[3 different thumbnails given to you randomly. All have words in yellow text. One says "explaining ableist language" another has "intro to ableist language" and one says "what is ableist language?". They are all next to the disabled pride flag and on a digital art wooden background with a grey table in the bottom left corner]

Looks like Trump forgot to fire this DEI hire.

Good for him!

The indignity... (lemmy.sdf.org)

So it's finally happened.

I went to the sauna after my swim at the municipal swimming pool, and as always I was super careful because I don't have great balance and the floor is always slippery in there.

And... I slipped. I splattered myself all over the floor in front of 15 sweaty dudes in Adam's costume and hit my knee bad enough that I couldn't get up.

3 or 4 of them dudes got up to help and scraped me off the floor. No real harm done, but my ego is still bruised 6 hours later. I just wanted to vent a bit. Sorry...

So I was reading this article about Trump's crackdown on DEIA initiatives, and I must admit, I didn't know what the A stands for in that acronym. So I looked it up and and it's accessibility.

Which raises the question: doesn't killing accessibility programs violate the Americans with Disabilities Act? To my knowledge, the ADA is still very much in force.

Another possible angle to mete some justice to this depressing heartless man...
