  • It would be very helpful if there was an explanation included for the mechanism that makes usage of the mentioned words ableist. I can not give a better explanation to this but a very simplified example would be:

    Using the phrase ‘blinded by’ normalises the idea that blindness is a bad thing that should be avoided. Blind people should have the agency over the connotation of the word ‘blindness’ and not be influenced by our negative usage of it to think that their condition is inherently bad.

    It would be cool if there was an academic source on this mechanism.

    It’s a lot to ask of any community to spell out exactly why certain things are bad for them, but unfortunately it is often the only way to get people to actually consider what you’re asking of them.


  • Peanuts, peppers, all citrus fruits, mangoes and pomegranates as well. In the EU it’s mandatory for the store to inform about the country of origin either on the pricetag or with a sign but many stores stopped doing this with products from the zionist entity. You can always ask an employee though and they have to get their manager who should be able to find out.
