“landlords are bad because they don’t work” no. landlords are bad because they use the justice system and the police to render innocent people homeless. landlords are bad because they put barriers between living human beings and having shelter. landlords are bad because they hoard wealth and resources while their community suffers
enough with the ableist horseshit. nobody needs to work 40h a week to deserve to live

terfs celebrating that the international chess federation has banned trans women from competing in women's FIDE competitions, because it's sooooooo feminist to argue that women are so biologically inferior and nowhere near as smart as men and thus can't play chess on the same level. girl that's not feminism that's literally just misogyny
they'll lick any boot that stomps on trans women
psa adhd gang, people recreationally using or abusing stimulants is not why they're hard to get, they're hard to get because doctors can be absolute motherfuckers with egos the size of saturn who like to play god with people's lives. if they didn't have the "drug seeking behavior" line to use as a tool to be a dick, they'd just say "tsk tsk you're obviously wrong about your own symptoms" a little more often than they already do. peace and love on planet amphetamines.
and this gets me because. it's like there's a contingent of adhders who heard that we're predisposed to substance abuse issues and, rather than connecting the dots of "substance abuse is often a coping mechanism resorted to in the wake of insufficient care for a psychological disorder, stigma against addicts is one more link in the chain of systemic societal ableism," instead thought "drug users are dangerous and selfish people who are out to do harm to uniquely vulnerable people like me." for a while I put this mindset down to the lack of experience and time to process ideas that comes with youth; it still sucks, but the people I knew in middle school who had bad takes about drugs and alcohol no longer think that way now we're in college, and mostly they changed their minds on their own instead of needing me or someone else to call them out directly. but there are subsets of adhd communities who used these talking points when their average age was 15 in 2016 and are still using them now when their average age is 22. so maybe the hot new trend for 2023 should be interrogating the propaganda you've been fed about drug users for your whole life and considering whether these ideas hold up to compassionate scrutiny and who benefits if you believe them.
Sorry to add on but another reason it's such a pain in the ass to get ADHD meds, at least in the US, is because of them being a controlled substance, a classification that does absolutely nothing to actually stop people from abusing them and instead just exists to fill prisons and make the life of anyone who needs them for medical reasons a living hell. This is why decriminalizing drugs and abolishing the prison system is crucial to helping addicts AND patients as well as everyone else that our society is happy to leave to rot in miserable, unlivable conditions.

With all due disrespect anyone who thinks a full grown adult can survive off of 12$/hr in 2023 should die
or $914 a month or $685 a month per person if you're married, which is the MAXIMUM you can get in ssi if you're disabled

I made a better version.
I love it when I tell doctors that I'm a LARPer and an endurance hiker and one of the most frustrating things about chronic pain is how hard it is to go to the park and do my favorite physical activites, and they'll look at me like a dog that's just been shown a card trick and ask, "Have you tried exercising?"
Brother, you don't even know how bad I wish we could try exercising rn
Chronic illness patients: so I really like to do [physical activity] but it's gotten like, physically hard to do lately
Genius doctors: have you tried increasing your physical activity?
"I'm so fucking good at health."
me: like, i live downtown and it'd be nice to be able to take a short walk to the secondhand bookstore or that local pizza place i like, you know? i used to do that all the time but it hurts too much now
my GP: i'm gonna play devil's advocate here for a moment; if the medication isn't helping anymore, have you tried exercising?
me: [slowly consuming myself from the inside because did i not just say with my words that i used to walk around downtown and i haven't been able to anymore?]
flashback to when MLK Jr said the worst group in the US for black rights wasn't the lawmakers passing Jim Crow laws or the KKK but the white moderate. That it was the white moderate who was forcing the country to find a middle ground between civil rights and genocide which allowed the continued systematic mistreatment of the African American community

Yeah you're right. It WOULD be pretty fucked up if you were a swan but you were raised by ducks and you grew up never seeing another swan or even knowing that such a thing as a swan even existed so you just thought you were a duck with something super wrong with it.
If you needed another reason to delete the muskrat's birdapp
Supposedly it's based on "impressions" (a meaningless stat) but yeah it's basically just Musk paying his favorite Twitter bigots.
There’s also been a bit of a kerfuffle from some right wing accounts not getting paid nearly this much wondering where their money is, leading to some speculation that he literally just picked some favorite accounts to juice so more people would think it’s possible for them and buy a blue check
That sounds like wire fraud.
wow i missed painting shit on fabric and staring at it for hours in awe of my ability
