I had some cards printed up.

These are unlikely to change any minds, but they will defintely shorten some incredibly tedious conversations at the bar.

Here's a PDF if you'd like some of your own.

The alt text is also useful for valid people who read messages on smartphone.
It's not comfortable to read small texts on pictures. Alt text give an easy and comfortable way to access to the text.
And, since you have the original texts, it should not too complex for you to copy and past it in the alt section. And someone took time to give you the text for the alt. It's easy to edit your publication.
See you later (or never because I think you will block me too).

I really don't like this "ope, too late for you to complain!" argument.

How long were cigarettes allowed on buses? We still banned em.

I’m wondering if we’ll hear about it the first time an ICE chud goes to take a piss with his electroshock gloves on.

Then something like my "AI" post escapes confinement and these absolute lunatics show up saying taser torture gloves are good actually if you use them locally, I need to seek a moderate middle ground with the taser torture gloves, taser torture or get left behind, I don't know who the Luddites were. Wild.

I feel so bad for boosting and even thanking you for your post. If I had noticed it was missing alt text, I wouldn’t have boosted it in the first place.

And now that I know you’re the kind of asshole who punches down on disabled people, I feel even worse, and the least I can do is block you.
