Since I've decided to dust off this platform here's a short list of things to know about me.

I'm queer, Trans and disabled.

I am an antifascist.

Abortion is Healthcare.

Sex work is real work.

Land Back.

Fuck racism and bigotry in all its forms.

ACAB.

If you disagree, kindly fuck off.

Call me old fashioned but I miss the days when we would all be shocked if a President posted a video of himself flying over protesters and dumping poop on them.

I miss the days when a video like that would have been grounds for instant removal from office.

I miss accountability.

I'm playing Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth on my launch Switch. It's kind of wild to me that a ten year old game feels more alive and full of heart and character than anything I've seen out of the newest Pokémon game released in 2025. I'm a big Pokémon fan, too. It's just sad to see.

I'm physically disabled and immunocompromised, so I can't attend a protest tomorrow. But if you're able to, you should. Show up, make your voice heard. But use common sense. Don't sign up, don't engage with outside agitators, don't give anyone you don't know your last name, etc.

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly.

Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.

Stay safe out there.

This picture is from about 5 minutes after being hit. A visible bruise is forming on my right cheekbone and by my right eye.

Hey @nytimes.com, did you change your headline, and change "Islamophobic attacks" on Mamdani to just "attacks," because Elise Stefanik and the GOP bullied you into it? Really? Why are they no longer Islamophobic attacks, as your headline originally and correctly stated?

JD Vance when people makes jokes about Charlie Kirk: "call their employer."

JD Vance when Republican staffers say "I love Hitler" and fantasize about throwing political opponents in gas chambers: "that's what kids do...we're not canceling kids because they did something stupid."

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.

And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.

When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

A lot of people think it’s unreasonable to expect masking in public spaces

What’s unreasonable is accepting a mass disabling event when we have tools to stop it

What’s unreasonable is expecting disabled people to stay home forever

What’s unreasonable is risking your long term health unnecessarily

Many folks can’t comprehend the loneliness and frustration of dealing with chronic illness.

They believe that when you get sick, you go to the doctor and they “fix it.”

The reality is far different.

You’re often gaslit, ignored or mistreated.

You learn quickly that no one is coming to save you

OpenAI being used to create erotica will be the equivalent of having a doctor milk the prostate

It'll be cold, sterile, devoid of emotion, and make you feel so embarrassed for not using the real thing

Disabled people can’t “just leave” the US.

It’s not a question of them “trying harder”.

It’s a lack of resources, money and physical health combined with the fact that most countries won’t allow disabled people in.

We must fight to ensure no one is left behind.

“I don’t mask and I’m not sick”

“I don’t know anyone with Long Covid”

“I’m not worried I trust my immune system”

“If I get sick I will try harder to get better”

These are all coping mechanisms.

People can’t accept that they will likely become disabled eventually. 🧵

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

Bad fatigue sort of feels like when you are about to go under anesthesia and you can't keep your eyes open. But with fatigue, you're still expected to do stuff.

Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges

DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t

The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press
