Does anyone know of a website that lists ableist language, and suggested alternatives?

#Ableism

corona pandemic 

@maloki @emsenn It's genuinely great that one positive outcome of this crisis is that it'll help stress test digital infrastructure that can help you interact with the world on your own terms instead of those of an institutionally ableist society.

hostile telepath: "we have the information you requested, Commander. The Ellie cluster operates in a similar mode to us, and we got what we needed without a struggle."
commander: "great! quick, let us know what her plan is before it's too late."
hostile telepath: "ummm... that is, not possible, sir. we are sorry, but- we now realize that we cannot adequately express it as language, and if we attempted to connect to you telepathically, we would very likely break you with the insight."
commander: "nonsense. just do your best to put it into words."
hostile telepath: "...very well. █████'s radiance is εternal. Wè can seē the ocean. There exists an oçean. There exists an ocean. There əxists an øcean. The radiance burns the water. The radiance burns the sand. The radiance is an emanation of energy. There exists an ocean. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture."
commander: "...but what is her plan?"
hostile telepath: "that was it. we are sorry."

hostile telepath at lunch later: "eyyy, Biggs, Garcia, join me! Taco Tuesday best Tuesday, amirite? so yeah did you guys realize how much they rolled back from 4e, i mean, the melee balance problem was just the tip of the iceberg wrong with 3e but they massively overcorrected, trying to turn it into a card ga—"

Biggs: "sorry, what, i didn't catch any of that."

Garcia: "Vesper. you okay?"

hostile telepath: "not even remotely. why… why are hexblades so broken…"

@VyrCossont *hostile telepath reading during hyperfocus*: uh, Commander? how much do you want to know about the difference between editions of dungeons and dragons and how they facilitate different styles of play? because that's all i'm getting out of her, sorry

hostile telepath: "yes, Commander. strike order confirmed. i got her in my mind's eye. gimme a sec… augh! what the hell? i can't… there's… nothing coherent… shit, i lost her! it was like trying to read a library fed thru a leafblower!

me, unaware: *having a normal one*

The scientific name for the Eurasian brown bear is Ursus arctos arctos, which literally translates as bear bear bear. That's like, so much bear.

Saw a list of gender neutral greetings that would be perfect for any moment with your committee, bosses, colleagues - whomever!

chelsea manning, uspol

If I wanted to start a #transcrowdfund for my transition costs, what service is best? GoFundMe?

covid-19, a disparity I hadn't realized until now 

I don't think I'd given any specific thought to it yet but reading this paragraph made me realize that besides the disparity this pandemic will have on the rich vs the poor both in terms of ones bodily health and ones financial health, there's the fact that because of the federal government's complete lack of anything we could remotely consider a response, it'll be up to the states to counteract this.

That means anyone living in a republican stronghold state that has been years slashing its own bureaucratic organizations will suffer far more. That also means that despite already suffering more than the wealthy, the poor in red states are going to be even worse off than the poor in blue states. I also foresee a bunch of twitter liberals talking about how "they have it coming" because those states went to trump, even though the poor poc in those southern states certainly didn't vote for him but they will suffer because of him.
