This will tell you everything on my mind that I don't say. Have fun
Life goes on, be Strong
The idea that men are just inherently ~biologically~ more violent than women is bad for many different reasons but one of the biggest imo is that it really lets shitty men off the hook like. It’s not that men can’t help being sexist douchebags, no one is born that way. They are shaped by the sexist society we live in, and men are perfectly capable of unlearning those things and becoming better people. The “All men are violent sexist emotionally stunted beasts”line of thinking gives shitty men an excuse to be shitty yaknow it’s like. They can just blame it on their “biology” and ignore any sense of personal responsibility.
Most of the sex crimes and inappropriate behavior are committed by a tiny percentage of the population. The problem is, they do it over and over again, so it happens a lot.
Which is why we need to treat it way more seriously when they do get caught.
Please dont forget addicts when youre advocating for people with highly stigmatized mental illnesses. Addiction is a disorder and it deserves just as much visibility, acceptance and support as any other stigmatized mental illness.

Why isn’t using sign language more common in society? like??? Not even just communicating within deaf communities but for everybody to use with anybody?
I feel like this should be standard learning material for those working in loud workplaces or with machinery, or maybe idk for talking underwater or when someone else can’t hear you at a concert. Or what about when somebody is having a panic attack and can’t talk, or just isn’t all that comfortable with voicing their feelings?
Why isn’t nonverbal communication more integrated into our society? Cause it should be.
Especially for those of us who love to eat but don’t love to talk with a full mouth

being an adult and buying your own shit is so weird i don’t understand why anything is priced the way it is. why did my tattoo cost 8 toothpastes? why does a pair of socks cost a sandwich but a fancy dinner costs a whole jacket? why is book the same cost as 2 bag frozen vegetables? nothing makes sense i just wanna steal.

when you’re disabled, your entire life is a trade-off; every decision is a cost-benefit analysis where the cost is a body in pain, and the benefit is participation in society.

Shout out to disabled people who don’t, can’t, or shouldn’t drive. You are not a burden, and even if you technically “"could”“ drive you are not obligated to if it would be unsafe for you or others
Not being able to drive can be an inconvenience, but it is not a moral or personal failing. If anything, the failing is on behalf of society for not having better and more convenient public transportation for everyone

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again but it is absolutely an example of civilizational inadequacy that only deaf people know ASL
“oh we shouldn’t teach children this language, it will only come in handy if they [checks notes] ever have to talk in a situation where it’s noisy or they need to be quiet”
My mom learned it because she figured she’ll go deaf when she gets old
My family went holiday SCUBA diving once, and a couple of Deaf guys were in the group. I was really little and I spent most of the briefing overcome with the realization that while the rest of us were going to have regulators in our mouths and be underwater fairly soon, they were going to be able to do all the same stuff and keep talking.
The only reason some form of sign language is not a standard skill is ableism, as far as I can tell.
For anyone interested in learning, Bill Vicars has full lessons of ASL on youtube that were used in my college level classes.

The Bill Vicars videos are really good!!!
