i just saw someone describe a disabled person as "someone with beautiful abilities" i cannot do this anymore

god can we stop softening the term "disabled". disabled isn't a dirty word. it's not "special abilities" or "differently abled" or whatever the fuck you want to call it. people have disabilities that cause life to be hard and there's nothing wrong with acknowledging that?? it feels so invalidating when people are like "ohh you're not disabled!!! you have special abilities!!" like. omg a) it feels so infantilizing. b) by saying that you're basically saying our struggles aren't real...? some conditions are disabling. it's not hard to understand?? like there is NOTHING wrong with being disabled & using the word disabled. it's not offensive it's not a dirty word can we take the shame out of it pls oh my god. this goes for physical & non physical disabilities btw

LMAO not Israel calling for an emergancy UN meeting, when they have done NOTHING but shit on the UN and their resolutions the entire time.... why should we listen to Israel and their "emergancy" when they didnt listen to Palestinians and the countries trying to protect the palestinians by calling for a ceasefire? Israel needs to learn to fight their own fights but they know they'll lose on their own. cry harder assholes.

the absolute GALL on these people to think that they can bomb whoever they want, whenever they want without consequences and then go cry to the UN and Uncle Sam when someone does retaliate, is just mind boggling honestly and truly.

esp ironic considering that if the UNSC did its purported job in the first place, Iran wouldn't have had reason to strike back: "Iran's diplomats stressed that if it were not for the impunity enjoyed by the Israeli occupation in the UN Security Council, and if the perpetrators of the attack on Iran's consulate in Syria were brought to justice, the Islamic Republic would not have found it necessary to retaliate against the Israeli occupation.

'Had the UN Security Council condemned the Zionist regime’s reprehensible act of aggression on our diplomatic premises in Damascus and subsequently brought to justice its perpetrators, the imperative for Iran to punish this rogue regime might have been obviated,' the mission said in a brief statement." (Al Mayadeen 14 April 24) the US imperialist bloc always has ample opportunities for "diplomatic resolution" but they don't want resolution, they want carte blanche to trample over our lands and peoples

the way you decolonise missionary work is by not doing missionary work
