This is 100% the next step for a society that has collapsed any semblance of a social safety net and has broken down regulations, public health and any other measures that would lessen epigenetic contributors to disability. Sicken and debilitate people, then call them useless eaters and eliminate

News is overwhelming. People offline don't understand what's happening. Their rights are being pulled out from under them. Print out these flyers and take it to the streets. Featuring a QR cosd that links to explainer and action items. www.disability-rights-watch.com/2025/02/12/t...

Helping keep people alive the state would rather socially (or actively) murder is anti-fascist work. If you're just helping one other person stay ok, you're doing the work. If you decide to start masking in public spaces again and gently nudge your friends to do the same, you're doing the work.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: If disabled people aren't included in your revolution, it's not a true revolution.

I was interviewed by Boulder Weekly about being Covid cautious and my work with @covidsafecolorado.bsky.social! The editor-in-chief wrote the story and did a pretty good job of capturing the community. boulderweekly.com/news/covid-s... Ignore the pronoun blip in the first line. Win some/lose some.

I miss the Fletcher Free Library in Burlington, VT and I also loved the Oakland library system. But the Denver libraries are pretty great!

I have used it and it helped me!

Today is the sharpest 1-week relative increase in Covid transmission (54%) since the BA.1. Omicron surge in December 2021.

Director-General of the @who.int Dr. Tedros at a media briefing on 12/10/2024: “We cannot talk about COVID in the past tense. It’s still with us, it still causes acute disease & #LongCOVID and it still kills…The world might want to forget about COVID-19, but we cannot afford to.”  👉 bit.ly/4ixOBnG

Please tell your kids, every damn day if necessary, that chatGPT is not a goddamn search engine and you shouldn’t believe a word it says. Tell the adults too, but it’s especially imperative to inoculate kids against this

I appreciate @mattmcgorry.bsky.social so much for his Long Covid and disability justice advocacy, and the fact that he shouted out mask blocs in this interview! www.theguardian.com/wellness/ng-...

Have you noticed new allergies since covid? Food or alcohol intolerances? Random rashes, issues with hot and cold, burning skin, hives or other unexplained ear nose and throat symptoms? It could be MCAS - the impossibly hard to diagnose syndrome where you’re allergic to everything AND nothing:

Seems like something we didn’t need a study to confirm. Universal masking and screenings must return to all hospitals!

This was one of the best books I read this year. Highly recommend.

Right now I'm reading Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake and it inspired two different picture book ideas. I love when that happens.

Looking for a gift for your covid-informed friends/family? The zine I co-edited, The Covid Logs, is a gorgeous collection of prose, poetry, and art from the disabled and chronically ill community. thecovidlogs.com #CovidCautious #StillMasking

If, for whatever reason, you don't feel like you can contact your reps, at least share this. Disabled people are about to be more cut off from the world than we already are. #disabled #disability #disabilityJustice

One of my favorite fungi!

Just sent in my application. Who else is throwing their hat in the ring for a #12x12PB scholarship? They're due on Saturday!

Ableism is telling disabled people to stay home forever. Ableism is telling disabled people we’re not trying hard enough. Ableism is putting all the blame on disabled people rather than blaming the system that makes it so we can’t access the world.

I hate that I can't consume any form of news without being hit repeatedly over the head with "during covid". "During covid" is right now!

Show me your pet and who/what they’re named for.

Made a starter pack for #COVIDConscious friends and folks who I follow for COVID info! Please let me know who I should add 🫡 😷

Repeat after me: You are not a burden for being disabled.
