Hurt people hurt people, but it doesnโt have to be that way. We can break the cycle and create better relationships and communities. When we heal from our past traumas, we can have empathy and love for each other. Walking around with the excess baggage of our pasts is wasted time and energy. #OneLove
I also believe that which works against the survival and betterment of intelligent life is to be opposed and protected against.
So, to me, authoritarianism, monarchies, hierarchical systems of social control of the many by the few are evils.
Diversity is important to all complex systems, especially living and thinking ones.
So bigotry and hatred are evils to me.
Efforts to stop intelligence from advancing are evil to me.
@Cynanthrope @AskTheDevil What you must always remember is, do not be angry at the person who is ill.
They did not choose this.
Be angry at the illness, and at our dreadful mental health care system.
But never lose your love for the person who is unwell, no matter what they do.
it's not a choice they made consciously. And yes it's hard and you need to remind yourself 10, 15, 20 times a day of that fact.
But keep your patience, your belief, and your love.
Actual work conversation from this week:
Project manager: So, I was thinking weโll do a version 1, and then later when we can weโll do a version 2 to add #accessibility.
Me: No. Accessibility canโt just be put off. We just need build it right the first time.

The fact that our PM is actually a great guy just makes this so much more disheartening. The โIโ in DEI stands for inclusion. Building something (a project related to DEI, no less) that excludes #disabled people is not inclusion.
