Attempting to dismantle ableism with snark since 2016
Content/trigger warning: cursing, slurs (censored), disordered eating mention So I have a new job. It’s actually great. Well, mostly great. I’m doing something I love and that I’m good at, the location is fantastic, and most of the people are nice. Unfortunately, there’s always food around the office, which TFED (The Fucking Eating Disorder) is…
Content/trigger warning: cursing, mention of several forms of bigotry Story time. Those who follow me on Twitter know that my Twitter name is now “Mara The Id of Social Justice RAGE Lee”.

Content/trigger warning: ableist language (which you might have guessed :P), cursing First of all, I want to discuss ableist language that isn’t widely acknowledged as ableist in this entry because I see a lot of people who are attempting to be good allies to the Disabled community or are even Disabled themselves using some of…
Content/trigger warning: descriptions of ableism, cursing No. Actually, I’m not. I’m fucking furious.
