A reminder that this and the language settings are *per device* and reset often because duct tape and string ass website. Check them often and make sure they are on

There are more billionaires in Trump's administration than there are US collegiate trans athletes. Only one of those things is a real problem, and it ain't the sports one.

@dananessel.bsky.social why isn’t Michigan on this list? will you be issuing a similar statement soon?

i do actually hold the moral high ground for opposing war sorry that's the way it works

I have barely enough money for food and need to refill my meds, if anyone can spare anything to help I'd be eternally grateful #transaid #mutalaid Ko-fi.com/ddaisy

Hi, I am @motherjones.com' disability reporter. In the following weeks, I am very interested in hearing how tariff nonsense impacts getting your meds and medical equipment. My email to get in touch is [email protected]. Reposts appreciated.

If someone who voted for him is now suffering as a direct result, don’t gloat. Invite them to organize with you. The cruelty may have been his point, but it should never be yours.

Please notice that they have also added "accessibility," as a category the Federal Government will now apparently be fully defunding, in open violation of their legal requirements and the law itself.

✨❗🔔 hi all-friend's trans gf is being told she has to leave canada by feb 22 unless she can find employment that can sponsor her for CA work visa. 10+YOE engineer in app and games development, last gig was 3 years at Unity - entire division laid off.plz share far and wide, dm for her resume/linkedin

Don’t underestimate the impact you’re making when you choose to wear a mask. You’re protecting your health & the health of your community. You’re helping ease the burden on our healthcare system. You’re standing in solidarity with disabled people & telling the government that no one is expendable

existential dread tides of the universe trying to stop me from loving being alive, and i just never will. i see joy and love and beauty everywhere i look, bitch, fuck you

If you’re in a chronic illness flare up today …please consider that the news may be triggering it. Even if you’re trying to avoid it. Even if you “think” it’s not impacting you. Our bodies are strange & mysterious and they KNOW when things are bad. Set boundaries. Be gentle. Try & find joy.

Hi, hey, hello-- trying to build a feed here filled with the #disability community, so if that's you, please let me know! go.bsky.app/U1Am3ge (Currently going off of bios, but happy to remove anyone who's already been added)

I unexpectedly lost my medical coverage. Please share, it could lead to my next sale! So I can cover my medical bills. I sell pins, compression gloves, artist gloves, chest binders, wrist braces, hip braces, hoodies, skorts, compression socks & more! Store details below!

If you've noticed a lot of absolute garbage driving recently and have chided yourself, "Surely this normal; we always think things are worse than they used to be (kids, drivers, movies, whatever." NO, it's not normal, it's COVID, and you were right—there is a knock-on pandemic of shitty driving.

To anyone uninformed who would ever be tempted to say how "easy" it is to get on SSDI ...the system is designed to kill people so the government doesn't have to pay out as much. This is not hyperbole, these are facts, these are numbers. These were all people who deserved fucking better.

A great list of tips! We usually end up visiting my family outside with us masked for about 30 minutes before they go in to eat. This actually saves me a lot of energy because 30 minutes is usually enough for me.

FYI anyone who's been wanting an Oura ring but waiting for a sale; they're launching a Gen 4 ring so the Gen 3 ring is now on sale for $299. (Monthly app subscription cost is $5.99.) I can't say enough good things about mine and the role it plays in managing my illness, happy to answer questions.

I don’t post about this often and I know I’m not first or last to this party but let me say It’s really not remotely ok to have your humanity, your right to self-determination and bodily autonomy treated as a topic for political discourse like some cute intellectual and philosophical exercise

maybe give the longshoremen what they want

Humbly begging you to call your reps about this. We lost a tremendous human in Tinu because Long Covid is like pouring gasoline on a Cancer fire. I take 12 meds, 9 vitamins, a steroid inhaler, albuterol, a monthly IV infusion, and a weekly injection JUST to be somewhat functional. We need help.

There's gonna be all kinds of dipshit news stories if the International Longshoremen's Association (the dockworkers' union) calls a work stop at midnight when their contracts expire on the East and Gulf coasts, which they've said they'll do (and good for them). Some prebuttals:

🚨🚨 It’s the quarter final and MEAT ROCK is inching its way towards victory. VOTE RHODOCHROSITE! MEAT ROCK FTW!! 🚨🚨 www.mineralcup.org/2024/vote/r3m3

the person who would step in as acting mayor is jumaane williams and he’s vocally pro masking as a covid precaution what’s going on why are good things happening-

It's weird that people think that if they had a time machine travelling back and warning anybody about anything would help

Imagine having the good fortune to have a normal human amount of energy (so like, not sick with a severely energy-limited illness) and to choose to squander your privileged life being a racist shitbag

"tits or ass"? bro, the undeniable passion she has for her special interests in the face of a world which tries to kill that spark

I have used the spoons that were meant For work and which I was probably saving for being productive Forgive me they were needed For my clothes and makeup today

Personally I think the threshold for holding someone accountable for threats & incitement should be on a sliding scale where the more power and influence you have, the lower the threshold. Even lower if your fan base skews hateful & armed. It’s maddening watching the sliding scale go the wrong way.

Whenever I talk about a proper socialist society, I don't just talk about food, water, housing, healthcare, etc, being free, I always make sure to talk about inclusive infrastructure, because a society isn't socialist if it isn't inclusive to one and all, especially people living with disabilities.

In a study in Finnish daycare centers, researchers found that air purifiers decreased children's illnesses by as much as 18.2 percent. We must pass legislation that incentivizes and requires clean indoor air. yle-fi.translate.goog/a/74-2008967...

Done! The form is super easy to fill out. I wrote that they should make Covid boosters available regardless of age and pre-existing conditions. So many people will refuse no matter what, and it makes sense to make it easy for those of us who actually want the shots.

I don’t think anything about the pandemic has disillusioned me more than watching healthcare facilities drop masking requirements.
