Remember kids, peaceful protests only work when the people in charge want change as well. These are fascists. They want us dead. No historical change has been brought on solely by peaceful protesting, that is a lie to makenus more complacent.

Am I the only one who on the other hand just gets exhausted from school and absolutely hates it, but on the other hand I can't stop thinking about other girls and women who can't go to school because they're not allowed to.

It always makes me realize how lucky I am that I was born in a Western country and not in countries where women have (almost) no rights, but it is still so unfair why this even exists in 2025 (!). That there are still not equal rights for everyone everywhere in the world. Even the 'richer' countries know what is going on, but are doing absolutely nothing to stop it.

The Sad Truth About Disability: Insights from Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

In a recent episode of *Last Week Tonight*, host John Oliver tackled the complex and often heartbreaking realities surrounding disability in modern society. With his signature blend of humor and pointed critique, Oliver shed light on the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, exposing systemic issues that are often overlooked. This blog aims to explore the key topics discussed in the episode and reflect on the broader implications of disability in our world today.

The Marginalization of Disabled Individuals

One of the central themes of Oliver's episode was the societal marginalization of people with disabilities. While the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was a significant step forward in ensuring equal rights and access, many barriers still exist. Oliver highlighted how, despite legal protections, individuals with disabilities often face discrimination in various aspects of life, including employment, healthcare, and public spaces.

The episode emphasized that the representation of disabled individuals in media and culture is often lacking or misrepresented. Stereotypes and misconceptions can perpetuate stigma, making it difficult for those with disabilities to gain acceptance and understanding from society. By addressing these issues, Oliver called for a reevaluation of how disability is perceived and discussed in our cultural narrative.

The Inaccessibility of Public Spaces

Oliver pointed out the persistent inaccessibility of public spaces, despite regulations meant to enforce compliance with the ADA. Many buildings, transportation systems, and public facilities remain ill-equipped to accommodate individuals with disabilities. The host humorously but seriously illustrated how seemingly small oversights can accumulate, leading to significant obstacles for those who rely on accessibility features.

The episode showcased real-life examples of individuals who encounter barriers daily, such as inaccessible restrooms, public transportation that is not wheelchair-friendly, and the lack of proper accommodations in workplaces. These issues serve as a reminder that while laws exist, enforcement and practical application often fall short, leading to further marginalization of disabled individuals.

The Burden of Healthcare Inequities

Another crucial topic Oliver addressed was the inequities in healthcare faced by people with disabilities. The episode tackled the often frustrating and complicated relationship individuals with disabilities have with healthcare systems. Many disabled persons encounter difficulties accessing necessary medical care, receiving proper diagnoses, or obtaining adequate support services.

Oliver highlighted the stark reality that healthcare systems frequently prioritize cost over patient needs, which can lead to inadequate care for those with disabilities. This inequity is exacerbated by systemic issues such as lack of insurance coverage or high out-of-pocket costs for necessary treatments. The episode underscored the urgent need for reform in the healthcare system to ensure that individuals with disabilities receive the quality care they deserve.

The Financial Struggles of Disabled Individuals

Moreover, the episode delved into the financial struggles faced by many with disabilities. Oliver revealed how societal barriers and systemic discrimination can limit employment opportunities for disabled individuals. The fear of losing critical benefits often discourages individuals from seeking work, creating a cycle of poverty and dependence.

The episode pointed out that many disabled individuals live below the poverty line, with limited access to resources that could improve their quality of life. Oliver's discussion highlighted the need for comprehensive support systems that empower individuals with disabilities to achieve financial independence and stability.

The Importance of Representation and Advocacy

Throughout the episode, Oliver emphasized the importance of representation and advocacy for individuals with disabilities. He called for a more inclusive approach to policymaking and a push for representation in media to ensure that the voices of disabled individuals are heard and valued.

By uplifting disabled voices and experiences, society can foster greater understanding and empathy. Oliver urged viewers to engage in activism, advocating for policy changes that promote accessibility, equity in healthcare, and the dismantling of societal barriers that hinder disabled individuals from living fulfilling lives.

Conclusion: A Call to Action

John Oliver's recent episode on disability serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by individuals with disabilities in society. By addressing the marginalization, inaccessibility, healthcare inequities, and financial struggles, the episode shone a light on the sad truth about disability—one that is often overlooked in public discourse.

As advocates for change, it is crucial that we continue to engage in conversations about disability, challenge societal norms, and push for inclusive policies that uplift and support disabled individuals. By doing so, we can work towards a more equitable society where everyone, regardless of their abilities, has the opportunity to thrive and be valued.

In the words of John Oliver, it is time to break down the barriers and ensure that the voices of those with disabilities are not just heard but amplified. Only then can we begin to address the systemic issues that have long persisted and work towards a brighter future for all.

I hope this blog provides a thoughtful overview of the important topics John Oliver touched on regarding disability and encourages further reflection and action on these crucial issues!

A school shooting. In Wisconsin. 9 fucking days before Christmas. I’m so fucking sick of saying this, but I’m gonna say it again: IF YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS DO NOT COME WITH REFORM/POLICY CHANGE, DON’T EVEN OPEN YOUR MOUTH

This team has accomplished real and positive change to the world's oceans, and their YouTube channel has less than 400k subscribers?

Not only do they share their successes but also share their failures, and they are learning from them and improving all the time.

Their videos and their story are amazing. They show the horrific amount of garbage they are cleaning up. They show us that when humans put their minds together, what was thought to be hopeless and impossible becomes just the opposite.

Please subscribe to this channel. They deserve more subscribers and views than any other YouTuber that is putting their lives on display or doing stupid shit for views.

You know, that’s all they wanna do is kill us and the majority of the population sees it fit that we are destroyed as human beings, who are just in crisis. I asked a friend the other day, what he thought about the mentally ill with a knife or a gun and the police approaching them. His answer to me pissed me off. He said they should just kill them because they have a gun or knife. He said hey should be locked away in insane asylums. I told him that police officers are supposed to be trained and if they do when they take the oath to protect and serve that’s what they should do. We hold a knife or a gun because we are scared. Our delusional minds just want what everyone else wants and that’s safety. We as people who suffer from schizophrenia need to support efforts to change the law to hold officers accountable for killing a life that never had a chance.

Maturing is...

* Setting boundaries

* Learning the importance of community

* Acknowledging that people are allowed to have different opinions, no matter how heinous. It is not your job to change their mind, only to prove them wrong through your actions in the world.

* Knowing that the internet is nothing like reality. The internet will only ever be a representation.

* Realising that knowledge is the ultimate power

* ...and respecting nature and our inherent connection to it. 🦋

Feel free to add your own ideas of what maturing is in the notes 🫶
