This is Captain Kirk of the USS Enterprise speaking. We’ve entered the orbit of a planet not terribly unlike our own… save that it is exclusively populated by petty old queens.
They seem to have accepted Commander Spock as one of their own.

I think most importantly, it would give us the leverage to say “no”. To walk away from bad jobs and abusive managers. To refuse to work in unsafe environments. To demand better pay.
To demand better, because the options are no longer “suck it up” or “die”.
and that’s why there’s so much resistance to implementing it - capitalism wants workers who don’t have a choice
CAPITALISM WANTS WORKERS WHO DON’T HAVE A CHOICE

i feel like disability advocacy and homeless advocacy go hand in hand. like overlap aside, if you can't be normal about homeless people then you probably can't be normal about disabled people either
i know there's an overlap in these demographics btw but like. both groups:
- difficulty getting healthcare (if not denied all together)
- treated like shit when visibly disabled/homeless
- may have the police called on them for being in public
- ignored + not looked at + not talked to. as if ppl are afraid to acknowledge these ppl as ppl.
- difficulty accessing public spaces for various reasons
- treated like they have no value to society as living breathing people
- often thought of as inherently drug seeking
etc etc. and being disabled can make you homeless and being homeless can make you disabled and society is a pit for people who are considered to be at the bottom of it
