We're in dire need to keep raising money because of the expenses of keeping all of the eSIMs topped up. For the latest about our project: disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2025/01/29/c...

Yes. Keep pushing.

I always love a list of stuff you can do in the face of all this. Thanks @tuck.bsky.social and @nikostratis.com for sharing this.

1. School systems across the United States are declaring they will not comply with Trump's anti-trans executive order. MCPS, Maryland said they will fiercely protect their teacher sand students. Columbus City Public Schools president: "bring it on." Subscribe to support my journalism.

Portland, support striking nurses.

Portland OR, cold weather coming, here’s one way to help.

URGENT: Here’s a list of campaigns to support Black families displaced by the LA fires. Bit.ly/rebuildAD h/t: @ykreborn.bsky.social

Please B00ST

Please PLEASE go comment in favor of this rule. The subminimum wage for disabled folks is vile and evil and *must* be eliminated. The poverty rate of disabled folks is astronomical compared to abled folks. There is no doubt this disgusting discriminatory policy is part of the reason why.

Reminder: High quality masks/respirators such as N95s protect against all airborne viruses including bird flu.

Portland!

In a new proposal touted by Speaker Mike Johnson, transgender youth whose parents are active-duty members of the military would be banned from receiving gender-affirming care. Contact your member of Congress and urge them to reject this attack on military families act.aclu.org/a/defend-tra...

We had to say goodbye to our dear Cali. She was only 2 1/2 years old, but she got a quick and severe cancer. She loved people, and we will miss her horribly.

Thread of fundraisers for people in Gaza. Donate, if you can and share.

I can't believe we raised $1 million USD in about 10 months!! For more about Crips for eSims for Gaza, a collaboration between @pipagaopoetry.bsky.social @thellpsx.bsky.social and myself cripsforesimsforgaza.org?page_id=39

We need more donations since keeping over 4k eSims active cost a lot over time. Please help our efforts! Donate: chuffed.org/project/crip... About the project: disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2023/12/25/c...

Some are confused — Nassau County has a mask ban. NY State doesn’t. Call your state electeds. Fight it! A college in CA has a ban. There isn’t a statewide ban. A mask ban was proposed in NJ but it’s not been passed. Call your state electeds now. Masking up will also help. #NoMaskBans
