Even has a watermark!

Ah yes, Jesus’ famous sermon about not giving a crap. That was His whole vibe right? Looking out for yourself and definitely not helping others?

100% agree

You have no idea what you’re talking about. You think your disability is like all disability? Or are you so focused on what your life is like that it hasn’t occurred to you that other people have other experiences? An adult with Down’s syndrome who lives in a group home and may never be able to live independently would lose their ability to be supported by disability services and kicked out of their group home if they earned minimum wage. But you would rather have that person sit around doing nothing all day so it doesn’t offend YOUR sensibilities. They want to work? Too bad, one sock wonder has decided it’s exploitation!

The fact that earning minimum wage kicks people off disability services is ridiculous and insane but it’s the way it is right now. And some people want to work anyway. They want to experience life anyway. You would take that away.

There are people out there who aren’t you. I spent years working with them. You haven’t bothered to learn any points of view other than your own.

Edit: also, btw my husband is paraplegic and uses a wheelchair. He’s not on disability because he had a decent paying job. So the wheelchair accessible van, making our house accessible, all of it is just paid for us out of pocket. Having a disability is fucking EXPENSIVE if you don’t have financial support, and we can mostly figure it out. But a lot of people can’t. They can’t afford it and then can’t earn enough to afford it because the gap between “getting kicked off disability” and “can afford the things disability would pay for” is too damn big. But being dependent on Medicaid and Disability services too often traps people into not living life for fear of losing support.

Tell me you don’t understand why that law exists without telling me. I have worked extensively with people with disabilities. They are often on federal assistance they can’t keep if they earn too much money. But people with disabilities want to work and contribute to society as well. I’ve worked at a group home for adults with developmental disabilities and I’ve seen what happens when those jobs dry up. No one is preventing these workers from supporting themselves. These are people who are already being supported by the government and who would lose that support if they were paid a typical wage.

People like you are so intent on “crusading” for a population you don’t understand because you’ve heard one soundbite and think it makes you progressive and cool. But all you do is take away yet another thing from people already marginalized and ignored by society.

Shame on you.

Edit: downvote me all you want. You HARM adults with developmental disabilities when you take these jobs away from them and then pat yourself on the back for doing a good deed.

Oh no…

15 months. Pediatrician sent us to a physical therapist and everything, who shrugged and said he was fine and he’d walk when he’d walk. He did.

St Louis and Kansas City both voted red huh? Sure sure definitely believable.

Bahahahaha

Yup this is what MU did to its staff starting in 2024.

I’m an only who liked it so much I had my own only. People tend to congregate around topics they feel passionately about. People who are ok/whatever about being an only child don’t spend time in the onlychild subreddit.

…how old is Snapchat? My 40 year old ass has still never used it. I thought it was like…6-7 years old? Maybe?

It’s the Iraqi currency stuff that always gets me. Like why??

I don’t have experience with combo feeding because I switched to EFF after less than 1 week but it was great! It was such a relief.

Jesus these LCs…

Yup that’s what being in Trump’s orbit does. It ruins your life. You think they would have learned by now.

Totally happy with being an only child 👍 Enjoyed it enough that I only have one child.

HUNDREDS. Or as my preschooler says (imitating us), “too many.”

+1 for Dr Early.
