The Late Patty Berne Was a Visionary Leader in the Disability Justice Movement
As disabled people face brutal cuts to Medicaid, we must draw on Berne’s insight to link with other fights for freedom.

Five years ago today, the WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Since then, much of the world has moved on—but COVID hasn’t disappeared.

People are still getting sick, hospitals still see surges, and Long COVID continues to disrupt lives.
A digital graphic from WHN.Global features a background image of a crowded indoor setting with people walking, many wearing masks. At the top, a red banner with white text reads "FIVE YEARS." Below, bold white and red text states: "IT’S BEEN 5 YEARS SINCE COVID WAS DECLARED A PANDEMIC." Additional white text below reads: "Since then, much of the world has moved on. But COVID hasn’t disappeared, and many continue to respond accordingly." The WHN.Global logo is in the upper right corner, and a row of five colored dots (pink, green, yellow, blue, dark blue) is in the upper left corner. A digital graphic with a black background and white text. At the top, a red banner with white text reads "FIVE YEARS." The main bold text states: "COVID-19 is not over." Below, a white outlined box contains three bullet points: "We still have the power to protect ourselves and others." "Masking, ventilation, and vaccines remain essential tools." "Every infection avoided reduces the risk of Long COVID." At the bottom, a red call-to-action button with white text reads: "Learn more & take action today → whn.global." The WHN.Global logo is in the upper right corner, and a row of five colored dots (pink, green, yellow, blue, dark blue) is in the upper left corner.

Somebody Somewhere is a wonderful TV series and thanks @brocklesnitch.bsky.social for writing about it amp.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
As a hero of TV underdogs, I’m here to tell you to watch Somebody Somewhere | TV streaming | The Guardian
The show’s central friendship is full of something I love to see onscreen: they try to make each other laugh – and succeed
