ally ship.

This is community care.

This is leading by example.

The rise of online vibrant events in early Covid offered a lot of hope for disabled/chronically ill people who have access issues attending IRL events (including going into a flare later). Anti-Zoom reactive sentiment pushed a lot of people into being more isolated again.

Grandma jailed after AI error linked her to crime in state she never visited: lawyer The charges were later dismissed after bank records showed she was in Tennessee at the time

If only a college professor could condescendingly yell at her that AI is useful, I bet she’d feel so much better about all this

Such reactive anti-Zoom sentiment hurt so many disabled and chronically ill people, and made us so much more alone.
