Instead of trying to attack disabled ppl, it would be great if liberals/leftists joined disability justice advocates who have been fighting for more vaccine access, and MASKED UP. You are not pro-public health or anti-eugenics if you're not masking right now during the ongoing pandemic.

Just finished A Well-Trained Wife by @tialevingswriter.bsky.social. Absolutely phenomenal book that I highly recommend with the caveat for my comrades in religious trauma/ former fundamentalism to be very very gentle with yourselves when you do.

When flying from Dallas to Washington state in January, *Dallas* was not the end I expected this weather on.

In the spirit of getting myself in the habit of using this app, here are my dogs lately.
