Flexible/remote work is good, actually! When executives can’t make it work for their company, that’s a problem of leadership. Return to office mandates are about real estate costs and shitty bosses covering their asses - no matter what excuse they give. farmingdale-observer.com/2025/05/16/s...

Just gonna also point out as one of those "perfect pts" who can recite my entire (deeply complex) Hx from birth that I am perpetually dismissed by doctors for knowing too much & accused of "spending too much time on Dr. Google". I'm starting to think a lot of docs (not OP ofc) just fuckin hate pts.

This is where we are with covid. People across the political spectrum have adopted the view that disabled/high risk people bear the full responsibility for staying safe, that there’s no shared communal responsibility, because our lives are worth less. If we die or are forced out of society, so be it

RFK Jr has slashed billions in research & public health funding, supports slashing Medicaid, & intends to delay or shut down new vaccine authorizations. Even if we could take him at his word on Long COVID (we can't), his pro-eugenics policies are still devastating to disabled & chronically ill folks

I’m coming to believe that allergies are proof that there IS a god and he’s a prude about plant sex. Because it's just a bonkers design flaw plants doing their normal plant thing makes me want to gouge my eyeballs out of my face

MOBILITY AIDS ARE GOOD, ACTUALLY. I need y'all to decouple physical mobility from cognitive ability. They are wholly separate things, and the implication that possible wheelchair use signaled a decline in Biden's ability to carry out the duties of the presidency is ableist and deeply harmful.

when i worked in the senate, my friend worked at the washington national opera and routinely got free tickets. i had to get special dispensation from the senate ethics committee to see peter grimes with him by proving that my friend did no lobbying and our friendship was wholly unrelated to my work

The first & most important point is that this is a cruel, brutal policy that will cause great harm & solve nothing except maybe appeasing his rich donors who don't like to be reminded that poor people exist. The secondary point is that it's dumb politics. Democrats don't win when they go MAGA-lite.

Of course! We are in an ongoing pandemic and I don't know how people who refuse to take precautions can live with themselves knowing that they're potentially infecting and killing/permanently disabling those around them.

I wish this were an isolated thing (so sorry this happened to you, Erin), but healthcare workers are the absolute worst about this and I don’t think normies realize the way this aggression wears on disabled folks.

If you want to understand the lengths insurance companies will go to deny legitimate disability claims, read this powerful piece all the way through. (You could tell the same story for workers' comp as well.) wapo.st/44yZ8KS

Eugenics

Something that immunocompromised people can never forget is how we felt when we saw everyone abandon us when they all removed their masks in 2022 They didn’t care about our health or mental health They believed the government’s ableist & eugenicist lies because it sounded like “good news” to them

Interesting piece which reveals a lot of the tech bro ignorance of government: DOGEr comes in, expects to find lots of inefficiency, is at least willing to acknowledge he was wrong unlike the hard core ideologues.

Impossible to communicate to people that once you decide that a group more vulnerable than you can be sacrificed in the name of your own safety or interests that you have already entered into an tacit agreement that you can also be sacrificed in the interests of a group less vulnerable than you.

Nor is it “anxious” to take precautions not to get sick. It is entirely rational to not want to be sick, especially to be chronically sick.

As an update, I deeply regret my life choices. Mistakes were made. Hopefully this means my immune system is learning how to make some fucking awesome antibodies.

Do you want to to (1) actively resist fascism, (2) signal your resistance to fascism, (3) show solidarity with people being targeted by fascism? Wear a mask. A mask shows your willingness to not comply, your opposition to the eugenics agenda, and you're making spaces safer for vulnerable folks.

Republicans have been "on the verge of standing up to Trump" for a decade now. Centrist media loves this message but the reality is that Republicans have steadily purged opposition and are more dedicated to him than ever. Who gives a shit what they say in private.

Time for my biweekly HEY DO NOT SHARE THE R WORD post! It is a slur. Hitting people with it, even as a quote, is wrong. It is more than sufficient to say “the r word”. Disabled people are (and have been) under sustained assault. Do you maybe not want to add to that?

many people like me, caregivers for #pwME or #pwLC or sufferers themselves, were waiting for a sterilizing, universal nasal vaccine before we could dream of unmasking in public spaces again. there goes that! helpful to have spent 5 years adjusting to loss/paradigmatic change, but still sucks.

anyway if you're concerned about eugenics you should really be wearing a respirator in all indoor & crowded outdoor public spaces at a minimum. step up and do your part.

Very proud of the next generation of law students from my alma mater and excited to have these folks as colleagues in the years to come. It's a very brave thing to organize an effort like this, which came at the risk of alienating powerful forces in the profession they seek to join.

It is so unbelievably short-sighted for Democrats to be passing anti-protest legislation at this time. #NoNYMaskBan
