"are you a boy or a girl?"

I am the living, burning soul of a murdered planet stuffed into a meatsack and I'm mad about it

"are you a boy or a girl?"

i am the scent of burning leaves on an autumn night. i am the wind shaking bare trees. i am the shadows cast by moonlight. i am the raven's cry. i am the rose and i am its thorns. i shake the very earth with my footfalls.

@jay.bsky.team

So on Fridays our friend AJ Link would open a mutual aid thread to anyone that was in need. Since he had good reach, it really helped a lot of people, especially so many marginalized folk. He literally saved lives.

Free Link. He was a fucking hero around here.

It’s a great day for @moderation.bsky.app to reconsider and unban Link. He is actually a well known figure in disability advocacy and Black In Astro circles. He’s not just some guy who posts.

"They found the federal government to be an extremely accommodating employer. That added an extra layer of grief to their terminations—would their next job actually support them?"

Julia Métraux @juliametraux.bsky.social · 3d

For National Disability Employment Awareness Month at @motherjones.com, I spoke to four disabled federal workers who were laid off about how their old jobs were very accessible—and what the federal government loses out on by having fewer disabled employees. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The human costs of Trump's war on government

For many disabled workers, federal jobs were decent, human, and accommodating: everything the president hates.
