I’m getting a lot of requests for help with fundraisers. I’m unfortunately an incredibly chronically ill person and don’t have the capacity to help personally with fundraisers. I can’t do advocacy work in the way I used to, but I’ll link to some helpful threads.

This explains why British Library staff are on strike

Alice Wong was one of the most effective people challenging the Whiteness of disability communities and its many flaws, but who believed fiercely in us as a community, in disabled people as oracles.
Alice brought so much to so many of us, it’s hard to measure the kind of gratitude I have for that.

It is really hard being part of communities where loss and grief are so fucking common. And they shouldn’t be. It feels so heavy today.

It's wild seeing people act surprised that Keir 'Alpaca attacker' Starmer is authoritarian. The guy that deported someone for stealing ice cream. The cunt so servile to america that he tried having an autistic man sent to Guantanimo for trying to find out if aliens existed.
