Thanks for the remembrance post for Judith Heumann. She was one of my warrior women inspirations. Cried when I heard we lost her. Definitely a Badass.

All I can say is, Nixon will never again be considered the worst president ever
🍊💩🎱 Has taken his place 🤨

Wow. As bad as Nixon was (and make no mistake-he was BAD), there are a few things he did which were good, including establishing the EPA. Now imagine the orange cult leader being as empathetic as Nixon on any issue. Not gonna happen. I know. It’s deplorable and disgusting. Do not obey in advance!💪🏽

I WILL NEVER OBEY 🍊💩🎱 HITLER

He’ll never do anything that’s not in service to himself. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I miss Nixon. At least he wasn’t trying to destroy everything.

YES!!!

There's a fabulous movie, Crip Camp about her and other disabled activists. Worth watching.

momazonrises.bsky.social•66 days ago

I will definitely check that out. Thank you so much.

felicenj.bsky.social•66 days ago

It's on Netflix.

I just finished her autobiography: Being Heumann. She was awesome 😎💝

momazonrises.bsky.social•67 days ago

That is awesome. I need to check that out.

My local library had it, no wait list 💝

Thank you for reminding me about libraries. I keep buying books. I’m so silly that I don’t go check them out at the library. I’m going to go get a library card.

Having a library card and going into a library and checking out books or merely pulling a book off the shel and putting it the “refile “ cart ad well as using their ebook/audiobook services boosts their ‘use stats’ for funding. And they offer so many more services these days ❣️

I just messaged my husband & asked him to take me to the library tomorrow after my doctor’s appt so I can get a library card. I’m so excited. I no longer drive because of my illnesses.
