a tweet by Natalie Reed (@nataliereed84) that says: "Cis people get genders, we only get "gender identities". They get pronouns, we get "preferred pronouns". They [allcaps on] are [allcaps off], we "identify as""

I recently cross posted the first photo to the Chicago subreddit, I was asking how a wheelchair lock found on all the local busses worked and they removed the post citing that the post has to be "relevant to people, places, and things in and about Chicago" the busses are Chicago specific busses, therefore their citation was incorrect. They could have cited that this post would be more relevant in the transportation specific sub but that's not what they cited.

That is not my only point of evidence, alone it's annoying but accompanied by them taking down my post asking for medical facility recommendations and calling it "crowd sourcing medical care" is bs. If I asked for restaurant recommendations no one would say that I'm crowd sourcing food, I'm asking for a recommendation of where to go to get that food. This was in response to me asking "does anyone know of any pain management clinics that do trigger point injections under anesthesia?"

Asking for recommendations of medical facilities is not the same as asking people to give you medical care. R/Chicago is excluding their disabled population by actively blocking any participation within the disabled community.

I'm fucking angry. Where else am I supposed to ask for area specific disability related questions than an area specific sub.

Picture 1 depicts a type of locking mechanism designed to roll the wheel of a wheelchair into and lock it in place, it is a cross post from r/wheelchairs to f/Chicago and the text reads "I have figured out that they're called roll stop latches but still don't know how to unlock them" under the post there is a notification reading "Sorry this post has been removed by the moderators of R/Chicago"

Picture 2 depicts a comment made under the post from picture one, the comments was made by Chicago mods team and reads "hi, this post has been removed from r/chicago. Reason: rule 1: all posts should be relevant and specific to Chicago. Please keep posts relevant and specific to the people, places, and things in and about Chicago and Illinois things that affect Chicago. Just because something was made or done by someone from or living in Chicago, or about a Chicago sports team, does not necessarily make it relevant to the city.

Picture 3 depicts the private messages between me and Chicago mod team, my message reads "I asked a question about pain management clinics, my post was then removed. The bot referred me to the list of Chicago subreddits, within the dozens of subs there is not a single medical subreddit. The only options available at this moment are to ask medical subreddits but it is difficult to find people who know the Chicago area within a non area specific sub. Not having a sub for medical problems slash places slash questions is detrimental to Chicago's disabled community that exists on Reddit and participates in the systemic ableism that makes our everyday tasks, such as research and building community, harder. Please make a medical sub and refer me to where I should post my question or reinstate my post"

Picture 4 is still the messages between us, on September 25th I sent the previous message and on the 26th the Chicago mod team responder with a message reading "We’re sorry but we cannot be a party to the crowd sourcing of medical care. You will have to look elsewhere."

A twitter post by Maha Hussaini (@HahaGazy) with the text "About the hypocrisy, double standards of the world, Hamed Ashour from #Gaza, writes: "A year ago, I shared the story of this very friendly dog. What a lucky dog he turned out to be, his story was featured in Arab and international magazines, read by over 5 million people around the world, and translated into seven different languages.

At the time, I was contacted by an animal welfare organisation based in Dublin, the capital of Ireland. They wanted to check on the dog’s health and asked for photos of the tent we lived in and guarded together. I sent the pictures, and in return, I received an overwhelming and extremely rare show of sympathy. They seriously explored the possibility of evacuating the dog from Gaza through partner organisations.

They wanted a better life, a cleaner place, and a wider sky for the dog. No one mentioned me, who was living in a tent unfit even for a dog.""

There are two images attached. The first is an image of a person laying on a beech in front of a dog. The next is an image of the same dog in front of a tent in the sand. The date for the post is 9:21 AM jul 16 2025 and has 141k views.

An edited 3 panel garfield strip featuring jon and garfield. The first panel is jon staring at a piece of paper saying "so this is how I justify the value of my work". The second panel is him looking at garfield while garfield has a thought bubble with the text “lol”. The last panel has an entire stack of papers and jon looking at them unhappily while garfield has a thought bubble saying "that’s the work"
