Happens about 20mins after I wake up.

Random npc spongebob fish character looking miserable holding a cup during a sunset and another overlayed image of the same guy on the left with the same look.

When you already checked your usual 5 apps and don't know what else to do with your day:
I'm glad you're finding the info helpful and insightful.
I think with regards to use of language, this is another good read (E: also the understanding-disability link I attached earlier will will probably help with the "why" behind thinking "disabled" is a slur). It might be coming at this from a slightly different angle, but I think the point still stands - "politeness", "offence", "political correctness" these are terms most often used by the privileged to police the speech of and control marginalised people (aka "respectability politics"), rather than the other way around, but I might be digressing a little at this point lol..
I mean it's getting more academic for sure, but I think I get you - that's one of them there intersections you were talking about (neoliberalism x ableism, maybe (to name just 2 anyway)).
EDIT thank you, that was fire. A cogent and succinct breakdown of offense vis a vis harm.
I don't feel like I learned anything, because what I learned seems obvious (now), but if I think about my previous statements in this thread about rudeness they feel like they were made by someone else, so I guess this reading is doing something!
We're all learning, all of the time, being open to it just makes it more interesting!
I'm glad we've had this exchange, it's honestly been really refreshing.
