In better news, this situation was handled perfectly - someone saw what was happening, quietly said a word to management, and they offered me a quiet place to sit away from the kids without needing to confront the dad.
Say a prayer to the Patron Saint of Active Bystanders.

Me, gently, to the children in the waiting room poking my medical alert dog in the face repeatedly: hey guys, this dog is working right now and it’s really important not to distract him.
Kids’ dad, angrily, to me: It’s normal for kids to distract dogs!!!
Lord grant me patience.

Does this definition allow us to differentiate between ableism and related forms of stigma - ageism, sizeism, stigmas targeted specifically at beauty and sexual attractiveness? These are clearly related and entangled, but seem worth separating (imho)

No, sorry, this is a secret. We metaphysicians guard this sacred knowledge. You must pass the initiate rites to be found worthy of the hidden mysteries.

No joke this is the genuine dynamic of our friendship that is now playing out in public and it makes me happy that it’s so recognizable to others.

Well, dear Liam, you see events aren’t fundamental and thus speaking qua metaphysician - ‘the language of the ontology room’ - we don’t quantify over happenings. Also this is why everyone won’t invite us to parties.

This is actually a major accessibility issue. When there's a schedule, stick to the schedule! Some of us depend on scheduling in pretty radical ways, and would rather not have to explain the awkward details of that to strangers.

Sadly, at this stage, mere reply is no longer an option. I must write in great length - possibly in verse - of the deep shame I have brought upon myself, my home, and my family for having delayed this long. I must atone. Only great effort will suffice. Perhaps tomorrow. twitter.com/Wiglet1981/sta…

And I honestly believe and hope that philosophy - even "scientific philosophy" in something like Russell's sense - can do the same today, it can help us model a way of being that is not so parochial, which calls on us to understand one another and engage with loving-kindness.
