I’m not really good at sharing this kind of info, b/c I know there are always others out there who are experiencing far worse, yet persevere. (My Heroes.)
Anyway…I’m dealing with some health issues right now. So I won’t be here as much as I would like to be for a while.
Thanks for understanding.

“Able-bodied” may sound like a medical determination, but, as disability activist
@imanibarbarin.bsky.social says, it’s really just a vague way “to signal this idea that disability can be seen.”

To my Hawaiian friends here…
I’m taking my family to Hawaii next Summer. I know most of the Islands like the back of my hand, except for Hawaii.
They would like to see Kīlauea, and Volcano National Park in general.
Any recommendations for a one night stay and dining?
Book a tour, or rental car?

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart.
Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE.
ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.

For over 300 years now, it is a bedrock principle in Anglo-American constitutionalism that obedience is owed according only to law. Refusal to follow an illegal command is not only a moral choice but an absolute duty.
