    Elizabeth Warren: I have a plan for everything. America: Well, I didn't vote for you. Elizabeth Warren: Fu*k it, gonna have some fun dancin' on SNL for 5 minutes. America: Elizabeth Warren should stop dancing & save the country. Who does she think she is?

    Hi. Marriage equality doesn't exist until disabled people can marry without losing benefits, including vital access to healthcare.

    I'm just a regular autistic person sitting in bed begging TV & film production sound mixers to stop forcing me to adjust the volume every 30 seconds when stuff gets loud

    Trying to figure out how we got from, "N95s are necessary everywhere," to, "Absolutely no masks are allowed in this highly contagious indoor setting," in a matter of 4 weeks.

    Shout-out to the other neurodivergents who use parentheses too much (to add context to make sure nothing is misunderstood) (because parentheses clarify our directness) (I hope this tweet makes sense).

    I grew up autistic but I didn't know it until I was 32. When my guardians took me to potlucks, I knew my role: 1. Find the cat who was supposedly scared of strangers 2. Immediately become best friends with the cat 3. Not leave my new best friend until it was time to leave

    VP Harris: "I got COVID. I'm isolating & following CDC guidance." CDC: "You only have to isolate 5 days." VP: "I'll return to the White House when I test negative." CDC: "But we say you're fine after 5 days." The VP not ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜บ abiding CDC guidance says everything.

    Please stop saying people will begin caring when monkeypox hits retirement communities & daycares. Did you forget 2020?

    One time in a previous life I watched a family in an airport say, "Oh look, these [accessible] seats are open," & take them all. When 1 of them went to the bathroom, my weary disabled body took his seat, groaning on the way down, cane dropping. I will never be so brave.

    "During the COVID pandemic," is literally right now. Still. Today. Current tense. Happening.

    Disabled people will never forget how, "Don't worry, only old people & disabled people are dying," became the refrain of a mass disabling pandemic

    Mark my words. Burning Man (in a month) will be one of the most significant early superspreaders of Monkeypox. The consequences will be absolutely disastrous. On top of COVID.

    When I was glared at, I turned around in my seat & pointedly looked at the accessible sign & said, "Oh, are you disabled?" They very awkwardly, sheepishly left. I have experienced some of the worst ableism of my life at airports. Who knows if I'll ever fly again, though.

    A lot of you are disabled and you don't know it because society has brainwashed you with ableism.
