We need to excise the words from or vocabularies, think what we really think, and use or invent better vocabulary. #Ableism #Bigotry

To clarify: I think you can insult and use strong language. It's bigotry ingrained in our insults that I'm speaking of.

It requires a mindfulness I’m working hard to internalize, but there are many people who just don’t seem to have gotten the memo. Some because in the end they just don’t really care who they hurt, but others because they literally just haven’t heard the message. For the second group callouts can be helpful for anyone with the time and energy to do it.
