Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in

Alrighty, so, since a lot of folx suddenly want to discuss Indigenous peoples a couple of reminders: * capitalize the “I” on Indigenous; * don’t talk over Indigenous peoples. If you listen you can learn more; * you having a relationship with an Indigenous person and using that to silence another /1

Native people serve in the military at a higher rate than any other racial or ethnic group. The Defense Department will not celebrate Native American Heritage month this year. indianz.com/News/2025/02...

Alt text serves as a lot of different purposes, too! All of which improve accessibility (for more than just people with vision-impairments). I use it quite often to understand memes and read fine-print screenshots.

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance. Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.

disability tax is real. whether it’s mental or physical, if you need accommodation it’ll cost you, when things aren’t accessible it’ll also cost you. if by some miracle you’re able to provide for yourself you’ll still struggle to save because what most consider luxury is just a basic accommodation 🙃

"Secular" Christmas isn't a thing. You can celebrate Christmas without believing in Christianity as a religion but you're still participating in a Christian holiday. Claiming its all "pagan" is not only inaccurate but also serves to downplay the Christian aspects and talk over minority religions /1

This is exactly why I combat the "Christmas is pagan" or "Christmas is secular." It always leads to antisemitic supersessionism or normalizing Christian hegemony. It doesn't fight religiousity but in fact supports it

It took four days from submission to publication, and nearly five years from publication to retraction.

I’ve cared for infants who stopped breathing w/ pertussis. School aged kids who died of flu or COVID. And many of my patients can’t be vaccinated because they’re on chemotherapy or are immune compromised. Vaccinations save lives of those who get them & those who cannot. It’s that simple.

Fortuitous timing. I attended today's @sfdcc.bsky.social event featuring Yu, moderated by Haben Girma. Having been active in #DisabilityJustice spaces for years now, I wondered why I'd never heard of Yu before. Now I know. Thank you, @lizjackson.bsky.social. #DisabilitySky #ThingsDisabledPeopleKnow

There are many reasons that organizing must be different now, like: 1/x the mechanisms of the State will function VERY differently—the old ways no longer work. After the last 10 years of stress/activism, many of our adrenals are trashed already, to say nothing of the impact of COVID on the +

So about that viral story on BCBS limiting coverage for anesthesia...yeah, that was propaganda by the main association of anesthesiologists. It's good to keep in mind who's telling you things, who they're feuding with, and what they have to gain if you believe them.
