There are too many pressing problems now that too many people aren’t comfortable discussing: climate/collapse, COVID, bird flu, fascism, etc. I get it. I want peace of mind, too. But you can’t grapple with a problem without first facing it.

People who don't live in the US who are complaining about how much we're posting about the administrative coup and the billionaire tech bro assholes (and their twerp lackeys) who are looting our government: Trust me, we hate it more than you do. It's just kind of an inescapable topic over here.

I am sick of people forgetting that rural people exist and may not have options when it comes to refusing to shop at particular stores. Every grocery store in my Southern NM community gave in to anti DEI BS. The nearest Costco is 4 plus hours away in Northern NM or Texas. Aldi about the same.

This is your friendly reminder that if your disability accommodations aren't being met, or are treated as an inconvenience by your family, then it's time to find a new family.

starting to consider filming my my friends' lives for 24 hours to show the public what disabled people are treated like on a daily basis at work and in the wild not that it will change most people's minds, but perhaps shame some people into treating us like humans

With Joann closing, and it being the most widespread source of garment fabric, we’re gonna need a tutorial on understanding fabric (and thus how to buy it online if there’s no garment fabric near you), huh?

I couldn’t have freelanced without the ready availability of Joann. This is kind of a death rattle for certain kinds of crafts. Most of the independent fabric stores near me either shut down or went specialty, usually quilting. From a costuming perspective, where were you gonna find velvet?

Just a reminder; I immediately unsubscribe from any YouTuber who says they’re excited for the Harry Potter show, and also give side eye to any creator who covers Harry Potter news who does not at least passingly mention JK Rowling’s bigotry.

Typically, in a #measles outbreak, the CDC would issue a Health Advisory Notice to inform the public & guide protective measures. But the current political climate has muted their response. Without clear, timely information, the measles outbreak in Texas risks spreading within the state & to others.

To be disabled is almost always to be traumatized. It’s living in a body that can’t keep you safe. It’s doctors dismissing you. It’s family and friends abandoning you. It’s living in a society that doesn’t see your value. It’s constantly having to prove your life is worth living.

Telehealth made therapy accessible after 10 yrs of suffering from a debilitating, deeply marginalized chronic illness. It makes medical care possible now that I can barely leave the house and helps me prove I’m still disabled when Social Security comes knocking. We cannot lose it.

We need more abled people to stick up for disabled people right now. They're going after accessibility, 504, IEPs, and RFK wants to put us in labor camps. Yet the ONLY people I ever see talking about this are also disabled.

Someone in our buy nothing group has been making a bunch of lasagnes every weekend and just posting “they’re on the porch, come grab one”. No pressure, no judgement, you don’t have to reply. Just go grab food. It’s really lovely.

I keep seeing takes about Elon's Xs (whatever they call posts over there these days) with takes about how he's a bad manager or dumb because the assumption is that he actually believes what he's posting. Maybe. But here's how I make sense of everything he posts publicly: IT'S PROPAGANDA

This. I'm not defending Musk's intelligence (which is hugely overblown), but we must understand that he doesn't believe the things he says. His statements do not reflect his analysis or actual understanding of anything. He doesn't want to weaponize facts; he wants to make them irrelevant.

I celebrate the 80% of Germans who did not vote for the far right. Do not make 19.6% of German voters into "the" German people (again). "The" German people don't exist! The German population is diverse and divided, but voted overwhelmingly for liberal democratic parties. #BTW25 #GermanElection

Cognitive behavioral therapy was a bust for me because it requires that one assumes everyone is doing their best at any particular moment. If that is the case, I must assume that thousands of people can't be better than bigots constantly fantasizing about doing harm to me.

Being disabled isn’t a failure. It’s not a moral failing either. It doesn’t make someone “less worthy”. And abled folk should have no moral or societal superiority. They’re just lucky… privileged… not better.

Honestly, every single politician makes me sick to my stomach right now. We're in the worst flu season in 15 years, with measles and tuberculosis outbreaks growing, and these people can't even bring themselves to talk about masks or air purifiers. How are they going to save anyone? They aren't.

I see a lot of people posting about higher education. To be clear, higher education collapsed last year when universities decided to ban masks at their commencement ceremonies and platform eugenicists. I don't think our kid will be going to college at all. She's going to be too busy foraging.

When people say, “Only disabled people will die from this,” know that could also mean YOU. You can become part of the disability community at any time and will inevitably become disabled unless you die early. Disability is a part of life. Be careful when you exclude us because it could be you next.

I know it can be frustrating to have a buddy who rarely accepts your invitations, even if you know it's because they're Going Through It™. But as that buddy, currently (and for a while now), I just want to emphasise how lucky I feel to have friends who don't give up on me. ❤️
