Anything they want, hide it or mislabel it. Anything they plug in, unplug it. Remove light bulbs. Move cubicles around so they hide some of the doors and when they leave the room move them again so they hide different doors. Play really loud music. Think like a cat and sabo tabby yourself a mess

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Click on this and read it. It is a fantastic post.

So true. 💯

My neck hurts just looking at her.

STOP the* "ALT-RIGHT"" * WE BEAT 'EM BEFORE * WE'LL BEAT 'EM NOW *

When we talk about the not-see holocaust (do they shadow ban on this site? I don't know yet...) we don't talk often about all the people with disabilities that didn't "meet the standards" of their ideals to mortal ends.

Just a Monday's musings of a loving mom...

These concerns supersede simple differences of opinion. These are fears grounded in history about the end results of a fascist regime.

How do you go on as if nothing happened when people who claim to love you care so little about your children's lives?

If we, for instance, were to lose insurance for children with disabilities (medicaid), we and many, many other families would no longer be able to feed our children, who are g-tube dependent. They can both eat a little, but not enough to sustain themselves. They would slowly starve to death.

Not gonna lie, I'm having a really hard time deciding if I will maintain any relationship with Americans who voted for that orange buffoon. I'm trying to prepare for the eventualities that his cabinet could precipitate.

Those of us gifted with big brains, let's put them to work and come up with some better comparative terminology to describe bigots, science deniers, etc.

We need to stop using terms that mean "people of low intelligence" (idiot, moron, etc.).to describe people who are bigoted, willfully ignorant, science deniers, etc. Low intelligence is not equal to hateful. Some of the most loving, accepting people are people that are intellectually disabled.

I wish that "moron" (literal meaning a person of low intelligence) want used to describe people that have hateful worldviews. My two kids (down syndrome and high needs autism) have low intelligence and are amazing people. They are loving, funny, and good. They shouldn't be compared like this.

Post from Latino pollster Mike Madrid: “Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s. Over half of those deported were US citizens.”

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

Lol pretty much anything not metal. Lots of EDM, dubstep, jazz, blues, girl rock (verging into metal), classical, world music, music by queer artists, showtunes... and more. My nervous system just can't deal with metal.

There can be poetry in the universe

Cicero was a very wise man

I feel mislead by all dystopian literature. It's supposed to be a powerful authoritarian government that lords over a cowering population, and and we just need need a few brave acts of heroism to give the people the courage to rise up.

Instead it's just half the country being dumb and mean.

What will be the actual end of American life as we've known it? Climate change? Nuclear War? AI robots that destroy humanity? More than one of these simultaneously?? So many morose possibilities...

For a sensible guide for preparing for the unexpected, I recommend A Field Guide to the Apocalypse.
