reminder that most labor-saving products (e.g. pre-peeled garlic) are for people who would (usually due to disability) otherwise have no access to the end result at all

they're only marketed to everyone else because widespread ableism (especially among the capitalist class) means companies don't want disabled bodies associated with their product

are some of them unethically made? yes, they are - capitalism is a hellscape, some of everything is unethically made

are some of them absolute ripoffs? yes, they are - many con artists are eager to defraud desperate people who really can't afford it because desperate people both have less ability to detect fraud and less ability to seek redress for being wronged

but if you ever look at something and think, "but all you have to do is--" then immediately stop and ask yourself what kinds of disabilities might make whatever remedy just came to mind impossible, because there's probably something

What if instead of calling it "asexual reproduction" we called it "nulltiplication"

Never attribute to malice what you can attribute to solipsism

I do not want to be free. I want to be dependent on the love of others. I want a community that cares for itself, and builds and maintain infrastructure for itself and those around it. I want to chain myself to a constructed society based on mutualism and empathy and scream, no, you cannot take this from us. We are not lonely creatures in the wilderness. We are a stronger force bonded together.

You've heard of a broken clock being right twice a day, but consider: some broken clocks are never right.

A refrain I keep seeing in abuse callout posts is that their collaborators MUST have known and MUST have enabled them. This isn’t true. People who work, even closely, with others are just as blindsided by learning about these things as the fans are. 1/?

It's not that hard people.
