Oh also, regarding @ryanmurphyprod and #Dahmer, I just saw a tiktok of some stunned black folk after a yt gay man came up to the black guy they were with and said “you look dahmer-able. I think you’d look good in my freezer.”

Imagine making that show and not even understanding
What you’ve unleashed on Black and Brown people because you saw silence from the families as consent.
Found it:
Caption reads: Tell me why I'm in downtown Clemson and this white guy just walked up to this black guy I'm standing next to and told him that he « looks
dahmerable" and that he would look good in his fridge..... this is what I'm talking about bro... killed the mood fr

The Supreme Court could scuttle the little progress we’ve made with disability rights.

People keep saying that disabled people should vote for progress, but fail to realize that things have gotten considerably worse for us during the pandemic.

You all are killing us and are outright hostile because we continue to exist despite your best efforts.
Services were cut off during the pandemic and disabled people struggle to get supports. Our services have never been fully funded and that led to our deaths during the pandemic.

We are in the midst of a direct care worker funding crisis and it’s going to kill many of us.
We have been shunned from society because you want to “move on.” And now with the CDC dropping mask recommendations for nursing homes and medical facilities to mask, many of us will be cut off from our healthcare as well.

And not only do you not care,

I saw the first episode of this season’s #AbbottElementary and I was crying bc I had a Ms. Howard too.

When I was in elementary school, my first Black teacher was my 4th grade educator Ms. Crutchfield. I loved her, she felt like family.

I was the only physically disabled kid
In Class. I use crutches and in class, figuring out where to put them was a bit of a mess. They needed to be in reach so I would put them on the floor or try to lean them against something, but they would wind up tripping either the other kids or Ms Crutchfield.
It was a constant dance of figuring out where they should be, until one day, I walked into class and there were broom clips nailed into the side of my desk.

Over the weekend, she had had her husband come in and install them and they helped affix my crutches parallel

You’re going to lose more rights!

Disabled people who largely do not have marriage equality, tenuous reproductive rights even under roe, who legally can be paid under the minimum wage in 30+ states, who can have all autonomy stripped of them under conservatorship,
For whom hate crimes are on the rise, who cannot access healthcare or even life itself because of masking policies, who are more likely to suffer and die from climate catastrophes, who are most likely to be left behind in emergencies, who are more likely to experience relational
Violence, who account for a large swath of victims of police violence, who are restrained in schools —sometimes to death, who are fed bleach and electrocuted to “cure” us, who spend thousands more to have the same quality of life, who are told to unalive ourselves because we

The fact of the matter is, I have spoken very plainly about the things disabled people need to vote for years—both before and during the pandemic.

And not just me, disability advocates have been trying to get you to advocate for our accessibility for decades.

But no.
And now the choice is life or death and you all still don’t get it.

You know exactly what to do, you just don’t want to do it, it’s too hard, vote first and then we’ll get to the things you WANT.

I want my fucking life.

Do you even know the issues facing disabled people
It doesn’t begin and end with the pandemic although it has made things way worse for us.

All you do it tell us to risk death or k*ll ourselves for you and only then will you move on the things we need.

What are those things? Can you name them? Or were you too busy advocating

Like, Libs seem to think I’m pulling this out of my ass:

apnews.com/article/voting…
Like I’ve been telling you all for years now, these voter restrictions being proposed, signed into law and challenged in court are going to discourage disabled people from voting due to the confusion alone:

Like… the right to vote has always been difficult to exercise for disabled people and we’ve told you that if you don’t pay attention to disabled peoples needs, it would make problems for you.
