I have chronic pain. The kind that can’t really be medicated. Apart from “invent magic meds” there’s nothing that society could do to make it hurt less. Activists focus on societal changes because those are within our power to change & would make the world more accessible for all.

This kind of heat causes serious medical events, some deadly and some disabling. Climate change most impacts those already marginalized in other ways. Elderly, disability, and poor communities will be at greatest risk. Show up for them: share info about risk, wear an n95, demand climate action.

On my 'following' tab I was surprised to see a post about 'liberals like me' from someone I am very much not following.

“Just leave the country” is not an option for most disabled people. Many countries won’t accept high cost health users. Many have income and savings requirements before they will even consider you. Leaving is in many ways, a privilege. Fight for those who have to stay behind.

In other news, looking back at the last few months it does seem I have and continue to be in autistic burnout, which means: -No longer suspecting I'm autistic (still self-dx) -Social skill regression (less talky) -increased sensory sensitivity (more hurty)

Hey. Really quick, let’s talk about Getting Out. By now, I hope you know that moving internationally is not only prohibitively expensive, it’s also just straight up prohibited in a lot of cases. Disabled people, for example, are barred from immigration in pretty much most countries. 🧵

Every time I go on Reddit, esp Canadian bits, it's just so transparently right wing and anti-Indigenous. At one time I was actively on there trying to engage positively but it's not worth it.

The Autistic lived experience often includes meltdowns, shutdowns, and burnout Especially if you’ve been working really hard to camouflage autistic traits your entire life

Some random person visiting my mom's place today asked why I was wearing a mask, if I was sick. Visiting someone without masking shouldn't be happening. One reason why I am forced to mask at home is bc nobody takes any precautions.

Hi friends! Expenses are somehow still climbing for this move (the cats have to go to Frankfurt??), so it's all on sale. Literally all of it, including making me annotate books. First editions, paperbacks, hardcovers- it all has to go. Act now and I'll make Jason doodle something on the title page.

The Soviet Union figured out how to eliminate homelessness in the 1930s. It’s been 100 years and capitalism hasn’t solved it and liberal thinkers treat it like a mystery. That probably means something about the actual solution but I can’t use my brain lest I accidentally escape capitalist realism

Great points made about how labor trafficking has become acceptable under entry level work pyramid schemes. The first time I got paid for free lancing was under a proposed internship.

Dumpsters attract raccoons, dead zebras attract hyenas, and huge stores of data will inevitably attract Elon Musk and violence-minded feds. And that's why I think data minimization is really important, as I explain in this newsletter article: little-flying-robots.ghost.io/a-brief-ode-...

A) This 2) Who is anyone to be the arbiter of another person’s gender identity, or sexuality? How do we know that “straight ally” isn’t there because they’re really questioning? Or bi/pansexual in a hetero passing relationship? Or secretly an egg exploring the possibility of cracking? We don’t.

Whatever your personal beliefs on Assisted Dying, we should all be able to agree on 2 fundamentals: No means no. If a patient doesn’t want it, end of discussion. It should never be offered in lieu of care or social supports. If it is, it’s not compassion. It’s eugenics 🧵
