Hi,just a quick message here about #IDPWD2020 .It's been a tough year for Disabled people, and i wanted to take this thread to reflect on this from my personal https://t.co/M6RAkbs9uh you will see certain organisations providing lip service for exposure...

...here's a reminder to listen to what Disabled people are saying on this day,to get a true perspective on what this day means to Disabled people. When we open up about difficult experiences, it's important that people listen, instead of being ignorant...
In 2020 alone,we have had to contend with Anti-vaxxers,inaccurate portrayals of Disabilities in media,Ableist slurs on both sides of the political spectrum, Parents with Disabled children who believe our views don't matter and during a pandemic, we have been forgotten about...
This highlights to me,that more work needs to be done in order to push for equality and acceptance for the Disabled communities, however Disabled people already share their stories,they already provide educational experiences,non-disabled people have to pull their weight...
...for change to have a chance of happening, so when you see,for example, the British Department of Work and Pensions suggest they support Disabled people, ask them why they are not members of the Disability confident scheme. We must ask these questions to have a chance...
...of making businesses and people actually think about how we are treated in society.
I wanted to end this on a happier note from me, since i found #DisabilityTwitter over 3 years ago,i have interacted and got to know some wonderful people from @wheelsofsteer to @queerlyautistic to @nolan_syreeta to @__INSA__ and more...the Disabled community has been...
...so incredibly welcoming and understanding...understanding that i rarely have offline and i could not ask for a better group of people to converse with.
Also to people like @FightForeverMTL and @TomMcwrestlepro ,i want to thank you also,for taking the time to listen (i feel like i do this a lot ,but i feel it's important) and you are prime examples of people who are not judgemental and try to understand and i thank you for that

Now you know I love to sh-t in Harvard. But I also like accuracy. So I decided to go look at Harvard’s catalog to see its lack of military history that this article describes (they only teach history of pets it claims) and what I found shocked me! Shocked me! A thread: 1/


First off, Harvard students literally have multiple sections of military history that they can take listed. (It appears these ones are taught at MIT, so they might have to walk down the street for these) but... 2/


Say they want to stay on campus...they can only take numerous classes on war and diplomacy...3/


They have an entire class on Yalta. That’s right. An entire class on Yalta. 4/


But wait! There is more! They can take the British Empire, The Fall of the Roman Empire for those wanting traditional topics... 5/
Thread on how atheism leads to mental retardation (backed with medical citations🧵💉)

To start with, atheism is an unnatural self-contradicting doctrine.

Medical terminology proves that human beings are naturally pre-disposed to believe in God. Oxford scientists assert that people are "born believers".

It should be known that atheism could never produce an intelligently-functioning society and neither ever will.

Contrastingly, Islam produced several intellectuals & polymaths, was on the forefront of scientific development, boasting 100% literacy


It is also scientifically proven that atheism led to lesser scientific curiosity and scientific frauds, which is also why atheists incline to pseudo-science.

Whereas, religion in general and Islam in particular boosted education.

Atheists are also likely to affected by pervasive mental and developmental disorders like high-functioning autism.

Cognitive Scientists and renowned Neurologists found that more atheism is leads to greater autism.

Let's talk honestly about "informed consent."
Someone with decades of training gives someone with none advice usually packed into 1-3 mins. Huge amount is based on trust. Huge potential for bias built in. But also there is no obligation to provide real alternative options.


I am classified as 'gifted' (obnoxious and ableist term). I mention because of what I am about to say. You all know that I was an ambulatory wheelchair user previously - could stand - but contractures have ended that. When I pleaded for physio, turned down. But did you know...

I recently was chatting with a doctor I know and explaining what happened and the day the physiatrist told me it was too late and nothing could be done. The doctor asked if I'd like one of her friends/colleagues to give second opinion. I said yes please! So...

She said can you send me MRI and other imaging they did to determine it wasn't possible to address your contractures.

Me: What?
Dr.: They did a MRI first before deciding right?
Me: No
Dr: What did they do??!
Me: Examined me for 2 minutes.
Dr: I am very angry rn. Can't talk.

My point is you don't even know if you are making "informed" decisions because the only source of information you have is the person who has already decided what they think you should do. And may I remind you of a word called 'compliance.'
