I thought I would throw this out there. If anyone wants to ever ask me anything about my experience having a disability, my experinces as someone coming from a mixed cultural and immigrant background, or anything about how that affected things like my education or perspectives; please feel free too
Though my response to it became more chaotic and I aplogize to rua for that, I hope some of my other followers will take a look at their work and have their own much better response
As you begin to build your 2026 reading lists (which is a thing I assume some people do), consider adding my really very short book on AI and Eugenics.
Disabling Intelligences:Legacies of Eugenics and How We are Wrong about AI has a lot in under 50k words.

I don't want to fight, so just take this as a personal psych report: it depresses me, and reduces my faith in education, when I see well-respected people with PhDs adduce the heavy-metal-music-suicide hearings as an inspiring precedent for regulation of matrix multiplication.

If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here
Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻♂️

in high school my friend and I went to the county fair, where there was a huge Republican booth and a much smaller Dem booth, in 2004. we went up to the Dems and got Kerry buttons; the GOP booth shouted at us that they'd give us meal coupons (lots of booths had these) if we took GOP pins. >
And there it is. Per the WSJ piece on pardons a couple days ago, Trump pardoned Cuellar to try and get him to flip parties
It won’t get much oxygen now, but that might approach Trump’s first impeachment territory in terms of trying to use his powers for naked political gain

I admit I cant take commentary on enshittification seriously not because I dont disagree there is some ammount of enshittifification but because more often than not it is used as a way to dishonestly attack accessibility features I know everyone in my family with disabilities has found helpful

This is gonna sound strange if you arent disabled but I also bet a lot of other disabled people will relate. When I discuss something being an accommodation, it is not really about it being easy for me as much as it is about it being what is needed to ensure a form of it exists that society accepts

I think one of the unfortunate parts of disabled person rights is they are something you almost have to continously fight for and discuss even with people who you would expect to be allies because your need will often tie into something they feel is casually dismissable.

After a person is unmasked as a serial killer, the neighbors always say he was quiet and seemed nice.
So at least I know my neighbors aren’t serial killers.
