Could you donate the cost of a coffee to a dear longtime friend of mine? She's pregnant and about to lose her home if they don't pay the debt by the 20th December. A share can go a long way!

As a teacher and as the parent of disabled kids, I think either

A. This is really important to them and they don’t have anyone else who will listen, or

B. This is really important to them and they like you and hope it will be important to you too

or C. Both

Twitter/X will delete all heuristics and allow its AI bot Grok to determine what you see on the platform.

This should be a death knell

The chronic illness community have expressed concerns about leaving. The spoons required for migration. Losing networks of care.

My guide to help:
The Xitter Exodus and What it Means for the Disability Community
Disabled and chronically ill people have long used Twitter/X for community, fundraising, companionship and support. With folks leaving in droves - where will we go and how can we stick together?

It's Asexual Awareness Week (or Ace Week)! Did you know #asexuality isn't just one thing, but an entire spectrum with many identities and experiences?

No matter where you are on the ace spectrum, you are part of our community!

Happy Ace Week! Ace week runs this year from 19th to 25tb October.

This week should be about ace joy, as much as it is about awareness, education etc. but we know this week can be difficult too because with increased visibility there also comes acephobia.
