This is so important though: "You're gonna get in trouble for that" reveals so much. He was planning on nobody doing anything, not because nobody stands up to him, or nobody objecting to what he says. He expects good people to be goody-two-shoes rules followers, and he expects the rules to protect him no matter what he does.

Important lesson to learn from this standing up to fascists means getting into good trouble. Get into trouble if it's worth it. Fascists will never expect it.

Georgia Bondy, the Covid inquiry manager for Disability Rights UK, writes about why the government must listen to the Covid inquiry.

Modelling showing that if the government had acted just one week earlier, approximately 23,000 lives could have been saved in the first wave from March to July 2020, underscores this point. The lives lost disproportionately belonged to disabled people. In the first wave, the risk of death among disabled men in England was twice as high as it was for non-disabled men and for disabled women it was 2.4x as high. By June, people with learning disabilities aged 18 to 34 in the UK were 30 times more likely to die. The Covid inquiry report underscores that the scale of this inequality was not a result of disabled people’s innate vulnerability. They were a direct consequence of the government’s “remarkable” failure to anticipate and act on “obvious” and “higher risks” to disabled people. It wasn’t until 21 May 2020, almost two months after the first lockdown, that disabled people were considered at a ministerial level. Despite information from Italy and Spain from April 2020 showing the outsized risk to learning disabled people, it wasn’t until November 2020 that Public Health England published a report considering it. How did this happen? How could the government so utterly fail to consider a group that accounts for a quarter of the UK population? The answer from the inquiry is that they simply ignored advice when it was given and created a “culture in which the loudest voices prevailed and the views of other colleagues, particularly women, often went ignored, to the detriment of good decision making”. Decisions were made by privileged men who flippantly disregarded other perspectives to devastating effect. Rishi Sunak, then chancellor of the exchequer, was advised to provide pay for people who were self isolating and would not otherwise be paid for their time. This included a large proportion of care home workers who are regularly employed on casual contracts. He dismissed it, “skeptical that [financial provision] would make a difference to the levels of people self-isolating”. A total of 40% of Covid-19 deaths in the first wave were care home residents. The decision of a man whose wealth put him out-of-touch with the reality of working people, was part of the reason they were unnecessarily exposed to the virus and died.

was watching a video essay on how grim star trek is nowadays and saw some great comments.

A lot of the time people will say like "oh I'd never make fun of a disabled person" but then they do and they don't even realize that that's what they're doing. Like

People will say they wouldn't make fun of a schizophrenic or psychotic person but then make "jokes" about people being insane and delusional.

People will say they wouldn't make fun of epileptic people but then get mad about having to add flash warnings.

People will say they wouldn't make fun of an autistic person but then berate people for missing social cues.

People will say they wouldn't make fun of visually impaired people but then call people lazy for not reading things themself or making spelling mistakes.

People will say they wouldn't make fun of an intellectually disabled person but then mock people who can't do "basic" things.

I think it in part comes from the belief that the people you know couldn't possibly be disabled, that if you met a disabled person you'd be able to tell immediately. And, no. That's not how it works. If you want to be an ally to disabled people, you don't make fun of the things we do. Even if you're not making fun of someone who's disabled, you're telling the other disabled people you know that you're not safe for us to be around.

I feel like sometimes people who don’t know a lot of history or I guess don’t know much about life outside of a modern liberal democracy think that statements like “women were property of their husbands” are, idk, exaggerated? Metaphors? Like no when we say “women are/were property of their fathers until they became property of their husbands” that is simply a description of the facts

that comment about how you should not borrow grief from the future has saved me multiple times from spiraling into an inescapable state of anxiety. like every time i find myself thinking about how something in the future could go wrong i remember that comment and i think to myself: well i never know, it might get better. it might not even happen the way i think it will and if it does happen and it is sad and bad ill be sad about it then, when it happens. and it’s somehow soo freeing
