I'm glad some restaurants are stepping up to do what they can during the SNAP disruption and I hope they're actually prepared to treat all hungry people well, including people without access to showers or who are visibly mentally ill.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.
I did it because the government isn’t.
This is what I found.

I think we should have this because I care about people, including currently and formerly incarcerated people, and think they should have healthcare. The extra thing that always gets me about this kind of public heath thing is that even if you only care about money, prevention saves money!

Why do Portland people like hosting events at Laurelhurst so much, the park itself is too hilly for many mobility disabled folks to navigate, the surrounding area is also super hilly so hard to bike there, and parking is usually difficult for people driving.

Thinking a lot about the words the Trump administration is using around transness and identity first vs person first language for disability.

Many struggle with writing alt text for charts and other other data visualizations. Amy Cesal's "Writing Alt Text for Data Visualization" hammers home the importance of explaining the chart type, the type of data, and the reason for the chart.

Writing Alt Text for Data Visualization
How do you write text that conveys the whole meaning of a visualization? You probably can’t. But that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t try

A year or so ago the bipolar community here contributed to some infographics I put together. I just made some updates to the “Mania for Normies” handout; more feedback is always welcome, these are living docs!
I’d love for folks to share it with anyone who could benefit 😃

I'm frustrated by commentary on the SAVE act that a. Doesn't talk about trans people and b. Reinforces the sexist and heterosexist assumption that all women and only women who get married change their last names.

It's frustrating that some of my governmental public health colleagues are downplaying the impact of Trump's bullshit with "well we made it through his first term"
a. A lot of people didn't

If you are using Signal, and you are doing something the government considers illegal, the way they are going to read your messages about it is they'll arrest the person you sent the messages *to* and make them show the logs. We see this technique appear repeatedly in "Jan. 6" court filings.

With all of the Executive Orders affecting federal institutions, I'm thinking about the intersectionality of who has to interact with the federal government to get their needs met, including disabled folks on SSDI or SSI and Native folks who get healthcare from the IHS.

I'm excited about the CMS SDOH screening but it's odd to me that the exercise screening question excludes activity you do as part of work.
