Okay, not following people was the thing that I liked most about Imzy. Now following people is a thing there. https://www.imzy.com/imzy/post/you_can_now_follow_your_friends_on_imzy_j2rqo2hc

Today is very much not my day. *dramatic mews*

And THEN, The Blood Apocalypse was about 3 days early. /o\

I was kind of planning to swim in the lake but I don't actually trust menstrual cups THAT much.

I know I sound more like a dog than most cats, I'm sorry, but, water :3

So today I got misgendered by an algorithm and I kind of missed the avocado and cut myself in between the fingers BUT later I'll go check out some lake/pond/water thingie that I don't know yet and that is so exciting! Water is the best!!

Someone showed this way too cute video to me: http://sofias.soup.io/post/616761062/Video

it contains a pig and food and adorable noises.

Yeeees it makes the noise <3333

Until today I always thought they were birds that only looked a bit like bats, but now I'm pretty sure that they are, in fact, bats. 💜

Omg, cute bats are hunting insects in front of my window *-* Bats are the best <3

Kotlin sounds like weird food made from meat

Everything is very terrible, meows 🐈

And these few examples were all from the realm of neurodivergency, I didn't include examples of when physical disabilities are used as metaphors for bad things. Which is also very, very often, and not doing that needs to be one part of that very same process.

But if you don't actually mean to insult by drawing on ableist concepts and it's just the first word that came to your mind, then trying to find alternatives is a great process to start.

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.
