The Biden Admin just announced an executive order removing de minimis tax protections from large companies trying to exploit it to import large quantities of product, which is going to take a bite out of Shein and Temu’s business models.

Remember how Trump’s inner circle from his last time around either all disavowed the man or have spent the last 3 years in courtrooms and bankruptcy proceedings?

I’ve managed people for a long time. I’ve helped develop and implement accomodations for people with physical disabilities, learning disabilities, trauma history, mental health issues, and more. What you’re doing here is painting everyone with a disability with one brush, where the reality is people with disabilities have a wide variety of needs and wants.

I feel like you are coming into this conversation with a specific grievance about a specific meeting or group that’s starting without you. I’d challenge you to think inventively about how you can get your needs met while not externalizing your experience (“my dissatisfaction is everyone else’s fault”) and falling into resentment.

Reading your headline, I was thinking I was going to agree with you here. People who have lower incomes or who lack transportation absolutely have more barriers to overcome to be on time, and I genuinely believe grace should be given e.g. when arriving to work.

But starting a large meeting on time is being ableist? I don’t know how else to put this…that sentiment is profoundly entitled. You want the entire group to wait for you because you had transportation difficulties? You want the entire group to extend the time they were planning on being on this meeting? What about people who have pre-scheduled rides who are going to have to leave on time? People who rely on family for transport?

I fully support giving grace to people who have transportation issues, and supporting them in getting caught up on anything they may have missed. I will never abide a person who’s not on time who expects the world to stop and wait for them and calls them “ableist” for just holding a meeting as planned.

Anyone have the soggy, sticky aftershot?

In the actual report linked in this article it says they were aware of the attack as it was happening and that they don’t believe it was a state actor

Under English law, British media are restricted in their reporting owing to Letby’s upcoming retrial.

This seems to answer the question
