Noticing a lot of casual #ableism on the fedi today. Don't have the energy for individual requesting, so putting a general one here:
Please stop using the lack of intelligence as a way to attack bigotry. It hurts #disabled people much more than it advances any progressive cause.
Bigots aren't bigots because they lack intelligence, they're bigots because they have power and aren't made accountable. Intellectual disablement is much more likely to make one a target of bigotry. Please stop.
