examples of ableist language
I mean, these are cosmetic changes that come from the idea that most people don't actually mean it that way. Just like with other changes of that nature, like avoiding calling people/things idiots, stupid, r*t*rded, schizophrenic (in the meaning of "contradictory" or whatever), crazy etc, if one's simply looking for a way to express an actual ableist sentiment behind it in less offensive words, that's still shitty.

Admittedly, German has an easier way out by simply using -feindlichkeit instead, but there are ways to do this differently in English as well.
Sadly my English is a bit shit and I don't have any idea which of the more often-propsed alternatives actually work well, but they're out there :)

Today is the day of seeing -phobia used for hate and discrimination, isn't it.
- it takes responsibility from the ppl doing the shitty thing (yes, _especially_ if you're going to argue "it's not referencing mental illness, it's like in 'hydrophobic'!" - oppression is not a force of nature) and misrepresents the mechanisms
- it's awkward to throw people with phobias in with all that
- it is often used to score easy points from more openly ableist beliefs, see "homophobia can be cured" etc.
Es gibt eine Seite namens "campinggate" und das ist nicht ironisch gemeint ^^
last boost for the cat! @maunzikation
Ich hab einen Campingplatz an einem See gefunden, wo es einen riesigen eingezäunten Hundeauslauf gibt und einen eingeäunten Hundestrand und Begrüßungleckerli bei der Anreise.
Das ist mal was Anderes als das "HUNDE VERBOTEN" oder "Hunde erlaubt aber es soll niemand merken, dass sie existieren und Hunde sind".
not at all interesting for cats

I want food but I have to make it first this is not fair. I am so tired.
I want pasta! now!

I am so tired.
yes, hide icecream behind a cw so that the cat has to search for it first ^^
Leipzig, hm?
Kaum ist der Regen von vorhin in der Sonne getrocknet, grummelt das nächste Gewitter. Wird wohl doch kein Garten-Buddel-Tag heute.

#FAQ:
Did your home timeline stop moving?
Did refresh not work?
Try these steps, if the first one doesn't work go down the line:
1 Force Refresh (ctrl+f5 on win/linux; cmd+shift+R on Mac)
2 Log out and back in again.
3 Clear cookies for the page, and log back in.
If none of these work, we may be having server hick-ups, contact your server admin. server-domain/about/more
They usually forget the second part of this quote by David Wheeler.
“Any problem in computer science can be solved with another layer of indirection. But that usually will create another problem.”

There. Coffee and sun, after one freezing night. https://witches.town/media/lAPZlbHAUtGJI__fCQo https://witches.town/media/olFjfyDs_fDX-6-GBoY
I see coffee in the sun in my very near future.
