These little-known bank accounts allow Americans with disabilities to save and invest

If you're an American with a disability who receives government assistance, you likely qualify for an ABLE account, or you may starting next

The age of eligibility for an ABLE account, allowing USAmerican disabled people to save up money without losing their government assistance for having “too much,” is going to go up to cover disabilities diagnosed by age 46 (currently it’s age 26), meaning a much larger number of people will be able to access them. As the article notes, many Americans don’t know these accounts exist, let alone whether they or someone they care for could qualify for one, so please share this information around.

It seems to me it would obviously be better if the “no more than $2000 a month” limit were simply removed and disabled people could have whatever savings accounts they chose, but this is heaps better than nothing.

Effective as of January 1, 2026, eligibility has expanded to folks whose disabled diagnosis was established prior to turning 46 years old

About ABLE Accounts An ABLE account is a savings and / or investment option for people with disabilities who qualify. It falls under Section

when boy bands sing a love song addressed to the listener does that imply all 5-10 of them are in love with you at once. that seems like a lot of pressure i don't know if i want to be the nucleus of the boyband polycule.

not a criticism of the op of the last post but it's so strange to me when people say they are "unable" to go vegan because the definition of veganism already makes room for the "vegan" things you "cannot do."

"as far as is practicable and possible" means doing your best.

if you're doing everything you can do, and your health issues preclude other things, you can absolutely still be vegan.

and i know there are a lot of memes out there that are making fun of "you can still be vegan and eat meat!" but like. it's better to remove all non-food animal products than not to. it's better to eat only bacon while avoiding all other forms of animal exploitation than to eat bacon and continue contributing to animal abuse in other ways.

people complain that vegans have an "all or nothing" mentality, but what's stopping non-vegans from choosing a couple of animal products they don't need and then making the choice to avoid them completely?

maybe you're not a vegan, but you don't eat specific (commonly eaten) animals. maybe you're not vegan but you don't use leather (this was me, pre-veganism). maybe you're not vegan but you avoid personal care products that use parts of animals and/or are tested on them.

something is better than nothing.

[thelucidsystem]

Definitely agree. I know a lot of vegans have an issue with you using the label if you're not 100%. Which is a little frustrating, but I think we shouldn't let it stop us from going partway. From doing a little. From doing our best. We need lots of people doing better than they our know, not a few people being perfect.

Normalize apologizing after you were wrong instead of being defensive and disrespectful because you're embarrassed.

Today I learned that cuttlefish experience REM sleep, and that it makes their skin flash random colors. This is the cutest thing ever.

The electric eel at my aquarium has a voltmeter attached to his tank, and whenever he pumps out a burst of electricity–either when he’s navigating his tank or getting fed–the meter lights up and makes noise. Sometimes, I’ll walk past him when he’s snuggled up and totally motionless on his log, and see the voltmeter going crazy.

I am left to assume that he is dreaming, and is sleep-zapping at the things in his dreams.

[arachnospooky]

I am absolutely delighted to learn that electric eels dream of kicking ass.

I remember during puberty talk in 6th grade they handed out permission slips for parents to sign if they didn’t want their kids getting sex ed and like five students ended up having to wait in the library while the rest of us learned about puberty and health stuff.

Afterwards during lunch recess almost everyone in class spent our time telling those five kids what we learned and showing them our handouts.

[flipocrite]

This, on its own, would still suffice to explain why comprehensive sex ed invaluable. Teens and preteens are going to educate themselves, one way or another. They will do so with the handouts and knowledge given to them by the public school curriculum, or with strangers who find them on the internet. The idea of “my child would never disobey me so they don’t need sex ed” is pure authoritarian parent fantasy, complete with the subtext of “cervical cancer is a fitting punishment for disobedience”.
