Well I just learned a new upsetting thing about systemic ableism today.
Keep thinking about this. It means that the people who receive SSDI can literally NEVER be a part of the group legislating the program. I feel genuinely sick to my stomach…because like…that’s the formal structure. We’ve all accepted this??????????
Tbh I’ve found the whole “iPhone is better than android” argument can be pretty deeply rooted in classism and the whole thing annoys me in general
Let me elaborate. iPhones are what, $500-$600? Androids can be as cheap as $100, cheaper still if its not a smart phone. iPhones are one of the most expensive brands on the market and Not Everyone Can Fucking Afford It. People get androids for a variety of reasons, price being a big one. And then you have to listen to pretentious assholes shit on you for having an “ugly piece of shit phone”. Sorry my mom can’t shell out $600 every time a new iPhone comes out like yours can.

The fact that I lost 3 followers for this pretty much solidifies my point.
I think that’s a fair point but isn’t it true also that you can get them so significantly cheaper with and upgrade? Like my friend had to replace his recently and he said he only had to pay for the shipping and 20$ extra on his bill for 14 months and that comes out to be about 280$? I mean maybe that also applies to androids idk?
Yeah but how are you gonna afford to buy into it? You have to buy a $500 phone to get into the upgrade cycle. And with the upgrade cycle you only pay the difference between your model and the newer model. Same with androids, but android starting prices are, depending on phone, as low as $100. iPhones don’t get that cheap, and even if you did get an iPhone that cheap, you’d still end up paying the difference for a newer model. You buy a $100 iPhone and want to upgrade to a $600 current model? You’re gonna pay $500 for it. With androids you don’t have to do that if you don’t want to because even newer models (depending on model and company) aren’t that expensive. It all comes back to base prices in the end.

At universities you see a lot more casual classism and it’s just like… I see you. I see your disgusting ass. I see you telling people that the poor shouldn’t have health care or a house or access to food stamps. I see you complaining about people having the audacity to be paid a liveable wage. I see you talking about the poor as if they were some sort of subhuman burden. I see yo nasty ass.
Hi. I made a callout post a really long time ago, and it is time for me to make a new one. You can still reblog that old one if you want, but it is outdated and I know a lot more about ableism now then I did then. I will surely be updating this, so before you make a comment on something, please click the OP to see if anything new is there.
Let’s talk about Sixpenceee and her ableism, among other things.
Please stop reblogging and supporting her.
This isn’t even technically everything, I probably forgot or missed something, so just see my /tagged/sixpenceee.
If you like all the cool things sixpenceee posts, but hate all the ableism, bullying, and attention grabbing, go check out @sevenpencee !! They’re like sixpenceee, but not disgusting and awful.
FUCKING BLESS!!!!!! 🙌🏻

“Sweet Dreams explores the intricacies of everyday ableism and everyday ableist comments. Some of the comments recount dialogue said to the artist. Other phrases were submitted by other disabled and/or chronically ill individuals as documentation of comments that have been said to them. Through using recognizable objects associated with disability in correlation with playful colors, Sweet Dreams aims to reclaim objects commonly associated with pain and disrupt the narrative on what it means to be disabled.”
