If you don’t understand that Les Mis is “Eat the Rich: The Musical™️”, you shouldn’t be commenting on the undertones of the Army Chorus’ performance. #EatTheRich

THIS. Esp when people “mean well” but aren’t actually helping.

I’m so tired of doctors saying my test results are “highly unusual” while refusing to actually figure out what’s wrong with me. #chronicillness

The biggest #arts power move I have seen is the Army Chorus singing a “Do You Hear The People Sing” and “One Day More” medley at the Governor’s Ball for our Dictator in Chief. I’m so proud of them 🥹

Stop buying ASL shirts with “Fuck Trump” finger spelled from hearing businesses. Support #Deaf artists!

Before judging people for not mass boycotting, remember: there’s no ethical consumption in a capitalist society. Many people can’t afford to boycott big box stores for many reasons. Let’s not judge them for the downfalls of capitalism.

Did you really release your inhibitions and feel the rain on your skin? Be so for real

Good morning! 🌇☕️📱 We are caffeinated and ready to fight! We will touch on a number of issues today but before you do anything else, call or visit your members of Congress and demand Medicaid be left alone and absolutely no work req! (202) 224-3121

I avoid using the word "crippling" to describe something bad happening, as "cripple" was created to describe disabled people. Especially when disabled people are attacked by what's happening right now in the US gov, I don't think we should be using the verb that came from describing a disability.

I told a FB group full of liberals that they were just as bad as the right and they did NOT like that

Hot Wheels (Greg Abbott) doesn’t care about accessibility. He’s been working for years to get rid of Social Security Benefits for Disabled people, which he would have to use if he wasn’t overlord of Texas.

If and when Luigi gets out, he would make BANK on OnlyFans. #FreeLuigi

You can forgive And Still not want anything to do with them Boundaries

Ah, The Holy Land™️

the universe knew i'd be too powerful if it didn't make me perpetually exhausted all the time

I told my boss this week that I’m putting my health before over working myself. That was freeing.

THIS! We’r so often forgotten about in activism.

Autistic people don’t need to be cured. We need to be smoked

Stop treating #Autistic people as though we have a disease. There’s nothing to be cured.

I loved ALL of my history teachers. They teach the most important subject in school

There are more *diagnosed* autistic people because they changed the diagnostic criteria and started diagnosing people other than white boys with autism. Also: 40 years of "awareness" campaigns. That's it. Mystery solved.

TO: <ALL STAFF> Please respond to this email confirming that I am cool and funny. Failure to do so will be taken as confirmation of the same.

in the 1900s, bit coins were usually made of chocolate

My favorite example is breaking a bone. Most people have that happen to them and they directly experience disability for that short amount of time.

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

trans people are beautiful and a gift of nature

The measles outbreak in Texas is caused solely by the fact people would rather have their children die than have an #autistic child. If that doesn’t disgust you, you’re part of the problem.

Oh my god, Eric Adams is going to accidentally free Luigi. Amazing.

ALT Text: Let me put this as delicately as possible, so as not to get suspended: In order to save this country, those of us who disagree with this fascist take over of the United States will have to do some serious shit that is way outside of our comfort zone. I’ll just leave it at that.

I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

They love disabled people in “inspirational” stories, until we ask for healthcare, jobs, and rights.

Best ways to support #artsorganizations during this time of uncertainty: A THREAD 1. All donations matter, even $1 donations. They all add up and donations account for more funding than the NEA on average anyways.

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

The reason people think disability and disabled is a slur is because they think being disabled is a bad thing (thanks years of religion saying being disabled meant you were a demon)

Everyone experiences Disability. It’s not something for a fringe group like OP says

Everyone experiences Disability at one point in their lives. Stop treating Disability like it’s a bad word

Also NT folks SHOULD NOT be speaking for or over ND folks when it comes to advocacy for us.

“You’re not like other girls” Thanks, I’m autistic.
