Amy graduated from her Co-Active Leadership Program with her new service dog Bronwyn and her old service boy Hayden helping her to the end! Our last week in Sonoma was one of laughter, tears, access, barriers, coffee runs, dirty jokes, service dog shenanigans, queer joy, and cripple-punk kinship. 🤟

Any other gay men struggling to vibe with Heated Rivalry? The excitement and joy among you all is genuinely wonderful, but I feel like I must be missing something.

I am going to Latin America on a small travel grant, but need $3,000 more for coverage of unions fighting back against Trump.
I've covered unions in Latin America for 20 years & feel workers abroad need to hear their stories.
Donate & fightback!

Send a Labor Reporter to Latin America to Cover Unions Fighting Trump
With unions in Latin America fighting back against the US attack on Venezuela, it's crucial that we amplify the voices of trade unionists there, but these stories of rank-and-file workers aren’t reach...

You shouldn't need to see a woman's death in photos or videos to care about her. That isn't empathy. Empathy is the ability to find within yourself the means to love someone in abstract. It does not demand evidence or ask that the last intimate, violent moments of her life be made into spectacle.

Anyone have any disability advocacy / rights / justice connections in Los Angeles? Really trying to find a job. I'm looking for anything, but would prefer to be doing the work that is important to me, and for a safe, access-driven employer. I keep trying to network, but I'm not getting anywhere.

Almost every single job opening cites "strong verbal/oral communication skills" as a requirement. Not a preference. A requirement. Even "inclusive" and "equity-focused" employers. Even disability and Independent Living employers.

Bruna Ferreira isn't some political prop of comeuppance for Karoline Leavitt. She's a person, a young woman and mother forcibly detained by ICE and awaiting deportation as a prisoner.
Bruna Ferreira came to the US from Brazil as a child, and by all accounts, lived a life like any American: playing on the high school tennis team, getting married and divorced, building a small business and helping raise her son.

Can y'all just read Gregory Maguire's books? I'm begging you to read the books. There are four novels in the Wicked Years series: Wicked, Son of a Witch, A Lion Among Men, and Out of Oz.
I don't want to be "that guy" (🤓☝️📚) but the film/musical is comparatively quite superficial.
