    I can't work a 40-hour week since #LongCOVID took away most of my πŸ₯„s - depleting savings to pay bills since '22. While I love working for #SocialJustice, that doesn't pay the bills! Tip me a πŸ«– or buy one of my #Craftivism products to support the Work!

    How's about THIS for an amendment to the ADA - "For the purpose of all violent crimes, mobility aids, prosthetics, & other devices accommodating a disability shall be regarded as a part of the owner's body." Or whatever language would be necessary make this Assault & Battery 1.

    If you didn't do the job yourself, I'd respond, "If that's true, you're not doing any work on it until I call the police & my lawyer to document everything about this & I have a sworn legal statement from you for when I file criminal fraud charges on the other mechanic. ⬇️

    Using the words "reluctant consent" in a court of law aught to be enough to get you summarily disbarred. Or any other qualifier intended to justify or diminish a violation of consent. Saying yes because someone threatened, initiated, or escalated violence, is NOT consent at all.

    Now are you SURE about that, or do you want to have another look first?"

    Read this update from @TheWHN on the AIDS-like effects of #LongCOVID, in addition to vascular hazards to every organ in the body. Plenty of sources cited in there! whn.global/public-service…
    World Health Network
COVID causes new form of AIDS
While HIV normally takes 10-15 years to disable your immune system, CoV-AIDS has made patients vulnerable to β€œAIDS Defining Illnesses” less than 5 years after the first infections
Some have seen early effects only weeks after infection
Your defenses against infection do NOT grow stronger with repeat exposure like a muscle – they grow weaker as resources are depleted
Over 1 MILLION Americans are newly infected daily

    Correlation isn't causation. People whose joint pain goes away almost certainly have an easier time exercising, or at least moving more, & therefore have an easier time losing weight.

    Conspicuously absent: how many "sick days" expired, unused at the end of her OTHER 16 years, which the stockholders called, "More profit for us!"

    Because we all know Eminem is a HUGE supporter of the police </s> Yet he wasn't mentioned in any of these tweets, I wonder, what could be the difference between him & these other 2? πŸ€”

    "If the only way to stop you from oppressing us is violence, then we choose violence!" is essentially a summary of what they taught us were the reasons for the first American revolution.

    The whole ghosting without sending everyone who thought they were still in the running an email, "X position has been filled," has got to die. It can literally be that short, or add some flowery bullshit if that's your thing.

    Disability lawyers correct me if I'm wrong, @lyft sounds a lot like "Privately operated transit" covered by Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, & a disabled passenger is being denied safe access to their services. #ClassActionLawsuit time? ada.gov/topics/title-i…
    For example, as a business, you must:

Communicate with people with disabilities as effectively as you communicate with others.
Make reasonable modifications to policies, practices, and procedures where needed.
To make sure that a person with a disability can access the businesses’ goods or services.
