I am in awe of people who knew @sfdirewolf.bsky.social very well, having the capacity to write such a brilliant remembrance piece so quickly.

I bunged disabilityvisibilityproject.com/book/tiger/ on my credit card and have been reading it this weekend.

I feel each of us can be more like Alice.

Cats and I are still not fans of Military flyovers. We don’t care if it’s your birthday. Stop wasting money on your stupid planes shows. People can’t afford food, healthcare, housing, etc. Fuck off.

Love getting texts from family that just say “X is still alive.” With no other information, didn’t know they were in a position I should be worried about that and all follow up texts and calls have gone unanswered. So, thanks?

A snake just fell from the first floor rafters (we have no ceilings) so this is fun.

⚠️ Gaza City is reportedly under relentless attack tonight.

It’s challenging to find news from people on the ground because Israel has assassinated most of the journalists.

My comrade, the amazingly talented photographer and artist, Gioncarlo Valentine is running a sale of some of his prints. They are gorgeous. Purchases help to support him and his ongoing work.

If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me

Newsom today announced he’s putting together a team of state agencies, including CHP, to destroy homeless encampments across the state. He says there’ll be efforts to shelter people, but the focus of the task force is dismantling homeless encampments.

With the cuts to SEPTA making buses and trolleys (all I’ve ridden yet) are so packed brining my walker takes up a ton of room and pisses people off. Which means I just don’t bring my walker and cause more issues to my body. Great times!

We spent $150K in the last month and only raised $58K. Thankfully the earlier Itch Bundle fundraiser meant that we haven’t yet ran out.

All support is deeply appreciated to keep Gazans connected through forced starvation & colonial violence:

Hey so just fyi, if you're abandoning trans rights you're abandoning all civil rights

At that point what the fuck is the point of the democracy you're willing to sacrifice trans people for

This actually isn't hard at all, quit making it pretend hard because you finally feel scared too

Two babies' skulls from a notorious 1980 homicide case were found at Philadelphia's Mutter Museum -- apparently donated by a former medical examiner in the late 90s.

Sensitive, essential work from my colleague Rosa Cartagena: www.inquirer.com/arts/mutter-...

The world believed the five infants found in Stella Williamson's attic had been put to rest. Decades later, the truth is still unfolding.

Late to this, but still have lots of thoughts so let’s go: one like = one point on the political economy of disability and chronic illness. Consider this my belated ADA anniversary offering :)
