Stunning food + health feature by @chrisecrowley.bsky.social. "It's not the first time Corwin has seen an outbreak... But to him, this time feels different: 'I’ve never seen anything as contagious and as virulent as this, nothing that even compares.'”

Pulled from a library book as I spend a week restoring my metaphorical muscle
“Hard times are coming, when we'll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We'll need writers who can remember freedom—poets, visionaries—realists of a larger reality.” — URSULA K. LE GUIN via Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha’s THE FUTURE IS DISABLED

Trying to collect info in one place for folks. Things are moving quickly. The multiply marginalized will be disparately impacted, especially BlPOC, immigrant, and/or queer disabled folks. Here's the round up from week 1.
Week one disability rights watch. What happened? Removal of the accessibility page and all content in ASL from the White House website. The administration sets the tone for what it does and does not value on its official website. Executive Order "ending radical and wasteful government DEI programs and spending". this seeks to terminate all DEI related programs and work within the federal government in the text DEI is sometimes written to include accessibility as DEIA Executive Order "Ending illegal discrimination and Restoring Merit based Order". Expands the reach of Anti-DEIA tasks including investigating private sector businesses that have any DEI or accessibility initiatives
