“I’m very fearful that we are headed towards a less inclusive, less diverse and more segregated public school setting.” - Karma Quick-Panwala, DREDF's Children & Family Advocacy Services Director in a new article by @propublica.org

Great!

How’s her foot? Did you find out anything more or was it a random limp ?

We've been trying to get mom disability for going on 5 years now

What's the point anymore, we really needed it to survive. They denied her food stamps when they saw her selling her own items to survive. South Carolina is the devil.

Bluesky has a huge user base - surely we can raise this!

Can you save someone's life by tossing in a few bucks?

Can you share this to get more eyes on it?

Both times I've been homeless I was lucky to have a couch to crash on. Not everyone has that kind of luck.

You can help create that luck.

You can’t claim you care about disabled people and then turn around and mock someone’s decline of cognitive function. That’s ableism no matter who it is

If you post or repost something mocking Trump for having dementia I’m blocking you. I’m not in the mood for that shit.

Welp that article is going to be seared into my brain.

I'm not linking to it, but I will shout again that DISABILITY IS NOT STATIC. Disabled people, like everyone else, have a range of capabilities.

Just because you see someone do something you don't think they can do doesn't mean they're a fraud.

I actually email them too because I was curious. We'll see. I think there are other phones out there. I think the hearing aid technology works with bluetooth but it depends on a lot of things.

Looks great though I would need to find out about hearing aid compatibility ... need it to hear anything on a phone.

If you decide to have children, you have to do so knowing that your child could be gay, trans, etc., and if you go into it knowing that you wouldn't support them if that were the case, you don't love them and you shouldn't be having children.

Typos that should say on not ok and the option just says search posts but they’re yours I think you can go to anyone’s profile and search their posts

Ok your profile the menu in the three dots has a option to search your own posts now

Rudy is the real deal. Been waiting for an update, and he sure has it! Makes me really glad I migrated @gregpak.com to Blacksky's myatproto.social PDS for non-Black users - gonna migrate @gregpak.net over asap as well.

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

I think it's one of those things that started with good intent (though in an obnoxious way) as an attempt to get people to stop complaining about stuff in fanfic that was clearly warned for... but like with most things it spread and has become meaningless especially when it's the only tag used.

I don't even know what to say about @aaron.bsky.team announcing that actually they feed all images posted on Bsky into an AI that just a year ago they told everyone they had banned from using Bsky images

“Since this new administration took office, the unemployment rate for people with disabilities has increased at triple the normal rate of unemployment."

For many disabled workers, federal jobs were decent, human, and accommodating: everything the president hates.

The Trump Regime is killing SOAR

Getting closer to figuring out which one I potentially want to get. Though I need to figure out what the different classes mean and make sure I'm getting the petal assist not a higher speed one. Still need to make sure I have enough saved so I can get all the accessories at the same time!

I got to try out another ebike over the weekend @gravelinfluencer.bsky.social - by luck I was at my town parade and saw some ebikes go by. Turns out there a local ebike company that brings you bikes to check out. Tried a Revi ebike that was very cool since I was able to get on and off easy.

Sharing this again. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing. My wife and I are both chronically ill/deal with chronic pain, and all this walking is really wrecking us.

Really exhausted by so many progressive anti-racist, queer-affirming folks still being ableist af
