I agree but unfortunately none of the big “leftist” influencers agree :(

Nature is so healing

I am comfortable being around all sorts of ppl bc that’s the job w journalism, but I feel u! Ultimately I think it’s good for the right wing media to platform me/allow me access to their audience bc I’ve gotten many loyal followers to flip that way. But I respect anyone’s approach differently!

I literally haven’t changed a single one of my beliefs you guys just make shit up

It’s all good! Just annoying to deal with but that’s the internet. Sending solidarity!

It’s not just ableism it’s also other reactionary politics like how these people are pro censorship/surveillance laws etc. Also a lot of it is just ppl who hate me intentionally misrepresenting my beliefs in order to drive outrage. It’s frustrating bc I’m a very open book w what I believe

What I said about X was clipped and presented out of context, again, to intentionally manufacture outrage. Please stop stripping the nuance from my beliefs! I’m a very open book!! I do disagree on some tech stuff w the left but that’s not bc I’m secretly right wing

A lot of people today can’t just admit they they don’t like someone they have to make up some fake moral justification as to why they’re bad and you’re actually a GOOD person for not liking someone. It’s fine to just not like someone! Smh

If a much more powerful massive right wing media outlet wants to promote me to their audience, I will always welcome it. What I will not do is change my beliefs or promote them back. But if right wing media started promoting more ppl saying trans rights, free Palestine, etc that would be great imo!

Wish more people understood this

I don't "heavily use AI" but again, that's a common talking point from these people who misrepresent/make things up about me! I am a tech reporter covering consumer tech, so I'm mostly covering how other ppl use AI. And there is no "advocacy for use of Twitter" Stop fighting ghosts!

You are one of the people I'm talking about

It's reactionary shit and it's disgusting! This is why I have never identified with any formal political movement, I think these people are not remotely interested in justice or equal rights or freedom, they're interested in manufacturing outrage, often bc they *personally* don't like me.

Their goal is to profit off lies about me or generate engagement by furthering harassment and abuse campaigns. These people have zero solidarity with disabled people, and are the same ones gleefully mocking the entire disabled community for caring about COVID, or mocking ppl who use neo pronouns

What you should be asking yourself is why are a certain few accounts-- who have ZERO solidarity with disabled people-- specifically trying to misrepresent something I have always done (allow the right wing media to platform me while never platforming them back) now. What is their real goal?

This is why I go on News Nation, this is why I went on Infowars many times, this is why I have and always will let Fox News put me on. This is not new, and some of my most loyal audience members fighting against LGBTQ hate laws, etc have come from engaging these audiences.

I have always and will always allow the right wing media to platform me and let me speak to their massive and more powerful audiences. This is not new! I think it's GOOD if Bari Weiss wants to platform me or anyone else saying free Palestine and trans rights, that's a good thing actually.
