IriDas RFK jr‘s claims show just how little he knows about anything. This entire administration is the living embodiment of “better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.” There is definitely no doubt. 2d
Kerrbearlib @IriDas it really does show how little he knows. It's very frustrating. 2d

Took a little walk after lunch around Marion, IA and stopped into the Marion Chocolate Shop (their caramels are so good 😋) and the HEA Book Boutique - a romance themed book store. First time I‘ve visited and it‘s very cute. I got myself the tagged book and a T-shirt that says “I closed my book to be here”

#DynamicDs Day 11: Cesaria, a Deaf girl, who uses sign language to communicate, is on her way to a #Dance performance. She was upset when her coach asked her to wear sandals for the #Dance and she preferred to be barefoot. When Cesaria was finally on stage, she simply allowed the rhythm to wash over her and did what was true and right for her body. My full review of this gorgeous title: https://wp.me/pDlzr-rb2

#DynamicDs

Since I missed yesterday‘s prompt, I‘m going for double Ds today! (Okay, that sounded better in my head!) 😆 Out Of My Brain is about a #DifferentlyAbled girl & told through #Diary entries. The follow-up (tagged) is still in my TBR.

Please excuse me getting on my soapbox for a minute, but I saw that the #DynamicDs prompt for today is #DifferentlyAbled

Can we just not with the “differently abled” language? I‘m disabled. So is my sister, my cousin, and some of my friends. I‘ve been a part of disability groups politically/professionally. We either use “disabled” or “person w/ a disability.”

Tagged is good if you want to learn. Pic of sister‘s invisibly disabled cat for tax.

shortsarahrose Here‘s a pretty good summary about why you should use disabled rather than differently abled: https://www.betterup.com/blog/differently-abled 2w

shortsarahrose Thank you @lil1inblue 💜 This is why I love Litsy - people are open to talk and learn (rather than just argue like every other social media site). I know I‘ve learned from others on here over the years. 2w

#DynamicDs Day 7: I loved seeing how the two friends were able to tell each other about the things they love through their dancing hands. The Afterword provides information about Filipino Sign Language and how it is distinct from American Sign Language. People tend to assume homogeneity among the non-speaking, #differentlyabled communities, and this book shows how this is not the case. My review of this award-winning book: https://wp.me/pDlzr-r64
