I'm working on an article about why telling disabled patients to 'lodge a complaint' when we're mistreated in hospital is NOT a solution Ironically I was just severely mistreated and may actually be forced to lodge a complaint If you've complained & been ignored and want to comment... reach out!

RFK Jr was directly asked whether a woman having an incomplete miscarriage in a state with an abortion ban should receive emergency care. His answer? “I don’t know”. The only acceptable answer is “Yes”. Women have already died from pregnancy complications going untreated due to abortion bans

Friend: "Outside of @gailsimone.bsky.social my friend and I know more about comics than anyone in that group." Me: "But if you were inside Gail, it would be weird. Hard to remember things about comics while being digested." Now I'm imagining Gail's stomach as a Sarlacc pit full of comics nerds.

I just do not have the strength or patience for gestures broadly at everything.

Good news: I went for a checkup. Receptionist, nurse, and doc were all masked. I even got a compliment on my @flomask.bsky.social @nickelpin.bsky.social decals! Bad news: No one else was masked. There was a box of free masks in the lobby, but they were ineffective surgical masks.

Disabled people have been trying to warn the public for years that “you do you” Covid policies were leading to increased discrimination and eugenics attitudes. When States began criminalizing masks, we pleaded for support. We asked our peers to wear a mask in solidarity. 🧵

The #CripCoop was set up to help chronically ill and disabled people help each other. People trade skills to make life a little easier for everyone, and achieve things that would be impossible alone. Want to join in? Respond here, share what you create and what you want to see in the community!

Thank you to @fringe-element.net for letting me be ridiculous for a once-in-a-lifetime event. I can't show you the art I commissioned (it's a surprise, and full of too many in-jokes) but she did a fantastic job and was super patient. Highly recommended. Check out her website for her existing art!

I care for these reasons. And also because I care about my trans friends. And also because I'm Jewish and I know the poem.
