I don't think people are being alarmist when they say the current regime is setting up the legal rhetoric to kill you if they want to. The fact that Antifa isn't really an organization means that they can label anyone as Antifa. Declaring Antifa as terrorists means they can call anyone a terrorist.

Sadly that’s exactly what I would expect from someone employed by Stanford

Our economic system is based on the people who own everything paying us the bare minimum that we need to survive on and working us as much as we will accept and using the profits from that to repeat the process as much as possible in a chain reaction of exploitation and runaway 'growth.'

Your bullies & abusers quite intentionally programmed the idea into you that you don't have any problems that you didn't create or attract yourself. They very much want you to let them off the hook & take the hit for them, if you would be so kind.

I recommend not being so kind.

Automatically updating content can be extremely distracting, especially for users with vestibular disorders or attention difficulties. This could force users to scroll through page content to not see the animation, or to just look away. Allow animations to be paused or stopped.

Honestly, it’s exhausting that people think Gazans should only ask for help to survive to eat, to stay alive but not to dream, to study, or to rebuild their lives. Wanting education, safety, and a future isn’t greed. It’s being human.

Noticing a suspicious pattern re which of my posts are being bookmarked which makes me think that insurance is monitoring my posts.

In case you don’t know, being disabled doesn’t just mean all the difficulty w just living, it also means being scared of being surveilled 🙃

Trauma upon trauma.

One of those days where I feel like I typed the wrong words to help. Mahmoud’s wife has a baby on the way and they have two small kids- they’ve lost literally everything- any help is appreciated

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mahmoud. Mahmoud was a computer engineer doing web development before this. He’s lost his job and home (and many coworkers) and is in a tent with his family including his children Zeina, 6 and Zane, 2. His wife Malak is 7 months pregnant.

You don’t have to run a story about how turnstile jumpers endanger society even if the cops really want you to and ask nicely

I'm so proud of everyone from my old neighborhood of Rogers Park in Chicago. I see what you have been and are doing. I am so proud of how organized the community is and how much more so everyone is becoming. It is inspiring. Just one example... And this is something EVERYONE can do. Everyone.

One great aspect of iconic inflatable costumes (aside from how they instantly undermine propaganda about war zones) is that it's useless to arrest the person wearing one. Cuffing a frog would make law enforcement look pathetic. And carting one off just guarantees that more will show up the next day.

Fuck fleet week. This is not a time I want to hear war planes flying overhead.

The disabled are the only minority group who you can and probably will join. Their treatment is the watermark of your rights and freedoms.

The ONLY way you will not end up disabled in your life is by suddenly dying.

The inflatable costumes in Portland are working because of the same reasons that Wavy Gravy and the Merry Pranksters dressed as clowns for the Vietnam War protests.

I tested positive for Covid yesterday. I was too weak to test earlier.

Big shocker that my father having a narcissistic meltdown and screaming and spitting in my face while threatening me because he’s mad I avoid him because I don’t want covid, would give me fucking covid.

No ID means no doctor.

I love being disabled. I love how everyone tells you to ask for help, yet every time you do, nobody will help. I love how the government puts extra obstacles in place to get some mythical help that doesn’t actually exist. I love how “friends” and family all abandon you when they can’t use you.

It is beyond well established that stress causes health problems in otherwise healthy people, so anyone positing any other priority besides making sure disabled people have their basic needs met, is not actually trying to help anyone except themselves and their bank account.

This incessant focus on employment, even for people who can potentially work, is ridiculous in my view.

The primary focus for any disabled person should be supporting them to maximise their quality of life before anything else is even considered.

Just tested positive for covid. My abusive father, the only person I have been around, is still pretending he didn’t give it to me and going out every day unmasked.

His abuse and refusal to get me medical care made me disabled in the first place.

TS doesn’t know shit about sacrificial lambs.
