Making America Gross Again.

It's interesting that Paradise, Severance, and Silo are hit shows about a group of people trapped in a controlled environment by a group of rich people who are lying to them about the basic structure of their reality. Probably says a lot about where we're at as a people!

I don’t want to read about a former President’s mental decline because a journalist got a book deal. I want to read a report about the current President’s mental decline by a journalist brave enough to speak out now.

It would be stupid not to accept a gift of a free plane? Donold, let me tell you a story about a wooden horse...

You're one accident, fall or illness away from being disabled. Again, some of y'all vote like nothing will never happen to you, your kids or future grandkids...

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

IF YOU HAVEN’T READ IT DO YOURSELF A FAVOR!

The fact that the attorney general's last job before this one was lobbying for the Qataris is a little on the nose.

"I said at risk people should be socially isolated and lonely AND SHE SAID YES" If you're clutching your pearls that someone would say this, and right to a disabled person's face no less, please know that your maskless faces in public spaces say it just as loudly and proudly.

This is what it's come to. You all were so happy for the pandemic to be "over" that you never stopped to think about the fact that it isn't over and that acting as if it is has left countless people like Erin and me without any safety.

one of my *favorite* games is doing a scavenger hunt in your own home, such as: where's the iron?

Never assume that you know a stranger or a friend's financial situation. You don't. So if you ask for donations & people don't give, you really need to keep it moving. There are 1000 reasons why folks don't give and those reasons aren't your business. Thank those who do give & move on.

"Not today, motherfucker. Not today"

This is ableism. People see us as “less than”. They fear us because we’re a reminder that health isn’t permanent. You can become disabled at any time The desire to disappear us has only worsened since Covid began Now we remind people of the pandemic, which they’re all trying desperately to ignore

Measles doesn’t just kill, it also disables. We know what RFK Jr thinks of the disabled and chronically ill. It’s “ok” if they die from preventable illness because they were weak and thus expendable. He’s responsible for disabling MORE children, who he will then say don’t deserve to live

I just got wished a Happy Mother's Day for the 1st time. I'm not a bio mom, or a mom by adoption. But someone loves me enough, & feels loved and cared for by me enough, to want to call me mom. This is perhaps the highest honor anyone has ever given me. Anyone can have a kid, mine chose me. 🥹🥹🥹

1/2 Just-dismissed Librarian of Congress, Dr. Carla Hayden, has a PhD from U Chicago, is in numerous scholarly societies, has wide acclaim. She is also first African-American to lead LoC. The dismissal note did not say "Dear Dr. Hayden" or "Dear Madame Librarian" or even "Dear Carla."

One year ago today (well *very* early this morning) the aurora borealis erupted over Northern Illinois

Tattoos, because being an adult is hard and I deserve stickers.

I’ve worked around autism researchers whom regularly used the “r”word. Including yelling it at their autistic peers & students. 👀Yall can say what you want but I know many HEALTH scientists are fascists too. They will then play like “i care about the CHILDRRNr”. HYPOCRITES.

Got into a fight with a NURSE who we asked to give us a little distance when we were at a picnic table eating. We told her we’re were trying to be Covid safe because I’m at risk. She said I should have just stayed home. I said at risk people should be socially isolated and lonely AND SHE SAID YES

Virginia Republican Governor Youngkin gets walked out on by College Graduates of VCU today. 11052025 He was saluted by some of them with the middle finger which maybe means he's No. 1. www.youtube.com/shorts/6jkhw...

Please don't put in the newspaper that 28 children laughed at me

"You get two dolls and some pencils. I get a golden 747 jumbo jet. See? You get more things than I do. When was the last time you said 'Thank you, Mr. President'?"

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: “no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

The container ships coming from China are nonexistent and the passenger planes coming from Canada are empty. Donny, you're doing a heck of a job!

No one plans to become chronically ill. It’s not something people expect will happen, in fact most folks believe they will be the exception should disability ever befall them. They will “try harder” and overcome. They will find help where the rest of us have failed. It doesn’t work like that.

“Surely you can just go into a home?” First, care homes are not easy to find, especially for young people with complex chronic illness. Second, when did people start jumping right to institutionalizing disabled people again? We both want & deserve to live independently for as long as possible
