This is exactly why ICE needs to be unmasked and ID’d — like cops.

📌 Cases of ICE impersonators this year alone outnumber the last four presidential terms combined.

People think that when you become disabled, support magically appears

That once it’s “official” you will have your basic needs met

The truth is people fight for years to get the bare minimum in benefits

Caregivers are nearly impossible to find

If you’re not rich or very lucky… you’re on your own

I keep focusing on that too. A lot of things aren't ever going back to normal again, a lot of things were irreparably broken, a lot of things have been permanently destroyed, etc. Also a lot of things have been lost/delayed indefinitely because of the time that has been stolen from us. Again.

Dana El Kurd @danaelkurd.bsky.social · 1d

Can I also say I am so angry today. It's the lives lost, the cities wiped out, the time taken from us. We have been consumed with this level of unspeakable violence for 2 years. To think of all the potential futures taken away... it's unfathomable

Everyone should learn about Gisele Pelicot & how her case was a stunning example of why women are done hearing “not all men”.

Everyone failed her.

Her own husband drugged her & arranged for her to be abused.

Her doctors ignored her medical complaints.

Misogyny & patriarchy destroyed her life:

Gisele Pelicot, Medical Misogyny and How Disabled People Face Increased Risk of Abuse

Most of us have heard Gisele's story. It's a reminder that even men you trust can harm you. Did you know that she went to her doctors for help? A look at how medical misogyny contributed to her abuse.

Patriarchy protects predators

It’s not surprising they’re suppressing the Epstein list

Survivors don’t matter. It’s about protecting the men

Look at Gisele Pelicot. Raped by over 50 men who were all convicted. Dragged back into court because one felt he shouldn’t have to bear the label of rapist

There should be a fall gardener's support group, and it should start with all of us pledging "I don't need to buy that."

Plague Poems @plaguepoems.bsky.social · 19h

With every new variant
with every new wave
there are warnings
of which new symptoms
you need to watch for,
and yet
with every new variant
with every new wave
the main symptom
you need to watch for
is everyone around you
insisting that they
just have a weird cold.

Missing the woods, and sharing our wanders with everyone, bad today.

From a past trip. Some Chugach Mountain rainforest zen for you today. May be a reheated leftover, but its still, Alaska.
