I've been getting a lot of people Not Getting It in-person lately, and while I'm learning to speak up online, I still can't muster the courage to speak to people I've known for my entire life and/or with whom I have to deal with frequently. (And if I called out people just for ableist language in real life, like I wish I could, I'd never stop.) I love that I have a space where I can express myself, even if not everyone agrees.
