Random Old Memes and ✨Stuff✨

Got sick of bigots, and pedants, and trying to figure out if something is “meme enough” to count, and of feeling like I’m spamming other spaces, and very quickly of the lemmy UI too (still love you blahaj.zone!) so am opening my own space where I can make my own rules and post my collection in peace. ❗BE WARNED: SOME OF THE IMAGES YOU SEE HERE MAY NOT TECHNICALLY BE MEMES❗ Now that we got that out of the way, let the infodump commence! Expect a mix of slightly outdated: mostly leftist (but never tankie) content, many cats, and some general old memes I’ve collected over the years. There are many, so will try to mix it up! Update: looks like 🐝Beehaw🐝 have banned this magazine. If you want real leftism rather than "nice" (more like "unchallenging to the status quo and the comfort of libs") leftism, I guess you'll have to follow from elsewhere!

Someone autistic or photosensitive would do fine as a medieval peasant yet face obstacles in modern society - but physical disabilities still represent stuff you cannot do. Having one leg is bad, actually. Yes, we should accommodate the inevitable individuals suffering that malady, but it is still a malady. As surely as any disease or injury. An inability to walk is not like being taller than doorways expect or shorter than barstools anticipate. You absolutely have a problem. Expecting an advanced civilization to minimize that problem's impact is entirely reasonable and morally necessary. It is nonetheless a problem, to be minimized.

People didn't invent hills just to fuck with you. The spectrum of human existence includes people who have it fucking rough. Society did not somehow cause all the cases it can fix.

I provided links so people could educate themselves, I guess some can't help but broadcast their wilful ignorance..

My guy. We can rail against any civilization that doesn't accommodate people with normal problems, and still acknowledge we are accommodating... problems.

Providing assistance and support doesn't require pretending it's not help. Some folks need a lot of help. That's fine. But skip the pointless word games. The very name dis-ability is crystal clear about describing the lack of an ability.

Some problems, we'd just fix, if we could. Autism: no. Photosensitive epilepsy: Jesus fucking Christ, yes.

Nope, pretty sure it's a physiological fault
