What I have to say to people who ask why I am still on these apps: They want to silent dissent. They want their voices and beliefs to be the loudest. If I voluntarily leave these apps then I am ceding my loudest platform & I am done retreating. Holding the line here. Joyfully.

In general I think people mistake ‘disabled’ as a community with solidarity like other marginalizations but while there is solidarity I think it’s more accurate to describe it as a state of being of which there are numerous diverse subcategories, some of which we will all fall under at some point.

What strikes me about the Luigi Mangione/Brian Thompson thing is the juxtaposition of one person deciding who dies with another person deciding who lives.

I’m going to say something bold here and publicly state that “murder is not the way to solve national problems” but suffering from chronic debilitating pain seems to be a much more logical reason for someone to go apeshit than women being in Star Wars

I fell in love with the original #Wicked soundtrack in the early 2010s back in high school, and then became more obsessed when I went to see the Broadway show in 2016. And now we have come full circle in almost-2025, and I am so happy to be back here. This show fills my thespian soul.
