A reminder to my disabled friends. Your value is not based on your productivity. Your bodies & minds are valid, beautiful & important just as they are. You are worthy of love, deserve comfort, joy and safety. We will fight ableist narratives about our lives. You're not alone #DisabilityJustice

I had the opportunity to go to CSUN this year but I didn't, for a number of reasons. I am curious to hear how many people in attendance chose to mask, and if there was literally any COVID-safer efforts happening.

It’s Long COVID Awareness Day, and I want to thank @zeteo.com for inviting me to write about it! Politicians & media can’t keep pushing endless COVID reinfections as an acceptable condition of our “new normal”- while failing to communicate the risks. zeteo.com/p/denying-th...

“The Giver,” which Chappell Roan debuted on ‘SNL’ last fall, is finally out. “I just think a lesbian country song is really funny,” she says. “I wrote a country song not to invade country music, but to really capture what I think the essence of country music is for me.”

digital accessibility things that are irritating me this week: encountering the phrase "no alt text provided for this image," QR codes used inappropriately, campaign assets with obvious contrast issues, and communicating with poorly designed PDFs instead of with well-designed emails or webpages.

This International Women’s Day, remember that women are disproportionately impacted by many chronic illnesses. We’re more likely to be abandoned by our spouse/partner when we become disabled, and mistreated/gaslit by the medical profession Women’s rights & disability rights are uniquely intertwined

jaw and facial pain has been absolutely unrelenting in recent days. stress is a factor, of course. I’m having a hard time balancing being informed with protecting my health. it’s probably best that I log off.

the many-years-outdated Twitter and Instagram logos in Gary Peters’ email footer is a hilarious detail to me. hilarious in a sad way that represents a slow moving and out of touch entity. (seriously it is the IG logo that was phased out in 2016.)

my sister and I arrived back at my house after a trip to Livonia to see my grandma’s art exhibit, and she was compelled to make a snowball in the driveway to see if she could throw it and hit the tree. I joined in. and my house camera captured it all on video, truly love that. sister joy!
