I got denied for critical Botox injections today, and when I told my mom, she asked, "Was it a Luigi denial?" 🤣 She meant was it AI, and in this case, I found out it was a person. I like her terminology better though.

Chronic illness is just that… chronic. We may have good days & bad days … but we’re always sick When you say “what’s wrong with you now” or “are you better yet” you’re refusing to accept the reality of our disabilities. Our conditions don’t relent. There’s no break. There’s no “better”

If your argument is "sure, a terrible modern event has a parallel in the 1920s and 30s but don't worry we turned out just fine", might I suggest reading about the 1940s.

“You’re so lucky you don’t have to work!” Disability IS a full time job. Only you don’t get paid. You don’t have opportunity for advancement. You never get to earn more money. You spend every dime trying to stay alive. You live below the poverty line. You’re judged constantly. 🧵

Paul Martin, the inspector general for the USAID, has been fired after resisting the administration. Just a day ago, his office released a report warning that staff reductions and spending freezes put hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at risk of misuse and waste. This is the way.

One of the best pieces of writing advice I ever got: If a character is stupid, point out that they don't have a sense of humor. Making and getting jokes both require intelligence I think about that a lot

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing? DON'T DO IT. If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT. Document, document, document. Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

A3 Frequently people don't consider their age related conditions are actually disabilities, so marketing #Accessibility and Assistive Technology towards disability risks older people not seeing this as something relevant and useful for them. How we communicate the benefits needs to change #AXSChat

in addition to musk stealing the data for his own purposes, I imagine that they think they can simply shut off payments to whoever doesn’t comply. I would not be shocked if they tried to turn off Social Security for an entire state of course that’s dissolution of the union territory.

Do low vis individuals not deserve the news? Why are no news organizations on here using alt text? The way we as a society wake up every single morning and hate disabled people, first thing! Like every morning? You don't get tired?

Don’t assume this doesn’t affect you. Many of us fail to understand that we have disabilities, that our children do. The rights of people with disabilities are your rights, workers rights, students rights. www.disabilityscoop.com/2025/01/27/s...

I am tired of people saying and believing this. Our lives are not a game of chess and these leaders aren’t making brilliant political maneuvers. Please stop the delusions. It’s embarrassing.

I keep trying to follow people I forgot I already follow. If that's not a great vibe check, I don't know what is.

It doesn’t matter who says it It doesn’t matter how many people say it It doesn’t matter if politicians or mainstream media say it “Post-pandemic” & “pandemic is over” is misinformation & disinformation The World Health Organization acknowledged the ongoing COVID pandemic in December 2024 1/2
