Got wind of this video from Renee and Bint, and I’m sharing because it’s on point.

Quotation of the day: “This pepper shaker is so 16-year old boy with a cheesy mustache.” Wanda Sykes is bringing it, y’all!

Might I add that the same principle applies to “that’s retarded” and “that’s lame.”

Yes, words matter.

You are so awesome! Thanks for pointing out the relatedness of those ablist phrases, too!

*hugs*
