It is going to continue becoming increasingly important for you to understand and internalize that nice is different than good.
The sooner you get there, the better for us all.

Hey, so,
If we could NOT respond to the GOP healthcare “plan” with laughter at fat, disabled, and fat disabled people, that would be great.
I hate MarkyMarkwayne as much as the next person, but “take a look at your constituents” is punching in the wrong direction.

There's always a huge uptick in DUI-related deaths during this week, esp Wed-Sat.
Pls don't drive if you've been consuming intoxicants. Please be prepared to encounter folks on the road who consumed intoxicants & drove anyway.
& if you're a sober human who is struggling, pls reach out.
Be safe 💛

If you shrugged off "Even though you'll find the vulnerable will fall by the wayside" bc it meant an end to a minor inconvenience for you at the expense of *everything* for us, then I'm less than zero percent interested in your incredulity about anything to do with how disabled folks are treated now
I get a bit irritated when I see “now they’re coming after disabled people?!” like we didn’t all see that clip in 2015.
They have ALWAYS been coming after disabled people. They use us to stoke fear, to delegitimize the agency of our own and other groups, as scapegoats, as bellwethers, as excuses.

🎁 For this holiday season, consider gifting COLOR TASTE TEXTURE! It’s a great primer for people of all ages with little to no experience cooking. If you have some neurodivergent friends and family, or parents of littles, they might love this! It’s not just a cookbook, it’s a new approach to food. 🎁
I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.
Color Taste Texture by Matthew Broberg-Moffitt: 9780593538593 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books
An accessible family cookbook that offers solutions rather than tricks to empower the food-averse, autistic, and picky eater, with 46 recipes. This much-needed cookbook combines tips and techniques.....

I've seen such an uptick of talk of chatbot usage in various disabled spaces, both for "med advice" and "companionship."
I'm among the 1st to pile on re: AI, but I get it & getting it is awful. We've been abandoned & we know it.
If you're anti-AI, great!!
Pls also be pro-human & show up for us.

We don’t need alternatives to ICE.
We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE.
ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

What Trump/admin says: “quiet piggy,” death to senators who encourage following the law, swastikas are not divisive, invading Venezuela is fine, Ukraine should give up land, killing journalists “happens” but don’t embarrass the killers
