I’ve changed my mind and it turns out I do wish aseptic meningitis and serum sickness on my worst enemies — and actually I’d like to start today, perhaps backdate as well.

Haya, Ahmed, Asmahan, and Oday’s campaign has a new home — please consider supporting my friends as they try to survive in Gaza. Learn more about their story and contribute here bit.ly/3FXOu68

My friends are enduring the unimaginable while their family tries to survive in Gaza: they've just lost their precious 4 year old daughter. Can you help take a sliver of their survival efforts off their plate by sharing/contributing to their fundraiser? I'd be so grateful ❤️ gofund.me/bc631576

How tragic that just two business days into the new year, I find myself having to interrupt internalized ableism and negative self talk about my battered bodymind c/o medical admin burnout thanks to criminal and negligent hospital and insurance systems designed to harm. No, not tragic: how violent.

Imagine denying the only generic rescue inhaler a patient is able to use, per doctors’ expertise/based on patient’s diagnoses. Twice. @Cigna: I’m so curious! Why do you want me to take a medication my heart cannot tolerate, or nothing? You know asthma’s deadly? Oh right, that’s the whole point!

I write! Hire me 👉 makelemonadewithlupus@gmail.com

Ahmed, Hanaa, Habeeba & Asmahan need our support now more than ever. If you’ve been thinking about how to help, this is a great place to start. ❤️🍉

Well, here I am.

Hi, I’m a queer Disability Justice activist, author, and award-winning podcast host.

In September, my first children’s book, Adventurous Adeline and the Back to School Party was released.

Would love for you to check it out and purchase a copy for your local library.

clean air activism is v cool!

Huge storm and flooding in NYC today. This is 4th Ave and Carroll St in Brooklyn, which is near Gowanus Canal, a superfund site.

Reminder: Do not go in the flood waters, it contains pathogens and is a threat to human health.

The flood footage coming out of New York City is the latest example of aging infrastructure built for a climate that no longer exists. The spoken urgency for infrastructure modernization needs to be matched by action.
