imo the term "walkable" in "walkable cities" should be understood to mean "wheelchair accessible" as well, not just literally "possible to walk in". the act of walking in a city doesn't automatically make it walkable

Trying to explain to elderly people with medical issues and disabilities that doctors often don’t care about young people’s illnesses unless it’s life threatening and they just can’t comprehend it.

“You need to go to the doctor!” And then I have to have a half hour conversation on discrimination in the medical field and why no doctors that I’ve seen cares until I’m in a hospital bed with something easily fixable

If youre a closeted person somewhere out there thinking "I want to transition but it would be less progressive/unique/countercultural for me to be that gender instead of this one" please know that you are a real person not a character in a narrative and cant live your life based on what is good media representation. You are real you can only be yourself and theres no moral weight to any identity over another

Liberal transphobes enjoy positioning trans identities as regressive compared to cis queerness or like non-transitioning transness or anything else they can leverage to make transphobia look progressive and I think its easy to absorb that message subconciously. But in real life we just are what we are and no ranking of validity can change the fact that you have an identity that is NOT chosen and is just your unchangeable truth. Not only should you not have to live a life dictated by what is most countercultural to identify as or whatever but also: being trans is extremely countercultural and feminist and leftist to begin with and theyre only trying to convince you otherwise bc theyre bigots

"Why cant you be a feminine man society hates feminine men 🥺" and "all the butch lesbians are becoming men we need u 🥺" = stay in the closet for the noble purpose of being an abstract representation point in my new york times opinion column. You wont actually be a gnc cis person youll be a closeted trans person who uses the wrong words but I need you to do that because i hate you

The occupation authorities are renewing the implementation of the "voluntary migration plan" from the Gaza Strip. 🎒

Please help my friend Mahrah to support her family in Gaza. She and her elderly parents depend entirely on donations they collect for living expenses. Her family's campaign is vetted by @90-ghost and shared by fairuzfan. My wife @cannilyuncanny hosts the campaign and transfers donations directly to Mahrah.
