I am 100% here to fight down to the line for trans folks, every time. But I am begging you guys to see disabled people as people, are also under attack and worth fighting for. We are not your collateral damage until they get to the "real rights." We are people. Both/and.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

Things to think about now that RFK is confirmed and cuts to Medicare/Medicaid are on the table: 1) Get whatever vaccines you can, now. Updated TDap. Covid shot. HPV. etc. 2) Start hoarding meds and medical tools if you can. If you have a good doc, ask them about prescribing extras. 🧵 1/3

YES. In addition, negative feedback almost always sticks in admin’s minds, so overwhelm them with positive feedback. The more people praising inclusive behavior and programs, the better. The inclusive library is often taken for granted. It’s under attack. Have their back like they have ours.

You are fantastic. You are a towering TBR pile. You are a grimoire written on a Lite-Brite. You are an ectoplasm-based cocktail. You are a series finale that doesn't disappoint. You are Santa and Krampus frolicking hand-in-hand in a field of wildflowers.

This happened to me in Trump 1.0 when I called in and the dude said, “wow lots of calls about this issue today!” and I asked how many is a lot and he said “Seventeen!” Motivates me to pick up the phone every time.

bravery isn't the opposite of fear, bravery is seeing your fear and accepting it, holding it, subsuming it into yourself, and then continuing stronger and better, while seeing every inch of what your fear is. being trans right now is horrifying and i'm excited to move on to being brave

If you're quiet about your disabilities, you get accused of being a fake. If you're outspoken, you get accused of being attention seeking. Disabled people deserve to be believed and supported without hate. We deserve to be able to thrive.

Make sure you use your library cards. Check out books by Black authors, indigenous authors, queer authors and other marginalized communities. Also, ask your local library to buy more titles by marginalized folks. We often buy those requests. Use Libby! A lot! #booktok #booksky

A huge shoutout to all of the homeless outreach workers + mutual aid groups doing everything they can to ensure that folks living outside stay safe during the impending #WinterStorm (and all year round). It doesn't have to be like this. We can and should house everybody.

singing Alt text is community care, masking (the COVID kind) is community care, testing (but not punching) automatic door openers is community care, disability justice is community care! Everyone’s talking about community. We belong in it, too.

On that note: Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day. Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links. Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

I've been reading & listening & reading & gathering resources & reading about resisting fascists, oligarchs, & robber barons, & I may wind up writing a ~thread~ but bottom line, the lesson that repeats is: Community community community. Organize, remain in, & build community. We are our power.
