Disabled protesters shut down a republican congressional hearing today because said repubs are trying to LITERALLY decimate Medicaid. They want to cut ~$88 billion from medicaid every year for 10 yrs for a total which, again— & this is important—Essentially Equals The Entire Budget of Medicaid.

I personally do NOT trust disability organizations or charities that don't have a leadership team that's mostly disabled. Because from my experience, most disability organizations look down on disabled people. And will demand free work and items from us. Cause they devalue us.

My newest fabric art creations are Hellena the Spring Bunny and her friend Sinew the Chthonic Egg of Joy. I designed and hand-sewed them. Hellena enjoys inventing new shadow-based recipes, sculpting miniature foods, and whispering doppelgangers into existence. jeremycreature.etsy.com

For everyone saying this doesn't matter because ICE doesn't follow the law: 1. They want you to think knowing your rights makes no difference when we know for a fact it does. How do we know that? Because Homan himself said people knowing their rights cost then hundreds of arrests in Chicago.

I think the most frustrating thing about Biden arming Israel with every weapon he could find was how avoidable it was. There were thousands of viable excuses he could have used! Congress, the Parliamentarian, Leahy laws, the deficit, not wanting to hurt the hostages.

Looks like the Disability Studies Reader textbook is dodgy as heck; authors' content mis-edited and not removed when authors asked for it to be removed, and now sneakily published n years later. Don't promote or cite this badness. This is academic and publishing misconduct.

Why did I just read the phrase "trying to automate sociopathy" as though that is a thing that has meaning or could happen? You could just say "automate social harm" and not pretend it's related to a psychiatric diagnosis in any way. Not that sociopathy is a psych diagnosis, because it isn't.

A lot of exchanges about AI that I see are someone whose work I deeply admire saying "I don't use AI for XYZ ethical/environmental/labor/not helpful reasons" and then a lot of the well, actually responses are like "i ethically trained an LLM on my own writing, and now i can use it to resize my font"

Last time I told some home truths about Gavin, I picked up some Blue MAGA blocks. So here's another chance for y'all, because ya boy? He's got no ethics, no morals, no spine, and no decency. And he's planning on running for president.

Learning that X is poisoning an almost-entirely Black community with natural gas fumes so groypers can tell Grok to undress random women is a perfect metaphor for the tech industry and how it turns human bodies back into extractive industry. Also: we should do public executions, I think.

GOOD NEWS! Moderna’s combination COVID/influenza vaccine candidate mRNA-1083 has OUTPERFORMED the current standalone vaccines for BOTH viruses in a large (8000+) Phase III trial. A combination vaccine would make it easier for people to get vaccinated against COVID and influenza at the same time. 🧪🧵⬇️

I keep thinking the reason people are so eager to believe the "lab leak" is because they cannot cope with the reality of nature: diseases make the jump from animals to humans all the time, and we are awfully unquestionably vulnerable to those moments. People don't want to acknowledge this.
