I don't know that folks who haven't been paying attention realize how extremely powerful social media has been for allowing Disabled people who are otherwise isolated and excluded for so many reasons to connect and share ideas and be heard.

You can't both shove Disabled people out of offline spaces and then say "online discussion of how not to be a harmful person isn't praxis".
I mean, you can but you're being an asshole.
And for many Disabled people, those offline spaces were never accessible. It's not just masking.

At least half these reporters are Disabled, which provides them important insight and cultural competency. But nondisabled reporters can also put in the effort to learn how to cover disability well and respectfully. Check out discojourno.com for resources, or contact us for newsroom training. 9/

And for @motherjones.com, @metrauxjulia.bsky.social reported on California’s earlier failures in accessible disaster preparation, the importance of neighborhood care, the very different needs people with different disabilities have, and how any help is better than none. 8/

Megan also reported on the challenges Disabled folks face after disasters like the fires, like lack of electricity, inaccessible transportation, being able to find safe housing, and a need for continued connection with their communities. 7/

For @todayshow.com, health reporter Megan Holohan shared the minute details Disabled people have to prepare before disasters like the fires, and how Disabled residents still have to have their own personal emergency plans – in case official public entities don’t warn them or don’t show up. 6/

For @huffpost.com, @brittanywong.huffpost.com delved into the paucity of public/governmental emergency action to help Disabled residents, intersectionality impacting Disabled folks during disasters, and how localities and states can center Disabled participants in planning for future disasters. 4/

From Sonja’s piece: “Officials have known for years that disabled Californians are disproportionately likely to die in wildfires. The state released a scathing audit in 2019 detailing how emergency management agencies and other first responders were unprepared for the threat.” 3/

For the @latimes.com, Sonja Sharp wrote about a Disabled father-son duo who called for help that never came, Anthony Mitchell Sr. (an amputee wheelchair-user) and Justin Mitchell (who had cerebral palsy). Sonja focused on humanizing the Mitchells and interrogating why they were left to die. 2/

Well which one?
The GM or PM?

I first learned Chumbawamba were goated when they struck a deal with GM for use of one of their songs, then gave all the money to activist groups who launched a campaign against GM.
And also when they dunked on a PM that one time.

You're def on the trail about the fractured state of leftist spaces.
But you're still an asshole for being ignorant. You ARE blaming workers, when so much of what is "obvious" is made difficult to find and read by design.
That's why 'suckers' exist, and why corps make billions off labour.

Pot calling the kettle black here, and also readily judging someone who gave an honests take.

AI/ML's only a toolbox later adopted by corps to exploit, abuse and replace human labour.
It's really irritating how dumb AI discourse is more than anything else. The problem is not with computers. It's power and our stupid systems.

Yep, medicine and assorted things used in gender-affirming care is also used by cis people. Hormome imbalances are a thing.
It really is institutional transphobia at the end of it.

Has a darker meaning ever since it came out that Cedric's wife was assaulted by Danny Materson, though it could be a coincidence all things considered
