for everyone's sake, please study it.
anyone claiming organizing, "leftism", "socialism", "communism" without truly embodying and advocating for what's on this list may still be helping, but their view has holes.
we have nothing without our collective health.

Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries.

No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.
A lady on TikTok has been calling churches pretending to be a mother with a baby who needs formula and several churches turned her away. But wouldn’t you know that when she called a Mosque (Islamic Center of Charlotte) they immediately said yes.

While out for a walk
I saw an old man
wearing a shirt that said
“you are not alone,”
and as I walked by
I looked at his masked face,
and as I walked by
he looked at my masked face,
and for that moment
at least for that moment
the words on his shirt felt true.

A minority of us have to think about Covid and mitigation a lot because the vast majority don’t at all.
Some people look at someone using precautions & decide that's enough safety, that they can just coast on the benefits from others' efforts.

Like thinking that herd immunity is enough, so they don't have to get vaccinated themselves.

It's a kind of theft to take advantage of others' work like this.

🇨🇦 Cannot understate how important it is to know that the practice of solidarity with disabled people is anti-fascist
“Covid is only a risk to the vulnerable”.

The comfortable lie that allowed most of the world to rush back to normal. To ignore a global pandemic that’s killing and disabling millions.

Tossing the “vulnerable” aside for comfort paved the way for fascism.

Wear a mask. Stand with disabled people.

Many people don't know that #birdflu is found in more than just birds.
Use the search engine on the website to find which mammals have been affected in your area.

If you find a dead animal outside, make sure to protect yourself by wearing gloves and an N95.

In a world that asked us to be cruel and to close off our heart remember that it’s a good thing to have a heart that can still break.

one of the funniest Generative AI claims is that it's "for people who can't draw." the one thing that people seeking to take me down a peg have said for the past 25 years is that i can't draw. i do it anyway and it's fun and it's fine. to refuse to doodle is to abdicate your own humanity

Really need more of the people who are fighting against fascism to understand that disability justice is absolutely, axiomatically fundamental to that fight.

When they say:
"no one owes each other anything"
Run away, you won't be able to count on them and they have individualism/capitalism to unpack.
They've been conditioned to believe things can't be any better, that people can't treat each other any better.
You never see ppl like that at mutual aid.

The posts that need alt-text the most is every post, including any that deal with the current state of politics and news clippings.

Y'all can't ask for more people to give af and then make it hard for them to be informed. Let's be inclusive

This elderly man showed up to support an anti-trans bill in my home state and then, because he had to wait hours to testify, he was stuck listening to queer folks rally against it

By the time it was his turn to speak, he'd changed his mind

Never doubt that speaking out can change hearts and minds
Wisconsin man who showed up to support an anti-trans bill does something amazing - Queerty

A mask is one of the most effective tools of the resistance.

A well fitted respirator like an N95 protects from Covid, flu, H5N1, TB, measles & more.

It sends a strong message to the government that your health is worth protecting & that you will not obey in advance.

It makes activism accessible

How did Covid policy impact this election result?

Where there’s mass death and disability there is fear. Where there is fear there is opportunity. People will embrace a leader who makes them feel like they’re ‘superior’ as a means of coping with the trauma they’ve been through.
Week One, Executive Orders and a 'Merit Based' Society
It's been a heck of a week. A problematic inauguration address, flurry of harmful Executive Orders, silencing of public health agencies & more. A look at how the disability community is being impacted
