gridloreOn Twitter just now there was a post about "what do you wear on your feet around the house?" I and several other people answered "shoes."
Which sent one asshole off. Because we're filthy animals who smear dog feces and urine all over our homes, and nobody wears shoes inside!
Cue several people - including me - explaining that for medical reasons, yes, we do wear shoes at almost all times. Walking barefoot is painful for me, not to mention dangerous because I can't feel my feet!
What followed was some of the most ableist, germophobic bullshit I have ever read. None of us really needed shoes, we were all living in heaps of filth, and of course, we were all lying about our various disabilities.
I muted him when he started with the gif reactions, which are the white flag of Twitter. Muted, not blocked. Because if I just mute them, They can still see what I write and reply, but I never see it. It drives them absolutely mad!
