I think that we are all underestimating how terrible the economy is going to be next year. A lot of the impact(s) of the horror bill will come on line in the next couple of years.

When I talk to my students about law and resistance, I talk about how people tend to think in terms of whether they would’ve acted in 1942, but that they should instead ask themselves what they would’ve done in 1933.
“I think we have to be careful with the Nazi comparisons” people are always waiting until we are five minutes until the Holocaust and then they’re like well it’s only ethnic cleansing not a Holocaust
Is this clear enough or are we still doing that whole thing where we pretend it’s about “crime”?

I tire of the culture that asks us to classify and pathologize every personality quirk or idiosyncrasy. At the same time, I recognize how we live in systems that require us to identify our “deficiencies” in order to get support. Exhausting, all of it, really.

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

Multiple disabilities. Was hard enough for me to accept but then to deal with judgement from others was awful.
Disability isn’t a bad word.
There’s nothing wrong with being disabled.
There’s nothing wrong with identifying as disabled.
Ableism teaches us that we have to hide our disabilities.
Self acceptance means we stop hiding.
We won’t go gently for the comfort of others.

Your yearly reminder that “holiday” celebrations that only include Christian traditions are not, in fact, inclusive even if you don’t use the word Christmas, so tbh I’d rather you just say it’s Christmas.
Until a few years ago, ugly holiday sweaters didn’t exist. They’re ugly Christmas sweaters, with some generic Jewish iconography to be “inclusive.” But the truth is, when I have to buy one to wear to a work party, I feel like I’m in another culture’s drag.

Every time Covid and learning loss hits the news, people act like the only factor is folk staying home and learning online, rather than… Living through a global mass death event.
