When abled people become temporarily disabled and heal again, most forget the #ableism they noticed.
When this high school student actually spoke up, at least partly because of a school project on accessibility, she got a taste of how fiercely systemic ableism trains us to defend it.
This doesn't suddenly get better in higher education - it often gets worse.
I don't get it. Why is it so important that we don't stim? Like, there are some that are contextually inappropriate (loud noises when it might disturb others, for instance), but outside of those few things ... what's the problem with hand flapping, body wiggling, hair twirling, vocalizing in repetitive ways when it's not distracting/disturbing, etc, etc, etc?
My grandparents and great grandparents scarcely touched their children. Posture and proper sitting and so on-- even just a lingering whiff of that culture is chilling and far more widespread than a lot of people may realize.
This is roughly how mainstream Israeli media whitewashes IDF’s war crimes. If you start with Hamas militants targeted, any atrocity that follows will be acceptable to the Israeli ear.
Haaretz: dozens dead in an Israeli strike at a camp; IDF: we attacked Hamas militants
Ynet: IDF eliminated senior Hamas commanders; Palestinians (claim): tents set a blaze (nothing to do with the attack on a densely populated refugee camp, presumably), 28 dead
Anyone else find their brain's particular quirks get in the way of creative processes?
Example: trying to compose a piece of music but you fixate on a single passage and cant stop playing with it like endlessly transposing it etc. and you get completely stuck at that point as a result? @actuallyautistic
For the Netayahu regime, the hostages are worth more dead than alive, since they being dead "proves" that "Hamas is bad", while they returning alive would mean that Israel no longer has any reason to continue their onslaught.
