I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

There's natural variability in climate, but it's never changed so rapidly and dramatically. We know it's due to humans because when we only look at the natural forcing and ignore human influence, we can't reproduce the observed changes. It's real and it's us.

Nothing like a migraine to make the events unfolding in our country today even that more stressful. I’m trying to focus on the smaller, concrete actions I can take. Fighting the “freeze” is a terrifying and almost inescapable mindset, but I’m undoing it more every day.

Stop letting unfunny men tell you there’s something wrong with you for not getting their “jokes”. Stop fake laughing. Let their reality reflect the truth of how fundamentally they misunderstand humor. Neuter their ability to use “it was a joke” for emotional cover. Make them see nobody laugh.

Don't let Donald Trump extending the TikTok ban distract you from the fact that his Administration is about to conduct mass deportations across America in a matter of days.

I’m so aggravated. Living with boomers who have no true concept of the state of the U.S right now is just.. mind-boggling. Not surprising, but it’s hard to hide my absolute internal crisis right now when they are just having dinner with friends?? While everything burns?

“I don’t consider myself COVID cautious. I consider myself COVID competent,” Zebrowski said. “Cautious would imply that I have an unreasonable fear of something. I do not have an unreasonable fear of this disease.”

I don't trust anyone mocking people for being upset over the TikTok ban in the US. Saying stuff like they're gonna have to get a "real job" now.

When many of the people that rely on that app are disabled and won't be hired for a "real job".

Instead of people being like "OMG the horror coming the way of Social Security etc." I would really love for them to be like "we're not going to let that shit happen".

Just because as someone who is entirely dependent on Social Security to survive I really need you to not let that shit happen.

Facts 📍

'I do think people should be recognized and compensated for labor. But what that compensation looks like in racialized, queer, disabled community has not been money, because that’s not what most of us have,' @drsamischalk.bsky.social in this piece by Tracey Anne Duncan
"What is often difficult for able-bodied people to understand is that adjusting to life as a newly disabled person isn’t just a matter of finding the right care...Although those are crucial necessities, becoming disabled is a total identity shift."
I Wanted Someone To Teach Me How To Be Disabled. Turns Out There Are People Out Here Doing Just That.
Becoming disabled is a total identity shift. That intersection between the practical and the existential is where disability doulas come in.

Trying to survive a collapse is making my mast cells pretty damn angry and I’m not having it. Like can’t one thing go right, please? Can you all just calm down? I’m trying to learn about homesteading while poor, disabled, with no ability to do any of this. #MCAS

I feel so lucky to have my gf in my life. I’m alone on thanksgiving today while my family gets together because they refuse to accommodate me with covid precautions. Well, my favorite drink and bakery treats just showed up at my doorstep from my girl to make my day a little better. I am so lucky.
