Malicious compliance works. Annoy them, delay them, do whatever you can -- it doesn't have to be a big thing to make a big difference!

A stealth photo of Sophie's delightful chonky tummy! #caturday

True, this soda bread is underbaked and should have a nice, dark crusty exterior. I just happen to prefer it like this. This recipe and I are old friends, so we don't necessarily use the same rules as others might. Any Irish soda bread fans out here? What's your favorite thing about it? #sodabread

The word is eugenics. Disabled and elderly -- "the weak" -- are left behind by everyone, consistently. But *this* is part of current acts aimed intentionally to eliminate "the weak". Yeah, I take that really personally, all things considered.

We set up a concentration camp for asylum seekers in the Panama jungle. We set up a concentration camp for asylum seekers in the Panama jungle. We set up a concentration camp for asylum seekers in the Panama jungle.

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

27 GOP members of Congress are on the fence about the budget bc they know cuts to Medicaid will be disastrous for their states. If you have a GOP rep, call and email NOW and say what a terrible idea cutting Medicaid is + if they support it now, they lose your support in the midterms. 202-224-3121.

Welp. Knew something like this was coming. It's starting to make me feel Cassandra-esque, but it's probably just that 'tism ability to spot patterns. Horrible person that I am and all.

My very first milk jug seed sow! I'm so excited! These green babies are rosemary seeds. Look at all this lovely snow we have, too! It's very pretty outside. 🌱 #zone5a #midwestgardening

Mask bans kill disabled people. It’s a eugenics tool. By others not masking in solidarity, you’re saying your comfort and convenience is more important than our lives. Abled comfort and convenience do not outweigh disabled lives and safety. Does your “we keep us safe” include disabled people?

Lived in that area for a decade and raised a kid there. Our unhoused neighbors were some of our favorite neighbors, being kind, good-hearted folk. We'd chat, share snacks - kiddo loved giving favorite fruits out - just be people together. I often miss them and think of them, hoping they're well.

Neoliberals are going absolutely gooey over Pete Buttigieg again. Can we PLEASE stop having these yahoos shoved down our throats and get someone who does more than just talk?

Thank you to everyone who has joined the resistance! Our ranks grow stronger every day.

Me: RFK Jr. is going to send Disabled folk to labor camps, and many of us likely won't survive. Trump wants to send immigrants to a concentration camp at Guantanimo. I am terrified of what their plans are for the Trans community. Liberals: "It's okay. There will be rebuilding, but we'll be fine."

Caturday means make a lap, Mom! I'm trying to do some mending, Sophie. Lap! Meow! #cats #caturday #visiblemending

I got such a rush of dopamine from finishing my project that I had to share it, in the hopes of finding fellow repair geeks. These silver and white pretties are going to be a front panel insert for a dress I'm altering to fit! #needlework #sashiko #visiblemending

It's true though

Sophie said she'd be my Valentine. I really appreciate that. Being loved by a black hole is pretty impressive! #cats #voidcats

Once again, I will point out that glasses and contacts are accessibility aids. They are simply socially acceptable. Imagine if you couldn't work if you required vision correcting lenses?

My wife and I refused to get married before Obergefell because we understood just how important that piece of paper was to our loved ones who were denied it.

Just so we're clear: Fighting this in the courts is necessary and appropriate. Opposition in the chambers of Congress, too. But it is not *enough* and we all need to recognize this. This is a constitutional crisis. The rule of law has been suspended. This isn't *won* in the courts.

Constitutional crisis: just like porn-you’ll know it when you see it. Trust me, we see it. 😬
