🎓⚖️♿Disability and (Dis)Ablism (systems, vocabulary, voices)

My Youtube playlist Disability and (Dis)Ableism (systems, vocabulary, voices) I'm still not fully happy with it. It's still cluttered at the end and there's some longer videos I still need to rewatch. But it's the last day of Disability Pride month! I'm not gonna let perfection come before progress!

Miss Bettina, I would like to ask you, do you think of a distinction between liking and loving? What if liking was superficial, yet pleasant? Maybe a warm day, or a smooth ride of traffic, little joys that don't have any deeper meaning? What if love is a more active choice, something that you opt into, a series of choices to be kind, to yourself, to a neighbor, to the local racoon? Maybe love is beyond more than mere romance or sexuality? Perhaps love is a lifestyle, a habit of bringing dedicated joy to yourself and others. All in all, these are nice concepts to ponder, at least for me. All this chaos and suffering, and yet many people can find it in themselves to act kindly. I like that thought.

That is a very interesting and thoughtful line of thinking, and I thank you for this topic. I like to call asks like these "ponderful". :)

I find it funny how you can like something or someone without necessarily loving it/them, or how you can love someone even while you don't really like them sometimes, you know? :P

I think love has a much broader meaning than people give it credit. There need to be more words for the different types of love. I mean, there are different words for it, but it's not in society's regular vocabulary. Romantic love isn't the only type of love that exists, and it shouldn't be the most important thing in the world and put on the high pedestal that it is. There's love that you share with your family, with your true friends, with the neighbors / coworkers / general community of people you interact with on a daily / regular basis.

It shouldn't be so weird for you to say "I love you, man!" or "I love this person so much!" without people automatically thinking you mean you want to be romantic with them. Not that I'm a big advocate for polyamory, but I have grown to discover that you should be allowed to say you love multiple people in your life. You can love someone simply because there's something you find loveable about them.
