ID: a circular cycle around the wheelchair disability symbol.
the cycle is labeled “The Inaccessibility Cycle”
the steps are inaccessibility ➡️
disabled people unable to participate ➡️
disabled people not visible in public ➡️
disabled people seen as outlier/rarity ➡️
‘so there’s little/no need to consider them’ ➡️
and the final arrow leads back to inaccessibility, creating an endless loop
This is a very well described explanation of both why visibility is a key factor in fighting inaccessibility and also why it is so hard to achieve
Why is why so many demonstrations by disability activists are so "go hard or go home" because it's like... yes those are currently the options thats the point!

This tweet is just... Odd. Very odd.
Like... You live like this? You write like this? You think like this??
I want to be absolutely clear that, when I write an alcoholic character, it's because I think that alcohol addiction and drinking to excess are cool. Just like when I write a criminal, I'm trying to persuade you, the reader, to take up a life of larceny and murder. Just so long as that's understood.
Oh good, because that's 100% the message I take from fictional media. For instance, I watched Hannibal for recipes and relationship advice.
honestly it was a red flag when bbc sherlock went “well obviously the word written in blood isn’t the german word for revenge, it’s clearly the beginning of the name ‘rachel’, what absolute idiot would fail to see that” when in the original novel it is, in fact, the german word for revenge, which sherlock points out gleefully to a roomful of policemen who all figure it’s the beginning of the name ‘rachel.’
and by red flag I mean it was a clear sign that the adaptation was trying to one-up the source material, instead of engaging with it with love.

It’s because if we build trains like those commies in Europe (or invest in any public transportation infrastructure) it means The Poors might be able to get around easily and save money and shit commuting to their three jobs. Next thing you know, they’ll be invading your gated community and fucking up your golf course, and we can’t have that! 😱
I know where your coming from, but the US does have a rail network that connects one end to the other, you can get from LA to Boston, it as just not fast and requires transfers, just like a Lisbon to Moscow trip would. But yeah that's proof that the "America is too big for trains" argument is complete bullshit.also yeah building a rail network that is large and accessible would help the poorest members of society, so we should do it, now
also we used to have FAR more trains in the US. this map is from 1901:
