One of the main ways I see abelism showing up in my life is people will refuse to absorb anything I explain about my disease and then act like any symptoms or things that happen as a result of the disease are character flaws, do other #pwME experience this?

It's wild to me that we are continuing to greenlight data centers knowing full well that the grid is not able to handle them, esspcially in states like California with documented grid reliability and safety issues.
Data centers for AI could nearly triple San Jose's energy use. Who foots the bill?
AI’s planned data-center boom is straining California’s grid forecasts and raising fears that customers could pay for upgrades if projects never materialize.

if you're that unhappy with your life, why is that? Who decided everything you "buy" is just some form of subscription? Who made sure that most of your salary goes to a landlord? Who made it mandatory to own a cell phone to exist?
Life is hard because a billionaire made it so.

"Poor people have iPhones" "Disabled people own nice looking cars" all essentially is: "I have a job I hate in order to have these things, and yet this person who society has taught me has less value than I do also has this thing.

it is MIRACULOUS that we got rid of lead paint and asbestos when we did. if we had tried that today, there would be people whining about how we're restricting their rights.

When I was diagnosed with MS 20 years ago, I did a deep dive into the literature to search for a potential cause.
The literature on vaccinations was, and remains, clear.
Vaccines are not associated with risk for MS.
Epstein-Barr Virus is. It sure would be nice to have a vaccine for that.

If they ask for extra time to turn in an assignment, it's not because they're using their time well and working really hard on completing the assignment. "Abusing accommodations" is a mythical bugaboo, a scarecrow in a potato field.
