joke's on you I DID 'go cry about it' and compassion has made me more powerful

I want his life

Hemingway, evergreen

Stand with science. Always.

God bless

A day of getting run over by the US credit bureaucracy and I feel like the gray snow piled up on the side of the road.

Apologies for getting a bit political on main tonight. I think this cartoon sums it up.

For the people in the back…

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

I feel like every time I log into Facebook, it’s a little bit worse than before.

One thing that isn’t talked about enough is how closely tied disability can be to homelessness. Many disabled people are forced into poverty in order to keep their medical benefits. By doing so, the income they receive isn’t enough to live off of. This isn’t a moral failing, it’s the system’s fault.

Financial statement today reminded me HOW GREAT IT IS when folks request that their libraries acquire books. 😍 Seriously, if you want a totally free-to-you way to help an author, submit a request with your local library. Those sales help us so much, in whatever format.

May not have been a white Christmas but all the rain brought out some #FungiFriends

The options I’m looking for at the end of 2024

Common sense laws and basic human rights to benefit everyone, even the poorest among us! It really is that simple!!

Free textbooks for Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, Arabic, Swahili, and more! 🌍📚 Great for students and teachers. #LangSky 🔗 open.umn.edu/opentextbook...

I love her so much it hurts

So trans people are too mean online and Palestinians are too annoying online and Black people are too anti-white online and I'm just wondering what is the correct way to politely request that you stop being oppressed? Just wondering.

I think I have the opposite of seasonal affective disorder because I'm really gonna miss all the darkness

If you see anyone talking about how the Amazon strike could disrupt the flow of packages:

Actually it’s always darkest halfway between dusk and dawn.

More people need to realize that dystopian fiction is based on real things that have happened or are happening still. It’s not “this could happen if we’re not careful.” It’s “this is already happening outside your bubble of privilege.”

I woke up like dis

Nationwide manhunts and 1-800 tip lines to protect CEOs. Thoughts and prayers to protect your children.

The delight I feel when I see a quote that adds alt text getting way more engagement than the original that lacked alt text… not disability pride but disability VENGEANCE.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends: 1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration; 2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you; 3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

She’s too perfect. It’s suspicious.

“this is a permanent political realignment and we are doomed to the fringes of minority forever” has never once been true in the history of American politics and I don’t think it’s going to start now there’s a lot of work to do but that’s no reason to give up

We, too, could have nice things if we collectively demanded them.

Writing is an act of rebellion. Writing is an act of creation. Writing is an act of salvation. Writing is an act of exploration. Writing is an act of emotion. Writing is an act of confession. Writing is an act of speculation. Writing is an act of reflection. Keep writing.

We DO NOT throw perfectly good food away in this house. We put leftovers in a Tupperware & let it go bad, THEN throw it out!

In case you're wondering why disabled people ask you to wear masks: I caught a cold from a sick opposing counsel who opted not to mask in a courtroom. I'm immunosuppressed. Now I have bronchial pneumonia, an ear infection, a sinus infection, and tonsillitis. From a cold.

It’s here!!!

Thou shalt not kill' also means 'thou shalt not let profit margins decide who lives and who dies.'

Billionaires trying to convince us that homelessness isn’t real is a new level of disgusting.

Exactly

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit. But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it. Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

"You think CEOs should be shot and we should be okay with it?“ No, I think we should examine whether a society is really working when people feel so trapped their only recourse is to shoot CEOs and why we're okay with THAT.
