Actually, different salaries should only affect how luxurious your life is, not your food quality or ability to afford rent. If you work 40 hours at any job, your income should be enough to live in the town you work in. Thinking otherwise is an abysmal indicator of your humanity

Non-Americans find this weird because we don't put as much weight on our ancestry. No one in Europe would consider themselves Irish just because their great-great-great-grandparent emigrated from Ireland. After that many generations, what connection do you even have to Ireland?

You can’t read Sally Rooney, you can’t listen to Fontaines DC on Fridays, you can’t peacefully hold a sign, you can’t wear a badge, you can’t look at children’s art in a hospital, you can’t pronounce a dead paedo’s name correctly, you can only keep quiet & learn to love genocide.

They give noose pins to their children to celebrate the execution of Palestinians, and you want me to believe Zionism isn’t a racist ideology? Their entire identity is tied to this project of hate and dehumanization of an entire group of people. We recognize exactly what this is.

Literally calling for disabled people to be segregated and erased from public life to spare the inconvenience of being offended by them. Allison probably thinks she's a good person.
Calling Black men the n-word is racism. If John has coprolalia and can’t control the slurs he says, he should watch from a separate area, not in the main audience where Black people are exposed to slurs
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Segregation of a person because of their disability would amount to direct discrimination and therefore unlawful under the Equality Act 2010.

This is a really good litmus test for what people actually think about neurodivergence. Are you supportive when it is challenging? Or just when it is easy for you?
I feel so badly for everyone involved in this. People with tourette's say a lot of things they don't believe in.
BAFTAs host Alan Cumming delivered a message after the ceremony was interrupted by Tourette’s campaigner John Davidson yelling the N-word while Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage:
“You may have noticed some strong language in the background there, this can be part of how Tourette’s syndrome shows up for some people as the film explores that experience”
Cumming later said he was sorry if anyone was offended and that “the tics are involuntary” (via Deadline)
