Musk called DOGE “maximally transparent,” but it has refused to release info about its spending and operations — including the names of its employees. Thankfully, @propublica.org has identified 46 of them, including 12 new names just added to the list today.

Rescue worker Graeme Hart, 32, said: “He was looking a little thin, but otherwise he seemed in weirdly good spirits for someone who’d been isolated from society with seemingly no hope of return.”

So many great pictures today. I'd share, but there are no alt tags and I'm too tired to do it for them. Goddamn this is demoralizing. Even the fucking left wing can't be bothered to include disabled people! Do better!

Finnish MEP Mika Aaltola reports that the Trump led US has given Europe three weeks to agree on terms for Ukraine’s surrender to Russia. "Trump prioritizes Russia’s security concerns now and in the future. Let them own their mess. We have three weeks to grow up." www.kyivpost.com/post/47574

Cosign all of this. Additionally: - Yes, you need to install and use Signal - No, WhatsApp, Telegram, etc etc are not good alternatives - You need to get as many people as you can to join you on Signal

1 yr after a WY man shocked the world by running over a wolf in his snowmobile, carrying her into a rural bar and letting friends snap selfies with her before killing her, state lawmakers are still refusing to ban "whacking" outright. A majority of WY residents want to ban the practice.

Hey, American Democrats? Today is a good day to tell everybody that President Krasnov is doing so much harm to the economy that fixing it will require raising the top tax rate to 90% and introducing a 50% wealth tax on inheritances over $10 million. Yesterday would have been better.

I love sports bras. Everyone needs a piece of clothing you can only put on with pliers and only take off with an ax.

I need allistic people to comprehend this. It is impossible to find therapy for autistic children that ISN'T conversion therapy. And even harder to find non-conversion therapy that takes insurance. Conversion therapy is all they cover.

The #1 reported reason people avoid doctor’s appointments is because they’re afraid of finding out they have a serious illness. If you have that fear, that’s normal and you’re not alone. Also remember, there is basically no serious illness that isn’t less serious if you catch it sooner.

you know the videos about how you should “shut the fuck up” when the cops want to talk to you? the cops read social media. so shut the fuck up. followers want to know what you’re organizing? “i’m not discussing my day with you”

Mere months ago, the following words would have seemed wildly hyperbolic: Canada🇨🇦 must strengthen its defences vs. the US, fast. Our democracy + sovereignty is in serious jeopardy. We only have a few months to get going. Luckily, we can learn from other small democracies, like 🇫🇮+🇸🇪+🇳🇴, with long… 1/x

So one of the things that I think is lost on AI proponents is what I call the card catalog effect, a thing I shouldn’t call it because a lot of people probably have no experience with a card catalog.

Chronic illness is just that… chronic. We may have good days & bad days … but we’re always sick When you say “what’s wrong with you now” or “are you better yet” you’re refusing to accept the reality of our disabilities. Our conditions don’t relent. There’s no break. There’s no “better”

Note: I've been overwhelmed starting 2 to 3 weeks ago, both overall and with the Bluesky and Mastodon traffic I'm getting, so for self-care I paused following more accounts starting a week ago, and will only resume if and when this gets better, barring people I know and want to keep in touch with.

You know why getting long covid is worse than preventing it? Because there are no treatments. None. Zero. Zilch. Five years in, we have no reliable way of curing long covid. I’m not kidding: no approved treatments. Nothing. And we still have *no idea* what the long term outcome is for patients.

A reminder that @scarleteen.bsky.social is 100% queer and trans run and will ALWAYS be providing educational materials, support, and more to youth seeking sex, relationships, and health education from a source who won't casually erase their existence with their political winds.

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.

Every "what the fuck dude" you don't say, is encouragement for assholes. Every "ew, why the fuck would you say that" and disgusted expression you hold in, is teaching bigots that their bigotry won't face even the smallest pushback. Teach em a different lesson.

Now that the Republicans have axed special education programs, they're going to go after the ADA. They're going to go after disability. My transportation program is the only way to get to my doctors. It's how I survive. Nazis came after the disabled early last time around. We are not safe.

A lot of people reeeeeally do not want to believe women have sexual desire. I would be pretty taken aback if I were a woman sexually active with a man who thought I shouldn’t feel desire. DUDE WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT HOW YOU VIEW WHAT WE DO.

Things I wonder about instead of doing stuff I should do (like showering) #8941789647: why are they called "elevators" when they go down as often as they go up?
