My rideshare driver was cutting up with me the whole ride home and I was in a chatty mood. Everything was great until he said “men are smarter because they invest their money if women would do that…”

I wait, the air heavy, taking up space.

He then breaks silence with “I love spaghetti.” 🤣🧐

This is why I remind anyone in the "time to buy a gun" crowd: the Second Amendment is not for you. American gun culture is not for you.

You are not in on the con.

The NRA siding with government tyranny over gun rights lands the same for me as the ADL coming to the defense of Elon Musk.

lmao fuck the NRA, phony little assholes
This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit.

It's all white supremacy and greed.

It’s hard to swallow that some conservatives in the US:

Love a protest in January; unless it’s protests they don’t like

Love the 2nd amendment; unless it’s someone they don’t like bearing arms

Love freedom; but will celebrate the state assassinations of US citizens using their 1st Amendment right

You’ve heard of girl dinner and boy dinner, now get ready for “nonbinary dinner” which for me is just having AuDHD, forgetting to eat most meals until I’m starving, then eating a snack buffet while an enormous amount of food arrives.

Or could just be buffet. Is there a vegetarian Golden Corral?

This makes a lot more sense wheb put like this. It’s also why it seems so ridiculous to millenials because we’ve never seen affordable housing.

The thing that’s getting me through this week is scrolling back in the house group chat and seeing all the messages about if the cats have been fed yet or the status of our wooden utensils in the sanding-oiling process.

All 84 are divs.

There's not enough good nonbinary jokes out there so I wrote one:

Anyone know of any good games or fun activities that I could use to train designers on using assistive tech? I was thinking like a web game where the commands are all keyboard, need to use the screenreader, etc

This is a de facto genocide of disabled Americans.
House Republicans just voted to gut Medicaid, which covers 1 in 5 Americans overall, including 41% of births and 63% of nursing home care.

They also just voted to gut SNAP, on which 41 million food insecure Americans rely.

This won’t just harm people. This will kill people.

They own this.

The sheer volume of headlines, lawsuits, and commentary surrounding accessibility overlays can be overwhelming to fully grasp.

We made a timeline to help anyone understand and share this rich and cursed saga in digital accessibility.
