ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available? It's literally called Library Extension.

Being high risk and disabled right now feels a little like playing Jumanji

Publishing a book in the middle of a f@scist coup feels like the worst timing in the world. But then I think about why I wrote it and for whom, and realize the timing was fated.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

I used to answer phones and log email and physical mail in a congressional office and can confirm It's getting logged in the same system. What members and senior staff see is the total tally. And the email inbox won't get "full" from non- constituents preventing you from getting your voice heard

I think it’s jarring to realize that republicans aren’t fighting back because *they don’t want to.* They WANT this. They’re standing by this on purpose. Cruelty is the point.

If you’ve read my Love Me Dead series, then you know about my character Amber, who is an homage to my beautiful friend. She has made the heartbreaking decision to move to hospice and could use our help. Please consider donating or sharing 🩷 www.gofundme.com/f/support-ou...

History: “Eventually the incompetent fascists invariably lose power and then society recovers in a new and stronger way” Me: “Oh, cool, so what has to happen for the spell to be broken??” History: “mmmm…well, that part is less encouraging.”

Another day, another attempted mask ban. This time in Maryland. Please, if you stopped masking we really need you to start again. It will reduce the number of Covid and flu cases, but it will also help normalize masks as a health tool. Disabled people need you to help fight these ugly laws:

A fourth person I love and adore entered hospice last night. 2025 already feels unbearable and it’s only February.

Many hesitate to use the word “disability” because society often equates it with something wrong or bad, while being “normal” — meaning able-bodied — is seen as ideal. This thinking fuels ableism… hemophilianewstoday.com/columns/say-...

This Valentine's Day, my column talks about love in multiple forms. My grandma has been moved into hospice, and I'm lucky enough to be with her and the family this week. But my hypopara still has the final say at the end of the day. hypoparathyroidismnews.com/columns/hypo... #hypopara #love
