Phrases that must go away in #2019 & beyond: 🙄"We are all one race - the human race." 😠"Fair enough." 🤮"This person overcame their disability!" 😬"I don't think of you as disabled." What's on your list? #ShitAbledPeopleSay

@geekygimp "You can't just go around calling people/things ableist, that won't help your cause." "Why are you so angry for no reason?" "Well I'm disabled and I'm not bothered by ableist thing/slur/etc." "My brother's dog's aunt's owner's niece is also disabled so I know better than you."
@geekygimp "you are an inspiration" " you'd get more people on your side if you were less angry and more polite" "as someone who works with disabled people" "as someone with a disabled relative" " person with autism, not autistic person" (from non-autistic people)
@geekygimp "Differently abled." Ugh.
