As someone who believes in empathy, kindness, and communication, I cannot condone gun violence.

However,,,,

[Picture ID: a meme including a photo of a fast food cup at a soda fountain, with someone pressing two buttons at once to pour two different sodas into the same cup. Over one of the soda brands reads the text “Violence, especially gun violence, is bad and creates more problems than it solves, and has no place in a humane and civilized society”. Over the other soda brand is text that reads “Billionaires fucking around and finding out is kinda funny”. End ID]

“Davis was under the impression his insurance company would pay out for any prosthetic, but sadly that was not the case.

The insurance company cited that because his palm was still functional, it didn’t think his fingers were 'medically necessary'.

It’s okay if your ambitions don’t lie in a career. We weren’t made to work.

anxiety, depression and/or being mentally and/or physically exhausted should always be a valid reason for any employee to take a day off without their paycheck being affected in any way, and also for any student to take a day off without their grade being affected in any way by the way

Labor, on its own, has no inherent value. The willingness or ability to labor does not translate to virtue. It can confer financial value, since everyone should be compensated for their labor, but it absolutely does not have inherent moral value.

Disabled people are not obligated to perform for you. They are not required, morally, to break themselves in order to earn some sort of personal value and prove their "worth" to society. They do not need to exhaust every possible means of survival to warrant aid, or spend the entirety of their existence pursuing the same amount of production as others even though it takes everything they have and leaves no room for anything else. They are not obligated to push their limits.

If that pisses you off because YOU have to work to the limit, or beyond, your problem is that you are not being paid enough or you are being asked to do the work of more than one person. Not that disabled people get help for "nothing".

You deserve better, too, you lovable dingus! Every single thing that benefits disabled people will benefit you and the ones you love, either immediately, or eventually. All of it!

Malcolm X famously said, “show me a capitalist and I’ll show you a bloodsucker.” That’s literally true for U.S. capitalism.

The United States exported $37 billion worth of blood last year, making it the country’s ninth-largest export. That’s $9 billion more than what Uncle Sam got from selling 48 million metric tons of soybeans. 

The Economist — an 181-year-old mouthpiece of the British and U.S. financial aristocracy — thinks that’s great and wants to increase the bloodsucking.
