hey does anyone know what this is?? it's on my ankle.

and also, yes obviously, the internet is the best place for medical advice. I know.

american billionaires have collectively gained nearly half a trillion dollars during this pandemic but yeah man the people rummaging through a target are the looters I should care about for sure

Secondly... She's hiding behind her anti-ableist identity to insulate herself from learning the fact that she is being wildly ableist. She is so convinced she is Right, that she cannot imagine being wrong, *especially* wrong in the sense of problematic. This is both an issue of epistemic arrogance, and one of always needing to be perfectly unproblematic.

I think it'd be better if we acknowledged that everyone's problematic sometimes, and work on that together, with love. 3/3

First off, she's blocking everyone who points out how wildly idiotic this is. Although I think blocking is great fun, the way leftists tend to use the block button generously does kind of insulate a person from ever getting new views on things. It's so acceptable nowadays that you just block those with the Wrong View, because you are Absolutely Right.
I feel like we have an epistemic arrogance problem in leftist circles. Can't we accept that, maybe, we're wrong?

Okay, so an anti-racist, anti-ableist, anti-whatever just posted this on Twitter: "Every day I am confronted with the fact that many people have no clue how an extremely gifted brain works. Sometimes you guys talk to me like my IQ is just 120 or something. It's so tiring." https://twitter.com/Marrit_Anne/status/1265953874176860161

I kid you fucking not. She's serious.
Of course we're all making fun of the absurd and ableist statement. But I do have my worries.

Repost from my Twitter:
I know evil plans by evil people are scary, but we probably shouldn't be spreading those plans around; it can make them gain traction and more importantly, it only reaffirms that we are, in fact, afraid of the evil people.

I won't put my profile on private.

Those who came before me didn't hurl rocks at cops for me to be afraid of some online incels. And I get if the situation scares you. That's alright. But please don't go fearmongering.

For those interested: I started listening, and so far it's pretty good.
i get to review the new protest the hero album...... hmm
