My latest explores ways to make online spaces safer for people with disabilities, as well as how to include us in resistance & activism.

We spend our lives resisting our bodies & a world that wasn’t built for us. We know how to cope with uncertainty. We live in the grey.

This banner is on many CDC pages, including one about communicating with people with disabilities.

science doesn’t change to suit the whim’s of a fascist. Updating public health data in this manner is censorship, and it’s what the Nazis did in Germany.

Science is the enemy of authoritarians.

Last year, we replaced our gas generator with a whole-house battery backup system. Tonight it’s going to get a full trial, courtesy of the #BombCyclone

The neighborhood is dark, but daughter with major storm anxiety has her iPad and her LED lights and is calm. Makes that system worth every penny.

Feel like I should post something pithy, but then folks would expect that going forward. Life and chronic illness are rough, and I suck at follow through - so anyone who follows me will probably get kittens. My wee void overlords help a great deal with the rough days.
