THREAD 📌#Paralympics

So I just read this awful piece and was reminded that some #disabled folks are not interested in making the world more equitable for all of us. Roy Perkins has decided that Becca Meyers just isn't that #disabled. Wrong.

According to Perkins, who is a swimmer, not a doctor, and not blind nor Deaf, Meyers isn't THAT blind or THAT Deaf and thus doesn't need a personal care assistant like she has always had before. The IOC has restricted them due to COVID, which penalizes some disabled athletes.
2/
Perkins' argument is an ableist one: if other #disabled people have suffered in silence before, why can't Meyers? And, Perkins asserts, others are more #disabled than Meyers. This is the kind of terrible #ableism that has restricted the lives of #disabled people for centuries.

One of the worst things about paralysis is not being able to get things that you want when you want them. And having to remember everything you wanted in advance before your spouse leaves the house for hours.
When I was getting the half-assed, slip-shod physical therapy at the hospital after I was paralyzed (no concommitant mental health help, either) and before they sent me home to....nothing on a holiday weekend, they told me to learn to make lists of everything I'd need.
You can't always predict what you will want five hours in advance. Also, not having physical therapy since the pandemic began has wreaked havoc on me. I am so decompensated. I honestly thought the lockdown would mean some effort to fix what was broken for #disabled people. Wrong.

Erasing women of color is a constant. VP Harris is Black and Southeast Asian and hosted the event. Tammy Duckworth and Mazie Hirono are both Asian. Catherine Cortez-Masto is Latina. Want more WOC senators? Elect them. Start with Val Demings.
Also, Gov. Newsom had the opportunity to maintain some small measure of racial and gender balance in the Senate by appointing a Black woman to replace VP Harris. He chose a Latinx man, Alex Padilla, instead--a move strongly criticized by Black women activists and many others.
This woman, Tina Flournoy, ID'd as a "servant" by @NewGrenada1979 (who also wrongly attributes the photos to a rando seeking clicks instead of the senator who took them) is MVP's Chief of Staff. YOU seeing prominent WOC as white or servants is a you problem, not an MVP problem. Image

So Twitter analytics informs me my new work schedule is screwing with my readership on here. I really do miss interacting with folks on here, but I'm trying to finish a book and I still have an arduous day job plus my health is awful. Envious some folks can create this balance.
Plus, I just miss the socializing on here. It's like that bar you go to after work to hang out and decompress and have fun, even if you don't drink. The one it's hard to leave. Which is the conundrum, of course. Time is so limited.
So Summer Brennan does this thing every day where she sets a 30min timer to start working on her book and invites others to join in, then pops back. It's a great system, but I can't do that. The nuns told me I had no discipline. It was the only assessment of me that was accurate.

"I was cancelled by the wokesters!" yells racist, Islamophobic, homophobic, transphobic BNP-esque harridan from a self-serving TWO PAGE spread in a major newspaper. If cancel culture were real or reliable, Burchill would have been gone years ago.

Thread↘️
Sadly, some of us are old enough to remember back when Burchill was writing seriously about classism. But that was forever ago. Her more recent history is appalling and shameful. Stop giving her a platform to make excuses ("I was drunk").
And Julie Burchill's "George Floyd joke" (put THOSE words together) was both an attack on Meghan Markle AND a dismissal of the gruesome torture murder of George Floyd. Her assault on Ash Sarkar was actionable. Yet she's still at it. Disgraceful, shameful behavior.

This thread v the comments from three mainstream non-zealot conservative writer/editors. The pushback to CRT posits that we mustn't tell the truth about history because WHITE people will feel bad. But BLACK people have "felt bad" for 400+ years. Righting wrongs is painful.
Slavery was terrible. There is no way around that fact. We're told fictional versions like that Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson were a great love story when she was a woman who was kept in slavery. Jefferson didn't set her free and marry her and move her into his house.
These relentless tales of happy slaves are not the truth. And on the eve of #Juneteenth, Nikole Hannah-Jones was cheated of a position because men like the ones in the QT here made sure of it: Her history threatens their supremacy. Support CRT: It's TRUE history.
