Gods I love modern medicine. I have been weirdly wound up all day, an hour ago I'd have said I was fixing to have a 'I didn't sleep last night' day, but I took my usual sleepy time combo (scrip&otc) and now I feel like I can sleep. And maybe a good night's sleep will reboot my brain.

Genocide is a policy carried out by the hands of many, tolerated by many more.
Even before the current regime, this agency has "lost" thousands of children in their custody. It's an institution of atrocity, it was never ok.

I was just saying to my wife: all those people who got suuuuuuuper snooty when he came down the escalator and said Mexico was sending “rapists, murderers” - “it’s not racist actually. he said ‘presumably some of them are good people,’ so it’s not racist” - those people need to publicly apologize

I think a lot of people don't realize how difficult it is to get accommodations for disability. in school, at work. there are invariably tons of hoops; it's slow. often it's humiliating.

The best way to navigate this is to BUILD AN ACCESSIBLE WORLD. This kills me, and in many/most situations isn't that hard, it shifts the burden of effort where it belongs (on institutions, away from people), and THERE IS NOT CHEATING.

Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

CDC estimates 28.7% of adults have a disability. Obviously this increases with age, but the article's claim that it is like... 5% of the population is unfounded.
Broadly speaking, most DSS offices work with 10-15% of the student population. Can increase/decrease in some contexts of course.
