"Where language is perceived to be the site of progressive action, action is taken in language. Actions taken in other spheres can become less urgent and less necessary."
Loneliness and Its Opposite, pg 37. Don Kulick and Jens Rydström.
What we will present in this book, though, is the example of a country where wildly politically incorrect language about disability coexists with policies and practices that are both politically radical (for what they mean for the rights of people with disabilities as citizens) and ethically progressive (for what they imply about how disabled and nondisabled people might imagine and engage with one another). This contrasts starkly with Denmark’s neighbor, Sweden. There, language about disability is constantly monitored and uncompromisingly judged. But policies and practices relating to the sexual lives of people with disabilities are politically retrogressive and ethically arrested. Significantly disabled individuals’ access to sex is actively blocked—by the very same people who would be the first to correct you if you said “handicap” instead of “disability.”

ngl after seeing what the actual userbase is like, i think it’s basically a worthless endeavor to continue being invested in bsky. i have very little hope left for this project’s success. even if they are successful on their own terms, i think that would be the worst possible outcome.
