when I was unfortunately rinsing my wheels outside I saw this wild looking beetle! I was grossed out and fascinated. It looked like these bygl.osu.edu/node/2215

Look closely at dogbane to spot these iridescent living gems.

I love that something low spoon can turn instantly high spoon 😭😭😭😭😭

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

In other news. My dad used to pretend he had a radio station back in the 80s all the way up to the 2000s. He recorded his mixes on cassettes & there are at least a 100. I am going to start digitizing them & I’m SO EXCITED. Get ready for Sunny’s mixes 🌞 straight from NORFOLKKKK VA (how he said it)

I posted on LinkedIn how people need to talk about COVID in the present tense. it’s doing numbers. One comment however, asked (genuinely) how to speak about specific time points as there are distinct differences (agree) between the past when there was an “emergency” & now non emergency (disagree)

There’s an entire community of black women who were harmed by their feminist mentors as students, and it’s really, really eye opening

Horrid news out of Oklahoma about Dr. Vahid Abedini, a professor of Iranian Studies.

The university has refused to make a public comment on Abedini's detention. Folks with OU connections, you know what to do: call OU and demand they take a stand & support Abedini.

Creating Freedom Movements made a beautiful post honoring Alice Wong, whose impact on our lives, communities, spirits, & Disability Justice is as powerful as it is immeasurable

as co-founder of Crips for eSims for Gaza, she asked for support here: chuffed.org/project/crip...

rest in power, alice ✊
Photo collage on teal background of Alice, an Asian American woman with chin length black hair and gold highlights, wearing fuchsia lipstick and a flowy multicolored blouse, with a trach at her neck. She is looking confidently into the camera. Behind her is a graphic that resembles a yellow sun, as well as yellow stars and yellow text that reads, "Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all." Photo is by Allison Busch Photography. Cream background with small floral illustrations, text reads: We are mourning the passing and celebrating the life of Disability Justice Oracle Alice Wong. All of us at Creating Freedom Movements are just a drop in the bucket of the multitudes who have been impacted by Alice's work. We urge everyone to take some time to learn from her and from the many disabled voices she profiled on the Disability Visibility Project website and podcast, through the anthologies she edited, and in her own memoir. (Scroll through for these.) We also urge folks to engage in practices that honor what Alice taught: the importance of still wearing masks as an act of community care (the pandemic is not over!), and acting in solidarity towards the collective liberation of all peoples. Alice was a co-founder of Crips for eSims for Gaza, for example, a project that still needs our support as the U.S.-supported Israeli genocide and mass disabling of the Palestinian people continues. If you are moved to make a donation in her honor, you can do so here: https://chuffed.org/project/crips-for-esims-for-gaza Disability Visibility Project Website: https://disabilityvisibilityproject.com/ Disability Visibility Podcast: https:// www.podchaser.com/podcasts/ disability-visibility-568507 Book cover with illustration by artist Micah Bazant featuring a midnight blue sky with little white stars. Below is a log with mushrooms growing out of it in multiple shapes and colors. "Text reads: Resistance & Hope, Essays by Disabled People, Crip Wisdom for the People, Edited by Alice Wong, Disability Visibility Project." The 'o' in 'Hope' looks like a full moon. The book cover is framed in yellow and placed at an angle over a cream background with bright floral elements around the edges. Cream background with floral elements along the sides. Red text at the top reads, in all caps, "ALICE'S FINAL MESSAGE FOR THE WORLD, SHARED ON SOCIAL MEDIA BY HER FRIEND SANDY HO:" Below this, black italicized text reads: "Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all."

Because of the ice raids, I haven’t been able to find a caregiver through medicaid since June. For three days a week I have to hire one from a company, and it cost $39.50 an hour. I owe $898 from my last bill and I’m struggling. If youd like to donate I would appreciate it ❤️

I took a couple of methods courses in the nursing school at ucla. One was about research ethics & critically engaging in quantitative research as to critique it. The other was a three quarter course in grounded theory. I loved my nurse colleagues and I truly wonder if MD’s get that same training...

ICE arrested outstanding journalist @davedeckerphoto.bsky.social while he was on assignment covering protests at the facility in Miami. Throw him some money please because as a freelancer he doesn't have the legal support backing a full-timer would and we need to continue fighting for a free press.
