This is an interesting and useful looking approach to a pain scale! janemorris.tumblr.com/post/6…

People use wheelchairs for independent mobility. Do not write "confined to a wheelchair" or "wheelchair-bound." Say a person uses a wheelchair only if relevant to the story.

Neighbor to me, a wheelchair user:”I don’t like the word disabled. It’s too negative.
What do you call yourself?”
Me:”Disabled.”
Neighbor:”You’re not disabled. I refuse to use that word.”
Nondisabled people don’t get a vote on what disabled people choose to call ourselves.

Don't use words that suggest pity, such as afflicted with, battling or suffers from any disability or illness, or that a person overcame her disability.
Instead: living with dementia, has cancer, being treated for ADHD, etc.

Going back to normal is not positive for most of us. Disabled people will have to go back and fight for those same accommodations that was easily given last year to abled bodied people. Mostly will get denied.

Reminder that disabled people are not included in most building evacuation plans. I'm glad that there was one exception to that rule this time -- but it is the exception. Most of us aren't US Senators?

fat acceptance has never been abt "promoting an unhealthy lifestyle" its about treating people with respect no matter what they look like and what their health is like bc a fat persons health is none of your business and it does not justify you treating them like theyre not human

The correct term is sexual orientation. "Sexual preference" is a term often used by anti-LGBTQ activists to imply that sexual orientation is a choice.

I applaud Landon Donovan and his team the San Diego Loyal for taking a stand— Homophobia & racism have no place in sport. Rick Schantz and his club the Phoenix Rising should be embarrassed for their behavior.
So @SnorelaxSleep your new text msg notifications for shipping could use time awareness. I didn’t really care that anti-snore strips shipped at 6:00 AM when I was *sleeping*. I use your products to sleep not to be woke up by useless notifications.
Wonderful show by @MichelleObama and @jimmykimmel tonight at the Tacoma Dome. Very thoughtful, enlightening and funny comments made by both of them.
Trying to attend @MichelleObama event in Tacoma tonight. Stuck outside waiting to get in instead. Amazed that audience has self created “Disney-lines” without any posts to control it. Sucks I showed up early and paid over $500 to stand outside with thousands of other people!!!!

Apparently this cover of Parents Magazine featuring an adorable family that happens to have two dads outages 1 Million Moms (I think there’s only really like 1,386 of them) and millions of other conservatives. It would be a shame if we shared it far and wide! #lgbtq

What Pres. Trump doesn't understand (or acknowledge) is journalists didn't ask previous presidents if they were agents for hostile foreign powers because it was never a question anyone thought to ask. The disgrace lies not in the query but in the plausibility of the premise.
