@missundaaztood it goes around corners and everything 🤨😲

it’s wild to me that hearing people can just voice to each other and understand everything

@bibicosplays Deafie reporting in. Hearing people are WILD. Ableism is everywhere :-/ and yeah, I was looking through that ad going... whut? It's super ambiguous. The real message that shd be front and center is in the smallest text...

Almost everytime I go out using a mobility aid. Someone harasses me in some way often asking me "what happened to me". When I don't answer them, they often get mad and some have threatened me. I don't owe anyone my private medical information.

Missouri lawmakers - the vast majority of whom are men - are asking teachers - the vast majority of whom are women - to shoot and kill school shooters - the vast majority of whom are students.

@NightDaily_ save yourself the clicks. it says nothing. and totally predictable: you start to hate ppl you're stuck with in close quarters. gah. <blocks>

@julie_bush born here, and i am incredibly salty about how septembers are now (this is when I get bit to oblivion if i forget repellent....arghhh). this seems like only the last... less than 10 years i think. UGH.

@brettachapman huh... is this where marvel's wakanda derives from? or just linguistic coincidence? very cool plates!

I like my little sister's personalized license plate with the Omaha-Ponca word Wak’ánda which translates to the Great Mystery or Creator. Very cool. Always important to show and support our Indigenous languages!

Women’s football is wonderful because it isn’t about being better than the men–it is about throwing out men as the metric.  To cut us down to size, patriarchy insists that men play, and women are just playthings. feministgiant.com/p/feminism-1-p… #SeAcabó

JUST NOW: After saying he'd accepted responsibility and sobbing for mercy in front of Judge Kelly — and receiving a 10-year downward variance — a smiling Dominic Pezzola raised his fist and shouted "Trump won!" as he was led out of the courtroom. wusa9.com/article/news/n…
