   So on Threads (I don’t use it, just saw discourse spilling over elsewhere) they’re discussing how using the word “scrying” is supposedly ableist because people might not know it.

   I’m losing my shit, I literally had to put down my phone and walk away from it for a few minutes.

   (Btw it’s ableist to call something ableist that is not.)

     @thomasfuchs I have been called a pedant before but never an ableist, for my vocabulary.

     @thomasfuchs can't people just search for things they don't know about, in order to learn about them? We have dictionaries and encyclopedias on the internet now!
