I can be quite ruthless with actively removing people I've known, been friendly with for many years - when they eventually reveal that they were half-assed about having strong personal ethics/values/moral codes. I'm not someone who cares WTF you say. I'm someone who cares if WTF you say doesn't align with WTF you choose to do/not do. For me non-action is an active personal choice as much as visible action is a personal choice. I'm not someone who takes anyone's #antiableist words seriously, when they're regularly demonstrating #ableist crap.
Same goes for folks who call themselves #antifascist or #anticapitalist but are regularly engaging in fascist & capitalist boosting personal choices.

GTFO with that hypocrisy, with me. It's not tolerated. Not with folks I've known for decades. Certainly not with complete strangers either.
I'm not your shallow, weakass audience for that BS. I'm quite mean towards folks who are hypocrites, like described above. I am not hiding how I treat hypocrites like above described; I've been very public about it. I don't feel bad about being mean to wankerbutternoodles who try to troll me, knowing how public I am with my core values.

@rl_dane Not to delve too far into politics here, but the systems in which we live here in the #US are unquestionably #ableist, #unjust, and functioning as *intended*. Unfortunately.

I say this as someone who has non-apparent #disabilities and is a #disability #advocate. This is a #daily #struggle.

It has been a little bit since I posted this PSA, but it needs to be said again.

1) Some ppl's neurodivergence make it impossible for them to alt text.

2) Gatekeeping fedi by refusing to include them is ableist.

"But Dio how do we know they're ND?"

You don't. So treat everyone kindly. Assume good intent. And don't exclude anyone. If alt comes easy for u, offer to help instead of being ableist.

"But there are tools that they can use..."

It is not your place to try to force them to fit in.

@kimlockhartga We sure damn do. And I think you’re right that a lot of us know people who haven’t mentioned their chronic illnesses. Or we just go on in our #ableist ways pretending not to notice.

Oh, joy. I was told that saying I was a caregiver for my chronically ill girlfriend could mean that I wasn't available for work or to look for work.

Seriously? I cared for her the whole time I had a damn job.

Fuck. This. #Ableist. System.

@stephanie I think it's good to expose these #ableist #techbros & shine bigger lights on their #bigotry.

So I just discovered this app called #Clockout, and I’m quite disturbed. Like, it’s supposed to be #social #app for “smart”, #wealthy people. Like WTF? The world is already #elitist and #ableist enough, we don’t need this garbage…
