This is me. With my head under a towel. Because my building has a fucking strobe light in the fire alarm. And this happens every time someone burns their dinner. They won’t take the strobe out because they say it won’t be accessible to disabled people. Meanwhile people with epilepsy, migraines, and autism could die if there was ever a big fire because we either wouldn’t be able to function, or could even walk out into the middle of the fire. If anyone wonders the sort of thing I meant in part 8 about disabled people dying in the name of going against ableism. This is what I meant. (And yes there are visual signaling devices for deaf people that wouldn’t cause all these negative effects. They just don’t give a shit about doing it right.)
