I released a video on ableist language today! My post about it got lost as I moved instances, so let me repeat it here uwu
My goal with videos isn't to cover everything, it is to be dense and get to the point as fast as possible
(I will put the alt-text for the embed in a comment)

Ableist language - a basic introduction
Rose βΆ π³οΈββ§οΈ (it/its)new short video on ableist language is out! Yippie!
[3 different thumbnails given to you randomly. All have words in yellow text. One says "explaining ableist language" another has "intro to ableist language" and one says "what is ableist language?". They are all next to the disabled pride flag and on a digital art wooden background with a grey table in the bottom left corner]

Ableist language - a basic introduction
Michal BryxΓ π±This topic is particularly interesting, because often times I need to express that (I) did something that was not thought through, smart, leading to positive outcomes. The word "dumb" genuinely did not seem problematic.
Yet here we are.
So far it seems like the word "dense" is my best bet to avoid #AbleistLanguage. Any better / other options?

David HarveyI like my Withings scales. However, it somehow stopped charging last night when I put it on charge, and the Vascular Age and Post Wave Velocity features have stopped working. However, I do not like when they referred to their upcoming feature on the upcoming body scan as Eyes Closed Mode. #AbleistLanguage #Ableism
Just listening to the latest #NewsHour #BBC #WorldService. #AbleistLanguage was just used when referring to the #Sudan #Conflict.
Good for strippers to call out their employer, iβm doing the same to #Newshub, #AbleistLanguage https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2023/04/stripper-calls-out-mps-for-using-sex-workers-then-turning-blind-eye-to-labour-trafficking-wage-theft.html
Amadi LovelaceAnother day, another leftist making good points that I will not share or amplify because their vocabulary is too poor for them to make a critique of something without resorting to pointless #AbleistLanguage.
#Stuff: Please correct this article. #Gambling is harmful, so is #AbleistLanguage. Pokie war: Govt will prosecute publicans who turn a blind eye to problem punters | Stuff.co.nz
Kavana RamaswamyIn searching for an instance to join, I noticed that many do not mention ableism in their ToC. I care about avoiding ableist language, so I picked one that did mention it.
I do notice quite a bit of ableist language in the larger fediverse, so decided to write a blog post of common objections to avoiding ableist language, and my responses to them.
Here it is: https://medium.com/@kavanaram/avoid-ableist-language-394f48fcc473
