70 years? Fuck that is so depressing.

Also check in on your disabled friends folks. COVID is really impacting their services and I feel like no one is talking about this

Thank you for saying this. It’s very difficult to get physical therapy and other services right now.

It really is difficult to get any services right now.

I worry about kiddos who are missing out on intensive therapy because a lot of providers in my area are only doing telemedicine...some of it is so time sensitive depending on the diagnosis and while I am confident in the providers I know, some of it just really needs to be in person, though.

Oh for sure. My MRI was delayed and like ??? I need that!

Did these white women have agents or managers?

Did they not think they would be found out? like...

Ableism os so rampant in film and tv. Iiirc, Bryan cranston had a flop opinion about critique of that shitty remake he did with that unfunny negro

[flyfingers7]

of course they do. it was their white managers who probably told them it was a good idea. its their same white managers who will tell them "dye your hair dark brown, the market for Latinas is exploding!!!"

This reminds me of a girl I worked with who took a month off work after a car accident and was suing the other driver for her back being fucked up meanwhile I had her on Instagram and she went to Mexico and was twerking on a boat during her time off.

Lol she's dumb. I work for attorneys and I definitely look up people's socials for cases like that and have gotten cases either dismissed or gotten their settlement options down to less than half of what they could've gotten.

[marzipanism]

My thoughts exactly

She made her profile private shortly after but mmm idk girl

[angriest_girl]

How did they think it would not eventually be found out? They don’t seem very bright.

You would have to be a real piece of shit to lie and say you were wheelchair-bound without being that way. Good on the casting directors for checking people's instagrams.
