““None of this war on disabled people is necessary if Labour went after the real cheats – the tax avoiders and evaders and the billionaires just getting richer by the day just for being rich while disabled people are labelled and scapegoated for a crisis not of our making.”

My 'differing political views' are - should it be state run care for everyone or no state at all? In the meantime, should the extra funding go to the public libraries or the local parks? Where should the food bank money come from? Not - who gets to be people?

here's the thing, right-- it's just straightforwardly obvious that if what you care about is making sure everyone who theoretically CAN work and contribute to society Does Do That, the way to go is a robust welfare state

i am developmentally disabled, and also have OCD, chronic migraines, & a connective tissue disorder. once i aged out of my dad's extremely good work insurance, medicaid really saved my bacon. especially since, if i'm going to work at all, i absolutely need medications to function.

I never knew the details of how the kids in the 2018 Thai cave crisis were rescued and, holy cow. They were drugged unconscious and hauled underwater. Journey took 2-3 hours.

As far as I know Adam Golaski doesn’t do social media at all, never mind somewhere as newfangled as here. BUT this book is one of the best weird fiction collections of the year, so I’m gonna post it for you all regardless of what he’d think:

For my money, this collection of stories by Adam Golaski is some of the absolute scariest horror and weird fiction i've ever read. Cannot recommend it enough. The story "The Animator's House" is an all-timer, reminding me of some of Al Columbia's work.

Two months ago, folk from the village began to suddenly go missing. While half-hearted search attempts were made, the other townsfolk quickly accepted their missing neighbors to be poor souls claimed by the forest for committing some unknowable slight. One night, the lost folk began to return.

You can still get where you want to go if you are slow at writing, or inconsistent about writing, or have long periods of time when you're not able to write, even very small and very intermittent progress over a long period of time will still add up if you keep at it and don't give up on yourself

There’s no such thing as wasted time spent writing. Good work is, in most if not all cases, bad work retooled; writing is rewriting, as they say, so get to the first bit. Keep a mausoleum for any and all lines or ideas you cut, because when rehomed in new stories, they may prove to have been yr best
