I'm like just coming up on ableist language & trying to rebuild my daily word choices to not include it - and holy fuck do alot of us do a terrible job.

Can someone whip up an ableist language bot that just points it out when we do a boo-boo?

No scolding, no shaming, - just a bot that points it out with a simple reply. Hell, "hey my ableism detector is going off" and have it rotate through with some loving positive messages.

I think alot of us would be surprised at how much we could grow in this department

    Alternatively: can someone point me to the resources to make my own bot for this purpose? I'd love to tackle it for our mutual benefit

      I think it would be good to also remind people of alternative adjectives for whatever word they’re using.
