This #LongCovid stuff is intense. Shower and sitting up for lunch results in needing a nap. Pacing the best I can. And my body has other opinions.

Don't forget to add alt text on Instagram and Facebook, too. When you forget, the auto-generated alt text is not as helpful, complete, or accurate as human-written alt text. A.I. can't know the purpose of a photo. Always add your own alt text on Instagram and Facebook.

So many elders and disabled people are being forced out of their homes by poverty and lack of social supports, especially in high cost of living areas. It's disgusting.

FAVORITE READ OF 2024: August - Care Work by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha I loved this book so much. I learned a lot, cried a little, and man this book makes you really think. Disability justice is for everyone. #booksky

Discworld QOTD, from The Truth “Ah," said Mr Pin. "Right. I remember. You are concerned citizens." He knew about concerned citizens. Wherever they were, they all spoke the same private language, where 'traditional values' meant 'hang someone'.”

What if instead of driving to be the “best”, “most powerful” and “richest” nation we strive to be the healthiest, most educated and helpful nation? 🤔

Holiday spirit, Shelly Girl style. Since I'm not into any of the winter festivities this year, my style feels like perfect match.

"Race is a distraction from class consciousness" I mean, sure, yeah, in the sense that being stabbed in the back is a "distraction" from the gun pointed at your head, but you still need the stabbing to stop before you can worry about the gun.

Personally I would be more willing to pay for a social media website that made protecting marginalized people a core part of its business than one that offers them up as bait for bigots. That's my preference
