Ableism & saneism can be weaponized against anyone who’s undesirable for any reason. Not being disabled is no protection bc not only can anyone become disabled at any time, authorities can declare anyone disabled at any time. And bc the public is so down with ableism, they usually get away with it

more and more these days, I find myself thinking that you can accept the discipline of your political goals or you can accept the discipline of your resentments.

🌱 Something every experienced gardener knows - there are seasons that are dark, cold, even treacherous. But the gardener moves forward, planting seed after seed, more than necessary, planning for the return of a beautiful #garden. Cultivate beauty's gradual return - one seed at a time. #Zone8b

Every single stupid conversation I’ve had with a scientist about anticipatory obedience and historical comparisons over the last week has had me thinking about how scientists’ political incompetence is one of the major arguments for a liberal arts education Like you’re literally a tool without it

In the coming weeks, trans civil rights is going to come down to $'s. The federal $'s the organizations don't want to give up. Watch as they nearly all fold, telling themselves that sacrificing a few on the margins protects the herd, all while the wolves divide the herd and tear it apart.

Y'all pick a lane. Then make a little progress in your lane each day. Every serious, experienced organizer I know is Doing Their Thing. Instead of freaking out about each bit of bad news, we're in our lanes rapidly building dual power infrastructure and networks that don't rely on the goverment.

Ursula Franklin—technology thinker, physicist, metallurgist, Quaker, and committed pacifist—is one of the people whose work I return to the most when things are bad. I tried to write about her great short checklist for making decisions about technology and I ended up writing a whole post […]

This is HCI! HCI faculty being asked not to care about "justice" is absurd. How can we do research that focuses on "humans" at all? We're being asked to just do CI research now. The H is going to be too woke. Also: being asked to reframe/remove details about award winning papers is so awful.

I am making sure to donate to @archive.org because many of the sources I was using for a few projects disappeared due to the removal of federal pages on accessibility. However, the Wayback Machine ensures I can still access the information.

“Deport them all”, “White lives matter”: messages on signs in St. Albert this weekend held by losers making N*zi salutes. Don’t minimize this, Alberta. Call this shit out. Every time you see it. That means our political leaders too. I’m looking at you, Danielle Smith.

The Alberta Government now wants to allow coal mining in the Eastern Slopes of the Rocky Mountains. Coal mining. COAL MINING! IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS! They tried this is 2020 but backed down due to huge public outrage. They’re now trying again. Spread the word. Let them hear you.

I want to remind everyone that your local library is both physical AND digital. You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library. You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library. You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library. You want sourced info? Library.

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them. Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is. Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

So when it comes to "grow community locally" stuff, here's something non-Disabled folks especially have to figure out how to counter. There is a long-standing pattern where chronically ill people, even those who previously had extensive support networks and community, are abandoned and isolated.

This is a good time to pay more attention to eco-fascism within climate spaces People whose modus operandi is (a) intensifying the already real emotional hit of disaster, and then (b) telling you that you are helpless to mitigate or manage those disasters are buttering you up for fascist messaging

Media and digital literacy are key to disrupting disinformation. --clapping back/arguing just helps to amplify bad faith accounts & false material --don't share "funny" disinfo to dunk on it; some will still believe it --BLOCK, REPORT, and tell others to do same without sharing disinfo content

Researchers found 15 people in Kansas City who had changed their mind about climate change, and asked them why. Fascinating! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Unpopular to say, I'm sure but individuals being overly concerned about the "scale" of their actions often get in their own way. The "scale" matters less than you ACTUALLY taking considered action. Our cumulative actions are barely perceptible to us in the present but they matter if only to us.

You might not think you're in the 1%, but "the richest 1% – about 77 million people, including all those earning more than $140,000 (£114,000) a year – are responsible for more than twice as much carbon pollution each year as the poorest half of humanity."

No, the world has not breached the 1.5C global warming target. It’s a climate target - which means it’s an average that must be sustained over at least a decade. We currently sit at 1.2 C. Which is already very bad. The science is clear: every bit of warming matters, every action matters.
