Poignantly, first printing 100 years ago today: "They were careless people, Tom and Daisy – they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made."

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

Waking to this in a terrifying essay by US historian Heather Cox Richardson. But Matthew Parris in the Times says we should all stay calm and Trump is no Chamberlain so that’s all fine.

It took me years to admit to myself (and others) that I was disabled. My disabilities are invisible & I used a tremendous amount of energy keeping them hidden Ableism is powerful, and internalized ableism is a difficult thing to wrestle with If society were more inclusive, we wouldn’t be so scared

This is about as disturbing as it gets. When Trump says he plans to be a dictator, there’s no reason not to believe him.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

Anyone who has been in hospital, or has supported a disabled person when in hospital, will know that the staff there are usually brilliant... But they absolutely do not and cannot provide the level of (mostly personal) care that many need. We still need our carers/support...

I haven’t met one Goddamn person who doesn’t think Elon Musk rendered an unquestionable Nazi salute. And, most of the people I have asked…have been REPUBLICANS.

As a disabled person, I am pretty sure the only things I’ve ever had “just handed to” me are inaccessibility, ableism, and more paperwork.
