How embarrassing to live in a country where calling for a ceasefire has become a radical act. A ceasefire. This is how far the center has moved to the right. All this country knows is war. The violence never ends.

"She can't get inside the building because of her wheelchair."
No. She can't get inside because the building is not accessible. The building has a barrier that does not let her in. The wheelchair is not the problem; the building's lack of access is the problem.
Words matter.

“Wanting the pandemic to be over” is constantly framed as being the same as wanting to relax Covid protocols. The people advocating for greater protocols & global vaccine distribution are the ones who actually want this thing to end by doing things that will actually end it.

hi, are you doomscrolling? Our bodies were not designed to be this anxious and stressed for so long. How about going to sleep early tonight? You still deserve time to rest and recover.

The most misunderstood thing about those of us who are always considered “alarmist” is that we don’t want to be right. We want to warn people in the hopes a different direction is taken.

It’s not underrepresented. It is systemically excluded. It is institutionally oppressed. Accountability starts with language.
