Diss Function/Dis Function

(With Thanks To Zach Richter for the muse-phrase "Diss Function")

[Visual is a mathematical explanation breaking down the notation of the function of x.]

Diss Function/Dis Function

Function function, what’s your function

I do diss function sometimes

And I have written why functioning labels are

Erroneous

Irrelevant

Insulting and

Dangerous and I have written

A person is a person

A person is not a function

Some people get angry when I say these things

And others make assumptions

Like this: like it’s OK to break the law

Because we seem smart to them

Or because we're in a position where

It’s easy to misuse your workers

Despite the fact that goes against the stated culture

And it's just not right

But executive functioning is a real thing

Unlike functioning labels

Which are arbitrary and tools for tools

Reasonable accommodations cannot be lost

Whenever you see fit

Not if you want the world to work properly

Not if you are decent or have moral fiber

I can diss function

But you in all your powerful radiance

Of alleged normality

You don’t get to

You get to respect my

Dis Function

Because in my own Dis Function

I function fine
WITH those reasonable accommodations so

Pay attention

See the reality

Do the right thing

And act justly in word and deed

Please do this from now on.

Love,
