If you are fucking scared right now, then I invite you to calmly and kindly reach out to a disabled person

We live a life of activism because that's the only way we stay alive

Offer us help whenever you can

We know so fucking much, it might blow your mind

Stop ignoring us and WEAR A FUCKING MASK
And there's no one weird trick to activism. Everyone and anyone can be an activist. Find something you're good at that helps people survive this, do it over and over again, and presto! you're an activist now.

It really is that simple. You don't have to do every activism. Just do what you can.

We here are on the far end of the bell curve in terms of political awareness and ideological commitment and its easy to assume that people who voted differently are the same in the opposite direction

When *most* people are in fact clueless and poorly informed and operating on vibes

Do you understand what ideological censorship is, now?

To destroy the results of scientific research, *because it contains the Wrong Words*

A Spanish Inquisition joke, but it’s not funny.

TikTok has an entire 🧪 feed!

SUCH big feels watching:
- dismissal of TikTok as a silly dance app
- dismissal of STEM creators as non #SciComm (will never forget the conference when someone called non-academics "amateurs")
- friends, who reach millions, reconfigure their businesses to stay afloat

This implies that robbery is a job if you don’t get caught.

I’m not trying to argue, I agree with you. I just found that funny.

After today I decided I never again want to waste my time arguing with cis gays about why supporting Harry Potter and the Queen of the TERFs is harmful, so I wrote a blog summarizing the whole thing. Please do share it widely instead of wasting yours.
So someone told you supporting Harry Potter is anti-trans
So, someone told you that supporting Harry Potter is anti-trans, and you either asked for more information or decided to argue about it…
