    It's just such a bummer, honestly. Ableism is like a real fucking thing that's an actual problem for lots of folks that goes way beyond just using slurs, but posts like this make it look like a joke. I wish there'd be a lot more focus on the material aspects of ableism and how they manifest in the real world to harm people and how they can be alleviated rather than Twitter rage nonsense.

      Yeah the amount of ableism out there is huge. From the way people stare at you for using mobility aids, to not being able to access public infrastructure/denied access, quality and cost of medical care, etc.
